Angel on BulletA Story by Neh
I was coming back home on my bike after spending a night with my close friends. Being a girl, it's important for me to feel safe (day and night). So, while coming back, I had mixed thoughts in my mind. I just wanted to reach home safely asap. I decided to only focus on the road and ride. Halfway through, and I was good. But then, there was a chowk and I had to wait until the two trucks crossed my way. It was hardly for a minute and then I realised a guy on bullet next to me.
I decided to ignore and started to ride. I realised he was riding parallel to me at a safe distance. He could have raced his bike and gone but he did not. We rode together and by now I was 5 minutes away from my house. Now the road ahead is dark, the streetlight barely is on, and bushes on both the sides. I was scared. This stranger was still riding in parallel to me. Somewhere in my mind, by now I realised he was protecting me. I prayed to God, "please let him ride with me until this rood ends" and my prayer was answered. 2 minutes away from my house, I moved my bike close to him, called him and thanked him. He smiled back with an assurance. His smile said a lot, "I am here or maybe you are safe. Don't worry". I don't know but I guess all of this. Thank you, you really made me feel safe.
