A successful celebrity-businesswoman emerged in the Philippines. A girl whom everyone in the country adores and worldwide acknowledged. Tracy Yamamoto, 21-years old born in Japan half-filipina and half-japanese. She's so successful but there's still one thing that makes her cry, her father's death.
"It's been 15 years since Papa died. I still remember how he saved me from being hit by the truck. If I only... If I only... stayed in the car as what Papa told me, then maybe... he is still alive."
"For the past 15 years, everyone kept saying "It's not your fault Tracy" but deep inside, I know they were blaming me for the death of Papa."
Every year, a day before her birthday, she remembers the tragic event. Ever since she reached the legal age, Tracy tries to drink a lot of alcohol. But after just one sip of, she is already drunk. She still blames herself as the reason why her father died.
A shiny red Lamborghini Huracan was parked just in front of the bar. Tracy unsteadily walks towards her car.
*Enters the car*
While trying to find her phone, her pouch fell down and spilled its contents.
*Coins fall onto the car seat*
"Oh, these are the coins given by Grandpa. I thought I already lost it."
"These coins that Grandpa gave me were fake. Wishing coins? It doesn't even work! If these are real, then let me see an angel on my freaking birthday!"
"Hahaha... what am I doing. I'm not a kid anymore. What am I even doing?"
"I don't deserve to live. It feels like I'm the one who's dead for the past 15 years. I want to-".
Tracy was teary-eyed driving at the bridge. The bridge where her father died.
*Cellphone rings*
"Hello Mom?"
>"Where are you Tracy? It's almost your birthday! You need to be present in your birthday party!"<
"Me... I am... crossing the bridge where Papa died".
>"Are you drunk? Tracy you know you're weak with alcohol. Stay where you are and I'll be there."<
"Okay mom, I love you ... very ... much."
*Call ended*
"12:45 pm... The sun's really blazing so hot today."
*Low gas notification tone*
"Oh great! Now I'm out of gas. If I remember correctly, there was a gas station I just passed before crossing the bridge. Let's go! Hahaha"
*Car drifts*
* Tires screeching and smoking as she makes a sharp turn*
"Haha! That was awesome! But I shouldn't do it again. It's quite dangerous."
-At the gas station-
>>"Good afternoon ma'am...ms."<< gasoline boy greeted cheerfully.
"Ma'am Ms? Nevermind, full tank please."
>>"Ma'am, I mean Ms, you smells like alcohol. I think you should stop driving until you're-"<<
"No thanks, I'll be fine."
>>"Here's your change and receipt Ms. Have a good day."<<
*Her Lamborghini Huracan screecheing her wheels before speeding out the gas station.*
Tracy left the gas station when it suddenly rained heavily. The skies we're completely covered by dark clouds.
>>"I already told her to stop driving. I've done my job."<<
*The gasoline Boy vanished as the rain pours heavily.*
"It was so hot just a few seconds ago, now it's raining hard?!"
*Pushes the button to close the roof but it didn't work.*
"Oh great! Now I'm wet. At least I'm not intoxicated anymore."
"The road's foggy. I can't see clearly."
*Cellphone rings*
Tracy tried to reach the phone while driving but the phone fall under the seat beside.
"My luck sucks today!"
*Unfastens the seatbelt*
Tracy tried to reach her phone again even she couldn't see the road. And when she finally got her phone... Tracy saw a little girl wearing a raincoat chasing her pink ball was in her way. Her dad saw Tracy's car approaching fast and he chases her daughter.
She will hit her. She will really hit her or her dad. Tracy brakes her car but she was driving so fast and the car isn't slowing down at all. The rain made the road slippery.
Tracy must choose who she must avoid to hit.
The little girl or the man chasing her.
She remember what happened 15 years ago and how it feels to lost a dad.
Tracy made a difficult decision. She's turning her car to the other lane.
*Tires screeches as she turn her car to the other empty lane*
"Please! please! please save them!"
*Bang!*
Her car crushed the plastic center barriers. But the car still didn't stopped there, she hit the concrete of the lighting post which flipped her car throwing her in the air out from her car.
"Dad, I'm going to meet you finally."
-01:10 pm-
*Cellphone sang Happy birthday to you*
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you-
"This is the end..."
She closed her eyes and smiled. But Tracy felt a warmth touching her lips. As she opens her eyes, she saw an angel and their lips are touching each other's lips. For the first time, she feels she is in safe hands.
Tracy just closed her eyes again as if it was just a dream.
