A single girl is not an opportunity; she is a responsibility.
Kindness, Trust, and the Duty to Protect

A single girl is not an opportunity; she is a responsibility.
Saturday night around 11:30 I was returning home from the office on my scooter. The road was quiet, lightly cold too. Just saw a girl in a distance, waving in a salwar suit. It looked like he needed help. I immediately stopped the scooter and asked, "Can I help? "
The girl angry said, "I gave my hand to the auto, after so long a difficulty came and it left because you stopped! "
I realized my mistake. Lonely girl, that too at night—I thought I was wrong. Immediately apologized and offered help, but she refused in anger. I again said, "It's been that night and you're alone... "
But she stood quietly in anger.
I said to myself, "Come on brother, get your way. "But then I realized that this path is completely deserted. If God forbid, something goes wrong? Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I should help her, otherwise I will not forgive myself.
I went a little distance and stopped the scooter and said, "Look, I'll stand away until you get an auto." It's my fault, so it is my responsibility. "
She didn't say anything. I stood there for half an hour. It was 12am. I again said, "Look, you look like my sister. If my sister was alone tonight I would never leave her alone. "
But she was still hesitating. I thought, if I were in her place, I probably wouldn't trust a stranger. That's why I got a thought. I took out my ID card from my pocket and said, "Look at this, my Aadhaar card, PAN card, driving license... Keep it all by yourself. When you get home safely, give me back. "
He saw my Aadhaar card, read the name—"Rahul... "And then got a little soft. He said, "Okay, but don't worry too much. I'll get home my way. "
I begged again, "Just leave you to the right place. Swear to my sister, I can't sit peacefully without you alone. "
After thinking for a while she said, "Okay, let's go. "
She sat on the scooter. I asked, "where to go? "
She said, "You just keep walking, I'll keep telling you. "
We both walked silently for about 40 kilometers. Suddenly she said, "stop right here. "She quickly ran down the street and said, "Thank you! "And she disappeared inside the street in the darkness.
My heart is relieved that she arrived safely. When I got home, it was three o'clock. Dad was angry, mom and little sister were awake too. I walked in my room without saying anything.
The next morning was Sunday, I was sleeping late. All of a sudden my sister said, "Brother... Wake up! Some girl has come, her parents are also with her. Have you called someone? "
Went down and saw that girl was standing. His parents were along too. I was just surprised. He said smilingly, "Rahul bhaiya, I have come to say thank you. Because of you I made it home safely yesterday. But I accidentally took your papers. Here you go. "
His parents thanked me a lot and gave me many blessings. They even gave us the opportunity to come home as we left.
As they left, Papa hugged me and said, "Son, today you proved that you are responsible." But next time tell us first, we don't scold you. "
Mummy and sister also cried hugging me.
— "A single girl is not an opportunity, it is our responsibility."
