“Does she need an insulin shot?” I asked her friend, assuming she might get it because of hyperglycaemia.
“Yes, she’s got hyperglycaemia,” she confirmed it.
“I may help her then,” I said taking out a vile of rapid-insulin of my bag. I filled the syringe with 12 IU (International Unit). Before injecting, I assured her friend that I was from Biocon, a company that trained us how to deal with these critical situations. When she felt assured, I injected the insulin in the abdomen. In a few seconds, she gained her consciousness. Her friend thanked me while she was yet to understand who brought her consciousness.
“The next station is Dwarka,” the system announced. This was my station. I quickly managed my bag and stood to exit.
“Hello,” the girl I gave insulin spoke to me while she was still on the floor.
“Yes.”
“Give me your card. I will thank you on call,” she said while slowly getting up to sit.
Wow! She would call me.
“Sure,” I handed my card to her and left the train.

Next day after finishing my job, I entered my flat. After a few hours when I came out to have the dinner, I got a call.
“Hello,” I picked the call.
“Is that Abhishek?” a female voice said. I assumed she would be the same girl whom I met in Metro.
“Yes.”
“Hi Abhishek! This is Meenal Jain. You gave me insulin shot yesterday,” she said.
“Hi ! I remember. How are you now?”
“I am fine now. Actually I wanted to thank you for what you did for me in an emergency.”
“Well, it was just a coincident that I had insulin available at that time, so I did what I should have. You don’t need to thank,” I said.
“No No. I do have to thank you. Moreover, I’ve to pay you as well for the insulin,” she said, “so can we meet now, if you are free?”
Can a boy ever get busy for this purpose?
“Yes, we can surly meet but only if you are not paying me for the insulin,” I said.
“Ohh….then I want you to accompany me on dinner,” she said
“My pleasure!” I said, “so where do we meet now?”
“Can you come at Ambience Mall? I am just reaching there.”
“Fine. I see you in thirty minutes.”
