Story line
This life/story
is dedicated to my daughter Sony Gudiya. This story is about our little
princess. Globalization had changed our ordinary family life forever. An-aged
fathers struggle to give his only daughter good education and a secured life. After
the court battle for his daughter’s custody, will he ever live with his
estranged wife? My life/story has a moral lesson for Indian home makers. This
is my first fiction and I wrote with three different ending!
I was a happy
kid, being the youngest in the family I was pampered a lot. Like any other kids
I played and studied well. I really enjoyed my childhood. I had a pussy cat for
company. She gave me so much happiness. It seems someone had decided to get rid
of the kitten. This was a common practice in Kerala, usually after cat gives
birth. In those days (45 years ago) it was not possible to get sterilized a dog
or cat. Kitten found her way to our home. I welcomed her. She was a cute little
one. She had light green colored eyes with full of curiosity, pink lips and
white fur coat. Y shaped black thick line running from both side of her ears to
her nose. There was instant liking between us. When she came to our home she
was very weak. I like tabby cat. I give her every day one glass of my milk
without the knowledge of my mother. She was always hungry .apart from her food
I shared my food with her .I pampered her a lot. With lots of love and food she
soon put on weight. She was always with me. While studying, eating, when I go
for swimming or fishing in our compound (it runs into few acres of land). Our
house was in the middle of a paddy field. If I am swimming she will wait for me
to finish my bath. She was more like a dog to me .in the raining season shallow
place get filled up with water. That was my pond! When fishing I take big fish
for me to fry. Small fishes I always give it her. She liked masala fried fish too!
I had noticed one thing; whenever I talk to her .it was usually a question that
I ask her .she always answered me in her monosyllables. Me-aow! That means she
was listening to me. Even though I never understood her language I took her
answer for yes. When I go to school, she accompanies me till the main gate. In
the evening she eagerly waits for me at the gate .she will keep purring at me with
her meao! I know she want me to carry her back home. Together we share my
evening Tiffin .At night she slept with me; she was too good to cuddle up. I
like her snuggling up with me .she was always warm. My father had no problem
with my pussycat but my mother was allergic to her. If I give her kiss my
mother would shout at me, .she says if the cat’s hair get into my intestine it
will give stomach pain. I never believed in her word .at least I never had
stomach pain by kissing my pussycat. In return my cat will gives me a good lick
on my cheek. I liked it; it was as if rubbing fine emery papers on my cheek.
Try it once you will like it.
Since we were living in the
middle of a paddy field, on rainy days there used to be lot of water snake and
rat snakes. Sometimes my pussycat brings rat snake under my cot .she would not
allow any body to get close to her when she keep her booty. Most of the time we
drive her away .she will either take her booty with her or leave her booty to
us and escape. Most of the time it used to be rat snake it was not a big
problem for us. Until one day, she brought a big king cobra; black in color
about more than two meter in length. She caught him as usual by his neck and
took it to her favorite place, under my cot! When we tried to drive her out
.She made, not grunting but somewhat similar sound she produced. My elder
brother gave her one whip with his belt .She left the cobra in our bed room and
escaped .Now it was our turn to face the king cobra .We both jumped on to the
bed. Snake started hissing at us. My brother threw his black belt at it. It bit
on it. Again we then threw heavy pillow on it. Snake went into our big bathroom
.we both took brick and pinewood stick and went after the snake. Cobra was very
much alive. To avoid cobra escaping we locked bathroom door! For washing, we
had high raised stone pillar. About 2'x2x2' pillar. Cobra ran around the
bathroom .it was trying to escape we jumped on to the pillar, we first stoned
him then beat him to death. There was lots of yelling and struggling to kill
one cobra .it was scary. That was my first kill at the age of ten-.my brother
was around seventeen year old.
Everything was fine. Perfect
until my pussycat started giving birth. At times four to six of them! I like
each one of them. When pussycat gives birth to kittens, I took care of her,
like getting her food at her place. Cleaning mess made by the little ones.
After one month, kittens started moving around the house. They made mess all
over the place. Besides we had to be very care full not to step on them. The
most pain full part was that I had to leave the small one at the market place.
That was the usual practice at that time in Kerala. No blue cross or pet
adoption center was there.
At market place, they
will get to eat left over fish. Sometime small children or animal lovers take
them home. Stray dogs or vehicle could kill some of them. Leaving small kitten
to fend for them made me feel sad. I begged my parents to keep all the five
with us. They told me that was impossible. A cat gives birth every six months.
I had no other choice but to leave the small one at the market place. Hardly
only one and half months old kittens … five of them…. When pussycat was away I
took them in a big bag and went to fish market .I did not wanted to leave them
at the market palace then come back home. It could get killed by a stray dog or
run over by vehicles. I want to find them home. I went on asking little
children whether they like to take my kitten home. Even though children liked
my kitten, their parents objected taking my kitten home. I could find home for
only three of them. I took back two of the kitten back to my home. At home
pussycat was very much worried she went searching all over the place. When I
returned her two kittens she kept asking me for the missing one. MEAO? MEAO? I
had to apologize her. I really felt sorry for her. My parents insist that I
dispose two others also. I asked them to give time to dispose. In our nearby
locality I went searching for shelter. In few days’ time I found people willing
to adopt the other two. I was lucky. I found home for my kittens. After one
month my ....
