Farewell my friend~
Remember two years ago I had an argument with my mother regarding my pet, Abie? Mother at that moment was still not used to having a pet dog at home and instructed me to give Abie away, much to my agony and pain.
Abie was brought under the care and concern of a good friend of my boyfriend, and he accepted Abie with so much joy and delight, bought good dog food and accessories for Abie’s use. His name is Steven. However, his relationship with Abie was terminated to an early end, as two weeks later, my mother finally realised Abie was part of the family rather than a pest in the house, and persuaded me to fetch Abie back home. Steven was disappointed, as he liked Abie very much but as an act of courtesy he returned my dear dog to me and my family.
Steven was very close to Fei, my boyfriend and as a result, I know him better than most of Fei’s friends. Steven constantly asked about Abie and I had always invited him to come to my house to visit Abie. But he was always too occupied to drop by.
One and a half year later, Steven suddenly showed up in front of my house and greeted me and Fei. A curious and nosy Abie ran to the compound, sniffed the air surrounding Steven, barked ferociously at him but instantly wagged her tail hard and fast when she recalled who Steven was. Steven grinned and said, “I told you Bie will remember me, although 2 weeks was short but I was once her owner too!”.
….
That was the final time we met and talked to Steven. A week later he went to a trip overseas and was met with a horrible accident where a thug stabbed him with a knife several times. He passed away on his way to the hospital. Both Fei and I were devastated to hear the news. He is indeed a warm and nice person, a good friend, and both of us shall miss him dearly.
