8 months ago, I was experiencing my nearly-death-accident. It was on February, 8th ...Friday noon. I was bringing Sonia to Segamat EON Service Center for her major service as she have reached her 60,000 of mileage. It was a major service actually. Hey Sonia, you are growing too fast! ;p
Daddy asked me to take Sonia for her service on Thursday morning, he worried there will be not enough time to settle this matter on Friday. "The earlier the better" daddy said.
(coz according to the plan, I'll drive back to KL on Friday noon and meet NSK there to buy my convo's shoes, baju kurung, and whatsoever). But due to my laziness I reluctantly bring Sonia. I believe there will be enough time on Friday. Aye, Friday morning. There will be not so many people queuing their car for services plus, it's working day right? Most of 'em who own a car is to be sure there are working! So I think, Friday morning is the best opt to go for.
The next day
(Friday) I woke up a bit late -
as usual - I was in a lil bit rushing but managed to reach Service Center at 9.15am. And I was a bit out of mood because I have a lil fight with NSK. We all gaduh malam tadi because I was supposedly get ready for KL, but I was here --- ........okay, NSK afraid that I couldn't reached KL by 2pm. We have our date. He'll accompanying me to find my convo stuff + the make up too. Okayyyy my fault. =,=
But hey sayang, trust me! I am soon to meet you at least before 4pm! I promised.
IDK what is the matter but it is already 11.30am and Sonia is still in the waiting area!! Just so you know I was out of mood, this matter is just increasing my anger level. I walked down towards the registration counter and asked one of the staff "Bila nak buat JMC tu, saya tengah rushing ni, in fact I have made an appointment yesterday, so it wouldn't take so long kan?". But you know what? The staff replied to me, arrogantly "Maaflah ye cik, tapi JMC tu major service. Kita utamakan yang minor service dulu sebab tak ambil masa yang lama". I was like, apakah? My anger level is out of control. I yelled at him and said "Kalau ada 10 kereta yang queue untuk minor service pagi ni, habes tu yang major service kena tunggu berapa tahun lagi??! Buat JMC sekarang otherwise you'll be in trouble!!"
It is a true story. I am not lying. The staff is the one that registered Sonia this morning and he said the service will take approximately less than 2hours than now when I asked him how long it will take. Hmmmm, surprisingly he quickly asked the mechanic to service my car. Pheww tak sia-sia gua tengking dia tadi.
Just only at 12.45pm, all the service matter done. After paying the bills, I quickly started Sonia's engine and drove home. In my mind, I need to go back home as fast as possible - pack my things - KL - and etc.
To reach home in a short time, I opt to drive through Terkam which only takes less than 45minutes to reach home. Otherwise, another option is to drive through Labis and this will takes more than 45minutes to reach home. Remember, the less time to reach home the better. So, I choose Terkam.
Most of you will cannot imagine how it will be so I dah buat benda ni hope you can draw a better imagination now. This is serious. ;)
So, better imagination now babe? hehehe I took 20 minutes to complete this draw weyh. Dummy skills =.="
Back to the story, since I choose to travel via Terkam, I need to turn left at the junction. There were no traffic light at the junction so I need to have some guts to make a turn when the road is quite clear. Naaa, it was a busy road! Since it is Friday, and since it is the main road, so I have no choice. Okay, if I want to travel via Labis, I need to turn left -- so there will be no problem kan?
I am waiting for the right time and I was there were about 4 cars waiting at the back to make their turn. On my left hand side road --> clear. On my right right hand side road --> there was a slow lorry (very slow) and a Wira sedan followed behind the lorry. ...and there was a car too, farrrr behind the Wira.. Ok, bare this situation in mind guys.
As the lorry moving too slow, and about 50-60meter than me, I think.. okay, this is the right time. Go Ain, Go! By right I was TURNING RIGHT, I saw a car...It is Waja, speeding all the way to overtake the slow lorry...........and bang!!!
..................................................
.....................................
....
Everything was white. After I heard the bang sound, all I can feel is the car spinning on the center of the road. Twice. Everything became in slow motion. By this time, all I can think is - my family, and NSK. I closed my eyes. The tears coming outta my eyes. Goodbye world. Yeah, I am about to die. I can feel it!
Ya, everything is so fast! When the airbag was deflating, I started to realize what had just happened.
I do remember the hit as well. Everything happened so fast, in the blink of an eye.
