Friends; imagine a frail;old woman walking along the road with a heavy bag in her hands.
She is exhausted and gasping. Unable to walk further she sits on the footpath.
A motorcycle riders; passing by the road; sees her. He stops her motorcycle near the old woman and asks her what happened to her.
She requests him to take her to a village 10 kms from there.
The man agrees.The old woman sits on the motorcycle behind him and they leave.
About 15 minutes later a speeding truck coming from the opposite sides collides with the motorcycle head on.
Both the old woman and the man die on the spot.
This is the incident that happened in my town a week ago.
What would you say about it ??

@rakski I didn't go to the spot of the accident. Imagine; both lived far away from each other; both were strangers to each other.But both were destined to take their last breath at the same place. ; at the same time and on the same day. It is haunting.

What happened still haunts me. I think it was the destiny of both the woman and the motorcycle driver. They both were destined to die this way.It was so horrible.
