MADE FOR EACH OTHER by Ruchi Singhal

Ruchi is an Engineer-in-making (E 7/III yr) but with a lot of other things on her mind. One such thing has taken form of this little 'love story'.

Getting up early is the hardest job for me, but as usual Johnny woke me up early this morning too. I don’t know what pleasure he gets in going for those mundane “morning walks”. Moreover the nefarious fellow always tricks me into accompanying him. He always says that there is a beauty in the nature, but oh! what beauty, the vicinity is the same everyday.

Today again we are here on the grounds of his beloved ‘exotic’ park. I was trying to keep myself from dozing off when all of a sudden a whiff of breeze with actual ‘exotic’ air stormed me. In order to find the source of that calling aroma, I turned around.

What I saw was beyond imagination. There stood before me the best creation of God. The words ‘glorious’ and ‘attractive’ seemed Lilliputian in front of her. Her fur coat & open curly hair made her look like an angel. Overwhelmed by her beauty I somehow gathered courage to go near her. Although speechless, I was somehow able to convey my words of appreciation to her. Seemingly glad she gave a million dollar smile.

Convinced by the Hindi saying ‘hansi to fasi’, I almost jumped with joy. I even started making plans of our marriage. There will be a huge list of guests, delicious food items and a lot of melodrama. And the title would read “Tommy weds laika”.

So what if dogs don’t marry. I really hope our puppies will be as exquisite as she is.
