On Wednesday the 13th , 2 weeks ago, I was on the way back home from class.
Class ended at 6 hence the self explanatory traffic jam I experienced on the Federal Highway approaching Subang.
The traffic was slow moving, in fact it was hardly moving at all.
My leg , as usual would be stepping on the break, and slowing releasing it at times where I could move a little.
Then my phone rang, I wanted to answer it but didn't manage to.
It my my sister and I decided to send her a message in case there was anything urgent.
Typed the message and realized I was low on credit, so decided not to send.
I then decided to turn on something from the phone.
Just as I was about to do so, there was a thud, a shocked moment and then realization.
I hit into the car in front of me.
I subconsciously let go of the break, I think.
The best thing was, I hit into a Toyota Land Cruiser, A 4 wheel drive, it was only
a light touch/kiss, but because the car i hit was so solid that there was a loud thud.
I realized that the car only had 2 scratches, hence a sigh of relief(not really), thinking that my car had nothing wrong as well.
Boy was i wrong!
Despite the massive jam, we managed to pull both our cars over to settle the issue.
I took a look at my car, crap! I t was cracked, the whole front part above the bumper went down and in, and the bonnet could not close properly, hence the "door " light was on.
It was quite predictable as her car cost approximately RM 200,000 while mine only cost Rm 5, 000.
*I'm not sure whether this was the exact model, it was in silver though.*
I knew it was my fault, hence the only thing to do was apologize, exchange numbers and hope for the best.
The thing was, the lady was extremely nice, despite the fact that she was extremely rich, by the car and the mannerism. She even started talking to me about college and driving. She said there's a scratch, and I pointed out that I was aware that it had to be repainted, and she said :" My Car very expensive wan you know"
So anyway, long long story short, my dad went to settle it on Saturday, and God's favour was really upon me as:
*She invited them(my parents) to her house to drink tea etc.
*started talking to them and had no rush whatsoever to settle the car.
*said she told her mom in law that maybe they(she and my parents) could become friends even.
*invited all of us over for CNY
*took the car to the mechanic, the mechanic first tried to polish the car to reduce the scratch marks, but it was still a bit visible.
*she decided to not respray and said it was fine so I didn't have to pay a thing.
Praise God indeed, yet another miracle He can perform.
I however am upset that I can no longer say I'm accident free.
*Note that I AM a good driver and I never had an accident despite driving however fast, this accident was not determined by one's skills of driving, I was purely distracted.
And another miracle, my results.
My AS results was released on Monday
Bio- A
Chem- A
Physics- A
Math - A
Praise God, really really only by His grace that I could get this result, especially for physics when I drew the wrong graph.
No matter how many times I thank You, I can never thank You enough, but Thank You Jesus!
I now pray for a good breakdown that I do not have to repeat anything.
