Myself and my family as well as Mr. Alvin and his family were very astonished by this rebirth and used to tell this story to everyone whom we met. Now whenever Jolly came to our house we used to call her Hero’s mother. Similarly in Mr. Alvin’s house they used to call Jolly as Hero’s mother.
Now the relationship between the two puppies’s had a name – Mother and Son. It used to look strange because mother was younger than the son. Still this relation had a very strong cord. It was a deep relation that was re-established by almighty. No body could dare break this relation now. It was a reunion of a mother and child.
HERO and Jolly always used to live together and only in night they used to come to their respective houses. One-day mom, dad and myself were going to one of my friend’s house. I took Mr. Alvin’s permission and kept HERO in his house. Mr. Alvin was reading a fiction book at that time. He gave milk bread to HERO and his mother and again got deeply indulged into reading the novel. He was reading the latest edition of J. K. Rowling’s “ Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire “. This was the fourth book on the Harry Potter series. The interest of Harry Potter series was such that if one starts reading the book one would never leave it till the novel is finished. Harry Potter was a wizard and at times I got a feeling that he is doing everything in our house now. Everything that revolved around HERO looked like under influence of Harry Potter. As long as one is engrossed in this novel one feels one is in a different world where everything and anything is possible.
Mr. Alvin was similarly lost in that book ,in his own different world ,when at 11 pm I rang his doorbell to fetch back HERO. Mr. Alvin’s family was not at home and he was alone in house. He was so deeply engrossed in reading that he had forgotten to switch on the light outside his house also. Mr. Alvin opened the door. I told him sorry, as he had to take care of HERO for such a long time. Mr. Alvin was so busy reading the book that he had forgotten that HERO was in his house. I called loudly “HERO “ but I did not get any response from inside the house. Mr. Alvin said, “ See, looks like both have slept off “. I thought let me go inside and lift HERO in my arms and carry him home.
I went inside and saw the plate of milk and bread was there but both mother and son were not there. Now Mr. Alvin got tensed up. I called Dad and mom. Dad and mom also started calling “ HERO. …HERO “ and than we started calling “ Jolly. …Jolly “. But there was no sign of both. Mr. Alvin was also looking for them all around the house.
Mr. Alvin lived in a big house with multiple rooms. We all kept on peeping in each room and kept on calling loudly by now “ HERO…HERO “, “ Jolly …Jolly “. There was no sign or response from the mother and son we could only hear echo of our own voices. By hearing our voices and shouts slowly other neighbours also started gathering in Mr. Alvin’s house. Every one was calling for HERO and Jolly. Every one knew about the mother and son relationship between HERO and Jolly. Mr. Singh, Mr. David, Mrs. Rossini etc all started talking amongst themselves and saying maybe Jolly fled away with Hero.
Although initially we did not like this kind of talk by neighbours but slowly similar doubt started to creep into our minds also. Suddenly it occurred in my mind that there was a friend of HERO and Jolly called Sheru and we could take his help. White coloured Sheru had black spots on his body. Sheru had a very peculiar strength. Standing at one place he could smell things up to 10 kilometers. Sheru was Mrs. Ruby’s pet. Sheru was a well-built alshesian dog. If he used to once bark on any street dog they used to stop coming to that street. But HERO and Sheru were very close friends.
Hearing all this commotion in Mr. Alvin’s house even Mrs. Ruby came there. I told Mom, Dad and Mr. Alvin that we could take Sheru’s help in this. Mom and Mrs. Ruby were friends. Mom asked Mrs. Ruby would she allow Sheru to help us in locating HERO and Jolly. Mrs. Ruby also liked HERO a lot and she promptly agreed for this. Mrs. Ruby immediately brought Sheru. We all told Sheru that it was his turn now and he should try his best in locating HERO and Jolly.
