My parents went to M'sia by bus. And it was raining so heavily here.
I called them more than 20 times and no one picked up.
Calls into my house was exceptionally frequent this afternoon, but I didn't picked them up, thinking they're definitely lame calls from my parents' friends.
Then I suddenly recalled all the news about bus skidding off course in Msia causing casualties. Then my mind went blank. Sis is in Jap, Bro in US. I made them overseas calls, but neither picked it up. I tried to run through all the worse case scenerios im my mind, and failed to forced it to go to the other spectrum and think about everything positive. Nothing will happen, I told myself repeatedly.
I even had the urge to call my sergeant to tell him that I wanna wait for them to return and book in only tomorrow.
Just then, the phone finally got through.
My mother was speaking at the other end.
"Hello? My phone was in the bag, couldn't hear the ring, nothing's wrong, we're on the way back, don't worry."
I don't even have the strength to be angry with her.
I just told her to come home fast.
I can't imagne what will happen if things goes the way I've visualised and tried, to no avail, to prepare for.
What a scare. But think about it, I was just being paranoid. Trying to link up all the coincidents to form what I don't want to happen. Human brain is really stupid.
