Until I Meet You Again

One night, I had just arrived at my house. My father greeted me in sorrowful way and said, “Sis, Iput has already got home.”

“Really? Where is he?”

“There! (pointed to the dining room floor), he was in pain. And somehow, he was kind of waiting for you to come.” And I could see that Iput was facing me and blinking his eyes with his weak body lying on the floor. I also saw how he could not even get up anymore while he was seeing me home.

At that time, I shocked and I could not hide my feeling by walking towards him, dropping my feet down in front of him, and starting to cry silently by sobbing hard.

I found myself disbeliefs. I could not even say something like, ‘why?’, ‘what happened?’ or anything regarding the situation until my parent told me everything about what happened to him. In sum, it was about how he was suddenly coming back home with unreasonable pain.

My family also told me that I had to realize that his last seconds had arrived. For counted times, my parent said that he was waiting for me because I am as his master. They even said that he seemed want to see me for the last time that was why he waited for me. I knew it sound impossible, but it did make sense. I became horribly sad to hear that.

I could not stop thinking that it would be the last time that we met. I just stared at him and he was just staring back blankly. He seemed talk to me with his eyes that he was just fine because at least, he had seen me. I was hugging and caressing him because I really wanted to do something to help him. Unfortunately, I could not do anything for him.

In the next early morning, which was never expected, farewell came by. My father woke me up and told me about him. It was really happened that he was just passed away. I could not hold my tears up that went soaked all over my face. ‘Now, he has already got home...’, I wrote it down on my diary book. I really could not stand it.

I had to go to the campus. But, I spent my time to greet him first before he would be grounded. Then, I stared at him for the last time and said, “Goodbye, Iput.” Again, I was crying that I was not ready for this because it just slowly became a memory.

Our memories, which were so precious, were coming back and telling the stories on its own. The time that we had been spent together for almost two years. We used a lot to played, ate, and slept together, and did a lot of things through this journey, me and Iput was very close to each other. Back when he was still alive, Iput used to run towards the door and greet me first when I got home and heard my motorcycle’s sound. It reminded hurt in me how he could not lift up his body on the last time he saw me coming back home.

At last, I was just hoping that he had deserve better rather than live in pain. In my entire life, Iput was the first cat that I really loved besides some of my cats that was ever lived in my house. As a part of my life, he brought me a lot of great memories that I would never forget.  

‘Can we meet again?’ I asked to myself bluntly and tried to figure it out the answer.

In the end, no matter how I might never meet you again, but our memories will not be forgotten until I meet you again.

For your unimportant information, I want to tell you that I really love animals especially cats. They’re just cute and cuddly. In fact, I’m used to raising many domestic cats in different time periods. Also, I have a lot of experience in raising cats at home and I’m still doing it, till now. So, I can say that cats are my favorite animals.
