our parents to agree for the dog considering their stiff resistance to the idea all this while but there had to be a way of convincing them next day onwards we started getting up early sharing and helping our parents in all household work acting obedient caring and loving in a couple of days our mother was able to realize that there had to be a reason for this phenomenal change in her daughters but she could not find the reason as both of us remained tight lipped and did not reveal anything to her one day while eating dinner my father asked my mom why are the children so quiet and behaving differently mom did not reply as she wanted to finish her meal and go to bed early we followed the suit and woke up early the next morning since the fifteen day timeframe was about to end soon we took our father by a surprise when he found us sitting beside him chanting the ganesh mantra as he diligently finished his puja father asked what is the matter our heads were down eyes glued to the floor and in a low pitch we gave him the answer we had of course made the request of having a puppy in our home surprisingly he said go and ask your mother i dont have any problem encouraged by our fathers response we rushed to mom and asked her mummy father has no objection to the puppy will you please allow us to bring him home mom could not believe her ears and started staring at my father my father laughed at her reaction and said let children have a puppy a dejected amma shouted no if a puppy makes way into this house i will go away people in the building will object and how can i fight with everyone this was the last conversation we had inside the house about getting a puppy my sister and i were heartbroken in fact we even stopped talking to each other but we continued being obedient to our parents guess thats what led to a change of heart in my mother one night before going to bed she asked us tell me who will take care of puppy who will wash and clean him who will give him a bath tell me we had no answer go do what you want to give up school and be at home looking after the pup amma said rudely well it might have been a rude statement but was enough to make us realize that it was time to get the little one home as promised we reached patidar auntys house and princy welcomed us yet again we saw all her pups rolling around in the house playing jumping and pushing one another we were thrilled to see them all but most thrilled to meet the puppy we were going to take home we brought the puppy home and kept him on the floor
