Highway..

"These are testing times, son, stay cool." These words were all that he remembered. Lying on the hospital bed, he could feel the broken ribs and an amputated right hand and some bruises. He wanted to shout but failed. He looked around for a clue, thought it was a dream and tried speaking but could not. Completely perplexed, he stayed there on the cot.

A beautiful girl appeared and began preparing the injection for the patient. Her fragrance filled the room with newer zeal. His senses responded and he uttered few words, 'Errrrr... ?' She immediately went out and called an older looking guy, possibly his father. "Son, don't worry, your wife and kids are safe. Mother is all right too, a little weakened by all of this." 
The patient, his son was travelling for a holiday with his wife and kids when his car was rammed by a truck on the highway. He was brought to the hospital by Highway police and some witnesses.

"Errr, do...do I know you , Sir ?", was all the patient could say.
