A transit in Jugiong
Have you ever felt that you suddenly out of breath because of an abrupt unfamiliar feeling that crept inside your heart? Your eyes started to stare at an empty space by instinct, the corners of your eyes started to trace that empty space from left to right and vice versa. Still … all you can found is emptiness with a tinge of coldness. There is/are something out there that frightened you but you don’t know what; it is unseen by your eyes but your instinct tell you the opposite and you know that you can trust it like you always do in years.
You felt that it is the beginning of something unknown. You look back and try to find the solace in your friends’ eyes. But anxiety and doubt are all that you can found; although he have gone through this kind of things so many times. Then and there you realize that you’re instinct was right because you have seen that look in his eyes before. Never had he explained to you what it is - but you knew that the cold feelings that you had whenever he had that look had sumtin to do with it.
Dreading for the unknown you ask the companion of your friend although you knew it wouldn’t get rid of whatever it is. Jokes that use to summons hysterical laughter suddenly turned sour, but you still try to offer a slight smile out of your lips and try not to look to your front because what is unknown has creeping more and more inside your heart.
You told your friend to go in reverse but there’s no way else then to do a u-turn. Still you insist, despite all the obvious impossibility because you knew … you just knew. But what is impossible is still impossible. As he does the u-turn you felt helpless and frightened like a little child, you closed your eyes hoping that when you opened them you will wake up in your bed and this is all only a nightmare.
But its not … and it made you startled for the rest of the nite…

I suddenly remember this experience from my road trip 3 years ago with my friends; Mr. Ice cream cone, Idio and Beruang Cupu”. Who would knew that a trip that started with sumtin so horrific could turned into one of the most memorable and unforgettable moment of my life? Never had I ever experienced moments like those again in my life… BTW this all happened in a town called Jugiong which located on the Hume Highway, NSW. Out of curiosity, years later I searched the net for some info on the town and it turned out that the city does have some history ...
