I saw an old man walking down the street stumbling. I stopped my bike and went near him. It was a shock for me to see his nail trampled and it was bleeding heavily.
How you got injured ? I asked..,
The old man replied,
" The auto which passed my way too fast has hit my leg and that's how my toe nail get trampled".
I can't stop myself from helping him. I asked him to come to nearby Doctor. So that, his toe will be band-aided and TT can be injected to avoid further sores.
The old man refused but I forced him to the Doctor, Once we reached and all the treatment is done, The old man was whispering.., It's time up, getting late.., He kept on saying this repeatedly.
Hearing this, I asked him is there any emergency for him. He told me that his wife is in home waiting for the tiffin and he have to buy and go soon.
Little angered, I asked him.., " You got hitted, can't your wife understand it ? What if you go late ?"
He said,
" For the past seven years, My wife suffers due to a mental disorder. She forgotten all thing and she doesn't even know that " I am her husband ".
I said,
yeah.., then what's the trouble, she doesn't know you, then why you worry ?
I was shocked and went dumb hearing his reply..,
The old man smiled and said..,
" But, I know her who She is "
Is this called " TRUE LOVE " !?
