Musa
was a fervent kid of nine years. He was studying in grade 4 at a well-reputed
school in his town. He was bulky in weight and fair in color. He had small
sparkling eyes and tiny hair cut in a round shape. His reddish, glowing cheeks
depict his healthy lifestyle. He was the only son of his parents; therefore, he
was a much-pampered child of his home. His father was a landlord and could
afford all the possible luxuries of life. Luckily, he had parents to fulfill
all his desires immediately just after the moment he utters his wish in front
of them. Encompassing people amusingly used to relate Musa to “Aladin” and his
parents to the “Jinnie” that accomplishes Aladin’s wishes after coming out of
the lamp.
One
day during recess at school, one of Musa’s friends was bragging about his new
pet dog. He told all the other boys that his father bought him a new “Husky”
dog, which is grey in color, and large in size. He was the only one speaking at
that moment, while all the other boys were quietly listening to him attentively.
He further told them that the dog is extremely friendly and fluffy in touch,
and they both spend a lot of quality time together. Musa was avidly listening
to his friend and emulating his fate. He was quite inspired by his friend’s dog.
Suddenly, the bell rang and all students eventually approached their seats.
Lectures continued, but Musa remained mesmerized and entangled in the charms of
Husky. He was imagining its face and features, and planning to have a Husky for
himself too. He anxiously waited for the off bell and finally, it rang; Musa’s
patience at last came to an end.
Maa!
Maa! Musa was eagerly calling out his mother, as he entered his home’s
doorsteps. He even didn’t get off his shoes and his hefty school bag. He was
drenched with sweat and intensely blushing because of his inner excitement.
Enthusiastically, he was running here and there in search of his mother. At
last, she came out and embraced him in her arms. He was panting impatiently and
continuously saying “Maa! I want a Husky, buy me a husky, bring a husky
immediately……”. His mother laughed and kissed his head, mildly asking him to
calm down at first. She wiped off sweat drops from his forehead and gave him a
glass of water. She assured him to convey his Husky’s wish to his father at
night. Musa hugged his mother gratefully and started his countdown for the
sunset.
Finally,
the sun sat, Musa was sitting in front of his room’s window, recklessly waiting
for the car’s horn. Suddenly, he heard his father’s car horning outside his home.
His joy was brimming out and there was no parameter to measure his merriment at
that moment. He hastily ran to the main door and received his father. By
getting a glimpse of his dearest son at his entrance, his father was also
filled with joy. They both warmly embraced and exchanged greetings with each
other. Musa forcefully carried his father’s handbag and they both directed
towards the living room. After some time, the whole family gathered at the
dining table and had a delicious dinner altogether.
Musa
was staring at his mother’s face with a blend of excited and nervy emotions on
his face. He couldn’t wait more for her to commence the talk of the day. She
was also well aware of his son’s mental and emotional state at that moment.
Thus, she began uttering “Musa’s dad! Your dearest son wants to bring a husky
home. What is your opinion on his wish?” His father after chewing the bite of a
meal, gently inquired Musa that “Is this so my dear son?” Musa replied: “Yes
Baba! I want to enjoy with a pet dog just like my friend”. His father
leniently laughed and assured him to bring a Husky tomorrow morning. Musa’s
happiness was at its peak; he thankfully embraced both his parents and
wholeheartedly told them that they are the best parents in the world.
Somehow,
Musa spent that whole night in excitement. He also somehow managed to pass his
school timings. Though, it was extremely hard for him to cut that time. But
fortunately, time never stops running and finally, he received a Husky at his
home, welcoming him after his school hours. It was a huge dog, with a wolf-like
mouth and ears, tinted in grey and white blend. Though it was tightly nailed
down but was manifesting a picture of innocence and fright. Musa was blushing
with happiness after meeting his new friend. At first, the dog was frightened
by Musa’s approach and touch. But later it realized that his touch was
good and friendly. In a short time, Husky and Musa became best friends forever.
