You never really know the true impact you have on those around you. You never know how much your 'kindness' would turn a certain person's life around....
He was completely stressed about what was to come. He said that he didn't attend college that day because he couldn't think straight, he was worried about what his parents would say when they found out, and of course the added strain in getting his Aadhaar Card, Driver's License, etc., issued again.
All I could do was reassure him that it'd be fine; and he'd get through this.
Because, 'patience' wasnt his strongest suit, he took his bike and decided to retrace his path from the previous night. In that scorching heat, for 2 hours he drove back and forth, blaming himself for being careless.
Just as he was about to give up all hope and drive back to his hostel, he received a call from an unknown number.
It was a man speaking broken English, calling my friend by his first name. He was asking whether, my friend had lost his wallet, and that he'd found it on the highway late the previous night. He said that he saw the bike drive past him but something had fallen flat on the road right after that. When he tried to call the number on of one the ID cards, the phone was switched off.
The man also asked my friend to say his last name just to confirm if the lost wallet was actually his. Upon confirming, the man sent his location on WhatsApp and said he'd get the wallet back to him.
My friend drove to the location absolutely shocked and needless to say, wanted to hug that man for doing what he did.
It's true what they say about kindness...it costs nothing.. but means everything.
