Thanks to the feeling called....................Humanity

I was very small when this incident happened with me and although,I don't remember much things of my childhood but this incident is like carved deep in my mind.I was 6 yrs. old then and it was the time when my summer vacations were going on.My late maternal grandma lived hardly 2 kilometers from my home.Like every child, I went to stay there during that time.My mausi(s) had also come up there and so did my other cousins.It was not that I was staying over there for the first time,infact I spent most of my time with my nani daily.But even then,I felt a lot uncomfortable that day living there without my parents who had dropped me there.They left for my mama's place which was half km away from my nani's home but i didn't know that my parents would be visiting my newly wed mama after leaving me at nani's home.After about 30 min. or so since they left,I suddenly felt an urge to meet ma papa.And I ran away without knowing my own address.Everyone adult in nani's home ran to stop me.But I was ferocious then,running straight.I had thought that I would get my parents in the way of my home but they had gone to mama's house & i didn't know that.After running madly to about 1 km,I stopped because I was not able to recall which way to go to reach my home.It was 9:30 at night and it was a lone area with trucks' fleet covering all the roads.I was damn scared with the scene.I started crying not finding any other option.After 10 min. or so,a young sardar came up to me and lifted me up in his hands.I was much more frightened.He asked me the reason of crying.I told him,"mummy ke paas jana hai",in a shaky voice.He asked me my address then but I also didn't know that.I said,"mujhe yaad nahi hai".Then he pointed towards his truck and told me,"aaj raat mujhe calcutta jana hai,ya to rasta bata do varna calcutta le chalunga".I just started feeling short of heart beats listening this.I immediately started telling him the way to go in the hope that somehow,i'll reach my place.Moving through right & wrong turns for about ! hr.,I reached my home.My neighbour thanked him & he left after confirming with me that I was at the right place.
My parents were not home at that time.Then the neighbour called them up to tell that I had reached home safely.My parents & other relatives were searching for me till then.The person who made me go to my family has always been thought as an angel for me & my family as well.Such people are rare to be found today who are ready to take pains without any selfishness.He showed that he was a"human".Today,the people around are no less than animals who only wait for an opportunity to take undue advantage of anyone & everyone.Though this seems an ordinary incident but the result of it can't be seen today.I'll always be thankful to him for giving me the chance of living with my family again.
