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.)
