Rhehan walked a little further his mouth getting dry rapidly. The pain in his stomach was getting unbearable. He paused for a moment and looked at the little puppy, snuggling inside his hood. The puppy was so weak that its ribs were easily visible. "I have to work harder for him. He must me more hungry than me." He held the puppy in his arms, trying to divert his mind.
Rhehan sped up his steps, taking deep breaths, looking the animal"s cute face.
"So what should I call you? Ummm...You are so white! How about whity? No? You don"t like it..!!?....Umm...Pipi??....s.h.i.+ny???.....then how about snowy?"
The puppy wagged its tail happily and Rhehan smiled. "You like it!"
Rhehan was taking quick steps now, happily talking to the puppy. The puppy wagged its tail, everytime he liked something Rhehan spoke. Rhehan had by now, covered a long distance and he finally looked up. Not far away, he spotted a beautiful garden full of colorful flowers, with white tombs all across it.
"Snowy! I think we found something! Let"s go!" Rhehan happily ran towards the garden, holding the puppy tightly in his arms.
Soon, he reached a cemetery and looked all around the place excitedly. The puppy struggled out of Rhehan"s arms and Rhehan put him on the gra.s.s in confusion. Sonwy rapidly ran towards a huge tomb, its tongue sticking out.
"Snowy! Wait! Where are you going?" Rhehan sprinted behind the dog and suddenly the animal stopped and wagged its tail near the huge tomb. On the gigantic white tomb, all kinds of fresh exotic fruits were neatly placed.
Rhehan looked at the fruits hungrily and picked up a banana and peeled it. "Snowy! Hurry up! Eat before somebody watches us."
The two ate their heart out, while Rhehan also stuffed some fruits in his pockets and inside his costume. Soon, the two were more than satiated and sat happily near the beautiful flowers.
Suddenly a group of family came near the wbite tomb, startling Rhehan. He quickly hid Sonwy in his hood and hid behind another tomb.
"Where is the food?"
"Looks like somebody ate it?"
"Holy G.o.d! Father"s spirit came to eat the food!"
The group bowed down in reverence before the tomb, ecstatic looking at the finished food.
For another week, the event repeated! Everyday the lavish food was laid and Rhehan ate the food, feeding Snowy too. Untill one day, they were caught red-handed, sacring Rhehan to death. Though the family did not utter any word but Rhehan felt like a thief who was caught!
He ran off far away from the cemetary, carrying snowy in his arms. Luckily Rhehan had stored enough fruits in his costume, for them to last a few more days. Following that day, Rhehan lived on the busy streets of Bangkok. He begged for food and whatever he recieved, he shared it with Snowy! At times, they were lucky enough to get a good meal, while on somedays they slept empty stomach.
By this time, Rhehan"s mind had completely changed. He no longer remembered Xio lee or anybody else from his past. He woke up early in the morning with just one agenda in his mind, that was to feed himself and snowy! The tough struggle had made him forget everything else except to hunt for food and maintain his survival. It was already one month, since Rhehan had been shunted out by Grahams.
Suddenly one day, Rhehan accidently chewed a piece of gla.s.s, while eating a thrown away cake inside the dustbin. His mouth bled profousely and he fainted!
