Life ia mystery. Win our lives? why certain things happen ? But they happen because they are needed in our lives Why the night should be so dark?why there should be darkness at all? if night is not there people on this earth will never have rest in their lives.
When I look back this terrible incident that happened in my life right at the brink of my very life, i see that everything has bee " predestined" by God. If this incident did not happen, i would not have another miracle story of "READERS"s DIGEST" to depict later that happened in my life after one year.
When certain things were happening in my life, though they were so petrified and terrified and sometimes sorrowful, i see the loving hand of God was weaving a beautiful pattern of clorful design inmy life And every incident in my life wheter i chrish it or not whether they havea meaning in it or not, wheterh they gave me immense joy or give me deep sorrow, nothing, not even one incident missed His eye Rom 8:28 " all things work together for good for them who love God and who are called by His name" Even this most terrorized incident in my tender years of22 years age had its beautiful pattern in my life.
I" I was standing at the Zion Koliwada Suburban Bus Stop, as it was suburnun area, there were scarcely a few buses come to that stop and as already one bus left , just before my arrival, there, I was in only one who stood waiting for the next bus.
I had a small hand bag in which there were only Rs.200/- as my last resort of my survival for the rest of my life in Bombay till i get tht promised typist Post, Only few days back i resigned the post of Air hostess in Air India, due to some reasons I had a gold chain on me which i usually cover up with my sari pallu during the rush hours of travelings in the city As it was very sultry day and as there were not many people on the road I just slipped off the pallu from my right shoulder and let it hang loosely at my back
Suddenly within no time I saw one young man was running on the road and approached me in a minute and hit me on my neck. I thought he was a rowdy and goonda who was trying to molest me until the next second when i heard him shouting at me in Hindi, I could hear him in my shock only three words like " Chore....Chain... Margaya" Then i realized that he snatched away my gold chain and he was threatening me if i shout " Chore or chain "that he would kill me.
Then i saw my gold chain, half piece of it was dangling from his fist and the other half chain fall at the electric pole nearby me We both saw that at once and we both tried to pick it at a time, But he jsut pushed me aside and snatched it from my hand and hit me with a long Gupti, a sword, on my face and started to run on the road All this happened in a matter of a few seconds and just started to chase him in spite of his warning. I was shouting for help" chore chore pakado pakado" ( There the thief catch him" People many of them were standing on the foot path either side of me but no body came to help me. I was just a feet behind him and he was running fast and I did not stop running or chasing him or shouting aloud for help.
To this day i feel that it was miraculous protection of God that protected me from the hand of that person with a sword who had murdered an elderly man of 75 years , the manager of Roopam theator just a street beside in the broad light of the day. His name was Augustine , the piece of the gold chain which we both tried to pick up from the electric pole had a rold gold Cross,
As it is written n Daniel 6:22 " My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouth of the lions.They have not hurt me because i was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, O king"
Yes, indeed the Lord had sent his angel to protect me from a murderer on whose hands the blood of an old man were not yet dried. I was matter of fact, it was so easy for him to turn around as he had the same sword in his hand with which he stabbed just a few minutes ago and could kill any person who stop him on his run away., My life was nothing to him, whom i was chasing on the public road, shouting for the help and attention OF the public In fact while that manger was walking on the foot path to reach the theater after getting down from his car, he was stabbed right in day time and on the public road It was not a big deal for him to do the same once again and get rid of me as I was just a step back of him, following him.
In such a situation we both were crossing a four road junction when a car just stopped on my left side just a feet away screeching loudly. I thought I was under it wheels almost, and was going to die the next second. But i did not die nor the car touched me,Again I started to pursue him and we both were running on a foot path, and suddenly two hefty men over run of me and as i was seeing in shock, one of them with his two legs in the air jumped on Augustine's back. Right on the main road he fell down and the sword in his hand was thrown away to a distant . At that moment all those people who were on the footpaths started to chase him shouting at him But strange as a lightening he jumped over the little bridge wall over the jopadhas ( small tin roofed houses) and started to run, i found half piece of gold chain when he fell and i picked it up.
As I could not follow him any more, jumping from the brick wall of the bridge down to the jho[pdas, I stopped to chase him. And there was a public tap where some women were observing all this came in rescue of me and hold me as I touched my cheek I found gush of blood oozing out of the wound he made and I felt like I was swooning and fell down on the road. But I regained my stregth and asked for Paani ( water ) they brought it and at the moment all of us saw a police zeep across the place where we were and the police hefty ment were shouting loudly (aaoo aaoo Mutunga Police station aaoo) it means Come on to Matunga police station to me. The women there got one auto for me and pushed me into it, that I better go to the station and lodge the complain.
So in an instance I jumped into the auto and reached the station. Once I was in the Police station I felt at poise. Police are my blood and flesh, of course my dad was in this Police job, so I was at home in the station. The Police officer asked me about my whereabouts, I answered him, " I am from Andhra Pradesh and I came here as I got job as airhostess in Air India and my father is DSP of police right back at Andhrapradesh. " He was pleased to hear this, he ordered for hot coffee and bread omlette for me to eat and relax. we called for Br Murthy and Br. Khoshi to come to the Police station. Meanwhile the son of the Rupam Theatar manager came and sat beside me and the murderer was produced in front of us in couplings I was told the incident of murder and unknowingly my both knees were knuckling to one another. I was trembling a little. This physical reaction is something which was not in my control of mind.
But I managed, somehow. The police took the chain the two pieces and sealed it in front of me and said that they would produce it in the court and would call me for trail when time comes. Thus I was disposed, the doctor who treated me with my wound was astonished, saying," This is amazing, you got deep wound on your cheek bone , yes , right on cheep bone , if it is a little down, it would have cut your cheek into two and you need stitches which would make an ugly scar on your face. If it is a little up your eye nerves would have been cut off and your would had been blind for life . Its pure LUCK" he said, I said 'No doctor its not Luck , its the GRACE of God."
Can you believe that I lost this gold chain in 1976 and I got it back in 1982...in wonderful miraculous way? I will post it soon .
