Gretel
was so listless as she vomited, discharged blood on her way to the doctor. Her
doctor said:
“There’s
almost no hope she would recover.”
Then
she wept silently, watching the doctor giving, providing the last, best
possible treatment.
Gretel
still breathed back home.
Si
Upik didn’t cry anymore. She pressed a silent kiss so long on Gretel’s face as though
to say farewell, as though she wished
to retrieve her back to life.
And
I thought of Princess Diana who was so loved by the whole world. But there’s no
one so close, so loved as Gretel - just a former unwanted doggy - by si Upik.
