Chapter 3: Half way to the truth

To start again this no finish line contest of walking, the guy is now crossing the road. Adhy was about to follow the guy but she accidentally noticed the young girl also crossing the road.  Then suddenly a fast moving blue car is heading the way of the young girl. Adhy has no time to contemplate this time. The first thing that comes to her mind was to save the girl for whatever cost. She hurried up with all her might just like a strong wind blows that pushes the young girl to save her life. The head light of the car went through her eyes. She closed her eyes as she knew that this could be her end. Suddenly she couldn’t explain what is happening. She felt like the car went throughout her body as she remained standing. She feel the cold wind went through her body and immediately a flashback happens.

FLASHBACK:

June 17, 1988 after her first day in school that also happened to be her 18th birthday. She was walking so fast crossing the road and because she was pre occupied that time she did not noticed the blue car that was coming through her way. The car was running so fast that even the one that was driving also hasn’t notice someone was crossing the road. When the car was so close the driver tried his best to stop the car but it was too late. BANGGGGG... Adhy was hit by the car and she fall down unconsciously then suddenly her heart stopped beating.

      A tear falls down from her right eye, she merely can’t believe this. She touched her body and embraced it tight, she felt so cold and helpless at this moment. The young girl she saved caught her attention, she’s still crying while setting on the road. She saw the guy she was following a while ago helping the girl to stand up and called a taxi to bring them to the hospital. Unconsciously Adhy entered the car and sit beside the crying girl. “You’ll be fine.” The guy consoles the young girl. She’s still out of her senses and still at the middle of confusion. She still can’t get over from the harsh revelation that was revealed.

The driver was techie, there was a portable TV on the taxi where Adhy saw the date of the day. “June 17, 2013.” She gape, another sets of tears fall from her eyes. It’s been 25 years, 25 years that she doesn’t even know that she died in a car accident. She goes back to what had happened today. First, the guy who hit her does not apologize. Why he should apologize if he wasn’t hit anyone. In their first subject where she greeted her professor who doesn’t answer back but just smiled because there was a student behind her who was also entering the room. When she was raising her hand at the recitations, none of her professors gave her the chance to recite because nobody sees her. Irene hasn’t attended their first class as Irene attended college 25 years ago. Everything around her had change and she felt so strange. Now, she realized the truth and found the answers to her long list of wonderings. But still there is one thing that still bothering her. While looking at the guy setting beside the taxi driver her heart repeatedly asks who is this guy? Why there is something that pushed her to follow this man? What is his connection with her life when in fact she already died more than two decades ago. She could not help to wonder why the guy looked back when she accidentally mentioned the name of someone like he actually heard what she said. On that moment Adhy wanted to stay to find out who is this mysterious guy that became the instrument for her to know the devastating truth.
