Poccky’s Crush.

Write about your first crush.

When we are in this world slowly growing like all other living organisms we understand we are being attached to some deep attachment or sometimes even light fling. We understand slowly and tenderly the concept of infatuation, crush and many more. We always believe human beings have a complexity which animals are deprived of. Today I want to say a short story about a small puppy whom we have named poccky.

So poccky was a small tiny puppy living in our locality, playing and running.. here the most important part is he was alone. Someone has left him as he or she couldn’t find his parents. Our locality is wonderful everyone used to take care of Poccky and shower him with love in the form of biscuits, chicken, dog food and everything a dog would love to eat or play with.

But in spite of everything Poccky seemed a little down for a few days, and some kind of unusual behaviour was noticed by Sonal the neighbourhood boy. Poccky was not at his usual self. His active self completely vanished and he was sitting quiet and yes he was eating but whatever was in front of him… He was not going from door to door to play or ask for food. Nobody understood his problem and not even Sonal.

The only difference they could figure out was Poccky was now grown up. Not fully but much more than being a puppy. Days were passing and everyone was sad due to this unusual behaviour of Poccky.

One day a female dog stood by the pond of the locality. At first, Poccky could not figure it out and then he understood it was a dog a female. Shy poccky was happy within. He understood this is the first female dog he is seeing in his life. Ever since has grown he has never been in touch with dogs. It was all humans who were around him giving him food and caring for him best. But his female dog was unusual the brown hair on the body seemed golden to Poccky and as it was sunset time it looked as if she was the sun Goddess. Poccky was amazed by her Grace and her divinity. He kept on looking at her. Awestruck.

The female dog felt shy and hide herself behind a tree immediately. This hide-and-seek was going on for a few days. And after a few days, Poccky was unable to find the female dog. He searched everywhere, every probable place but no she was missing from the entire locality it seems.

Sad Poccky again depressed sat under a tree. Suddenly he saw a few local neighbourhood people carrying A dog on their shoulders somewhere. Curious and sad Poccky run behind them to see what was happening, who is the dog? To his surprise, he saw it was the female dog. Yes, the same female dog whom he liked and adored for days was no more. They were carrying her to bury her.

That night Poccky cried. All the people of the neighbourhood tried to comfort her but alas nothing happened. Maybe only she could heal him.

After a few days, Poccky also passed away. He couldn’t take this. Hence that female dog was Poccky ‘s first crush.

Did he meet him in the story of infinity? Could he say to her what he feels for her?

We don’t know we can just hope that they meet again and rebirth in the same locality and stays longer fulfilling their dream.
