this is too hard to write... i have to say this is one of the most unforgettable episodes of my life.
the bf and i traveled last wednesday. it would have been just our usual trip, but it wasn't. the bf had to bring a vehicle part back to manila to get a new one. the bf also arranged to bring a mechanic home with us so he can fix the SUV. the mechanic had previously come to fix another vehicle almost a year ago and the bf knew he was good. they agreed that he would drive the other vehicle home. so by wednesday night, we headed for home. the first leg of the trip was fine, so was the second one. on the third trip, the mechanic was acting weird. he complained of not being able to hear properly. that was the last leg of the travel for home and we were only four hours away. he didn't drive fast enough and we were afraid he was having problems with the vehicle. we stopped twice to wait for him. during the third stop, he said he couldn't drive anymore. so the bf asked if i would drive. luckily, the vehicle has an automatic transmission so it was okay with me.
so we went back on the road, me leading the way. after about thirty minutes, the bf stopped and honked at me. i stopped about ten meters away and waited for him to go near me. he called out and i ran to his vehicle. there i saw that the mechanic was suffering a seizure. i thought he was epileptic but didn't look to me that way. the thought that came to my mind was that he was sinasaniban. i don't know why but he was really out of it. so i told the bf that we'd take him to the hospital. there he was given oxygen and had to undergo tests. the tests were rushed and when they came in, everything was normal. the doctor attributed it to overfatigue. so we left and headed for home.
about twenty minutes into the drive, the bf stopped and i saw the mechanic acting weird again. that happened for about ten times. by then, i was freaked out and creeped out to the bones. the unfortunate part was that my vehicle's airconditioning gave out. i had to open the windows because it was stifling hot. because i was getting scared, i didn't want to but had no choice. did i mention we were travelling at night? we were in the mountainous area at 12 midnight and i was scared out of my pants. plus, i had mistakenly stopped and surprised a sleeping couple. their vehicle was the same color that the bf was driving. i was wondering why they stopped and turned off the light. i was afraid something fatal had happened. so i opened the door and saw a stranger. i apologized profusely and left.
the trip that would have taken only four hours took six. by the time we got to the inn and got him a room, it was 2 am already. we left him there to go home. at 6:30 am, the bf called me and said he got the mechanic was still acting up sporadically and he had decided to let him fly back to manila. the staff at the inn called an ambulance because he had hit his head during another seizure. so i purchased his ticket and he took the 9.15 flight. the bf heaved a huge sigh of relief when he had gone.
apparently, he wasn't fetched from the airport and someone took him to the hospital instead. the mechanic's brother in law kept on calling the bf, supposedly asking for money. but the bf had already given him money before he left. as of today, he has now returned home and is back to normal supposedly.
the bf and i can't imagine what on earth happened to him during our trip. my sister said he probably was possessed by demons or something. i myself cannot make head or tails of that incident. i told the bf not to take anyone with us on our travels anymore for fear of even more misfortunes. it's not something i want to happen ever again.
