My speedometer read 155kmp/h. Quite fast for Karak. Quite proud too. :) It's 10:45 now. I should be able to reach Kajang by 12am...
Reminds me of my dad's lecture.. " Don't drive more than 80kmp/h in Karak Highway. It's dangerous. Blah blah blah..
Jeez.. Give me a break.. 80kmp/h?? This ain't flintstone's mobil.
Whoooosh! wow... F%^&ing lorry... almost knocked me.. Gotta teach him a lesson..
Gear down, letz rumble. Vroooooooooom... i overtook him on the emergency lane... But my tyre ran through a pothole ...i can feel my car doing a 180 and the next thing in front of me was BDE 666, the lorry which i wanted to overtake. The headlights. They were bright. I could see the light.
I stared at the light. They were not bright. Quite dim actually. I always reminded her to change the bulbs but she never listens. I stood there staring at the lights, not knowing what to do next. I slowly gathered courage to look for her. There she was, in front of her pc.. as usual, staring at the monitor. I wanted to get close, but i was afraid she would be startled. So i stood there just watching. She ws so beautiful, she always has been, to me. Especially when she smiles. But i guess i won't be seeing that anymore. I was just enjoying the scene of her.
But sadly the Nokia tone interupted my moment. She turned back at grabbed her phone; suprised to see the number on the screen..
Click,
"Hello? Yes neina..."
There was a moment of silence.... then she screamed my name... she screamed so loud.. that it even shivered down my spine.. i stood on her doorway.. watching.. helpless....
Her parents, alarmed by her scream... ran into her room... and they ran through me..
Her mother held her and kept asking why.. but she could not answer as she was half unconscious.. all she kept saying was my name... Her father took the phone from her and after a few seconds... held his hand on his forhead.. and started wheeping as well... i wanted to cry too.. but i was numb.. i couldn't feel a thing..
And suddenly, i felt a tap on my shoulder. It was him. and i smiled..
"Hey Lu, never really thought it would be you". "Why? Where is HE?"
"Sorry son, you had it coming. You did all rite, but you never listened..."
"Sigh"... "Alright Lu, lets go."
As i turned around, the clock in her room struck 12. It was 12am...
I turned back, looked at her and smiled.. Happy that i kept my last promise to her, that i will be around by 12am.