Musa named Husky “Champ” and used to feed him every day before embarking on his
journey to his school. Champ also used to eagerly wait for Musa to come back.
And after his arrival, both friends used to play together and also go
for a walk.
Champ
felt safe around Musa and vice versa. In a very short duration, they both found
their comfort zones in each other. Champ could easily recognize Musa from a
massive distance just by his smell. It had a special kind of love, affection,
and respect for Musa in its heart. It used to obey Musa’s commands everywhere
at any time. This also uplifted the champ’s love and respect in Musa’s heart as
well.
One
evening, they both were out for a walk. They were rambling on a street’s ends.
Suddenly a black vivo car stopped near Musa with a hush. Two adult men of ages
approximately 26 and 28 years, veiling their faces and having pistols in their
hands came out of the car. They brutally grabbed Musa and were forcefully
dragging him into the car. Champ, witnessing this entire act, started barking
loudly. It was bewildered and trying its best to protect its friend. It jumped
and tried to bite one of the men but unfortunately, it went all in vain.
Unluckily, they succeeded in kidnapping Musa. As they put him into the car,
they accelerated the car at its maximum speed.
Champ
was left behind, barking loudly. It ran after the car and tried its best to
approach them as soon as possible. But the car went away in a blink of an eye.
Despite this miserable loss, it didn’t lose hope and gathered its whole courage
without wasting a second. It started following the car’s peculiar smell. No
doubt, animals are created with strong sensations of smell, sight, and hearing.
And when it comes to dogs, undoubtedly, they are considered extremely
professional in this regard which is why they are used by humans in
interrogative procedures. Hence, Champ felt bad vibes from those people and was
worried for his friend. At last, after consistently smelling for 8 hours, Champ
encountered the place where Musa was kept after his kidnap.
It
was a building under construction and Musa was wrapped in ropes, tightly braced
around a chair. His mouth was filled with a cloth, and his hands and feet were
ruthlessly braced with the chair. His eyes were shedding tears, depicting his
awful condition. He was all alone among those vicious and ferocious men. He was
continuously asking God for his help. Kidnappers had called Musa’s father as
well and demanded 15 lacs for his safe recovery.
Champ,
after carefully analyzing the whole situation, proceeded to protect its best
friend. After finding no one around, it carefully moved toward the stairs and
reached the floor where Musa was kept. It hid itself behind a wall and waited
for the right time. After a consistent wait for 2 hours, finally, the
kidnappers went for eating. That was the perfect time for Champ to show its
presence. It promptly came out and started scratching the rope with its sharp
nails. Musa’s eyes were full of tears; no doubt Champ’s presence in that
situation was a blessing in disguise. At last the rope weakened, letting Musa
free out of that hurting prison. Without wasting a second, they both ran to the
stairs.
The
predicament was not over yet. Though, they safely stepped down but encountered
one of the kidnappers on their route. They didn’t stop but continued running
unless they reach a closed street. The kidnapper was also running behind them,
carrying a pistol in his hand. Finding them in that street, he fired in the air
to frighten them. Champ alarmed impulsively, stopped, came forward to Musa, and
started barking at the kidnapper. It jumped ferociously on the kidnapper,
aiming to bite him. As it hit the man, awfully the pistol was fired and
unfortunately, both fell down. The kidnapper was badly injured with Champ’s
savage bite and Champ was dead with the ruthless fire of a human being.
At the same time, Musa’s father also appeared on the spot with the police. Police grabbed all the kidnappers and took them to the prison. Now the dark clouds of predicament blew away. Musa’s father was thankfully crying and embracing his kid. Everyone was grateful, except Musa who lost his loyal and sincere friend, in protecting him from the barbarian world of humans. The next day, they buried Champ with a heavy heart and scripted on its grave that “A sincere dog, Champ, resting here, who was the true expression of humanity in human’s barbarity”.
