After some time Spotty became quiet. I patted him on his back and came inside. The next day morning, my heart skipped a beat when I did
84、nt see Spotty. I searched for him in each and every corner but he was nowhere. And this time he had gone and would never come back. I cried and waited for him. We waited for one long week.

These were the only questions in my mind, but they all remained unanswered forever.
