I used to work until very late at night everytime. Because I fear more of humans than of ghosts, I would speed as fast as possible so I could reach home in the most minimal time with less worries of what would have happened on the road. You know, those stories you hear of people trailing your car or “accidently” crash into your car only to get your attention. At one rate, I finally did get caught by the traffic police at the Sg Besi Highway. They stopped me and told me that they have taken pictures of me speeding along the highway which somehow would cause me a fine. I obliged but only with the proof that I was really speeding.
A few weeks passed and finally the police contacted me. They told me that I could get the pictures that they have taken at the police station and told me to drop by that very evening. Curious with the commotion, I went. To my surprise, I was questioned by the police officer who was the driver behind my car and pointed to me a photograph of a little girl smiling at the camera sitting on the driver’s seat, the very seat that I was sitting on at that time. Nevertheless, I was fined and given a good warning about putting a child on my lap while I was driving. It never occured to me that something was wrong because I was very sure that there was probably something wrong with the camera at that time.
After that photograph incident, I continued to speed back home. However, this time, things were slightly different. Each time I passed by the Sg Besi Highway, I would see a child waiting by the road side. It never occured to me that she was the supernatural sort because I was so preoccupied with getting back home. One day, curiosity got a better hold of me. I slowed down my car to see the little girl and to my shock, she was the same girl that I saw on the photograph a few weeks ago at the police station. Goosebumps ran through my spine as I hit the pedal and passed the smiling little girl.
The next day, the same girl was standing by the road side. This time, she waved for me. Fearing for her safety, I stopped just to check. I got out of my car and walked closer towards her. As she got out from the bushes, I could see her frozen smile and only did I realize that perhaps there was something really wrong with her. Then all of a sudden, she pointed towards another direction. I looked at the direction she was pointing at and at that time, a car crashed into a stalled lorry. When I looked back at the little girl, she disappeared. It seemed to me that she might have saved my life for if it was not because she stopped me, I would have probably been the one who would have crashed into the stalled lorry.
However, things were never the same for me again. I’ve always felt that I was being followed and I could see the little girl from the corners of my eye. When I turned to look clearly, there was no one there. This went on until the day I gave birth to my baby girl. I did seek for help from a medium before which told me this girl was looking after me and for that, she was following me around hoping to get back something in return. Perhaps it was a second chance to life.
