The four of us were sitting in front of the Mandir (temple) at home and praying, my cousin's hands shook as she held onto the book of Ganesh Aarti (Indian deity), my other cousin ringing the bell and both me and my sister sat there with folded hands, all of us wishing that she pulls through. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRnPdclbB3

It was the ninth day of Navaratri, (Navaratri is a Hindu festival that spans nine nights and is celebrated every year. Young girls are invited to the devotees' houses, where they wash their feet as a mark of respect, and then offer food to them) we had just come home after a substantial meal next door, smiling and comparing our inexpensive gifts. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2TeuxKeow

We stopped short, our eyes landing on the small bundle of black, white and fawn coloured, barely five months old, floppy, lying on the ground in the living room, breathing heavily. Next to her, my mother and buasa (aunt) sat, injecting her with medicines and slowly dripping water in her mouth. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Yu7TF5gm8

"It's Navaratri and all the girls are worshipped today, then why did they take her?" She asked.

"She'll be happy wherever she goes", she continued on. "Only two months with her but the pain of losing her is unbearable", she finally looked at me, as she whispered with tearful eyes. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyZSM5aegi

"We heard a lot of crying yesterday, I called your father and found out your relatives' dog died, the way everyone was crying, we thought someone passed away." and then he laughed, I was speechless, I just stood there and stared at him, thinking had it been my cousin here instead of me she would've effed him up good but I just left without saying anything. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTkMSTbMqq
