A to Z Challenge - Day 25 - You are responsible..!

It was midnight. The clock stuck half past 1. Vidya started from her office after finishing that day's work. She worked in Pacific timings shift. She dialled the number of cab driver who used to drop her at home regularly. Unfortunately, he felt sick and no cabs were available for her return to her Abode.

With her nerves bundled, she came to her office entrance searching for an alternate mode of transport. She saw her friend, Vijay approaching towards her. Having heard her problem, he accompanied her till the nearest bus stop and arranged her an auto. She expressed her gratitude. He gently refused it by saying "You're my friend. It's my responsibility to take care of you. Reach home safe and don't hesitate to ring me up incase of any problems"

While going in auto, her heart panicked.  Media shows up some of the auto drivers with negative image. And that's the root cause for her fear. After reaching her apartment, the driver didn't charge extra fare for the late night trip which many of them used to do. She thanked him for that. He in return said " Sister! Your safety is my responsibility. Take care" 

Her apartment watch man who was deep in his sleep, woke up on hearing the sounds at the gate. He accompanied Vidya till her flat without hearing a word when she refused. She felt sorry for awakening him from his sleep and said him the same. He politely replied as "You're like my daughter. Your safety is important to me. Its my responsibility " . She smiled back.

Even if she's not your sibling,girlfriend, friend or daughter, she is your fellow citizen. And you're responsible for her to lead a secured and peaceful life!
