LOVE AND FAITH
That night, nothing was heard, just the sound of crickets singing lullaby to the young ones. It was a foggy, freezing night and I was sitting alone in my red, cosy wooden kennel. This gloomy night had only one source of dim light – the white, crescent moon. I was lonely, feeling like living on Mars without any other residents living with me. Andrew was not in as he already left earlier in the evening. I saw him with his brown Prada hand luggage but I could not get to know where he was heading for. I was giving signs to let him know that I wanted to accompany him but he ignored me. I felt disappointed and had my body laid down in my own kennel alone. He left me nothing but a bowl full with my favourite food. “How could he leave me alone?“I cried silently. I slowly closed my eyes and all the memories of the past crashing back.
I used to live in a small box near a park. I did not have any owner. My mother gave birth to me and she left me alone, so I learnt to live by myself. Every evening, I would play with my friends in the park and I did the same on this particular day. A girl with her fiancée had their walk there and saw me playing with my friend. She sat on a bench there and threw some pieces of bread to us. I, who was starving at the moment, grab the food and ate them. I decided to ask for more so I went towards her. She gave me the sweetest smile I had ever seen and she gave me the whole bread that she had in her hand at that time after breaking them into small pieces. I was very excited as if the world was mine. She patted on my back and at last, I had the whole evening spent with them. Her fiancée was a very kind man who loved dogs too. His fair skin made him look very nice and lovely. She called him Andrew. Before they went back, I overheard their conversation about taking me home. As the girl already had dogs at home, they decided that Andrew should take care of me. After that, Andrew came to me and lifted me up. “You’re coming with me, boy!” he said. Along the way home, I could sense the love and warm in him. Deep in my heart, I extremely hope that my life would be happier with him.
He lived alone and had no one to accompany him, so I then became his only best friend to talk to. Every evening, Andrew would take me for a walk around his neighbourhood and we would play our ball together. We spent so many quality time together and we could never be apart. There had never been once he left without me. He would always take me with him wherever he went. There was an incident that made him had his faith in me. A burglar was trying to break into the house when I was about 4 years old. With my own hazel eyes, I saw the burglar hit Andrew on his head, leaving a trail of blood on the floor. I saw Andrew in pain and I got totally angry. I gritted my teeth in silent anger and soon started to chase the burglar. The man swayed his bat to hit me but I managed to avoid it. Quickly, I bit his leg and he screamed at the top of his voice, crying in pain. He left our house immediately without even taking a single coin with him. Andrew was so proud of me and he praised me for my bravery. We became closer after the incident and we spent more time together. He did also bring me to his favourite place, a train station where he can look at trains. Andrew loved to look at trains and he also loved the situation at the station, where family bond were strengthen, friends were reunited and people meet new people.
I opened my eyes and it was already morning. As usual, the newspaper vendor would throw newspapers to houses and it was my job to fetch them for Andrew. But this morning was a very different morning. I heard no voice calling my name in the morning and no voice calling me to bath. So, the day started with a very weak spirit. As it was my routine, I went to get the newspaper and put it near the door. Suddenly, as I dropped the New Strait Time’s newspaper on the floor, I saw the picture of Andrew’s favourite train station on the front page of the newspaper. For some reasons, I could not get myself believe that Andrew was leaving me. After looking at the picture, out of the blue, I got an idea. “I will take this newspaper to him. He will be very happy with me. I know, and I believe he’s there.” I said to myself. Without wasting any second, I grabbed the newspaper and headed to the station.
As it was the only train station in town, I could see different kinds of people from so many places there. There were so many people going in and out of trains. I could see happiness and sadness in their faces. Some were waving to each other while some were hugging the others. But still, this one figure of man I had been searching for had not appeared. I tried my best to look for this man whom I loved and missed so much but I failed. “Is he really going to leave me? I’m loyal to you, where did I go wrong?” I cried bitterly. The trust and faith I had earlier faded away. Slowly, I paced my paws and decided to have my journey home. Suddenly, I heard a voice calling for me. “Rooney!” Andrew ran towards me and hugged me. I was so happy to see Andrew there. “Why in the world are you here and how did you come here by yourself? Did you think that I was going to leave you? Silly dog! Of course not, you are the best friend I’ve ever had. I was sending my mother back to her house and I had to stay there for the night. I’m sorry I couldn’t bring you along. My mother is allergic to dogs fur.” I smiled at him and whispered, “Thank you for being loyal too, Andrew.” We went home and played our favourite ball together.
