I stepped out of the house two days ago and i took the company's car to do few things that needed to be done. Everything went well and i was heading back to work with excitement and a sense of fulfilment. As i was about to take the turn to my office from the express, i just heard a loud bang from the base of the car. A truck hit me from the back and didn't even have the decency to wait up. He fled.

I stood on that same spot, motionless. I don't know what to feel; anger, cry? Nothing. I didn't even know it was so bad. I left the place and kept driving and from the reactions i saw from passers by and people close to our office, i knew something bad must have been the case.

I got to work, i dropped, only then did i see the dented car to the left, at the back. I noticed the back windshield has been broken to pieces with nothing to salvage and the back light totally gone. Then reality set in and i started calculating how much it would cost me to fix it. I was filled with sadness. Thinking what could i have done better and i started thinking what if i had done things better. Maybe used the next junction? I shouldn't have answered them to take the car out? So many ifs but i lost focus on what was important; gratitude.

A lot of people who saw me when it happened came to office to explain better. They all said "We thank God for life", while i was busy focusing on my pocket. ALL of them were thankful for life, then gradually it started dawning on me too.

I was determined to get it fixed asap, so the next day, i took someone along to get the materials needed to fix it. I got someone to fix the dented part on a cheap. I got the light on a cheap too. I was blessed enough to see only the windshield, where under normal circumstances you would have to buy the whole booth. A lot of people were scared i won't be able to get these items quickly because the car is not that common, so it is expected that the parts would be scarce.

I blocked out all those "Scarcity", i just prayed that morning and told God i want it fixed that day and i will enjoy speed, and that was what happened. I got everything on a cheap and it was fast too. I got them so fast even we started looking for the person to fix them, because the guy felt it would take us longer.

Thank you for your time.

My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.

Still me,

My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.
