Just a few minutes back I came back home with my final report prints and realised I forgot to get the signatures of my Company Guide in it..! Almost midnight and I thought if I should buzz him or not as a mere sign could screw up my presentation or just my project not eligle to be presented..!
Gathering courage I decided to call him and asked if I could come over to get a sign! He is such an awesome man. With all smiling face(I could imagine by his tone) he said come over I would love to sign it..! I grabbed my car keys and dragged my brother from the bed and threw him in the back seat! Couldn't help as it was mid night Indian roads are not safe to drive alone!
Out of the house area I realised I don't have a pen in hand and I couldn't ask my guide cum boss to bring his pen and put his imprints and on that no shops will be open so late! I looked around for any pharmacist stores or ice-cream parlours where I can borrow a pen and return back as soon as the sign is done! But to my bad luck didnt find anything open.
I saw a group of old age people standing by some closed store! Somehow managed to wake up the younger idiot(my brother obviously) ans asked him to go and ask for the favour! He asked them and to my surprise a teenage guy appeared from that group and showed up with a black marker! The young one told him that we'll return it in few minutes while coming back!
And he settled back in the front seat this time..! One foot on the clutch and the other on the accelerator and putting gears I start driving again to find the home address of the Man( My Company Guide) somehow reaching a crossroad. As soon as I reached buzzed him and he gave directions which I followed with true sincerity and finally reached the destination.
Rushing out of the car with the certificates and the black borowwed marker I reached to him and requested him to put his so important signature there..!
He said smiling, "I never thought My signature will hold so much of importance."
"It actually does!", I replied smiling.
After done thanking him I said,"Thanks a lot and sorry to disturb you so late in the middle of the night!"
"Its absolutely fine! And I know unless urgent you never actually disturb!", And he waves me and goes back inside his house. And I was pretty happy to know that I actually hold a good impression on him..! And with satisfaction I feel I can sleep back the whole night and get recharged for the next day!
All this while the young one fell asleep on the left and I started the car with a sort of jerk to wake him up! I love to harress and nag him sometimes..! Well that was because he has to go out and return the marker to that teen and I dont want to get bored alone driving!
While returning I put brakes at the same place as the people were standing..! Young one steeped out and went towards the group standing. I could see that the group was still intact but that teen wasn't there! He looked around, here and there but nowhere anybody could find him. He also asked that group if they saw someone and they said they were standing there since last one hour and there was not a single other person except them!
Young one sat back inside and i stepped out to look around but in vain. Disappointed I left the pen with those people to return it to the guy if he returns!
Me and the idiot brother both were thinking how this could be possible. Like a group standing and a teenager comes out with exactly what we want and when we come to return it back neither there is the guy nor anybody of the group has seen him..! That moment for a second I felt like that might be god in disguise somehow knowing that I needed help somehow.
I don't know if actually that guy was god in disguise or not but if he wasnt then it makes sense that people around whom he came out from should have seen him though not known him.! I'm still thinking if this truly happened.>!!
