A raised voice saved a little kid

Humans are social beings and no humans are perfect. At some points in life, one human needs the support or help from another human and it is quite natural. But it's the choice of humans to help or not and it depends on the personality and the thoughts of humans. Helping is a good habit and the habit makes humans the best creature on this earth.

I am a human and I try to be a good human as much as I can and everyone should try to be a good person in life. My parents gave me the lesson to help others if I am capable. In my life, I always try to help others as much as I can without thinking. And sometimes I take some risks also for it. Today I am going to share one recent incident that happened a couple of months ago.

It was the time when I was returning from University. After I came down from the University train I rode on a local bus to come to my flat. My best friend's flat was on the way and so he was there with me. I used to use a local bus because it's cost-effective. So on that day, I was on the bus with my friend. Many people travel by standing in a local bus. I was among those people who were traveling by standing. Even in a crowded place I always hate too much loud sounds and it irritates me a lot.

From the beginning, I noticed that a kid of 6/-8 years was continuously crying and the sound of crying seemed harsh than anything. 3/4 minutes crossed and the kid didn't give any sign of stopping crying and that was irritating me too much. That was a little kid and I could not say anything to him also except bear what was happening. But all of a sudden I started to think why the kid was crying. So I asked the guardian(2) why he was crying. The male person (50+age approximately) replied "Today his father didn't come to receive him and because of that he is crying". And both guardians were that little kid's grandfather and grandmother. They are trying to console the kid saying some friendly words.

The reason for crying sounded weird to me but I didn't ask anything more thinking it had nothing to do with me and I was waiting when the kid would go outside of the bus. As well as I know my brain works perfectly but slowly or lately. After spending some minutes I was thinking that the grandfather had come in the place of that kid's father it's ok. But I could not get the logic of crying because as well as I know kids are very friendly with their grandparents and love to enjoy time with them. Then why the kid was crying? It was a weird child indeed. Till that time I was very positive but after spending some more time I started to think grandfather coming to the place of that kid's father was reasonable but why did grandmother need to come to receive grandson when she would meet at home sometime later? I tried to be positive about it but with time negative thoughts started to take control in my mind about the situation and I started to feel suspicious. I informed my friend about my suspense by whispering and he said to inquire more about it.

I don't think I am a brave person but somehow I gathered my courage and decided to face the situation thinking that both demanded guardians were kidnappers. I know I was taking a risk but I felt it was a necessary risk. If my prediction goes wrong then I might receive a little bit of humiliation but if my prediction was right then I could save a kid from kidnapping and it was worthy taking the risk. Besides my friend was beside me which also gave me courage.

I started to ask all the details about the kid in a strong voice. I asked the parent's name and some other information and it was enough to make them feel I was suspecting them as kidnappers. I tried to find information in the kid's school bag but didn't find anything related to his identity. In the next stoppage, he paid the bus fee and they were almost about to leave but I caught the hand of the kid and the woman also was on the bus. The old man became angry saying that his destination had already crossed. Even he threatened me by the name of the police. Indeed I became a little bit afraid of seeing the confidence of that old man but I didn't show it outside. Fortunately, the police station was very near on the way and I told the driver to keep the bus near the police station. I hold the hand of the little kids strongly and approached the police station. Old grandparents were very confident and they were also approaching. I was afraid but determined to see the end and my friend also came with me even after crossing his destination. Almost in the time of entering in the police station both so-called grandparents flew away and I wasn't expecting to see their confidence. So it was confirmed that both of the so-called grandparents were the kidnappers.

We both entered the police station and described everything what happened. I was there for a while and the police easily found the identity of the kid through the school of that kid within half hour and collected all information about the parents of the kid. Police made contact with the parents and I felt relief thinking that I had done a great job🙂.

Whatever happened was not less than a drama and I never expected to face such a kind of situation. Although the kidnappers flew away, somehow I managed to save the kid. But one question still in my mind that why the kidnappers chose a local vehicle rather than choosing a private vehicle. Maybe the kid was lucky.
