Surreal..

It was already an hour past heavy traffic hours, but cars were moving rather slowly that day. It took forever for the traffic light to turn green. I was deep into thoughts, sitting behind my wheels; when I was awaken by this impatient guy on a motorcycle, vrooming away. Then I realised he was probably annoyed that there weren’t any space for him to squeeze in his bike.

With heavy hands, I swung my red Suzuki steering to the side and looked up with “you-may-go-now-look” on my face. He winked at me; before speeding his bike away. He was the first person to put a smile on my face that day. He caught me by surprise. Smile. And for the record, he was actually cute. Smile.

Immediately, I straightened my posture, placed both my hands on the steering wheel, and was excitedly looking at the light turning green when I heard the noise. It was a loud bang noise; made my stomach cringe.

Cars started moving slower than before, than I saw a group of people crowding right in front. Being extremely curious, I drove as slowly as possible looking out my car window. Then my heart went crashing. That guy; the same guy who winked at me a few second ago was lying flat on the road while a Samaritan hammering is heart. It was just like the scene I watched in Grey’s Anatomy. Waking up from what seemed like a dream, I realised, a police car from the opposite direction have rammed into the bike.

Damn. Why must life be so uncertain? One minute, a stranger out of the blue makes you smile. Next minute, he’s lying on the ground fighting for his life.

This is still surreal to me. I wonder if he made it. I said a prayer for him before I went to sleep last night. Sigh.

P/S: Does this sound like a story? I want to write a book someday, so I am trying. But no, this isn't a strory. It happened just yesterday.
