A sly grin crossed over his cunning face as he watched his emaciated workers struggle on the construction site.
Degenerate that he was, he had never felt sorry for them nor did he ever think of providing them with any comforts of life!
Just when he was about to leave, he saw a puppy run to its master and lick his face lovingly, who provided it with the only bread that he was left with even though he hadn't had any.
Surprised he was as he witnessed this scene of pure love between a man and a creature as it was something he had never felt even for a fellow human being.
'This is what it must be like to have a true companion' he thought as he longed for one!!

Sad about the workers, but the action of the man with the dog certainly must have spoken to the cold hearted boss.
ReplyDeleteYeah as they say, action speak louder than words :)
DeleteThank you for stopping by :)
it was inspiring .. indeed a true companion !
ReplyDeleteThanks Ankur :)
DeleteI think that dog will prove a fine companion until a human friend comes along..
ReplyDeleteHehe :D but dogs are always faithful ;)
DeleteThis is inspiring and illustrates unconditional love so beautifully! ♥
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy :)
DeleteOne will only realize it if enacted in front of our eyes. Sacrifice takes many forms. Wonderful write Swathi!

Thanks Hank :)
DeleteI am sure that once he turns away from the scene he will revert to his former self. He bullies people he would bully a pet, he is just fantasizing.
ReplyDeleteThough there is a big possibility of this happening, I hope it wont!
DeleteLovely and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteHow self-absorbed must the boss be to long for a companion, when he can't even treat his workers respectably. To find inspiration from a man and his pet, and not from those who suffer because of him, is so typical. Love how you've sketched his character from one scene!
ReplyDeletePeople who are lonely tend to forget to love others! Only love can change them and hope this boss finds it in his heart to care for others!
DeleteBeautiful offering, Swathi. Thank you.

DeleteI love how the picture shows the parallels in their life and you brought that out beautifully in your lines.
ReplyDeleteThank you Karishma :)
DeleteI so agree with you... pets are such great companions who probably don't ask for anything back other than love.
