A strange meeting...

It has been a couple of weeks now since Bel had an encounter with that mystifyingly mesmerizing man. She still couldn't forget what transpired between them, how his face was very close to hers at one point in time that night.

Even through her busyness in college over the weeks, bits and parts of that incident kept flashing across her mind on a few occasions. Though she hadn't talked about it with Katie yet, for her own personal reasons; despite how much she had nagged her countless times already.

Being an understanding person, Katie did drop the act of inquiring about that night's ordeal. Giving her friend all the space she could possibly need.

Right now Bel was all energetic, awaiting anything that fate would throw her way; even through various schedules, she had a pleasant day at school. Her life revolves around her friends and gaining vital information regarding her field...

A couple of hours later, when the classes had come to an end. Bel accompanied with Katie left the college ground, boarding Katie cousin's car and heading for a studio.

Usually Katie's cousin worked at a renounced studio, where lots of celebrities could be seen. Either having a shoot or working on making one. Through his connection, Katie had seen lots of celebrities from all over the country.

Though the place was strictly off limits to anyone without reservation into entering, yet Katie was kinda different. First , she was a famous photographer's cousin.

Second he could have easily let her play as one of his camera crews... And lastly, he promised to make a shot of her whenever he became world wide famous.

Tapping at the steering wheel while humming a song , Katie kept a smile on her face; she had been buzzing all day long - anticipation bubbling inside her at how she would be having her picture taken by her famous photographing cousin.

They drove through the roads, taking the other route towards the outskirts of the city where 'Lite stadium ' was designated. Since the main road would cause them to arrive slightly late for the shoot.

" Umm , don't you think - the speed is a bit scary. "

Bel complained. Knowing how much the road has a notice sign at the very beginning which they passed a while ago. The notice was meant to sound a warning to anyone driving beyond a certain speed limit in the road, since the temperature around the forest seems to plummet much quicker than anywhere else in the city.

Causing fog like mist to appear on the road, towards night time. Currently, dusk was fast approaching; which made the atmosphere here slightly colder.

" Huh , I guess. I'm overly excited..." Katie reasoned, darting her eyes from the road in Bel's direction.

" HOLY SHIT.! ! ! "

' BOOM '

Those few minutes of taking her eyes off the road, caused Katie to miss the presence of another vehicle parked at the center of the road. She bumped into the vehicle, which caused the vehicle to accelerate forward; in the direction of the forest...

Stepping on the breaks, the girls panted heavily, with anxiousness slowly rising upon them. Feeling a sudden tension in the air even though they knew they were physically fine.

The first thing that popped up in their heads was about the car they bumped into.

What happened to the car they hit?

Besides, a car can't just be parked on the road without a rider.!

Or at least they hope so, if a life wasn't damaged; the property could be well compensated for.

Stepping out of the car, Bel and Katie gave a concerned look at each other before taking cautious steps towards the car; which had hit a tree by the side.

" Umm , hello... anyone inside? "

Knock... knock.! ! !

" Hello... "

Pulling at the door knob of the car, with a trembling hand; Katie hardened her resolve whilst Bel stood at the other side of the car.

The current condition of the car, as well as how expensive it was became absent from the girls worries; rather they were preoccupied. Thinking only about the possibility of a person being inside the car.

Katie opened the door slowly, her heart stuck in her throat; feeling the deafening sound of her heartbeat in her ears.

To their dismay, a man was inside. Resting his head on the steering wheel, with both hands resting on his laps like they had gone numb. His center parted mullet - covering his eyes, preventing the girls from seeing his expression clearly.

Right now the girls were visibly panicking, the anxious looks in their eyes showed how visibly worried they were, considering their current situation.

" Please , please , please , please , please... "

Katie prayed, creasing her brows while closing her eyes shut. She moved her hands towards his pulse, searching for any source of life in him.

" Sigh...! ! ! Fuck , he's alive."

Katie breathed out , a bit thankful. Lifting her head while staring at Bel who was across from her.

A couple of minutes later, they were at a hospital. Though not a very high- end one, still it was classy - much classy with updated medical facilities, and a superb atmosphere for attending to patients.

At various wards of the hospital, nurses were assigned to take care of each patient in need of their aid.

Right now Bel sat at a seat along the waiting area, waiting for Katie to return. Who had gone to get a call across to her cousin, to inform her about her absence from being able to go through with the shoot.

Soon she returned back to where Bel sat. Dropping her worried self onto the seat, while she kept her head down. The feeling of self blame was very high - since she saw it as her entire fault.

" Bel I'm sorry... I should've been a good listener.! "

Katie apologized. Knowing how much her friend had never truly loved causing trouble.

" Katie it's no use. "

Bel said in a flat tone, her eyes devoid of any emotions in them.

Currently they were already in a big shit, where one could say they had ' bitten the bullet.' Causing them to worry, like what if the man's family lodged a complaint against them?

Or rather the man does when he recovers?

These are questions which made them a bit worried , worried about what the outcomes of their few minutes of carelessness might be.

A nurse walked towards where they were seated, she was young; barely passing off in her mid twenties, with thin spectacle on.

" Huh... the patient wants to see you both. "

Walking away to attend to her other duties, she left them after delivering the message.

Without wasting anymore time, Bel accompanied by Katie walked into the ward; pushing the door open while they stepped in.

Slogging into the room with an apprehensive look on their faces, they kept their heads down whilst finding the right words to use in making an apology.

" Who got me hospitalized.? "
