Life is so damn unpredictable! None of us know what will happen the very next moment. Many people have that notion that good people are hardly found these days, but no, this rickshaw puller has changed this perception completely.
Well, Bablu Shekh (55), a rickshaw puller, saved a girl (His passenger) from ending her life. Yes, she decided to commit suicide since she had a troubled love affair. Basically, the girl was supposed to run away with her BF, but he dumped her at the end moment. Her tears were uncontrollable and this made Bablu very upset. She was disturbed and in this situation, she could think of just 1 way out i.e. jumping in front of the train; however, instead of leaving her alone, Shekh convinced her and pulled her away from the tracks. For this, he had to hear lots of abuses, but he didn’t mind!
It was because of Shekh that the girl’s life was saved; she became a doctor and here’s where the co-incidence came. After few years, when Shekh met with an accident, it was the same girl i.e. the doctor, who saved him. Read how Karma rewarded him; check this Facebook post shared by a photographer from Bangladesh.
The post read,
“We always wanted a daughter. But we have three sons. I often told my wife only fortunate have daughter. I am working as a rickshaw puller for more than thirty years. Most of my passengers were bad tempered. They always scolded me. One morning a father hired me to take his daughter to the college. He requested me to be careful in the road. He told his daughter to hold the rickshaw tightly. Before we left he told me to go slowly so the girl may not get hurt. On our way after sometime I heard the girl was crying insanely. I tried to look back and wanted to ask her if everything was okay. She scolded me and warned me not to look back. After a while she asked me to stop and started calling someone by her phone. She was screaming and crying all the time.
I understood she supposed to escape from home with a boy. He did not show up. Suddenly she jumped from the rickshaw, left the money in the seat and quickly went to the train line. I was about to leave, felt sorry for the father and thought it may be good not to have a daughter. But I was not able to paddle further; I heard her father was requesting me to be careful. I parked my vehicle and ran for the girl. She was in the rail line, moving like a sick person to harm herself.
I went near to her and requested her to go back with me. She yelled at me, called me uneducated stupid, in between she kept crying insanely. I was afraid to leave her in that empty place. I let her cry, as much as she wanted. Almost three hours we were there and rain was about to come. Before the rain starts she got up and asked me to bring the rickshaw. We did not talk about anything. In the rain I paddled quickly. I dropped her near her house. Before I left she stopped me and said, ‘Uncle, you should never come at my place again, never tell anyone you know me.’ I lowered my head and returned to home. That day I did not talk to anyone, I did not eat anything. I told myself it was better not to have a daughter.
After more than eight years, very recently I had an accident. I was kind of senseless. Public took me to the hospital;. When I got back my sense I saw the girl was working near me, she asked me how I was feeling, why I never went to meet her. It was hard for me to recognize the girl in white dress, in spectacle and stethoscope. My treatment went well. I was taken to a big doctor.
I was listening to her telling him, ‘Sir, he is my father’. The old doctor told her something in English. Then she touched my injured hand and replied him, ‘If this father did not support me in the past, I won’t be able to become a doctor’. I was lying in a narrow bed and tightly shut my eyes. I cannot tell anyone how I felt. This rickshaw puller has a daughter, a doctor daughter.
– Bablu Shekh (55)”
