I had just knocked off from work the other day, looking forward to meet a friend of mine in regards to my business at Woodlands. But before that, I'd to send her home first as she was on the same shift as I was. While I was packing up, I received a call, it was her, and she spoke in a hastily manner, angry, and upset at the same time.
When I asked what happened, she said that her sister had been involved in an accident. A bicycle accident to be exact, and that her hands were so badly hurt that she was afraid to go home and meet her parents.

Her sister claimed that she was out earlier, with a guy friend of hers to East Coast Park to have a bicycle ride.
Thing about this guy is that he rides a motorcycle. So we couldn't rule out the fact that he ferries her from one point to another.
When we reached the void deck of her place, there they were, and from far all I could make out the extent of their injuries. Their hands and legs were bloodied all over. Part of her nails, were almost chipped out. The skin on his right forearm was torn off. Raw,meat could be seen. Literally.
First thing my fiance` did was to shout at the guy:
"How did you bring the bicycle huh??Look what you did to my sister now?"- in Malay.
He just had his head down, without saying anything. Angry upon seeing that her sister was in tears and for the fact the the wound had been opened for almost three hours, I put my feelings aside, kept my calm and told both of them to get in the car while I drove them to the nearest hospital.
"It's okaylah, you guys carry on, I'll head back home"-he implied.
By then she had already taken her sister to the car to sit her in.
"No, are in no manner to ride yr motorcycle or go anywhere on your own, let me drive you"
He then replied;
"Err... nolah, its okay, I'll take a cab on my own, I'll meet you guys there"
His insisted requests of going on his own was what made me angry, and his fickle mindedness of not able to make a decision on where to go made me even more fired up.

He's a police officer by the way.

That was when I told him off;
"You'd better get in the damn car right now, first and foremost, you are the cause of this accident, two,you had already abandoned your responsibility to take her to the nearest hospital to get her treated, but instead you came here, and let that wound opened to infection for the past three hours. And NOW, you are telling me you want to leave the shit you caused to me by just leaving? Where is your fucking responsibility?"-I asked in a raised voice.

Silence.

I could feel that many eyes were on us from the neighboring units of the flat.

Call it stupidity, embarrassment, or pure sua`koo-ness. I told him to get in the car. Which he did with his head drooped down.

It couldn't occur to me that my previous statement made me concur that of his intelligence or maturity when the whole time waiting for treatment in the hospital, he seemed to be more traumatic than her sister. Even when her father reached, he just muttered things that were simply stupid to him.

Instead of apologizing to the father, he mentioned that it was 7 in the evening and that it was a stroke of bad luck that they met. Just say sorry goddammit -.-

By the time I reached home, it was already around 12 midnight. I received a call when I was about to sleep, surprised that it was a message from that guy. He wanted to meet up with me below my void deck to explain certain things. I agreed to it, and set a time up.

The conversation really was a startling one. Simply put it; he had lied basically everything about himself to her sister. Lied to her parents and to everyone he met in the family. And I had no idea why he decided to open up to me.

I wont reveal much in here as I know that there are some from the family that read this, and this is not the way to break the news to them. But I did told him that, he had already jeopardized the whole situation by not guaranteeing her safety, and to further add to his misery, he couldn't explain of his actions.

"You don't have to lie to a person to start a relationship. Once you start lying, you either stick to that lie throughout or you back out. Because once they know that you're not the person they think you are.. they don't know you. And suddenly you're a total stranger to them."

-those were my words to him. Ironically, those were the words of a certain friend of mine long ago to me.
