i haven't had decent sleep in two nights and i'm still awake right now. i was travelling with the bf a couple of days ago and this always happens. anyway, i just want to share what happened last night on our way home.
the bf and i were in separate vehicles. he drove the pick up while i drove the utility vehicle we purchased for my uncle. we were about four hours away from home and i had to drive a stick shift. now, i'm an automatic kind of girl. i may have learned to drive a vehicle using the stick but i've been driving a/t for a while now. since it was only the two of us on this trip, i had no choice. the bf wanted me to drive his truck but i didn't want anything to happen to it. hahaha!
about two hours away of traveling, we were passing the area where there are threats of NPAs and dangerous bandits. i am usually scared when we pass here, especially at night. the place is actually in and around the mountain with twisting and curving roads. but since i was driving, i had no choice. i was just mastering the art of driving a stick and hoping not to get in any accident. the bf led and i was behind. i saw a man lying in the middle of the road, looking up at me. beside him was like a pool of blood. we encountered two trucks going in the opposite direction and i don't know if they were the culprits. the bf didn't stop so i didn't stop as well. but up to now, i can still envision the man's face staring at me, as if seeking help. luckily, i saw a group of four people walking towards him so i was relieved knowing someone could attend to him.
we didn't stop because we were completely heartless. it's just the area was not safe. it could have been a trap. that happened to us a few years back. the road was actually covered with rocks and tree branches. if they were waiting for us to stop then, too bad. the bf just proceeded, hitting the obstruction. i believe it's better to be safe than sorry, given the history.
we stopped about 20 kilometers from where the man was and the bf teased me that i was the one who hit him. i said of course not, but i admit i was shaken up. oh well, chalk it up to experience yet again.
