Vengeance

4. On the way

David!

What a character! he actually decided to go and meet Suzanne and tell her all the feelings he had for her. He was going to make the mistake he made three times already and yet he was dumb enough to go for the fourth time. Nevertheless , seeing the determination in him really gained my respect!

i mean look at him! Three rejections and still nothing goes into his pathetic little mind. He had to be either very dumb or extremely passionate about it. I was very sure that this was going to be yet another disappointment but like I said , the unexpected happened that very fine day.

He was already on the expressway when I called him. Seeing that I was the only one who knew about this, I really didn't have any other choice. It took my three tries before I could finally reach him. He was very contented about him going to tell Suzanne all about it but when he spoke , I knew that deep down inside him he was not ruling the very possibility that a rejection might be inevitable. As I spoke to him , his voice kept changing indicating high level of stress and tension .

The longer the period of time I was on the phone, the more anxious he was becoming . At that point of time the best thing I thought was to end the rather disappointing call.

So I spoke, ending the rather awkwardness over the phone "Bro, I do not whether what u are doing is right or not but bro whatever decision you make today, I have told you before and I am telling u again , I am there for you.

He just plainly replied," thanks dude!"

and then he hung up the phone.

That was the last i heard of him. The following week was the holidays so I had a long list of holidays planned and I was ready to kick start the holidays as I was really busy during the semesters. So the natural feeling was to not give or show any concern about him or anyone else in the world because all that was in my mind was the 16days 15nights package for a tour around Europe. I was all rapturous about this trip and I for once didn't care about anything or anyone else.

Two days passed and I just forgot about David and his trip all across Singapore to tell the girl of his dreams about what he feels for her. I just picked up my phone to call him when I received a call from his number. so i picked up and an unfamiliar voice echoed through his phone. The first thought that came to my mind is that he might have been kidnapped but that was impossible in Singapore so I finally gathered the courage to speak

"Who is this and where is David? Give him the phone! I want to speak to him."

The unfamiliar voice finally broke the silence," I'm sorry but I am afraid that you wouldn't be able to do that just yet."

Sensing this fright and rage within me, I screamed,"who the hell are you! Tell me!"

As the seconds flew by, I could only here silence and some distinct chatter in the background then another voice spoke, "Sir, we are calling from the hospital."

I was shocked. I didn't feel butterflies in my stomach. I felt dragons in my stomach. I expected everything else but the hospital. It felt like I had swallow something so huge that I now started to choke. Before I could say anything, the second voice, a more polite one indeed compared to the first voice that spoke said,

"Sir, we are calling from the National Hospital and your friend here had suffered severe injuries during an accident just two days ago."

As she went on and on, I couldn't focus on what she was saying. His parents were out of the country attending a seminar that was very crucial for their jobs and I don't think they wouldn't even heard of the news.

The lady, i presumed was one of the nurses continued," and Sir, ever since he regained consciousness in the morning, he has been asking for you. And fortunately we found you number and that is why we called you using his phone."

My immediate reaction was to just tell her I was on my way , and grab my cloths and just bolt out of the house. As i walked steadily, no actually I ran to my car, all I could think was how it had happened in the first place.

How?
