That Saturday Evening

I have been super busy juggling my job and my social life lately. I don't have much time for creative writing anymore. It has been a month since I last updated my blog. I am tired most of the time, not to mention pretty numbed by the workload. The other day, while I was walking on the overhead bridge, I saw a woman sitting on the railing of the bridge. She stared at me and I stared at her. Then, I just moved on. Can you believe this?

Then, suddenly, a visual past through my mind like an indie short film, depicting the woman jumping off the bridge and hit by a car. It was like a hit on my head, I immediately turned back and asked a guy to pull her down from the railing. Phew..... Yes, She was trying to commit suicide and I happened to walk past. If you believe in God, you know this is not a coincidence. There was a Christian guy; stopping by to tell her that Jesus loves her because she was/ is/ was is a Christian, a lost sheep? This is not a coincidence.

Then, there was this Muslim woman trying to console her. I didn't know what to say to her. She was heart broken in a relationship. I told her that we care about her and God loves her. That was a Saturday evening, I just came back from a local pilot project that took place in Muar, Johor......bitten by sand flies all over my arms and feet..... I was tired and numbed ..... And a woman was trying to commit suicide...
