I’m sorry to say, this post doesn’t have many pictures… you’ll understand why when you reach the end of the road.
Last night, I was out with Kenny, Eyeris, Icyqueengoddess, Samantha (Wen Qi) and David for supper.
We finished supper at about 12.30AM and we decided to meet next at Sunway Pyramid, looking for a place to chill for a while before we decided to call it a night.
It was just about 1AM by the time I parked my car somewhere between the One Academy and Sunway Pyramid. I started walking across to meet Kenny and the rest at Sunway Pyramid. Samantha was with me. Pic: For those of you who forgot, Samantha is the pretty girl on the left.
We were chatting away just before we crossed the narrow one way street.
Naturally, I looked to my right to see if traffic was coming before we crossed. There was an old Honda Accord at the end of the street moving very very slowly so we decided that it was safe to cross the road.
We started walking, with Samantha on my left. Just as we took a few steps across the road I heard a loud engine roar to my right.
It was the Honda Accord and it was picking up speed so quickly it was obvious the driver was “flooring it”.
The Honda raced down the street towards us but a part of me thought he was going to slow down once he saw us crossing right in front of him.
He didn’t.
As the Honda got within a few meters of us I begin to realize that he wasn’t going to slow down, and even if he did at that point, he wouldn’t stop in time without hitting us.
I jumped out of the street and leaned towards a car parked on the other side of the road. Just as the palms of my hands felt the car I was leaning on, I felt the pressure of the Honda’s metallic body swift right behind me, missing me by an inch.
My heart sighed a second of relief until I heard a loud bang. I looked to my left in horror to see Samantha lying on the side of the road after being hit by the Honda.
Almost like a natural reaction I yelled
“FUCK!!! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!”
And I reached down to her looking to see if she was bleeding seriously anywhere on her body.
She was conscious and like a brave woman she was, she said
“No I’m okay.. don’t worry. Just feeling some pain on my thigh”.
I couldn’t believe that such a hard impact only resulted in some scratches and bruises on her body.
“Are you sure you don’t have anything broken?”
She nodded and she stood up just to prove it.
As she did that I looked to the left again to see the Honda that almost killed us.
It stopped further up in front to for a while with the driver probably looking in his rear mirror if he killed anyone.
After he saw me looking back at him, he sped off. I couldn’t see inside the car.
But a witness ran up to us with a mobile phone in her hand and said
“Ini nombor kereta dia! Pemandunya perempuan!”
(This is her car number! The driver was a woman)
As I took the number down in my phone, the helpful witness said
“Belakang ada Klinik 24 jam. Cepat bawa dia pegi doktor”.
I nodded and looked at Samantha who was standing up with the help of the 2nd witness who was much closer to us when the accident happened.
I asked Samantha “Can you walk?“
She said “Yes… I can..“
As she limped with me all the way to the 24 hour clinic just 3 minutes walk away.
The Indian doctor at the clinic was calm when we barged into his room. He told Samantha to sit down while he examined her.
8 long terrifying minutes later, the doctor concluded that Samantha really had no bones broken or anything, just a few scratches and bruises.
In his own words he said “She must be bionic woman”.
We thanked the doctor and left his room to wait for the medicine he subscribed her.
That was then I saw for the first time that night, Samantha breaking down in tears.
I put my arm around her and asked “What’s wrong?”.
She said “Nothing nothing…”
I leaned closer to her and asked
“Do you want to make a police report? I have the bitch’s number plate”.
She said “No need… nothing’s wrong with me.. don’t need to go through all the hassle”.
We sat down on the waiting room couch that night.
I was thinking
“FUCKING CRAZY DRIVER BITCH.. I REALLY WANT TO REPORT HER TO THE COPS!!!”
She was thinking “I’m glad we’re okay..”
