The Bodyguard

This morning, I saw something which I’ve never seen before – while dropping off Imtiyaz at school.

A man got out of the car in front of me, dressed formally in shirt and trousers, with a walkie-talkie in hand. Then a child came out and walked straight to the school’s entrance with the guy following him/her close (I couldn’t see clearly because the walkie-talkie guy was blocking my view).

After making sure the child has entered the school safely, the man gave a thumbs up sign to the driver of the car, nodded his head a bit, got back in, and they drove off.

My first thought :

Anak sapa la tu?

Accident Scare

Last night, I was on the MRR2 on the way from my in-laws’ place to my mom’s. I stay at mom’s most of the time, whenever hubs away.

It was drizzling and naturally, the road was slippery. The car in front of me suddenly skidded at a slightly bent corner, and for a minute I thought the car managed to drive away unaffected.

But no, maybe the driver panicked, or maybe the car was small and couldn’t maintain its balance. It stopped and blocked almost half of the right lane. I was just glad I maintained my distance at that time, and the middle lane was clear which allowed me to straightaway swerve to the left.

I was thankful too Imtiyaz was strapped safely in his booster seat, and wasn’t asking for this and that at the time it happened. Or the situation could have been worse.

I thank Allah for keeping us safe last night.
