Go Tiger Go
Tiger was a puppy.
He was adorable.
He used to follow me to the school.
He seemed to wait for me when I used to come back from school.
First thing I used to do after reaching home, it to feed him Rotis and sometimes milk (if my grandma is not home !
shh)
He was strongest among his 8 siblings.
He used to take care of his weakest brother Tiny a lot.
Tiny was kinda irritating. He wanted everything from food to his mother’s love.
Tiger always let it go, may be being strong he realised his power and responsibilities.
Time grew,despite of proper food and treatment one after one the puppies gone missing.
It was tough time for me,I couldn’t stop thinking about my friend Tiger’s broz. I was getting more worried about Tiger and Tiny day by day.
One day Tiny wasn’t there in his brick house (we built one for them) when I returned from school. Our crew (gang of colony kids) called an emergancy rescue option for which few of them were to be scolded later in the evening.
We found Tiny, five blocks away near watertank.Poor puppie…..
A week after Tiger went missing.
Tiny stayed there for few years. He became a mean and wicked dog. He got regular beating from next generation of colony kids. I guess he never had puppies.
I missed Tiger a lot. I had no one to talk about Tiger,back then just like today.
Tiger has became a root of emotion called friendship. Ever since when I locate Tiger…after some time he just goes away. I never did understand why is that so. With time the insecurity grew in me, these days I just can’t bear it.
I hate you tiger. I hate you very much.
