In Such Poor Health I Couldn’t Walk As a Stranger Virtually Carried Me to the Toilets.
At the age of 19 years old, my daily commute meant taking an express bus. The vehicle was always jammed and was consistently standing room only when I boarded.
During a certain commute, I started experiencing quite nauseous while the vehicle swayed around every turn. I repeatedly told myself to hold on just a little longer so the bus could arrived at my destination, at which point I could rush hurriedly toward the most convenient public toilet to be sick.
As we neared the road leading to the stop when it dawned on me I would not be to make it. All of a sudden, it seemed a curtain fell over me. Everything just went blank and silent; similar to when one muted everything. My mind raced, “I will lose consciousness”.
Fortunately, I stood close to the driver on the bus, so I took several steps toward the driver and requested that the driver to open the doors, explaining to him that I was about to vomit. He opened the bus doors and I hurriedly stepped on to the pavement.
I was determined to not get sick in front of six lanes of traffic, so I picked myself up and began attempting to stumble toward the green space opposite the street, where I thought I’d at least be able to find some privacy behind a bush to throw up. However I likely fainted. I sensed my physical self, yet I was unable to walk or see clearly, so I started crawling towards the park.
“Are you okay, dear?”
In that instant, I got scooped up. There was a strong arm supporting me and a man’s voice asked, “Everything alright, love?” I told this kind passerby that I had to to vomit. Therefore, he almost carried me into a close-by structure and guided me into the female bathroom. He inquired whether I required him to wait for me but I declined.
Not long after, I regained my composure to the point of sitting on the restroom floor and from the other side of the door I heard his voice asking, “Do you need anything, love? Can I get you something?” I was incapable to stand up right away but did manage to express my gratitude and following a brief period recovered the use of my legs. I got myself home and then spent the following days healing from what was later diagnosed as a nasty tummy bug.
I never glimpsed his features – only his legs and a large metal toolbox he was carrying – but he saved me, at a moment I was completely helpless.
Often this world has a way of making you guarded, hostile, and combative. His act was the type of kindness that undoes that protective shell. He demonstrated that people’s natural inclination is to be kind, something I love in other people.
