While smoking the last cigarette for the day, Harry and Aditya were all set to leave for the marines it was almost 11 pm.

"I don't want to go home, yaar," Adi added, "You know last night what happened..."


'We should help that homeless,'

interrupting in between Harry said and pointed towards him. 

"See there looks like he just got homeless we need to help him, see he's with his wife and two small children, just look at the sign of sorrow on their faces."


"What should we do?" Adi asked. "Help them bc!" Harry immediately started the bike and Aditya sat behind Harry headed to the nearby McDonald's and brought five burgers and two blankets from the nearby store for them. 


"Please take it, sir," Harry said. 


They gave him that immediately and left for the marines. 


Unaware of what's happening on the other side Harry left for the marines with Aditya. But Mr Karma was watching everything. 


Harry had a little sister, she was in her first year and the same night she had her fresher's eve. After enjoying from the late evening till midnight, Priya and her friends were returning home by cab and just 6 km away from her home it got damaged, she was alone in it and all her friends had dropped off before her. Shivering with fear she started crying.


"It's 12:30 a.m. How will I get home?" She cried. 

"I can't make it ma'am please take some other cab," said the poor driver. 


But oh how her ill fate was! She got a poor net connection and due to that she's tried more than 10 times but couldn't book it. In fear she started walking fast heading that way home she saw a bus stop and sat there to calm down shaking her legs and panicking. It is always too much for a teenager when they find out that along with freedom and fun, they'll have to even be responsible. Here she was a girl with fear for her safety! 


"I can't walk till home, there's a beer bar in midway, I gotta call harry brother," she thought to herself and tried and again network ditched her.


She sat there crying and in a few moments, she saw a headlight hitting her eyes and a honk and a man walking out of the car. A 6 feet tall man, with decent clothes. 


Two days back she had brought a safety knife she pulled it out and before she could threaten him. 


The man said, "Girl, don't panic. I saw you from a distance, I'm watching for 10 minutes...I know you need help and I can help you get there."


"How do you know what help I need?" She said with a loud tone in a protective way. She didn't want to him to think she was so naive and easily convinced. She had her guard up and could run anytime. She even knew it wasn't safe to talk. But since he was speaking from a few feet away, she listened. 


"You need to get the home girl. Take my ID details and send them to your family; take my Aadhar card and my car's photo and do the necessary safety messaging, I will drop you home.


"Text your family asap and get in soon," He said and went in. 

It was late at night and she couldn't think of another option. The cab booking app was done, but she realised the network was just on. 


She kept wondering how the data was on but she couldn't get the network to call her brother. She still messaged her family about how she will get home and got in, 'Your safety is your responsibility girl!' These were the only words he said and drove her in silence. 


Soon she got home and as the door opened... her mom asked, "Which bus you came from? You are so late we were so worried for you. I called you several times."


"Bus?" she thought did I send something wrong? And looked to see it was a bus photo which she had texted! She looked behind but no one was there, she ran out of the front gate to see in the colony if a car left...yet no one was there and even the society's gate was closed. Even the muddy entrance of the gate had no traces of the car's tyres. 


Who dropped her home? Wondering this she went in. 


Maybe it was Mr Karma has sat far away in the Karma cafe and served Kindness with care. Or maybe it was a God's angel. Nobody knew. But one thing is definite in this world - good deeds have a way of coming back to you.
