The taxi stopped
in front of me and I was shocked, nearly fainted and got conscious again.
“Thank God I am
still alive. How could you just simply stop in front of me?” The taxi driver
asked me to get into the taxi quickly but I insisted not to get in. He stepped
out of the taxi and carried me in from my position on the ground. How I was surprised
that he did that. He drove with high speed until we reached at McDonalds.
“I’m going to
get some food so you stay here.” I waited until he got into the building and I
rushed out of the car and took a bus. When I got into the bus, there was an
empty seat beside of an old lady who looked quite scary as she covered her head
and her face with a piece of batik cloth so I decided to stand up. Upon
reaching a bus stop the old lady stood beside me which had made me shiver.
“One has to die
in order to live,” the old lady said and she went off the bus leaving me with curiosity
plus goose bumps. On the road, I just kept thinking about the whole day.

It started this
morning when I was sleeping in the car until I woke up to the sounds of bullet
shots. Everyone around was running as if a meteorite had hit Earth. Not long
after that, I could hear sirens of an ambulance at the end of the road but it
could not move as there was a massive traffic congestion up ahead. The cars
were like honking at each other. I finally decided to step out of the car and
head towards the scene.
I was paralysed
with astonishment to see a 17-18 years old teenage girl lying deadly form on
the bare ground. Her clothes were soaked in blood and she had holes from the
bullet shots on her shirt. I got worried as there had been many murder cases
involving teenage girls lately. A little girl caught my eyes and I suddenly
remembered that I was late to pick up Kiko from kindergarten.
Upon arriving I
saw an ambulance park in front of the gate. I quickly went in feeling worried
again that something bad had happened. It was all dark and quiet. The place was
in a mess. ‘THUMP!’ I got hit at the back of my head and I could feel the blood
cascading. I tried to back away the pain and regain my energy when I heard
voices calling for Mommy. I went out of the building and I was just close to
get to the criminal but he got away with the ambulance.
Out of the blue,
a taxi came and I asked him to follow the ambulance. He drove as fast as
possible but we lost the ambulance at a corner. “I think we should get to the
hospital now as your injuries are bad.” I was about to answer but my eyes were
already shut.
I woke up
realising that I was at the hospital. I decided to run away and I did but
extremely the taxi driver stopped in front of me. It was then all of the drama
happened and then I met the old lady and now here I was in this bus. I decided
to get off the bus at the next bus stop to take a walk.
I made my way to
a lake and saw the reflection of the humongous disc dazzling on the water
surface. “Ahh! What a night!” Suddenly, the taxi driver surprised me from
behind.
“You know this
is just a small world. I’m Sudin and you?” He made me feel glad to see him at
the moment. It looked like I had to make the report on the next day and hoped
that Kiko was fine. The experience I had with Sudin when he helped me by
bringing me to the hospital would be planted in my mind forever.
