From the looks of it,I'm sure by now everyone is gonna think that I'v been writing about my love life and my heartbreaks.. Its not that simple tho,I may seem to be just like the typical teen who just discovered love than got my heart badly broken. The storyline might seems all too familiar to the readers. Unfortunately, its just different. Its just part of my journey in life that really serves it purpose in building up my character,my personality,my strength and above all,my patience..
Its been a week since Gary left. I'v been depressed. Can't eat,no mood to talk,skipped school and won't even go out to work. My neighbors and friends began to worry about me. I didn't hear the news of Gary,no phone calls nor visits. The sadness of the past years was could never be compared to what I'm facing now.. Sad...betrayed..... But then again,I felt blessed to be given friends that are caring and concern enough for me. It took them 1 whole week of persuasions before I even decided to get out of the house. Take some breather outside of my zone. To smile at the very least. They had treated me of my favorite nasi lemak that was sold at the hawker centre nearby. Even the uncle who cooks the nasi lemak was determined to see me back to my old self again. Slowly,I began to see and reakised what these nice people's intention was. They just cared a lot for me. After spending sometime at the hawker centre with my friends, We decided to head down to the nearest 7/11 that was at the area. I must admit tho,during those times,these 7/11 are never near or convenient enough. By this time,my emotions has almost returned back to normal. My friends convinced me to see the brighter side of life. I'm all smiles,all jokes and laughter... We even managed to pull a prank at the cashier during our visit at the 7/11.. My friends are indeed a bunch of gems that were sent by heaven..haha...
On our way back to the flat,as we were chatting and laughing we suddenly saw this taxi that was heading fast from the opposite direction. What shocked us was,even before the taxi managed to make a full halt,the passenger door at the back had already sprung opened. We stopped short,thinking that there might be ab accident that is about to take place right infront of our eyes...As the taxi stopped short right beside us, Farah (another friend of mine that was putting up at my place) emerged. With a trembling voice,she shouted " Lina,lina !! come quickly !! Get in the cab with me ! I need to fetch Gary's brother ! Gary had a fall !!" In a shocked state,I just got into the cab with her.Before the taxi left the scene,I over heard my friends concerned voice saying that they'd rush home to see the 'Fall' that Farah was talking about. Still in a state of shocked and daze,all I could hear from Farah is noises and occasionally hearing the word Fall over and over again. I couldn't help but to have worriedness building up in my heart.
We finally reached our destination. True enough,we found Mac and his friends at their usual place. Being a malay,back then I couldn't even understand an ounce of Tamil coming out of their mouth during conversations. But I do see worried and panicked building up in their faces as the convo was about to end. Suddenly everyone was rushing to be somewhere. They gave me a lift on one of the bikes and all was heading to my home. Upon reaching the entrance of my carpark,I noticed a couple of police cars already there and a huge crowd seems to be forming around something or someone at the carpark. I also saw my friends' worried and sad faces when they realised that I'v returned. I stepped down the bike to see a gruesome sight at the foot of my block... Its Gary !!!! Indeed he had a fall,a fatal one at that.. I was stunned speechless.. My body felt weak when I saw him already without any sign of breath coming out of him. All I see was blood flowing from his nose,mouth and ears. His eyes wide open and red. He might have had his intentions unfulfilled...I was petrified almost to collapsing. Lucky for me my friend was there to hold me tight. And the moment they made me sit,I just burst out crying. Reality suddenly hit me.. Gary is dead...and that's the last image of him that would forever be embedded in my memories of him....
