That was what my friend commented when I told her this story. It happened last year. I always wanted to jot it down because this person is so remarkable, she made a deep impression on me.
That day, I went for my boy's PTM - Parent's Teacher's Meeting. After finishing , we rode home. It was less than 3 km drive. As I was another 1 km to my house, suddenly the car in front is 'stationary'. Gosh...I try as hard as possible to brake like orang gila. I braked till there is no room to press but 'BOOM', I hit the bumper of the nicely maintained Honda City.
This is the first time in my 20 years of driving that I hit someone's back. I felt so bad. Just a few weeks ago, I sent my car brake for repair. Korean...car ...please don't buy. Very nice design...after 7 years, things will start breaking down.
Her poor bumper kemek and the boot cannot closed. When she opened her boot, there were 2 neatly arranged boxes there. So clean somemore.
I apologise profusely. I know money to repair is one thing, but the inconvenience of sending it to repair is another. If my brake has been 'working as it should be', I would have "braked" in time.
I came out of the car, all prepared to be scolded. So frightened and guilty! But this lady, she is like an angel. She looked at her car, checked the damages, listen to my stupid brake story , kept calm throughout without raising her voice at all! I told her I will transfer the money to pay for the damages, so she said she will call her 'foremen' . They spoke a while and she said, the damages would cost RM700. She just mentioned that she would need time to send her car for repair. Told her to give me her account and I transfered the money first thing when I reached home.
What kind of human is that? That can keep her cool and calm in a stressful situation. I want to learn but I know I cannot. I would go balistic thinking of all the 'trouble' I need to go through.
So...that's why my friend said ' Lucky in a unlucky situation'.
Shortly after that , I sold off my car!!!!!!
