Since I was a
kid, I was always sick. So I didn’t have much friend because my mom didn’t let me
go anywhere further than our backyard. The only friends that I have are my cats…
no, my Mom’s cats. They all belong to my Mom. But when I was sixteen, my Mom was so busy that she didn’t have time to feed the new kitten. So she trusted me to feed
the kitten and she told me that I could name her whatever I liked. I was so
thrilled. I named her ‘Pui Fai’ because her fur was fluffy like cotton and Pui
Fai is also one of my favorite desserts so this name was Purrrrrfect.
Two
years later, Pui Fai grew bigger and prettier. She was so pretty that every
customer that came to our coffee shop couldn’t resist petting her. She was my
best friend and I was proud of her. I love her so… so… much. I've never planned that
one day I’ll lose her forever.
I remember that day clearly in my head like it
just happened yesterday. It was 8 p.m. on February 16, 2006. At this time every
day I always had my dinner alone and Pui Fai always kept my company, but today
she didn't show up. I looked for her everywhere in the house and in the backyard,
but I couldn't find her anywhere. I started to worry and suddenly the phone
rang. I picked it up. It was the gentleman next door calling. He asked for my Dad.
So I put my him on the phone and continued looking for Pui Fai. A moment later,
my Dad told me that my best friend was hit by a car. My heart was beating faster and
faster.
"Wh-what did you just say, Daddy?” I said. Couldn’t believe what I heard the first time.
My Dad replied nothing. He just took my hand and took me to the street in front of our house. He pointed at the brown thing on the street. Once I could see what it was, my heart was broken and my whole world fell down.
It was her!!!
My dearest friend was lying there lifeless. I almost fainted because of the blood, but I held myself together and reached down to her. Her body was so warm that I think she maybe sleeping. I tried calling her name. I knew that she always meows back when I call her name, but not this time. Her big blue eyes didn't even look back at me. And then I realized that there’ll be no more a little annoying creature that follows me everywhere I go, there’ll be no more purring engine to lull me to sleep, there’ll be no more a warm doll for me to snuggle on, there’ll be no more a warm fluffy pillow for me to cry on, and…there’ll be no more a friend that shares every moments in our life together.
She died too young, too soon. At first, I had no idea how to live without her. I was lost. It took 3 months for me to accept the truth that she’s gone forever. It’s a cycle of life. No one can conquer death. So I prayed for her. I don’t know what was waiting for her in the afterlife. I just only wish that she’ll be happy somehow. I miss her so much. Although she’s gone, she will always be in my heart, running and playing happily forever ever after.
