An Accident
It was raining heavily, the street lights had gone off and I was returning home after enjoying a wonderful evening with friends. The memories of the evening were still fresh with me.
We had watched the action thriller—Horror. Then we had spent sometime in the restaurant discussing the actors and the story. Finally, seeing the overcast sky, we decided to part. I started on my motorcycle.
Soon it began to rain. There was no light on the road. Still I kept going. Suddenly, I felt that my bike had hit a cyclist. The cyclist had fallen on the road. I stopped. ‘See, what have you done to me, cried the youngman nursing his wounds.’ ‘Sorry, I could not see in the darkness,’ I replied “Here are five hundred rupees. With that you can pay the doctor and mend your cycle.”
“Don’t show me your money. Go your way but carefully now, lest you should hit someone else.”
Ashamed of myself. I moved on.
