My dog
Sheela looked out of her window.She really liked that fresh,cold air.When it entered in the house.Sheela felt strange freshness.She wanted to take more of it.But from behind she clearly heard Anmol's voice.He was playing in his room.She didn't want him to come out and get wet.Sheela was very concern about his health.After all he was underweight.She had to take proper care.She didn't want him come there.She wanted that air but still if she had to close the window.Then Anmol entered in the room and he wanted to go near the window.He started to take out his head.But Sheela stopped him and closed that window."You shall not put your head out of that window.You will catch cold.""Mom please I am not ill now.I want to go out.""No;you are not going anywhere."Anmol watched his Mom going in the kitchen.Sheela could not let Anmol watched his Mom going in this weather.When all other children could play outside.Anmol hated to be kept in home like a prison.But no one let him get out.They all kept saying that he would get sick.But he was feeling perfectly healthy.He just wished his dog would come back.He always used to play with him.Anmol just didn't know when his dog would return.His Papa promised to bring back his dog.But Papa had not came yet.Then someone told him that his Papa died due to heart attack.He accepted it.He knew that he could not bring back his Papa.But he wanted his dog back.Anmol ran inside to ask his Mom about his dog.Sheela was cooking in kitchen.
Sheela could easily feel that Anmol had entered in the kitchen.Now adays Anmol hardly came into kitchen and asked for food so it was good sign.She gave him sweet smile."So Anmol what do you want to eat today?"Anmol was irritated by that question.Now a days Anmol didn't feel hungry at all.Every time he entered in kitchen,his Mom always started forcing food on him.Sheela could clearly saw on his face that food was not the issue that brought him here.Sheela"What do you want Anmol?"Suddenly Anmol lost his interest in that question.By looking at Sheela's face he felt that asking about dog would just upset her so he ran in to hall.Sheela looked at him.Her face looked surprised.But she didn't have much time to waste on Anmol.She wanted to reach office.She was very upset since her babysitter had not come.Finally that maid came.Sheela explained her everything.Sheela had to tell her each detail because it was that maid first day.Then Sheela started getting ready for office.Finally when Sheela got ready completely.She gave Anmol a nice kiss and said"Bye."When Sheela started going out,Anmol got upset.After all his dog was important to him.But it was just a useless creature to Sheela.Sheela would never understood.Anmol had to ask about it because it was important to him.Anmol"Mom when will Bobby come?"Sheela suddenly got nervous and scared.Sheela"Honey can't you forget that dog?""But Mom I love him and I can't live without him.Papa was going to bring him,But he is dead so you have to bring my Bobby."Sheela was very upset now.She looked at maid.Sheela"This is Minakaki.She will take care of you and act like a good boy.From tomorrow you are going to school so read those note books.I have brought for you.I want you to obey everything Minakaki tell you."There were tears in Sheela's eyes.Anmol knew that his Mom was sad about Papa.Anmol was also feeling sadness inside his heart.But he was not going to show it.After all due to his father's death,he was now only man in the family.He had to control him feelings.If he had started crying,it would create major problem for his Mom.He just gave her sweet smile and said"Don't worry Mom.I will stay with Minakaki.I will be just fine."Sheela once again looked at her maid.She never wanted to leave her son with unknown maid.In this circumstances she had no choice expect going on job.After all she needed income,she could not expect that her father-in-law would take care of her needs.She was not alone.Anmol was her responsibility.Her father-in-law could not able meet all his increasing demands.Anmol needed good education prestigious school and Sheela was going to provide him everything.Sheela stood up with that decision and went away.
As soon as Sheela went away,Minakaki started asking questions to Anmol about his family.Anmol tried to satisfy her curiosity as best as he could.But when she began to ask him questions about his Papa;he began to hate it.He wanted to just forget everything about his Papa.He wanted to find Bobby.Anmol"Can we talk something different?""Oh so sorry.You must have missing your Papa.""No not Papa.I am missing my dog Bobby."Minakaki looked shocked.But then she controlled herself and smiled"Don't worry.Your Mom will find him.Now go to your room and study."Then without looking at Anmol Minakaki started looked for remote of television.Minakaki smiled when she found her favorite serial and started watching.Then she suddenly stood up and asked Anmol"Do you like to eat your lunch now?""Now."Anmol looked at watch.It was only eleven o'clock.""Okay okay.Stop whining.When you like to have your lunch?"Anmol liked this freedom.Sheela would have forced him to eat lunch at twelve o' clock.Minakaki had given him full freedom.Anmol was happy about it.Anmol"2 o'clock."Anmol thought that like Sheela.Minakaki also screamed on him and tell him."It's not allowed."But nothing happened like that she just nodded her head and went back on sofa to watch her television and Anmol was free again.Anmol started going out.But Minakaki stopped him.Minakaki"Where are you going?You are not allowed to go out like this.""I am searching for Bobby my dog.Actually I am missing him so much."Now Minakaki looked upset."You can't go out like this.Your Mom will surely find him.""No.Mom is so upset after Papa's death.She will not able to do it."Minakaki finally stood.Then she closed the television."Okay let's go.But first tell me.Bobby's description."Anmol was about to describe Bobby when he remembered photo which he had taken during the picnic.In that photo Bobby was clearly standing with Anmol.He ran to find that album.When he came with photo,he found Minakaki was waiting with new plan.Minakaki"Where do you keep dog's food?"Anmol searched out of pack and found his box.Then he found dish to put food inside it.He came out with it.Minakaki smiled happily.Minakaki took out dog food from that box and put it in that dish.Then Minakaki put that dish in corner of that door.But then she suddenly got confused.She looked at neighbour Minakaki asked Anmol"I hope if I put this dish here.Your neighbour will not mind it."Anmol smiled happily.He liked that idea.He was sure his neighbour would not care.Bobby used to love that dog food.Now he would surely come.Minakaki"Now young boy you have to eat your food."Anmol willingly started nodding his head.Today he was suddenly began to feel hungry.
