DEAR DIARY: In loving memory of my chickens



By Sadaf Faiz


I wonder how, but that’s the way things are! I purchased them with all my love and care. Brought them home, showed them to all, brought them up with utmost sincerity and blind love — though, the period was too short and one will be surprised that the love which I gave them lasted only a day but still seems everlasting.

Their tiny steps, soft body and innocent face with short beaks will remain in my mind forever.

I wonder, when someone says “just forget them” ... How could one forget someone, whom he loves... We don’t love someone to forget them afterwards, and animals are no exception.

I handed them over to someone else, sent them away to prevent them from coming more near me, I don’t want to remember them, but each time I try to forget them ... their memory seems to come back with more intensity

Oh God, why did my eyes catch their sight? Oh! I wish I could have just bypassed them but purchasing them was the most beautiful mistake, I have ever made, because after all ... I can cherish their memories now. But why do these memories bring tears to my eyes, maybe, because I can’t see them, can’t feel them, can’t play with them, can’t get mad at them anymore. But what I believe is that, the one you love, never departs from you.

Apparently, though they have departed from me they are always with me. So why should I cry for something which has never left me.

Oh it’s really beautiful, they are in front of me I can see them, can feel them, can play with them ... the only difference is that ... my eyes are closed!
