It occured around 2 years back. As usual every Thursday, we would gather at Harun Gym (the one at Bandar) to play ball. We would start around 7 pm and finish at around 9+ pm. As you know, the only free parking spots in Bandar are those by-the-building-side-parkings, so in order to save a little, I'd usually circle a few rounds in search of a free spot before going up to the not-free parking lot above the bus station.
Hah.. On this fateful Thursday, I found an empty spot that evening. It was about 2 buildings away, heh.. but I don't mind walking far lah.. Can be a minor warm-up before playing too. So why not?
At 9++ pm, playing time over. Time to head back. Packed, said farewell to the dudes, rode the elevator to the bottom. Then oopz,, I realised my car is 2 blocks away. Walao! Tired already leh..
Hmm.. 2 ways:
1. Longer route. By the road, got streetlights some more.
2. Shorter route. The closest route would be to walk through the dark lorong between buildings.
I took the second route. Wah.. great choice!
Into the darkness..
Walk walk walk.. Hmm.. After a few strides, I looked up.
"Wow", I said to myself. Mcm ada figure walking in this lorong too.
Walking towards my direction kua. I was wearing contacts, thus can't see clearly. Looks like lady eh. High heels, sleeveless shirt some more. What the heck is she doing here ? Should be really dangerous leh, lady.
I looked back to the ground ahead, and something popped in my head. "Eh, the frame of the chabo a lil' weird leh.. Her shoulders seems broad leh.. " So I raised my head up to look in that direction again.
"Oh F**k!", not a girl ah! Walao!
Shyt! I quickly avoided direct eye contact, scared the he-she would think that I'm interested. Choi!
Looked up quickly again! Wah! Really F**k! I realised now that the he-she is heading straight to my direction ah! On-course collision!
I shifted my direction a lil' bit. Wa heck, he-she also shift. Shit!
At this moment, I knew it was inevitable.
I picked up my walking speed. I was really afraid lah.. That he-she was of a bigger frame than me! Me and that he-she in a dark lorong. Distance out of lorong : More than half of lorong left. Who knows what the heck the he-she would do to me! Ahh!
Few more steps, the he-she really closed down. My heart was racing super fast. I just looked forward at the ground and paced forward.
Then the moment, the he-she was right in front of me.
Out from the he-she mouth "Hi, I LOVE YOU" and that gali look.
In my heart, "What the f**K!". I tried to act as calm as possible, and gave the "F**k off" facial expression to the he-she and walk past the he-she and continued at a "Im-busy-dude" pace. I knew that appearing scared or intimidated, would prompt the he-she to disturb me further.
So that was what I did, hoping that he-she would not follow me to my car.
Walk, walk, walk.. Still I dare not turn.
Tried to detect whether there were footsteps from behind.
Hmm.. don't think so.
Still I did not have the courage to look back until I was out of the lorong. Phew.. that he-she was nowhere in sight.
But not sure too lah.. To be safe.. Quick to the car!
Once in the car, haha.. the first thing I did was to lock all my doors..
Start engine, sped off..
That was one of my most scariest moments in my life. I really don't know what to do if that he-she really followed me that night. It was Bandar at night, all the shops close sudah. Me alone. Friends already jalan. Dark lorong where you couldn't see anything clearly. Lucky me.
Moral of the story: Never walk in dark lorongs alone.
LOL.. The end!
PS: Just in case, lorong = alley in English
