Mr Frogs... Mr Owl...

Sunday, November 15, 2009

Feeling lonely, I cycle my way back home into the gloomy night... the rain had just stopped so the road was dense and wet... I could hear bullfrogs croaking, asking for more rain... No, Mr. Frogs... not now... not until I reach home... An owl passed by up above the dark sky... it's white feathers were contrasting to the night sky so I could see it clearly soaring above me, searching for prey... Mr. Owl... you're giving me the creeps...

The road was empty... and I felt very lonely... I wished there are vehicles passing by indicating that I was not alone after all... but none came...

Then, it went even more silent as the frogs stopped their singing... Mr. Frogs, given up already? hehe...

"mengapa senyum seorang diri?"

My heart seemed to stop for a few seconds as all of a sudden, a beautiful voice struck my ears... Automatically, I glanced back and forth, searching for the owner of such soft and lovely voice... Crap... no one's here... that could not be good...

Enough with this thinking of poetry words describing this scene... I gotta go fast... Cycle!! Cycle Fahmi!! Cycle!!

And there it was... up ahead in front of me... About 10 meters away... A woman in white staring at me with a smile... Should I turn back?? Should I go straight??

I went straight... Dumb decision... Even dumber? I took a glance at 'her' as I passed by... Like an owl, 'she' turned her head 360 degrees... if this is a horror movie, then this would be only the beginning of the haunting... maybe 'she' would follow me home... What could be worse? She's may be hitchhiking my bike...

Allahuakbar... Allahuakbar...

Cis Fahmi... time susah baru kau nak ingat tuhan kan?

The worse thing I could ever think of was 'she' brushing my hair with her hands while I was cycling as fast as 60 km/h...

No Fahmi, you have to be optimistic... Maybe she was just an illusion... I hit the brakes and turned back to take another glance at 'her'... and all I could see was Mr. Owl...
