Pieces of me………

It had been raining heavily for 3 hours, finally the rain stopped and i sent Iris back. The weather was cold and nice, I decided to wind down the windows and take the longer route back home. Dora asked me why, I just wanted to enjoy the cold gentle breeze as I drove along the quiet road that was always busy and polluted during the day.

I passed by Fiona’s college, was about to turn left when BAANNGGGG! the car jerked. My heart sank. Knowing the quality of my old proton saga, I was expecting to see the back of my car badly damaged. I got off the car, wanting to scream at the other driver when I saw his car. It was smashed, the front lights of his car was smashed into pieces, the front portion was badly dented, I turned to look at my own car and realised that it was still very much in one piece. For a while, I was surprised and impressed with my own car.

Never involved in an accident before, i was not sure of my next move.

Him: "Sorry lah ah moi, aku tak sengaja."

Me: "So macam mana sekarang?" ( inside: I look that chinese meh? )

Him: " You ambil nombor I lah, lepas lu ketuk balik lu punya kereta, saya bayar balik"

Me: "Betul ke ni?" (could I trust him?)

Him: " Aku kerja kat UPM, u ingat nombor kereta I lah, miscall saya sekarang lah, gua tak tipu lu punya."

So i took down his number and let him go. Honestly speaking, i really did not know what was the right thing to do. It was midnight, both Dora and I were not properly dressed, we were in our house coat, it was raining and i did not want to ask for trouble….besides, i sort of felt sorry for him because his car was so badly damaged.

This morning, I checked on my car, the damage was not that bad, the bumper was abit dented and the shattered glass pieces from his car cut into my car. I went to the workshop to ask for a quotation and it was around RM 80 to get the car mended.

I will call him later to sort things out, hopefully, he will pay for the damage. =)

i guess i will think twice again next time before taking the longer route back home, but then again, i guess i should thank God that the accident was a minor one….and yeah I love my old WCN 2708!
