A mechanic left a GrabFood delivery rider in tears after telling him he didn’t need to pay for his motorcycle repairs.
The heartwarming moment, captured on video, quickly resonated with many online.
The mechanic, better known on TikTok as Minyak Hitam Jalanan was about to close shop and head home around 5 pm when he received an unexpected call.
What happened
On the other end of the line was a GrabFood rider whose motorcycle chain had snapped, leaving him stranded by the roadside.
Coincidentally, the rider was nearby, so the mechanic went over to help.
While fixing the bike, the rider explained that he had already purchased the necessary parts but didn’t have time to install them.
He initially planned to ask the mechanic to remove the broken chain so a friend could help push the motorcycle home.
During the repair, the mechanic noticed the rider speaking to his wife on the phone, seemingly discussing how to transfer money to pay for the repair fees.
An unexpected act of kindness
In a twist of fate, the mechanic later revealed that someone had already paid it forward. As a result, he decided to waive the repair charges entirely.
The news caught the delivery rider by surprise.
Overwhelmed, he broke down in tears on the spot.
The mechanic shared that he understood how difficult such moments could be.
The two embraced before the rider rode off safely, with the mechanic making sure everything was in order before leaving.
Internet reacts
The video has since garnered over 5.2 million views on TikTok, with many expressing gratitude toward the anonymous individual who paid it forward and hoping that the kindness shown would one day be returned.
