That stormy night : OS by Sachu

‘Oh my God this dreadful storm! I should ve stayed back’,Naitik  thought to himself. It was around midnight n he was driving along the lonely road amidst heavy rain, thunder n lightning.
He was away at Mumbai for a conference meeting since 3 days. He was missing his wife very badly. So only, he set out back home that night itself in spite of Mohit n Naman’s frequent objections.
‘Akshara’s face ll glow when she sees me back. But this rain….. There is still about 6 hrs journey left. How I wish if Akshara was with me now….. ‘
Suddenly he was shocked to see a silhouette of a man standing in the middle of the road. He could manage to apply brakes on time as he was driving slow…. Or else….
‘Hey u ? Did u find only my car to die ? What do u think…….’ ‘ Shhhh…. Just keep quiet n listen…. ‘ ‘No way just move away I ve to go ‘ ‘Just listen to me once….’ ‘ I told know I dont want to….. ‘ ‘Then let it be….. Now u ll hear me….’
Naitik could feel the cold sensation of the metal at his neck. The stranger had placed a knife at his neck n Naitik felt helpless. There was no one near or far on that deserted road to help him.
‘ What u want ? ‘ ‘Thats my good boy’. Saying so the stranger got inside the car first n ordered Naitik to follow.
‘Id ve driven the car but then u might play some mischief. So just drive as per I say n then u ll be safe.’
Naitik started driving with a heavy heart. ‘Cant u drive faster ?’ The stranger seemed to be upset. ‘The road is very bad ahead so I….. ‘ ‘I can see that. But still u can drive faster. If u care for ur life…..’ Saying so he started to gently pat the knife n Naitik could not stop throwing secret glances at him in between frequently while accelerating the vehicle.
‘Go left…..’ Shouted him. ‘But I ve to go right….. ‘ ‘Now u ll go where I tell u to go, is that clear ? ‘
So after a couple of tensed hours, the car came to a screeching halt n even before Naitik could wink his eyes the stranger stormed out of the car n rushed out. It was then only he noticed that he was before a hospital. He felt some strange feeling creeping on to him.
‘ Now I ll have to drive couple of hours more to reach home. N how rude he was…. Did not even find it necessary to give an explanation before vanishing in there…. ‘
He was about to start the engine when he noticed bauji standing in the entrance. ‘Baujii what happened ?’ ‘Munnaaa be strong I was calling u since long…… Naman told u left from there….’ ‘Phone was dead please tell kyaa hua ?’ ‘Bahu…..’ ‘ Akshara ? What happened to her ? ‘ ‘She fell from the stairs n got her head injured….’.
‘ Baujii how is she now tell mee…. Aksharaaaa…. ‘ ‘Munnaaa dont panic she had lost lots of blood. U know her’s is a rare blood group. We were desperately trying to find a blood donor…. In between this storm…. ‘ ‘Papa thank God u came now nothing ll happen to mumma….’ ‘Naksh I want to see her ri8 now.. ‘ ‘Dont worry papa we got the donor. Operation started , come lets wait there…. ‘
‘Doctor …….’ ‘ Dont worry she is out of danger now.’ ‘Thank u so much doctor…..’ ‘ Dont thank me, instead be greatful to God n that guy who reached on time to donate blood.’ ‘Can I meet him ? ‘ ‘Of course he is resting just u go n see him.’
While walking towards his room Naitik heartily thanked the stranger because of whom he could reach his dear wife on time.
‘Excuse me sir, Iam Aksharas husband whom u helped……. ‘
Naitik was shocked to see the same stranger lying on bed with a big smile on his face.
‘Iam sorry sir, dont misunderstand me…. The moment I knew about the emergency I set out from home…. In between my car broke down…. No one was offering help n it was getting late…. So I thought of this way….. To threaten ….. Dont think Iam such….. ‘ Naitik could not stop his tears from flowing…… Here was a great example before him to prove that humanity still exists…. ‘ I should say sorry…… Thanks for saving my life….. My wife ……Mr……..?’
‘ Oh Iam ……… ‘
