My previous lives end with tragedy. Each time I find a new master, bad things happen.
Now, I am in my graveyard. The world is no more my home. I need to search for another place for myself… A place for me to rest in peace.
My last memories were about my new master, Jack. He found me, and brought me home. He fed me and stroked me gently. I like him the most, I swear I do.
Jack has siblings. They are Christina and Nick. They adore me too. Although they already had a pet dog, they adopted me too. At first I thought this would be my home, but unfortunately it is now my grave.
The rain stopped and it was night now. Everything was quiet and peaceful except for my enemy—Kopi, their pet dog. I hate it. I hate it barking at me and I hate its fierce look.
Jack’s mother did not agree with Jack to keep me. Therefore, they decided to let me go. No, I would not go. This is my home, I am going to stay here and nothing could stop me!
The gentle hands put me on the icy floor. I shiverd. It was very cold and I missed the cozy feel in Jack’s house. “Please, do not leave me” I whimpered. When Jack turned his back and walk away, I prowled behind him to get back into his house.
I could not get into his house when I came near the gate. Kopi was guarding it. I hissed and yeowled at him. It seemd to work. Still, I fear that it would tear me into pieces.
Finally, it was my chance. Jack’s parents were home. I scampered toward the car and hid under it. Kopi was furious and desperate to catch me when he saw me succeeded to get in. I purred contentedly but my stomach was rumbling. I was hungry. Was there anything to eat?
Unfortunately, there was no food for me. Then I remembered that Jack had put food for me near the Kampung house where he left me. Now, I had only two choices left: To starve or to surrender.
I curled up and tried to sleep in this cold and hungry situation. After hours of nightmare, my eyes caught a glimpse of dawn light. It was going to be morning. Kopi was still very energetic but its attitude was softer now. It did not bark me that loudly. Furthermore, it tried to snif me and befriend me.
Though, cats do not get along with dogs. Jack went to school followed by his parents going to work. Kopi was taken outside and now I was left inside the gate. This was my victory.
Although I was inside the house now but I could not find any food. This would be my doom. Suddenly, Nick came home. He did not aware that I was in the house, so he let Kopi in. Oh no, Kopi must get me this time! I had to do something.
“Meow!” I leapt on Kopi and hissed at him. I felt a sudden pain in my stomach and blacked out.
I never woke up since then. My life ended again in tragedy. Why am I always unfortunate, dying at a young age? Why am I borned to be a cat, an animal? How many times do I need to repeat this kind of life? Why…Why?
