IT'S LEFT UNWRITTEN


That evening as usual, Heidi rides her bicycle along the seaside. The sunset still shine brightly which makes as if the sea water has it twinkling diamond in it.
Watching the birds’ flies at the skies went to their nowhere to found home, she was amazed by the scenery. The sunset turns into reddish from yellowish. She began to sit and put her bicycle down next to her. Not far from where she have her feet rest, is a little girl with its dog having there fun time together playing chase and run. They seems so close to each other even though without any words to exchange, the dog looks like that he understands the every single words from its master.
Heidi began to smile at this and without her consent, a single tear drops began to drop running through her cheeks. Her hearts pounds heavily as though as she had just finished a hundred metres race. Indescribable feeling. She hates this feeling.
At this point, she began to sense that something is missing. Benji is not there with her. She is alone through the loveliness of the evening.  Same as that little girl, Heidi and Benji are close to each other and Benji never fails to serves his master to the best until his last breath. What makes Heidi still feel the pounding in her heart when it comes to Benji is that she was not there when Benji have his eyes close. She has to go back to the college. Deep inside her heart, she knew Benji is going weaker and weaker.  That Sunday morning greet to Benji was the last greet.
On Tuesday and through all the weekday, her parents have to keep this as a secret and they decided not to tell Heidi until she came home from her college that week. Far in her heart, and with the dream that she had, Heidi knew Benji was gone. Already gone. She sends messages to her dad asking how Benji was but there was no reply. She had to call. At first there was no answer, but then her daddy had to tell everything to Heidi.
**
The family gather around Benji for the last time as Benji getting weaker and weaker. Sometime he breathes and sometime he doesn’t. Lying motionless. Dad knew Benji couldn’t make it for the weekend and Heidi is not there. 
“Benji, we are sorry for everything. We have done everything that we could. I know you understand. Heidi is not here and you know she will be coming back only on Friday.  As for now, we like to say thank you for everything that you have done to us. Benji, you will be always be remembered”.
At this point, Benji with his last and final strength wagged his tail to show that he understands. Then, he had gone. Gone forever.
**
Benji was attacked by the dog-fever and the veterinian could not do anything further. Anyhow, Benji was quite strong to fight until his last breath. Before Heidi has to went back to her college again, she feel relieve a little because she is there with Benji through his sickness.
How she missed Benji when every time the memory of this cool dog slip through her mind. Everything happens so fast.
Not everything can be put into words. Now, Heidi still remembers the day that she chooses Benji. He was such an independent, handsome and plum puppy.
***
The sound of the waves awakes Heidi and put her mind back again to the seaside. It’s getting darker. Heidi had to continue to take a ride home… alone..without Benji with her this time.
(Rest in peace my friend.)
