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. 678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4cDuq7Onz

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. 678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMozud7dys7

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. 678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23KQiCZY5e

"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. 678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw25zsP2C8
