I just woke up. I want to write about my dream. I dreamt that KL wanted to kill me….
KL got to know this 2 other guys, Tim and Erik. They introduced him to the sinister world of drugs. This was set in Australia. He became addicted to drugs and it affected his studies. He missed his exams and failed his final year in school - he can’t graduate. Not only he ran out of money for his drug habits, he started to be guilty for not returning home with a degree. He was guilty towards his family, his parents especially. He need to finish his last year and return home.
He borrowed money from the drug lords for school fees and drug and in return, he had to work for him. His team included his Tim and Erik and together they peddle drugs to small-time street drug peddles who sell drugs to teens. KL became more guilty. I started to get worried in Singapore as I couldn’t reach him for weeks. With his family and mine encouragement, I left Singapore and work to Australia in search of him. It has been a long one month search for him in school, apartment (landlord told me he no longer live there) and all his favourite hangout. Walking along the streets one day, I overheard a street peddler mentioning KL’s name. I followed him to a dark alley and spotted a rundown, skinnier KL. I immediately knew it was him. I confronted him and went back to his place. He now live with Tim and Erik. In his room, I saw books from the library and notes from school. He still goes to school. I knew nothing of his lifestyle at that time but I became suspicious.
After about nearly living with him for about a month in his small crappy room, my suspicion became stronger. I hailed a cab and followed their car. They went to the drug lord’s place and I pressed my ears against the window to hear the conversation. I began to realised what he was doing. I was caught by drug lord’s people. Drug lord gave KL a ultimatum - to silence me once and for all.
I demanded an explanation. KL told me everything and then said he was sorry. But he owed drug lord money and he needed to work to pay back. KL was crying, he didn’t know what to do. I told KL, I’m pregnant with his child. KL decided to escape with me. Drug lord let the word out to find us. Tim and Erik knowing us, was hot on our tails. We went into hiding at Tim’s old abandon flat. Tim came to the flat one day and instead of killing us, he gave us money and air tickets to Singapore.
And, I woke up with the alarm clock….