But, the car is moving!! and I saw some smoke came out from the engine. I guess this car will explode. I am not ready to die. I need to come out from Sonia ASAP! This car is moving towards the junction that we were before I made a turn. No no no there is no way to come out because I can't open the door. It was stuck! I went to the back seat. Trying to open the door and ya, I can't open the door. Help me!! I was shouting for help while crying and at the same time, Sonia hit the street lamp, and...the car stop moving.
But I am still struggling to get out from the car. Nak mampos ke, kereta dah keluar asap nak meletup, I need to survive! After a few seconds, only I realized there were A LOT of peoples already surrounded Sonia. I heard someone shouted at me "Rilex rilex! Keluar belah sini, belah sini takde pape!!" and I was like, oh ya..there is another door on the left side. hehe
Pheww. I am still alive. But I was totally numb. For a few minutes, I only cried. Everybody there is kinda stranger to me. I cried and I cried and I cried while saying; esok nak konvo....macam mana ni...nanti ayah marah.....huwaaaa cont. crying.
Everybody is very helpful. They tried to calm me down and asked me to inform my family member. I told them, taknakkk nanti ayah marah. Ya, I can imagine how daddy will get mad about this. So I opt not to call daddy. One of the pakcik cakap; awak ni anak Razak ke? -after saw Sonia's plate number. "Takpe pakcik tolong call ayah awak". I took my cell phone and call mommy. "Ibu...angah accident.." and I started to cry again. Like a baby. Mom was like .."Ha? kat mana? angahhh patutlah ibu rasa tak sedap hati!! bagitahu ayah ke belom? Me: Taknakkkk nanti ayah marah... hehe..itu je lah ayat I, nanti ayah marah. Daddy is garang, I takut.
After mommy, I called NSK..He said "Hy sayang, dah habis merajuk ke?" hmmphh hampeh. I told him I was involving in an accident and he think that I lied him. But after he heard I was crying all the way like a baby and sound like I am afraid some more, he started to get panic. "Hey sayang u tak main2 ke? Ya Allahhh...sayang,u okay ke tak?injured mana2 ke?" Something like that, same like what mommy asked me.
After a while, daddy call me. I answered daddy's call "Angah awak kat mana? Accident kat mana? Tunggu situ sampai ayah datang, jangan buat ape2..." Pheww, daddy is cool. Ok, wait for daddy. One of the kindhearted people advised me not to left my important stuff behind and don't left the car. He said someone might take your belongings when you left your car.
Somehow, I can see there was soooo many people stop by and witnesses me - the cry baby - and asking me whether I am ok or not. I can feel my hand and legs is hurting. There were 2 tow truck lending their service to toe Sonia, but I said I am waiting for my dad, no thanks.
After a meanwhile, the police officer arrived. I can see the car is moving slow to see the accident. This is Malaysian attitude. Such a bad habit. hehehe causing the traffic gridlock some more. :p
It started to rain. Hujan renyai-renyai. Daddy arrived, he came out from his car and I can saw the police officer walked towards daddy and shaking hand. Daddy gave me an umbrella asked me to get all the stuff/ belonging from Sonia and move to daddy's car. I saw some Apek is figuring out Sonia's plate number nak beli nombor kot?! While many of them capturing Sonia's picture. Oh btw, I managed to capture Sonia picture too!
That is Sonia. Pity Sonia. :( I was told that I am lucky. I am actually more than lucky. Many of them believe, based on the car condition, I will at least have some cuts or to be worst, die. I keep silent. I am trauma. I don't even know how to responds, how to speak, or how to react.
After some discussion with the police officer, daddy took me to the hospital worrying about my condition. Sebab daddy tanya; dada ada sakit tak? Kepala? Sakit kat mana? I said, "dada tak sakit, kepala tak sakit, tapi kaki and tangan ni perit sangat". Daddy have a look at my hand, dia pelik. I started to cry because it really hurt. I swear, it's really hurt/perit/pedih/berdenyut-denyut.
We did the X-Ray and luckily I didn't broke any part of the body. After that, daddy brought me to traffic station, I made a police report and I got a summon and was issued to have a court session on April. I was all silent. I still in my numb mode. Sebab I dapat saman? Sebab katanya, I tak bagi laluan kepada kenderaan. Polis tu kata, apapun yang dekat simpang jugak salah sebab tak bagi laluan. I was like, eh..tapi mana ada kenderaan kat jalan besar boleh potong dekat jalan yang ada 2 line???
Daddy cool je, tak nampak gaya macam nak marah. The police officer yang issue summon dekat I tu some more told daddy. "Takpe, benda dah jadi, yang penting anak selamat. Kereta takde nyawa tapi boleh ganti, anak ni mana nak ganti?" ...pheww! Maybe his advised would tone down daddy anger? Perhaps.
