Three years later, Ravi bought a car. He learnt how to drive a car from a nearby driving school. He drove his car in his colony once and parked it in front of neighbor’s house. He was scared to take out the car all by himself.
Whenever he would come downstairs the lady of the house on the ground floor would request him to remove the car parked in front of her house. The colony dog always slept under the car in shade and sprang on her dog, whenever she took it out for a walk.
One fine Sunday morning, Ravi gathered all his courage and took the car keys with him. He tried to back up the car to take it out from the parking space. He managed to accomplish the task with ease. This made him more confident and he felt like driving the car for a couple of kilometers. His three-year-old daughter got in the car with him. He drove the car toward the nearby shopping complex.
As he was about to turn the car, a scooter sped in from his left side. This made him a bit nervous and he tried to apply breaks. But he was a novice, instead of applying breaks, he stepped hard on the accelerator. The scooter was also at high speed, so had crossed Ravi by then, but the kick of the scooter got stuck on the side of the car and both the scooter riders fell.
Ravi got down the car scared and shaky. He was thinking within him, what would happen now. He had not even thought what he would say when he saw a policeman approaching him. He was even more scared because he did not have his driving license, not even his Learner’s. But, in the meanwhile, the scooter rider told him that he could leave and that they would handle the case with the policeman. He checked with them twice and left. The scooter riders handled the case with the policeman.
A couple of days later, he saw one on the scooter riders in his colony. Upon asking, he came to know that they lived in the same colony as his. He paid them a visit to their house, only to find that the second rider had plaster on one of his legs. Ravi apologized and asked them if they needed any help from him.
He was amazed when they said that they were to go to Chandigarh to appear in a court case. But the accident saved them from a much bigger hassle. Ravi thanked God for all HIS support.
What do you think? Are the two incidents connected? Did he get justice because he did justice three years ago? Was it destined to be so? Are destiny and free will linked?
