I have always been a movie fanatic and one of my favourites are that of romance and tragedy!In my sleep or also during the day,I have always tried to imagine that what would it be like if someone very close to me died.I always dreamt that I would be heartbroken and wouldn't at all stopped crying.I actually fancied someone being taken away from me,so that people all around me would feel sorry and console me.I have seen all types of emotional movies to happy movies,I have seen twins being separated,lovers being taken away by the Al Mighty,emotional reunions through letters and patched up divorces. Little did I know that the pain would be so great that I wouldn't feel like living any longer.........
It was the 15th of March,the day my final results were to be announced.I am not someone who is scared of ones result.I went to the notice board to check out my results.I silently prayed to God in my mind pleading him to give me above 95%.
But did God listen to me? No!Blimey I had received 93.4%.I could feel tears swelling up in my eyes,I couldn't help it,all my hard work gone into waste.My mother had promised me to gift me a dog if I scored above 95% in my board results.I went back home really depressed.This was the third time I had failed to get a dog!I went back home really depressed with tears in my eyes.On reaching home I had the shock of my life."Apparently" my mom was so sure that I would receive above 95% that she had bought the dog three weeks ago but being an infant it could not have been discharged before so it came back home that day.The dog (which was a Golden Labrador Yippee)came running up to me,its tongue hanging out and its tail waging rapidly.I got to keep the dog after all!
Four years passed,Noddy(my dog) and I are the best of friends.We both are great movie fanatics!One movie we have in common is Marley and Me-a beautiful movie adapted from that of John Grogan's novel.We have differences too like he is on the plump side whereas I am a bit thin,He enjoys staying at home,knocking things out in the courtyard whereas all day long I am outside sometimes taking him with me,socialising with my friends.We have always been the best of friends,the feeling I have for him is indescribable.He like more than being the other half of me,more than a twin of mine.He is more precious to me than my life.I could have swapped places with him if he ever died.The problem is-He died and I?I could not swap places with him.
I could not believe it that my dream was coming true!Only it wasn't a dream,it was more like a nightmare!Noddy died.He died without saying goodbye to me,he died without any warning,he died when he still had a mere 10years left to survive.But fate had snatched that from him and from me.Why did fate turn out to be so ugly?That day,that day my tears were unstoppable,they kept on flowing,gushing out of my eyes like water from a tap.I even extended to the fact of believing of receiving letters by him like Holly from Gerry in the movie PS:I Love You.But who was I kidding?He was after all a dog!After a week ,I still expected him to survive miraculously like that in films but he didn't. I cried and cried.People told me that I would fall ill and gave me another dog saying that I too will have great memories with the second dog-but I did not accept it because Noddy wasn't just any dog...........He was my lover,my twin,my other part of the body without whom I cannot function thus coming to the conclusion that he was greater then God,my creator.Weeks passed and I kept on deteriorating in class.I still had those nightmares about the car accident and was often caught day-dreaming in class.I was thinking of ways I could have saved my dog thus sending me into a case of depression.
A year has passed by I may have almost got over him.But the slit it left in my heart hasn't yet decreased.I have a new dog now.Her name is Tania,she too is a golden Labrador.She is good and obedient and not as much as naughty as Noddy,Tania and I may not share the same likes and dislikes but I know she will be my companion for years to come.
PS:Noddy,You weren't my companion,you were my soul mate.RIP.
