I was running late for my movie, and then suddenly a deaf-and-mute mall employee stopped me
My show for Gran Turismo was about to start in the next 5 minutes, and I was in a hurry to enter Cinepolis at Seasons Mall.. One of the highly anticipated movies, on car racing, by the director of District 9, based on the most popular racing game..
Seldom such anticipation arises for a 2 hr movie!
I was actually jogging to the audi, when suddenly, a hear a noise.. like.. ruffled suppression from a human.
I ignored twice, because it was a crowded mall, and it could have been anyone. But still, I stopped, looked back..
A mall employee was calling me, it seems.. he was standing just adjacent to Cinepolis. I couldn't get. What is the problem here?
He came running to me.. I realised he was deaf-mute. Initially, I thought he must be offering me some new scheme or discount plan from, but no.
In a matter of 3 seconds, he opened his mobile, fired the notepad app, and quickly wrote.. Axis.. and showed to me.
Damn!!
3 weeks back, I lost my Axis Bank Credit Card, and it took me 2 seconds to realize he was mentioning that.. I must have forgotten at the food court, three weeks back!
I missed a heartbeat, and my throat felt a lump of gratitude. I nodded.. yes yes.. my card! Then he gave a smirk, gave me a thumbs-up, and took me to the KFC counter.. But sadly, the management had disposed the card, since they only keep lost and found items for 10 days it seems.
Nonetheless, I thanked him profoundly, and offered him a 100 rupees note as gratitude, but refused that.. Folded his hands, as if saying sorry that my card was not found.
But damn it, boy! He remembered me, all through these 21 days, and did something which was way beyond his duty.
As I walked slowly toward the movie, I realized what humanity is. I don't think I can ever pay him back.
Thanks, buddy. You are my hero.
