Recently I have started jogging. Usually I do it in the evenings. On one side of the road there are huge naked mountains and the other side all the houses. The area where I jog is in between two roads. The place is filled with many green trees, small plants and some very exotic flowers. The area stretches up to 2. 5 km on each side. I continued with this routine daily and did not want to break the chain in between like I have done several times before. One evening while jogging I heard a strange noise near the trees. It was scary as not many people were around that area. Again the next day I heard the same noise and did not dare to find out. When the next evening came and it was my turn to go to the same spot, I was not able to decide whether to go further or change my path. But I went ahead with my jogging and heard the same noise again. This time I decided of finding out the reason behind the noises. After going near the trees I could see two button eyes shining brightly and staring into my eyes. Slowly the creature came out and revealed itself completely. It was the cutest kitten I had ever seen. Though I am not an animal lover still I liked the kitten. Later I continued with my jogging and forgot about the kitten. That night I was not able to sleep as those two button eyes were haunting me the whole night. As if they wanted to say something but I was not able to decode it. Next evening I went ahead with my jogging and avoided the path which led to the kitten. Again I was sleepless that night. So the next evening I decided of going on the same path where I had found the kitten. The kitten was at the same place. May be we had some connection because no one else was looking at the kitten. I felt a sense of responsibility towards the kitten. But due to my fear of animals I could not forward a helping hand. This continued for few days. Everyday the kitten used to come whenever I crossed that path. I thought when no one else is bothered then why should I? Later after a lot of introspection I realized that I should help the kitten. It was time to listen to my heart.. I had a mission the next evening. I was at the same spot but I could not see the kitten. May be I was being too selfish and the kitten might have died of hunger. But when I turned around I saw the kitten looking at me with a ray of hope. With great courage I got hold of the kitten. It was very soft and yes it did not hurt me. I felt a familiar feeling after holding the kitten in my arms. Now we both are inseparable. Thanks to my kitten I have become a pet lover still I have not given a name to my kitten. I think kitten sounds good…. .
