OH. MY. GOD.

I lost my newly bought, truly loved 'NEW MOON' book. I shall begin my story and describe to you the theory on how I lost my beloved book.

I finished 'TWILIGHT' and I loved it to the core. I couldn't stand to wait another day for Lailee to pass me the second book 'NEW MOON'. So I went ahead to buy one for myself. And I can hardly tear myself away from it.

I've been driving to work last couple of days (post-purchase of book). So when I get to the car, there's the car key on one hand, the bag on the other shoulder, and the book on the other hand. And when I open the car door, sometimes the lot is squeezy with other cars next to mine, so sometimes I'm struggling just to get in the driver's seat. To help myself, I'd put the book on top of the car's roof, temporarily, while I dump everything else onto the passenger seat. I did that twice on different days. The first time a stranger at the carpark kindly told me I've left a book on the car. The second time just before driving off, I remembered I left my book on top of the car, so I got it back in.

Have you any inkling of an idea now on how I lost my book?

Today, after work, the same thing happened. I put the book on top of the car while I shoved two bags into the back seat. And this time, I really, truly, stupidly, forgot about the book I left on the car's roof. When I got home, I couldn't find it in the car and a flashback of the book on the car made me groan. With a heavy heart, I locked the car and went home.

I messaged Juwita cuz I gave her a ride home. She's so helpful and went to call work to see if someone can help me find the book at the carpark at work. Lailee went but there was no sign of the book.

I keep wondering where the book could have flown off; the expressway, the traffic junctions, at the carpark with all the humps and slopes, maybe? And it made me cringe when I imagined what the other fellow road users might have thought when they saw a book on top of my car. How embarrassing. I got horned twice while driving just now, and I wonder if maybe it wasn't because of my reckless driving but because there was a book of the hit movie 'NEW MOON' perched precariously on the roof of my car. And I just felt so miserable when I think of how close I was to the end of the book, I was just at the exciting part where Bella is flying off to see Edward before he gets the Volturi to kill him. ARGH!! How could I have been so careless?! Who would have thought such a person like me existed? You only see them on TV. Gosh. I'm such an airhead.

And then Kevin called me. He wondered if I'd dropped a book. Hope rekindled in me when I thought maybe he found it in the carpark when he left after me. But it diminished when he said he saw it outside of the carpark, on the main road, getting run over by passing cars. The picture he described was so heartbreaking that if anyone saw my expression, they can safely guess the emotions I felt. From excitement and full of hope in my wide eyes and smile, to the sudden drop of all muscles on my face that is misery. I could almost cry. There's a sudden emptiness felt as I imagined my heart drooping.

But, there is no way I'm going to let the story hang like that. I'm going to get another book by today. In fact, I'm going to purchase all four books of the Twilight series. I'm going to get clear plastic to wrap my books so that I wouldn't have to worry of dog-eared pages when I put the book in my bag, the next time I get to my car.

Laugh at/with me.
