One day I was suddenly awake. It was 04:00 AM. I had never been up so early. I don't know why I was awake at this hour. I thought I heard a noise outside, around the gate, not the main gate but another inside gate.
I went ouside and saw the puppy. Around the door was the brown-puppy. Very little puppy. It was looking at me and I thought it may be hungey which was why it was there. The bitch in our colony had given birth to some puppies and through the gate some would enter the house. Similarly it got in. But at this time. Unlike ever before, the puppy, came. Ithought it may be hungry and I was sleepy already. So I brought a chappati, tore it into pieces and gave it to the puppy, loved him a bit and went to sleep.
I woke up later and saw the chappatis. The puppy used to eat it often but this time, it was there just like how I gave it.
I thought something was wrong. I tried to look for the puppy but it wasn't there. It never came back.
I realised it that day that the puppy came to wave a goodbye, because his mommy took it somewher else. I wanted to cry so much.I wanted to hug it. I wanted it back. I loved him. I miss everyday I played with him. I wanted him. But he was gone, for now and forever, and will never come back. I wish at that time I would have loved him more, hugged him, I wouldn't feel so bad now.
Later I told this to Mommy. She told me I shouldn't have gone outside at that hour. It might be dangerous. We were not allowed to open the doors when everyone was sleeping. I told her the story , how I got up and how I fed it and slept back and that it was gone now and forever.
