I suddenly woke up in that instant, heart thumping, sweat forming on my forehead, taking in gulps of air and realised that it was all a dream. Both my darling pets
Romeo and Juliet are no more in this world with me today and in that state of confusion between the real and the unreal world I could sense their presence, feel their long silky ears, see the twinkle in their black eyes. What were they both trying to tell me? Where were they going? What did falling into the water mean? Romeo was drowning till he was rescued by that lady. Who was she? Was there a message to be decoded? Or was it that they both were simply calling out to me as they were moving on to a new life, a re-birth?
Whatever it was my heart found its normal pace and my breathing started to get back to normal, a smile started to form on my lips and I said a short prayer and mouthed a thank you to them both for visiting me once again. After all there is no other way to meet them, is there?
