Sweet & Unexpected
Goodbye, My Pet
Dog at the Sliding Door
Pint sized
Fluffy was a 5 year old mongrel has been a constant companion of Sasha. Fluffy
will wait patiently at the window every day until Sasha is back from school. In
fact I was told that whenever Sasha got back from school, the little dog will
get into hilarious frenzy of leaping & spinning around Sasha in joy.
Sasha would
go her room to do her homework and Fluffy would follow and rest on her cushion
and would wait quietly for Sasha. They would take leisurely long evening walks
together in the neighborhood. Sasha’s parents joked that they were like ‘twins’
and would go practically anywhere together.
As time pass by Sasha went to a local college in
the island state of Penang. Sasha’s parents were still working and Fluffy was
left alone. One day an anxious neighbor made a call to Sasha’s mother to inform
they found Fluffy’s dead body at one neighborhood road. It seems that it was a
car accident …. It was a hit-run accident.
Sasha was
having her college exams then and her parents’ decided to only tell her about
the incident after her papers. The severe shock and grief might even
traumatized her if she found that Fluffy was killed. One thing left to another
by the time Sasha’s exam is over, Sasha’s parents felt that it may be better to
tell personally about the tragic incident after Sasha is back home from
college.
