METRO DIARY

It was 7:30 in the morning and I was enjoying the ride of metro towards AEROCITY by sleeping for a while on the corner seat. And just then when I was about to went into tight sleep, I felt something or someone just landed on my fellow seat like a bomb hit the ground and made the clamant voice. मैं हड़बड़ा कर उठ बैठा । And I saw a man in his forties, well dressed, clean shaved,  पर घबराया हुआ, पसीने में लथपथ । 

I didn't understand anything for a second then I asked him, 

"Are you well, Sir ?"

He didn't say anything just nodded and I understood that he may have BP problem. 

I just took out my Cocofly(coconut water) gave him to drink but he was not able to move his hand so I have helped him to drink it. He felt little bit relaxed after that but still not good. So I took out my sandwich and gave him to eat, he ate little bit and demanded some water, I gave him my water bottle too. After some while he felt better than before so I asked him where he is headed to. He was going back to his home town MUMBAI. So was heading towards T3 airport. Okay I asked him to call anyone who can take care of him or atleast let me call metro guys so he can get treatment properly but he refused and said that he has no one here in Delhi, he came on some business trip alone. And also that he is already running late for his flight. 

I was confused what to do now. Because my soul was telling me that not to leave him and my mind was saying that " brother let him be on his own".  But then I decided lets go with him upto T3 and leave him there within proper custody. So he asked me after little while that where I am heading. I told him that I am also going to T3 to receive my friend. He said "that's very good, it's my first time in delhi metro, I also didn't knew the routes and all, and I am so lucky to have you as a co-passenger". So we started talking about other issues as I felt he is quite relaxed now. And asked him if that happens with him before. What he replied has stunned me for a while. 

"Brother you are seem to be genuine person so I tell you that I just entered in the metro and got a call from my wife that my father had heart attack in late night yesterday and they took him to the hospital instantly, my phone was switched off because of less battery and it was on charging. So I didn't get the news at first when it happened and after some while when they had tried enough to contact me they were also worried but the doctor there told him to not worry at all, all will be good and not to disturb me at all as I am far away from here and already have planned to come home today. So my wife called me after my father had successful operation of heart stent so not to worry. Come home safely. All in good hands. And as I heard the news I just dropped my BP and fell down on your seat".

Mean time I have insisted him to finish the sandwich so he done ate it. 

In this all conversation  we have reached to the Dwarka sec-21 station so we needed to change the metro. So we did and started our conversation again. And just in another couple of minutes we reached our destination, we alight there and headed towards airport gate. I asked him then If he is feeling good and can fly to MUMBAI. He told me that yes he can and he is feeling quite good now. So I offered him to shake hands but he just grabbed my hand  and भाईसाहब ने गले लगा लिया। I really felt very good and we part our ways and I moved towards Metro again and he towards entry que. And just then I realised that I didn't get his name so I turned towards him but I saw that he got entered in the airport but suddenly he also turned and just waived his hand to me and said bye. I also said ADIOS MY DEAR FRIEND. And thought 

कुछ काम बग़ैर नाम के ही अच्छे होते हैं ।
