This story
is told by Jennifer who is one of Inti College graduates from KL. According to
Jennifer, this story is pretty well known amongst Inti folks there.
It is said
that a girl, known as Mary who stayed in Block P of student hostel committed suicide
by jumping from her room balcony. The girl’s roommate, Joyce was shopping at Petaling
Street then. When Joyce finally returned to the hostel at 4pm or so, another
student from the hostel rushed to Joyce and said:
“Oh my God
Joyce, you would not believe that Mary has committed suicide by jumping down
the balcony!”
Joyce just
took it easy and said in slumber manner:
“You must
be crazy! I saw Mary in Popular Bookshop at Petaling Street a few hours ago.”
The girl
was in complete darkness after she heard what Joyce told her. So she pulled Joyce
to the spot where Mary’s lifeless body lied. At that point, the police car and
ambulance were still there.
Joyce
immediately felt dizzy and fainted. Her friends propped her to a chair nearby
and a nurse accompanied the ambulance revived Joyce a few minutes later.
After Joyce
has calmed down, she said that she did invite Mary to shop together to pass
time. But Mary declined her offer. So Joyce had to go alone. At around 2pm or
so, Joyce suddenly saw Mary in the said bookshop.
Joyce was
pretty upset as she thought Mary didn’t want to befriend with her for some
reasons. Without any hesitation, Joyce walked towards Mary as she thought Mary
owed her an explanation.
As Joyce
was approaching Mary, something diverted Joyce’s attention and she turned her
head for a while. And when she resumed her peruse against Mary, Marry suddenly
nowhere to be found.
After some
frantic searching, Joyce still could not find Mary so she had to give up and
return herself. It was indeed a surprise to see Mary has ended her life in that
way…
Who was the
person Joyce saw in the bookshop then? Jennifer thrown this question to me… and
my best bet is that it is probably someone else as according to Tibetan Book Of
The Dead, a dead soul would sleep for 3~4 days before awakening; unless the ‘book’
is wrong of course!
