He leaned onto the window sill, desperately waiting for them to appear in his line of vision. Letting out a deep sigh, he’d have sworn his senses that he’d heard the gate to the fenced villa swing open. False alarm. It was Ramu Kaka, the housekeeper who walked in with a pile of freshly laundered clothes. Oh yes, why did he get these clothes today? His eyes twinkled with hope, as he followed Ramu Kaka around with the hope that he’d get a clue.

That was quite a poignant one. Nice take on the prompt.
Thanks, Neha. Glad you liked it.
Simply beautiful Vinodini! I loved the innocence and longing that you brought to this tale of the tailed faithful. Sad yet so endearing!
Hey, thanks Kala. Aren't these tailed faithful absolutely darling?!
Touching story.
Life is tough without loved ones…
Indeed, life without your loved ones is a bitter pill to swallow.
Made me teary eyed Vinodini, poor lil fella, still waiting….
Aww…hugs, Sunila ?
That was sad. But at least Ramukaka cares.
Yeah, Ramu Kaka was some solace.
Aw I didn't scroll down at once and so the little doggie came as such a surprise. I thought it was a little boy. How very sad but beautifully written Vinodini.
Thanks, Tulika. That was the intent. I feel our pets are as dear as our kids, and they crave for just as much love as our human children.

Glad it struck a cord with ypu, Geets. Thanks!
So touching and perfectly sums up the importance of a pet in house of animal lovers.
Yeah, Indy. A home with a pet is the best one to go back to, isn't it?
My heart just melted into a gooey lump. It's so touching and beautiful at the same time. The way Baba is waiting makes my heart break.
Aww…thanks Raj. It indeed was a heart-wrenching scenario!
Loved the bittersweet tale, but how on earth did a dog light insense?!

Thanks, Barbara. The incense was lit by the house help, Ramu Kaka. Even the flower garlands were put around the picture by him as per an important Indian ritual. ?
