#FirstLook | Coming Home: The Gopi Diaries by Sudha Murty

 

Suddenly, the door opened and two

men came in. One was young and

handsome and the other was old and

gentle. Although they spoke a different

language, I understood everything.

The old man said, ‘Choose your puppy,

Rohan.’

The young man looked at all of us and

said, ‘It’s so hard to choose. They are all

equally lovable.’ He sighed, ‘But I can only

adopt one.’ He sat and rested his hand on

the floor as he wondered what to do.

I looked at his eyes and I knew that he

was puzzled. So I said, ‘Don’t worry.’

I went near his hand and sniffed it.

 

He smiled, picked me up and held me

close to his chest. He kept his other hand

on my head and said, ‘I want this one.’

I wondered what he meant. He kept

caressing my stomach and my head

and I felt so comfortable with him. He

reminded me of the way my mother

nuzzled me.

In a few minutes, I was fast asleep.
