He lived with three other friends in his glass enclosure.
Last morning he had felt weak. It strained him far too much
to even nibble on his food. He only ate because Kavya fed him. Her love made him want to scream at his God
for deciding to take him away so soon.
His friends supported him all they could. Every time he
wanted to give up, they reminded him that he needed to live, for Kavya. Giving up
meant hurting her beyond comprehension and he knew it.
He wanted to live on and
on, forever, for Kavya.
Finally, seven days later, he died.
Kavya sobbed to her mother “Maa, my goldfish is no more!”
