So goes the story of one boy, shared by the Humans of Bombay page on Facebook, which would make us believe in angels amid humans. In an incident that happened last year, the young boy happened to witness a young girl drowning in a pool and crying for help.
Though he had no formal training, the little boy did not hesitate before diving in the deep side of the tank while many onlookers chose to stand and watch. After a great struggle, he managed to bring the girl to safety.
Ramu was a simple village boy. He studied at his village school till Std V. After that, he moved to Hyderabad for further studies. Hyderabad was new to him and he stayed with his uncle, who had lived in the city for a long time. Every day, his uncle would drop him off at school on the way to his office.
One day, his uncle had to go to office earlier than usual and Ramu had to go to school by himself. He knew the way and managed to reach school on time without any problem. In the evening, when school was out, two strangers at the school gate greeted Ramu. They saw Ramu and rushed to him. “We are from your village,” said one man. “Your mother and father sent us to bring you from Hyderabad.” Ramu believed them and got into their van to go to his hometown. Ramu didn’t realise that they were actually kidnappers.
Later, Ramu told them that the road they were on was not the route to his village. “This is another route to your village,” they said. But Ramu had his suspicions and understood that he was being kidnapped. He sat and observed the road, and when they stopped the van for a break, Ramu got down and ran to the main road. He flagged down a passing vehicle and got a ride back to the city. His uncle was waiting worriedly.
Since then, Ramu became bolder and went to school on his own.
