~ Last breath... ~

A long weekend! (its 3 days!) Yesterday I went to visit my little sister in her place around Subang, being a good sister I am (perasan!). Just wasting my time there actually, seeing her study, watching TV and sleep (haha!) We spent some, you may say quality time together as sisters, telling jokes and laughing around. We went to eat, window shopping and all sort of stupid and some genius stuff.

Well, I went back to place today as I have a lot of homework to do. On our way, (she came with me for lunch) we saw this one cute kitten with blue eyes. Adorable! Then, somewhere ahead of us there are a silver Honda Civic just came out from the parking spot and zoom off. Then my sister said, there is a new kitten, gray-white colour, there. So I went there, and I saw not only one but two new kittens! One was the gray-white colour and the other was black. The black kitten was lying and the mother were licking its body. The sibling (i suppose!) was nudging the black kitten's body as if saying, 'come on, get up' (i'm learning cat language, haha!). I was curios as why the black kitten just laid there so I came near. Then, the black kitten turned towards us and I saw a set of beautiful sparkling blue eyes (i'm not exaggerating!). I never thought to see such a beautiful eyes, but something amiss behind those eyes. We keep on looking at it, and the black kitten just stared at us as if trying to say, 'could you please help me'.

I saw a few feet away from us, there are three Japanese or Korean guys(i'm not sure) were staring at the three cat, the black kitten in particular. My sister said maybe the black kitten is dying because of being hit by the car. The kitten couldn't get up! And it still staring at us, begging us with the look. And later, it turn its head and became still. I thought it was dead, then I came nearer to look. The mother had stop licking and just sat still beside it, the other kitten had also sat still across it's sibling. I saw the black kitten heaving a sharp breath, once, twice and I couldn't look no more. My sister make an attempt to go nearer but I stop her, I said don't look at it when it is its time to go. The mother and the sibling also didn't look at it.
I dragged my sister away from the family, and just look from afar. The guys came to us and asked if the kitten had died, but my sister just said its dying. Just imagine, looking at the kitten's eyes in the last minutes of its life. I still can't forget the look on the kitten eyes, as the light seems to fade away, so as its soul. I felt hopeless, can't help the kitten. Then we just move on, feeling very sad. Yeah, and bad-mouthing (not too harsh, dont worry!) the unresponsible driver.

We had our lunch and I bought some stuff for myself then I'm off to my place. After settling down, I text my sister to make sure she had reach her place. And, she told me another bad news! The grey-white kitten is dead! The head was squashed, and bits of it were sprayed around. It's gruesome, if you can imagine it, but it is so sad. They died side by side. In just a few hours, the mother had lost two kitten! My sister and I called whoever the killer, 'the cat slayer'. Maybe you can say that the driver didn't see the kittens were under the car but can't you just peek under or look around. They should know that the area has a lot of cats around. Just check around, it won't cost you anyway.

So, lesson for today : Check under and around your car before you move away, better that way than being a killer!

ai-na : I missed my cat..
