Girl’s Worst Fear…
No, NOT breaking up with boyfriend.
No, NOT spiders, NOT creepy-crawlies.
No, NOT getting pregnant before marriage.
Assault. It’s assault.
Roughly half an hour ago, I got home quite late after going on a ‘date’ with Leo-chan. Yes, I know I promised my mum I’d be home by 10.30pm, but instead I got home at 11.55pm. Let’s keep the lecture aside and get on with my story, shall we? =S
Anyway, I reached home (as in, right in front of my house) at 11.55pm. Just as I off-ed my engine and was about to get down from the car, I noticed this indian guy who was holding something that looked like an umbrella, walking really slowly behind, walking towards my car. Naturally I tensed up. All those warnings my mum had been brainwashing me all these years suddenly came ringing in my ears.
I immediately locked the car from the inside, and started calling my brother. Thankfully he wasn’t asleep, as I expected, and I told him to get his ass down immediately and switch on ALL the lights in my house. He started asking my all sorta questions, but I told him to shut up and do as I told. He must’ve sensed something in my tone, because he did what I told quite meekly.
However, the moment I took my eyes off that suspicious-looking-guy for a few seconds, he DISAPPEARED. As in, totally vanished. I was like "wtf?!" and started looking around at my surroundings. There’s my neighbour’s car in front of me, so I can’t really tell if he’s hiding in front of the car or anything, but that’s the only possible explanation for somebody who’s capable of vanishing in what.. 5 seconds? Anyway, that further frightened me, and I immediately disregarded the intention of getting down from my car. Instead, I started the engine, and moved my car into the house. Luckily, my dad’s usual spot was empty, since he had to take his car for repair.
Once inside, I quickly got down, closed the gate, and told my brother to come with me. We stood behind the gate and observed the surrounding area again. As expected, this guy appeared again. From where, I had no idea. All I noticed was he’s wearing a jacket, with one hand inside the pocket, and the other hand holding an umbrella. And this time, he’s walking the same way where he came from in the first place (the place where he walked towards my car). I quickly told my brother to get in the house, lock the door, and leave Tippy in the hall.
So, that’s what happened. Things I thought would never ever happen to me, almost happened. And I assure all the girls out there, it’s seriously scary being caught in a situation like that. One must always be alert at all times, ESPECIALLY when one is driving late at night, or getting out of the car late at night, without company. NEVER EVER DO THAT AGAIN. Always listen to your mum, and DON’T EVER go home later than 10.00pm!

Well, let’s make that 11.00pm.
Anyway, ALWAYS BE ALERT!!! For you never know what’s gonna happen to you. >=(
