Where Have You Gone
||
You never know!
At the railway station, waving goodbye to my colleagues, I smiled at them with a mountain of bitter-sweet tears which my eyes were clouded with, but I forced them back. And I thought I would come back soon, but beyond my expectations, which should turn out the last time I bid them adieu. Gone are the days when given a tough task, we fought for it against the clock and they turned into past memories thought stay vivid in my mind. Since then the crowd of familiarity have gone out of my life.
Time was when I noticed an old man picking up one-off water bottles, as I was passing by the place where he showed up every day. He is of little height and obviously years of hard work had bent his shouders, and the crow’s feet at the corner of his eyes were easily spotted, which put years on him. He fended for himself maybe because he lived a hand-to-mouth life, I thought. Something deep into my heart tugged my heartstrings whenever I passed over him. It was when I saw him that I felt a great relief running through my body, only then could I make sure that he was still alive not far away from me, probably not too healthy, but at least he could do as he liked. Old time, usual place, “be there or be square” wasn’t on, though, vanished he was.
A car came to halt suddenly, people coming and going, it seemed, as no one noticed that a little puppy, what that is known as Chihuahua was sitting right at the middle of the road, and when I was seeing that heartbreaking scene, my heart missed a beat. Thank god, she was still alive! The moment, however she stood up I came to know that she was badly hurt, and she ran, three-legged, and stumbled. Poor dog! Before I realized to come to her, she had gone out of my sight. Thereafter, what worried me was whether she was still living or not. Was she lucky to survive? Or rather, someone kind enough had adopted her? Though I came to find her twice, all my efforts came to an naught, and our path were never across again, though.
Life is full of uncertainty. Sometimes, we kiss goodbye to those whom we hold dear to, but we don’t know which time that would become forever farewell we bid them. See ya on some occasions where it has a special meaning saying see you forever. I do miss them, some of my previous colleagues, the water bottles old man, and the poor injured puppy. Where did they go? And where on earth have they gone to ?

As a human, we can think, speak, even sometimes we go through too much, but still we hold hopes for a bright future, how lucky we are. By this comparison, aminals are much worse than us human beings, they have to please their owners just for food. And any inccident could kill them.

As you said before, we are much alike in characters, but I am not as good as you, I have a hot temper, and that is what I hate most about myself. But I tried and tried to be as gentle as I could, to my great disappointments, things didn't work out for me. I think that is the thing I took in from my mother the moment I was born, and even though I wanted to get rid of it, all I did was in vain. Now I 'd rather let it be.
