Big Girls don't Cry

It was one fine evening. There is no sign of raining as the sun still covering the clouds. I was on my way to my car when my boss jokingly pretending to stick PKR sticker on my car. I just laugh and ignore him. As soon as I get into Miss Viva, I started the engine and switch on the aircond, searched for my sunglasses and ready to go home.

To my surprise, as soon as my car reach highway, rain started to pour. I don’t know why my heart felt strange. There is this anxious feeling inside my mind but I try to think positive. The meter showed 70/km ph. As usual, it was jammed.

Slowly I step on the break pedal as the car in front also slowing his car. I still remembered Hitz.fm is airing Lawson’s song, Standing in the Dark at the time. Suddenly,

BAAMMMM!!

“AHHHHH!” I shouted at the same time.

OH MY GOD. Someone hit my car!

I was totally in shock. I can’t even turn around! ‘Damn it. Whose dare hitting my car? I’m going to sue you!’ Well, those words are only heard inside me.

Then I saw a guy with his bike rushing and get off from the scene. And I know right from the moment HE’LL BE THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY! But all that I do is staring blankly at him, quietly shut my mouth and sit stupidly, still don’t know what to do. All that I can think of is switch on the double signal button.

I soon awake from my ‘shocked moment’ after I heard one loud honk at the back. I try to drive with my heart still pounding fast, recovering from this so called accident. I stopped at Donggongon and checked whether anything happen to my car.

OHMYGOD!!!!

There is a crack on the bumper and scratches is everywhere. No wonder the guy who got away was rushing to leave me and my broken car. He must be scared that I’ll ask for a compensation. (Yeah, I want too but my body is stupidly stiffed at that time).

So I called Berots but he’s not picking up. I try to calm down and think wisely. There is nothing I can do. Everything is already happen. And I should be grateful that despite the awful accident, I'm okay and nothing bad happen to me. So I take a deep breath and smile. Well I’m a big girl and big girls don’t cry OKAY.
