On Sunday morning around 10 am Shrishti went to the nearby auto stand. Many autos were standing waiting for passengers. Chakri, Chakri, Chakri, I just want one passenger for Chakri, Medha, Medha, Medha, Medha, those who want to go come here, this Mamu, don't move aside, let a passenger come from the front, hey oh... yes yes I am telling you to move your compartment, I have to go.
Many kinds of voices were echoing there. Some were lifting the luggage of the passengers themselves to pick up the passengers. Then someone was saying "Hey Mataji, you sit in my auto, I am about to leave". Amidst all these voices Shrishti was looking for a face very closely. Many auto drivers were asking her to sit in their autos thinking her to be a passenger.
Shrishti would ignore them and move ahead. Then the auto driver would say from behind "Hey ma'am, where do you want to go, tell me the place, I will drop you there". Not paying attention to them, Shrishti was busy searching for that special person.
It was quite a while since Shrishti had come. The heat of the sun was increasing with the passage of time. Without caring about it, she was busy searching for that person, wiping the sweat from her forehead. Suddenly an auto came and stopped there. After looking at the driver carefully, a bright smile appeared on Shrishti's lips and Shrishti moved towards the auto driver.
The auto driver, thinking that she was a passenger, said... daughter, where do you want to go?
"Uncle, I have not come to ride your auto today, but to meet you." Shrishti said smiling.
"But why from me? I don't even know you."
Shrishti... Uncle, you may have forgotten, but I have not forgotten. About a month ago, you helped me. Due to which I got a job. Thank you uncle, I got a job only because of you. Take this...
Saying this, Shrishti extended the bag she had brought with her towards the driver. The driver, showing ignorance, started staring at Shrishti.
"What happened uncle, why are you looking like that. It seems you really don't remember me, never mind, I will remind you."
After this, Shrishti narrated the incident of that day in detail, after hearing which the driver said...Oh, so you are there, it's good son that you got a job that day. But I cannot take this. Daughter, I had fulfilled my duty of humanity as a human being that day.
Shrishti...that day you fulfilled your duty, today I am fulfilling my duty. Anyway, you have called me your daughter. If a daughter gives something, you don't refuse.
"But..."
"No buts, just keep it. Please uncle." Shrishti said in a childish tone
"Okay, okay, give it to me. By the way, what is in it?" Taking it in his hand and examining it, the driver said
Shrishti... whatever it is, you can see it later. Now give me your contact number. Whenever I need to go somewhere, I will call you. You will come, right Uncle?
"Yes, yes I will come." He said while giving his contact details.
Shrishti took the driver's contact details and left. A boy present there was watching and listening to all this. As soon as Shrishti left, he came to the driver and said...Uncle, this girl is a bit strange, isn't she? Who does this?
"It is strange, where people forget after taking help from their own people, there is also someone like her who did not forget even after a stranger helped her, but came looking for her."
"Okay, it is good, now you can see what she has given. Later I found out that the bag is heavy only in appearance, there is nothing in it."
"What is it, what is it not, what do you have to do with it. I have come to know that there is something in it, even if nothing happens. Still this much is enough for me, she did not forget my help and came here searching for me. Go do your work and let me do mine." I replied bluntly.
Saying this, the auto driver increased the speed of the auto and the boy said, "I was just talking like that. She felt bad, let it go friend, what do I have to do, I do my work, anyway I have not got a single passenger since morning." saying this he went towards his auto.
At the same time when Shrushti went to search for that auto driver, then mother was at home........
