My Dumpy

Megha was in class 7, when she brought a puppy from her friends house. She loves pet and wanted to keep him with her. but her father was against it, because both her parents are working and do not have time to take care of him. Megha cried and convinced her father to keep him with her. She named him Dumpy and he is happy with the name because he would react immediately whenever she would call him by that name. As Megha is the only child of her parents, she always wanted a brother, so she comforted him like a small brother. Gradually her parents started getting attached to Dumpy so well that her father used to feed him every day and get him whatever he demanded for. Hence Dumpy became a main member in the family. Days went and years passed, the love for Dumpy got stronger with the family. After twelve years Dumpy found with severe seizures attack lying on the floor, tongue bleeding, attack continued for three minutes. This made family worried and rushed to the doctor. Doctor prescribed medicine, but no medicine worked. Dumpy started getting attack once in a month, then in a week, later once in a day. Megha and her family took him to many doctors, but every doctor declared that they cannot cure it, rather they can control it with medicines. Doses of medicines increased, but they found no improvement. Whenever Dumpy gets attack, the family would get scared, panicked and helpless. Megha and her family used to cry and pray for him every day. They love him so much, that they would get scared thinking of losing him from their life. Its been one month,Dumpy is alright and did not get any attack. The family was happy and stable. The day of Sankranti festival, when the family was celebrating, Dumpy was happy eating sweets and playing, then all of a sudden he met with a severe attack again. Megha went mad and so do her parents. Father rushed to the hospital but no doctors were available, because it was festival. But some how he found a doctor and brought him home. The attack continued to 5...10....12.....15.....20 minutes but did not stop. Dumpy's eyes came out, his teeth bit his tongue, it was bleeding, he was hitting himself to the floor, walls and furniture. His condition was pathetic. Megha and her mother was horribly crying. Doctor gave him injection, but still continued. Finally doctor gave up and said that this is the end and attack will continue for 9-10 hours, because a nerve in his brain got destroyed. Megha stared him helplessly for 2 hours. The attack was continuing. She could not see him struggling for such a long and decided to give him peace. Her mother and father were in the room weeping. She was with Dumpy, know that he wont be normal anymore, but cant leave him 9-10 hours in this condition. It was a big decision for her, for which she cant forgive herself, but she has to do something. Finally she took a cloth and closed his nose for a second and gave him peace. It was tough for her to do that, but she wanted him to give relief from that disease. She loves him so much that she could not see him in pain. She did not come out from that shock and still blame herself. Dear reader, was that a sin, or a help?
