Noble deed

Noble deed

From Kompas

A Koantas Bima city bus smashed into our Kijang van on Sept. 28 on Jalan Asia Afrika in Senayan. Three of my friends suffered serious wounds while I sustained a minor injury.

In the middle of the melee a kind passerby helped us into a taxi which sped to the Mintohardjo Navy Hospital in Bendungan Hilir.

As soon as we arrived at the hospital I offered the taxi fare to the driver but he refused it. I repeated my offer while glancing at the meter and again the driver reiterated that we didn't have to pay.

He then wiped the blood off the car seat and drove away. I managed to ask and jot down his name: Daekys M. Noor, but I failed to note the taxi number or the name of the taxi company because we were in a hurry to treat the wounded.

My friends and I would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the kind driver. May God reward his noble deed.
