sunday 11 dec... ^_^;!

I’ll try updating faster alrite.. er.. next BIG thing is my granma’s bdae… till Sunday, I was already DECIDING myself tat I’ll be wearing the gown worn once for my cousin’s bdae last july.. I asked the tailor to shorten it.. but on Sunday, one of my relative *nia’s mum* offered her second daughter’s dress….

After church.. me, mum n siblings intended to go for a brunch.. when our driver was going to go across the road, I saw one motorcycle n made the driver stopped… Unfortunately, the car was ‘too far out’ that the motorcyclist couldn’t break in time as he too was driving fast… but he managed to skid sideways before he reached our car.. his body was ‘thrown’ sideways n gave a little thud when it knocked on ur car.. all of us in the car were frozen.. our driver also got a shock that he didn’t dare to go down..

As the motorcyclist was helped by passersby, we could see that he was conscious and that he wasn’t hurt so bad.. my driver still insisted tat it was the motorcyclist’s fault n that he didn’t want to go down.. but my mum prevented any of us from going down in fear of the ‘helpers’ whom all were native Indonesians.. *they could have found faults in us, which might make things more difficult*.. Finally our driver went down talked for a while, n came back to us saying that the ‘victim’ also admitted tat it was his fault too.. but he wanted to go to hospital to get his injured leg examined..

While he was hauled up to the car, we deduced that he was fine, except for his leg which *he said* cant be bent… as we drove him to hospital, my mum’s face was pale and couldn’t stop from tsk-ing, frowning n sighing.. the ‘victim’ called his fren n his wife.. saying that he sprained his ankle n going to hospital.. There, I felt that this guy is quite fair.. he didn’t make things BIGGER than wad it was… Then we started conversing.. mum told him we were going home from church, he –unexpectedly- said he also just came back from church, in a rush to attend his fren’s funeral in the same hospital we’re heading.. *phew..*

At the hospital, 2 of his frenz awaited us.. as we were waiting for him to get examined, his fren asked for my mum’s particular *which should have been the driver..* but im sure the fren aint stupid to know that driver dun hav anything if things happen to his fren.. O_o’! *something I learnt from business law, that employee’s fault must be paid by employers.. but lucky enough, that law doesn’t apply in indo :p* his fren appeared to be a nice guy .. Talking with respect and steady voices… we found out that the victim and his frens are full time army guys.. *this is kinda scary.. becos army in indo is quite powerful when they’v decided to squeeze you alive*

After waiting for around 2 hrs, his fren called me and said that it was nothing BIG.. *AMEN..* that the xray shows that it wasn’t a great injury either.. my mum went to the cashier, going to pay for the xray fee, when victim’s wife came beside her n said ‘never mind.. I’ll pay..’ my mum went dumbstruck… ‘EH?’ hehe…. But in the end, mum paid for the examination.. while the wife would pay for the medication.. we went back to his ‘cabin’ to say goodbye n goodluq n sorry.. n OFF we went…

Eniweiz.. all is pronounced to be FINE.. Carried on with our own stuff.. *I went waxing again :p*… n be jolly..

But…

Monday morning, while al my relatives came to my house to wish granma happy bdae, someone called….

It was the guy who talked to us while the victim got examined.. he told mum that victim came to work in cranes *is it cranes? Or wad?* still couldn’t work.. *we wanted to say a big D.U.H! it was the NEXT day only.. O_o’! not even 24 hours yet!* but wad could we do? This kind of things happen in indo.. they’d say loadza things but the main thing is MONEY.. he said that victim needs help for medication blabalbla..

Mum said she’d go n visit him.. but that guy couldn’t give victim’s exact address n asked mum to come to his office while promising that his men would take her to victim’s house.. mum said she’d visit on tuesday..

Everyone said she shouldn’t go to the office.. on tuesday, me n secretaries waited for the phone call.. n finally I was the one who answered it.. asked for victim’s phone number, n after mum called him, he was surprised that she had his number… O_o’ then while mum said that the other guy called, victim sounded surprised too, but nevertheless, asked mum to come to his house to have a CHAT… So? It’s his fren who wanted the money… but apparently victim played along too, right? Saying he’d want to have a CHAT.. wad does a CHAT means in this situation?

The next day, mum n dad went to victim’s house, ready to be played under their thumbs… but who knows.. the victim didn’t ask for money.. instead, ‘teaching’ mum how to react in situation like that…. He said that we should have gone down to see how he was when that accident happened…. He also said that though for us, Chinese, quite difficult to make decisions when things like this happen.. go down, u know that everything will be made more complicated by everyone… dun go down, the victim will ‘hate’ you.. O_o’.. he also said that maybe this is how God works for us to know each other… n that wad he wants is everyone to live in harmony *sobz2..*… my mum went home impressed by his words…

That other guy didn’t call back till now.. ^_^ thx for reading the drama.. ahha… it was THAT drama though… rili.. we were quite confused.. I was already preparing my own lies that im a unemployed grad n that im working at my relative’s shop O_o’ wekekeke… next entry I would write on granma’s bdae.. :p