When we were walking out the station, urghh daddy got his phone call. His friend call him and asked him to have a cup of tea. We went to a stall, baru tahu rupanya itu ketua polis daerah segamat. ahaks, there, he asked me how laa I boleh accident. I story from A-Z. Satu pon tak tinggal! ;p
So and so and so, we went home. Daddy started to silent. Err, his silent scared me and I guess the volcano will explode soon.....very soon......in 3.....2.........1...
Daddy: Habes tu konvo awak camne?
Me: Entahlah,,
Daddy: Pergi ke tak?
Me: Hmm nak pergi, lagipon dah bayar.
Daddy: ......senyap sampailah sampai kat rumah.
Mommy was waiting me at home patiently and when I entered the door, mommy was like Syukurlah kau selamat. I started to cry again, the tears is some more came out like very fast. Daddy started to nag. I ran into my room, calling my one and only brother at Japan. I told him along,aku accident...tapi ni ayah marah-marah, kalau aku mati terus tadi, senang cite...kau agak dia marah tak kalau aku mati?
Along sangat terkejut, he calm me down, how can I involved in the accident, teruk ke tak bla bla bla....I said, ok I'll uploading the photo to FB now, wah FB terus. Kau hado?
.......and I heard daddy nagged+angry and mommy jadi pendengar yang setia and as usual, trying to calm daddy down. The last word that I could ever heard from daddy's mouth is......esok takpayah pergi KONVO!
You heard that?? No convo. Daddy left the house and I don't know where he went to. I came out from my room and hug mommy, I said kalau angah mati tadi pon takpe kot, takde la things get worse now. Ayah macam tak sayang angah je, kenapa? Patutnya dia gembira la anak dia selamat..ni tak, nak marah je. --like seriously I feel demotivated. Somehow I wish daddy will calm me and hug me and thank to Allah I am still alive. But there is no way I could feel it. :(
I asked mommy, esok convo camne? Ayah taknak pergi...Mommy said, it's ok dear I will make sure we will go there tomorrow, if daddy taknak ikut tu dia punya pasal, yang penting dalam pukul 4pagi kita semua dah siap.
Pity NSK who have reached KL earlier. We supposedly kat OU now, hunting for my convo black shoes + baju kurung + tudung. I thank Allah for having NSK as my boyfriend because he willingly search and buy a pair of black shoes for me, understanding my condition for not able to find a time to go out anymore.
Hmmm, did I shared to you my convocation journey? Haha okay, will do in the next entry. Do you still remember that my hand and legs sangat sakit perit pedih tu? Aye, tangan I jadi mengelembung rasa pedih, it is getting bigger from day to day! I swear it is really hurt. I believe this is the impact form the airbag. Kaki lebam-lebam, impact from the hit kot? Entahlah but guys, you should see my hand. In fact it was getting more hurt from day to day, it became scarier too!
Can you see my hand? It swollen. But this is only a day after the accident happened. After a week, the airbag impact getting more bigger, and of course, more sakit gained.
Look. I can't bare with this hurt anymore. This picture is taken by NSK when we had our dinner at Damansara Damai, NSK cakap the painkillers doesn't work. We need something to cool it, your skin macam terbakar! Kesian you sayang, esok I bawak pergi clinic. Why tomorrow? Because it's late already, 12.30am plus we planned for a foot massage at downtown. hehehehe
During the massage session, one of the customer noticed my swollen hand and asked me why, as usual I rewind back the accident story. HAHA! she is really kind, she suggested to go for a gamat gel as it is cool and she tried it before and it's work! I asked her the brand the price where I can get it bla bla bla, and surprisingly pakcik urut tolong carikan! haha yeayy dapat dah.
Betul cakap kakak tu, memang nyaman. I'd see some changes on my hand, the water inside the gelembung tu, makin surut, from that sakit part to this horror part:
taraa! scary tak tangan I? This is after 10 days from the accident. This is on February 14th, we went back to NSK hometown and went to Zoo Taiping. haha takde keje. But ok dah, tak sakit cuma looks ugly je.
This is on July. After 5months from the accident incident. The skin is to grow.
Sonia pon dah sembuh with total repair of 38k, and insurans dapat claim only 19k. Atok ada cakap, kadang-kadang ada yang menutup hijab pandangan kita, sebab tu tak nampak, lagi pulak hari Jumaat, tengah hari pulak tu -- I don't heard about this but will google on it.
Apepun, Alhamdulillah I am still alive, and thanked Allah for every beat of my heart. Alhamdulillah.
