On a foggy winter night, few years back, I was driving to back to home. I meet him a road accident. Because of foggy night one after one many cars were involved in it. I was not majorly injured. When I saw the panic situation on the highway, I volunteer to help them. Rescuing people out of the car, first aid, in any way I can be of any help. It took hours for the team to take the situation under control, the team was about to leave when I saw someone around the corner.

There was someone on driver seat. He was unconscious, still breathing. I went with him to the hospital. After the doctor diagnosis he said to perform urgent surgery. He had injury on his forehead, caused blood clot which need to remove without any delay. It's already being few hours late; any further delay may risk his life. The nurse gave paper to sign before surgery, without the paper sign they cannot perform surgery. What to do? I don't know this person in front of me. He was not having anything on him to identify him. I cannot abandon him like this when I can save him. With lots of thoughts I signed the paper as his guardian. Completed all the formality.

I was so restless. What if it turns out a wrong decision? God! Please save him. I was praying for his good health. I was so worried for this stranger. I took a decision for his life which I had no right for. I was in front of OT when nurse asked me come with her for medical aid. Then when I noticed my injuries.

After few hours, my heart felt at ease when the doctor told me that the operation was successful and he will be gain consciousness in few hours till then he will be under observation in ICU.

Although he is total stranger but I feel responsible. Though the accident didn't happen because of me but his current condition is because of me.

I checked on him when he was moved to the ICU. When I looked at him, the only thing I can think of was, 'wake up, please.'
