Happiness did not last long. I texted him to ‘get home safe’ and received no reply. I assumed he was just driving, so he didn’t have time to reply, so I waited. He still hadn’t replied by evening, so I texted to ask if he was okay. Still, no reply.

"At about 3.20am in the morning, the bus ran into the side roads and flipped over. My uncle sat in the middle, nearer to the lower deck of the bus. We believed this aided in his survival. But it wasn’t the case for many in the upper deck, he said. He shared with us that there were people in the back and front of him that did not make it as well."

Last year, he decided to take a bus ride on the fourth day after the 'Hell Gates' opened in August. It was almost a full bus of passengers. He even sent a selfie before he fell asleep to our group chat. Most of us didn't even see it till morning - it was 1.30am afterall.
