Karen is here

Walking out of the airport karen stretched out her long slender arms and her bag on her side. She has a waist lond blonde hair that is tied loosely on her back. She wears a white shirt and jeans. With her tall figure she only needs to wear a pair of sports shoes and black shades she'll look like a refined, easygoing, handsome young man.

'Yes this is it with this disguise nobody will know I'm a woman.' karen thought looking proudly at her reflection on a glass wall beside her. Her chest was flat due to her skillful wrapping.

The airport was filled with people and the road was full of cars passing and stopping one at a time. It was quite lively with all the laughter and whispers at every corner. Marching her way to hail a taxi beside the road the view of the place was magnificent and she stopped to take a look. A moment later a charming smile broke across her perfect face.

'So this is the legendary country L where my father found my mom huh? they kept boasting about their love story when my father's family did not like my mom and how they went through life and death here together. Oh how cheesy just thinking about it makes me shiver all over.' karen thought rubbing her arms.

Snapping out of her thoughts she found an old man coming to her spot but was pushed by two middle age man who was fighting one another.

"young man do you need a lift? I can drive you to your destination." the bald man asked giving his best smile that he could muster while rubbing his hands together.

"hey! I saw him first back off!" a fat man yelled at the bald man and looked at me from head to toe and said "listen here young man don't get fooled by this baldy over here his car is dirty and old you don't want to ride on his car. I have a better one it's clean and new a perfect ride for a perfect young man as yourself. What do you say? hmm?" the fat man said praising me as much as he could with a smile showing his yellowish teeth. The bald man was offended and started punching the fat man. like any other if someone punches you, you punch back. Now both the middle age man was fighting each other and insulting at the same time.

karen who doesn't give a dang about them walked away as if she saw nothing and approached the old man who turned around to leave after getting pushed earlier.

"sir, can you give me a ride? I just arrived and I don't have someone I know who lives here. I'm kinda scared of getting scammed like in my previous travels so it would be great if you can help me. you look like a very nice person." karen spoke in a voice that belongs to an easygoing young man as herself.

The old man was a bit surprised by the voice and turned around to see the tall young man smiling at him. In the beginning the old man was nervous but when he saw the young man's smile before him he felt relaxed and unconsciously gave out a genuine smile. Seeing the young man's gentle approach, he did not feel disgusted like how a fake lady would help him just to get attention from someone. He felt that this young man before him gives out a feeling of reassurance and respect.

Being a taxi driver for many years now he knows a thing or two about the new generations attitude especially here in the capital. Today he felt pure kindness and respect for an old man like him.

Seeing that he's not responding karen got a bit worried and asked reaching her hands out to hold the elder "sir are you alright? does anywhere hurts?"

Waking up from his thoughts he shook his head and held the outstretched hand of the young man before him and said"thank you for your kindness young one but Im alright come come I'll give you a ride where do you want to go? do you want me to help you find a place to stay? as you said you might get scammed but don't worry im not a bad old man..." he talked all the way from recommending some great views to visit here in L country to every bit of detail that a citizen of this country should know about. He even took a detour on the way to a hotel just to show some places along the way.

"thanks for the tour sir. How much will I pay for the ride and your wonderful advertising?" karen asked as she chuckled warmly.

Hearing the young man's comment the old man flushed red as he looked away and said"young man you shouldn't embarrass an old man! now get going. It's late and you must be tired from the flight. The ride is on me no need to pay."

"gramps, I don't like cheating old people. Here just take this as my payment for the tour like ride. I enjoyed it very much thank you." karen said putting 3,000 cash on the old man's palms. Freezing on his seat the old man looked troubled and wanted to complain but karen insisted on taking the money.

"young man you know this is too much but seeing you insist on it then I will gladly receive." the old man spoke gently and thanked him before waving good bye after all everyone works hard to earn money.

Walking in the hotel karen spoke with the receptionist and went in the elevator pressing the 3rd floor button upon arriving she opened the door to her room and went in. The room was ordinary a window beside the bed, washroom to the other side and a flat screen TV on front. She took a bath and immediately jumped on the bed as she was really tired.
