Please come home, Briq!

Yesterday night, right after we buried Wheee!! (the injured bird that I took care for 2 days and at last it died), hubby was hanging out at the porch drinking Milo and having a smoke. I was inside the house watching TV. Suddenly I heard hubby shouting something and a loud thud. I went out and saw a car stopped in front of the house and the driver went out to check something. And then hubby told him, "That is my cat!". I was still puzzled. Hubby mumbled something and he looked panic.

He asked me to get the keys to the gate and kept saying something which I didn't understand. At last, I managed to get it out from him. He said that Briq chased after another cat and dashed across the road. The other cat reached the other side of the road but Briq was in the middle of the road at that time. And at the same time, there was a black Viva and he refused to see what happened next. But then, he saw Briq fled off and he was gone! Briq was hit by the car and then he fled.

We looked around the estate a few times but no sign of Briq. I was still positive about it cos I told hubby, if he was injured, he won't be able to run away. But hubby was worried he might have some internal injuries and suffered somewhere. I thought about that but I still pin some hope that he is alright.

This morning, Briq was not at the door. He was not even within the vicinity of the house. My hope that he is alright is weakening. It's already 6pm now, nearly 24hrs after the incident, and he is still not home. I am beginning to lose hope. After talking to my hubby just now, I broke down and cried. He is one of the first cats that came to this house. And he is my hubby's favourite! Hubby is very very sad about it. Briq will be the one waiting for him outside the toilet when he is having his shower. Briq will be the one sleeping in between his legs at night. Briq will be the one to keep quiet once hubby comes out of the toilet or else he will keep on making noise till he comes out. Usually hubby will be the one to console me, but it seems it's my turn now.

Please God, let him be alright and please ask him to come back home. We are very worried about him.

We miss you, Briq!
