Love-a four legged word.

She was sitting in the couch seeing their wedding album. Harish just came in from his office, though it has been two years since they got married he still admires her with the same love and freshness. As he moved closer , she was in the last page of the album in which they both were standing . A tear drop fell into the picture when she moved her finger in the gap between them in the picture. Harish understood her wretchedness of not having a child. He could do nothing but hug her and give her the warmth of his love.

As he hugged her she broke out into tears. Nisha then got up and brought a cup of coffee to him. He could see her still being sad. He moved her chin up saying that she is going to have a baby on her birthday. She was baffled as her birthday is on nextweek.When she asked for the possibility he held her hand and said "Trust me baby , I promise you",and kissed her forehead. Though he said, he was not sure of what he is going to do.

Days passed, It was the night before her b'day..Nisha was asleep and Harish was preparing the room with lights and balloons. When the clock striked 12 , he kissed her cheek saying "Happy B'day My queen". She opened her eyes and hugged him saying "Love You My King" . He asked her whether she remembers about the gift he is going to give her.
She shoke her head and searched the entire room but found nothing. SHe then looked at him in vague. He tied a cloth around her eyes and took her to their living room.

She was excited and equally suprised.In their living room there was a new guest who was peeking a boo. He took him in his hand and moved him closer to her face when she opened the cloth , without her knowledge tears rolled down her cheeks. She took him from him and rubbed her nose against his wet nose during when Harish rubbed his face against his back. Nisha named him Prince. When Harish looked at her she said "In Our kingdom I'm your queen and you are the King and so He is Our Prince".

For the first time he saw ecstacy in her face. Years passed on Prince became a part of their life. On the same day after two years she was happy equally. Yes, She is pregnent. After a year on her b'day they came home with a baby girl in their hand, When he said that she is born on her b'day she closed his lips with her finger and said "It's not my b'day dear, Today is when Prince came into our life, And it's because of him". Prince was so happy to have a sister.

But as days passed the couple began to care more for their baby girl and began to treat Prince as a dog,which they never did before. Knowing the truth that he was lacking importance he quit eating properly leading to ill health. He occupied the corner of the house and remained alone. One day, When nisha and Harish were having tea in their balcony discussing about their life being happy and complete now, Nisha said that she is having a sense of something wrong with Prince. Harish seconded it by uttering the act of him refusing for the morning walk. They both decided to take him to the vetenarian.

As they were talking, they could hear Prince's bark being fierceful and their baby crying. They thought that prince is hurting their baby and ran downstairs. They saw Prince's mouth full of blood and the room sprayed with blood droplets. Unknowing the truth Harish took a steel rod near him and beated Prince forcefully. Being sick he fell dead. As He ran towards their baby's bed and found nothing happened to her he was baffled. Nisha checked with her hands , legs and everything and found no dog bite or even scratches. Later they saw the floor which had tored pieces of snake, that had came in through the window from the tree.

Inorder to protect the baby( His sister) Prince tored him apart . Without knowing this he killed him as an act if hastiness and selfishness. For a moment he thought It was his baby and forgot he was her brother and once he was his son. Prince had always loved the baby and his family. After realising his mistake Harish and Nisha could do nothing but felt sorry. But a sorry could never bring a dead soul alive. But Prince's place in their house remained the same forever. He still lives with them in their memories.

"Dog is the only person who loves you more than he loves himself".
