Old Morris Minor Car
“….recognized the distinctive colour & the make of the old
Morris Minor car but it suddenly sped off…. could it be haunted??”
Ariffin & Kim Meng are only best friends in school but are
neighbours. Kim Meng stays a just the
street away Ariffin was always around that Kim Meng’s family considered him as
part of the family. Kim Meng’s mother was always warm and caring and his
siblings were a laugh a minute. The laughter and the tears together will last a
lifetime.
As for Kim Meng’s father was a strict and quiet person and it
would be great compliment if Ariffin got a ‘grunt’ as acknowledge from him. As
for Kim Meng’s father the pride and joy
other than his immediate family is his car.
He drives a ‘vintage’ Morris Minor and without fail when he gets back
home, he will wash his car.

Over time Ariffin found a job and settled down in Kuala
Lumpur. On day Ariffin got a call from
Kim Meng saying that his father has passed away. Kim Meng was a bit surprised
that his childhood friend wanted to pay his respect to Kim Meng’s father with
Kim Meng saying that it was unnecessary. Ariffin was adamant and he applied to
take leave from his company and drove all the way back to their hometown.
After the funeral, it night time and Ariffin was driving
back to Kuala Lumpur. He noticed there was a “old” car in front of him …. it
was the Morris Minor the exact model that & make Kim Meng’s father had.
