I must have been really stupid to do that! Sir! I shouted as I grabbed his shoulder, Can you tell me your name? Do you live around here?The man seemed to have lost his ability to hear or see or feel as he continued to walk around his car, only that now he was crying and shivering. Then in a flash of a moment, I found myself walking towards him and reaching out to his shoulder. I remember standing in the rain for quite some time, staring at the man hovering around his car, feeling absolutely worthless. So there I was, feeling helpless and angry, because I decided to help someone without knowing what to do.
Also, if I went home, which was just across the street, my over-protective mother would panic and wouldn't let me help him. But there was no one I could call as my phone had switched off after getting wet in the rain. I was not comfortable reaching out to him physically and I thought he might attack me in his condition. I tried calling out to him but he continued going round and round his car. Excuse me Sir! Can I help you? I asked him. But as I went near him, I was sure it was the injury and not any substance that was causing him to tip.
At first when I saw him, he looked inebriated as he was losing his balance now and then. I could see a man pacing up and down, drenched and injured. What happened in that half an hour is what I call my most unforgettable memory. I wasn't sure if it was safe to go to the car to investigate but my instincts dragged me from the gate of my building to across the road and next to the car. I realized something was wrong when I could see someone hovering around the car. In my hurry to get into the house, I didn't notice the black car parked across the road.
