It was happened three years ago. That was an incredible experience that I couldn’t forget in my life. I remembered that I was assigned by my company to go for a meeting in Johor. On the way back to my hometown, Selangor, I passed a shortcut road named Jalan Malaikat. It was so strange that the lights on the road are all spoilt and there are no cars passing by. Suddenly, my car started to become slow and slower. Eventually, the car stopped. I felt a bit nervous because that was the first time that I stuck on the road. I tried to restart the car but it seemed doesn’t work. I opened the door and went in front of the car. I opened the hood and checked the engine and others as well. I felt strange because everything were in good condition. I slowly shut the bonnet and got back to my seat. I did not know what could I do except waiting for any pass by vehicle.
All of a sudden, I saw a “hope light” was coming towards me here. Thanks god, it was a car! It was a tiny white “Kancil”. Without any hesitation, I tried to stop the car by waving my hands. The car parked in front of my car and there was a couple inside. I heard a woman’s voice that kept nagging the guy not to help as they were running out of time for an event. But lastly, a guy looks helpful came out from the car. It seemed that the guy had ignored her. I was so happy that I was given a hope that my car could be “revive” by his help. I smiled to him as a thanks. When he looked at me, his facial expression changed. He looked like scare of me and quickly drove his car away. There was a lot of questioner marks floating in my mind. “Is there something wrong with my face”?” Or I looked like a murderer”? I was totally freaking out.
“Argghhh….”, I started to feel burden. There was nothing I could do except waiting for next vehicle. Fortunately, an express bus was coming. I waved my hands again to stop the bus. Thanks god that the bus stopped. A guy with a weird appearance stepped out from the bus. He was wearing a big, black jacket. He walked toward my car and asked me what was happening. I explained to him and he seemed know what went wrong in my car. He asked for a torchlight from me. I quickly went inside my car and took the torchlight to him. He seemed had repaired my car and asked me to try to start the car again. The first few seconds, the car still can’t be started. He checked again and I tried again. It worked! I felt so excited and I would like to thanks him that time. But right after he put down the hood, he looked at me. From a cool face changed to a fearful face, he stared on me. He looked pale just like the previous guy. It seemed that there was something at my passenger seat. I turned my head to the back seat and I found nothing there. When I turned my head back, he was disappeared and the bus drove away.
The questioner marks floated in my mind again. Am I really “the murderer of the day”? That was really strange. Being confusely, i continued my journey back to hometown.......cont...
