Chapter 1 - ACCIDENT

In the dark and cold room , there was Ella sitting on her bed while curling herself up with the warm and cozy white blanket.

It was the best feeling that she could feel after such a long and tiring day.

As she were to open her laptop as usual , a notification suddenly appear on the phone.

Ella look into it and saw a comment from one of her reader.

Reading the comment enlightened her .

Even if the comment were just a few sentences, yet it still manage to warm her little heart.

That's it, that is the only reason why she is still into writing novel even though life hits hard. All Ella wanted is recognition and attention from someone who will truly understand her feelings and accept her for who she was.

As the spring came, Ella turn 25 this year and as someone who love to stay in the room all of the time, she is currently jobless as hell.

Ella didn't even have any talents to begin with and all she know is some shit that can't be use in real life.

Even though, Ella manage to survive by herself for this year but she still can't escape from the nonstoping nagging from her tiger mother.

'Sighhh'

If it's not because of her mom , Ella will never step out from her room willingly .

'Krinnggggggggg....kringggggg...kringgg'

The sound of the alarm startled her.

'Urghhh'

Ella opening her eyes slowly.

The room was filled with the light of sunshine that came's through the gap of the curtains .

Ella tilt her head towards the clock and shut it off before it annoys her any longer.

That means she have about an hour left before her part time job.

Ella sit on her bed and start with a little stretch before getting up.

She snatch the blue towel in the closet and began to walk into the bathroom to shower.

One last touch of the lip balm and she is ready to go .

Today, Ella just wear a simple blue t-shirts and a nice black tight jeans to match with it.

'Klik' the door shut

While walking to the bus stop, Ella turn on her music playlist to start her day.

🎵🎶

'Hmmmmm...hmmm...hmmm..hmm'

5 minutes pass and the bus came.

After entered, Ella goes to the last sit on the bus and sit beside the window at the left side because watching the peaceful morning view has been one of her favourite routines.

The view which some of them are running so fast like they were late to their work, some teenager are playing and there was even a couple's who hold their hands together while walking happily.

Her eyes followed them until they were gone and suddenly

'Dup' It's beating

She shut her eyes tightly and wait for 2 minutes before moving her hand to her thigh.

As Ella was going to pinch her thigh , a scream stopping her.

Ella look in the direction of the voice but in the moments of second , she can slearly see a frightened face of a woman and all of those who sit beside her .

They were trying to stand up and walk away quickly as if it can help them getting out from the bus before the truck crashes us directly.

'BOOMMMMMM!!!!!!'

Time slow down and Ella can see it clearly.

The moment when the windows shattered and people flying towards to the outside from inside of the bus.

'PAKK!!'

Her eyes glued to the woman that are laying beside him who face cannot be recognized because it has been pierced with a big sharp metal.

The blood from her head constantly flowing.

Ella froze

Not knowing what to do .

She only put her jacket to cover the dead face , while trying to cover it up , her hand shake very heavily because it was her first time to see someone dead in front oh her.

Ella took a glance to the kid and saw that the child has been hug by a grandma.

Her old wrinkle hand softly patting his head as a sign of comfort.

"shhh its okay child"

came through her mouth

Her eyes began to shrink and a warm tear gather at the corner of her eyes .

But a scream so loud manage to hold back the grandma tears from dropping.

It was a scream from outside .

And a group of people talking so loudly can be heard.
