Unconditional Love

I thought back to when we used to go on walks at night, I recall the first time you rode on me, ah that was so poor, I remember you gave me an awful smirk and I thought you will never trust me again. Do you remember? when the person came to Farriers, I kicked him hehe wasn’t that stupid?

  I was around 6 months. I was brought up to Henry's home. He played with me all day, sometimes he fell asleep while playing. He kissed me all over my face, when there was no hay for me he would give me his food to eat and would sleep the whole night on a biscuit packet. The first time he rode on me I was confident about the ride but in overconfidence, Henry crashed on the ground, he had scratches on the left side of his body, my eyes were watery. We did this every day. While returning home small children watched me, some sat on my back auh they weighed so much but it was fun. Sometimes I felt like making them fall but I didn’t. 

Remembering the way he brought me up and the care he took is wordless and I forgive him when he makes any mistakes. 

He changed as he grew up, he started taking wedding orders. He started training me to carry the groom on my back and dance. It was hard to do but the happiness of earning money was at a different level. Every day he used to save money for me by buying new clothes, bridles, protection boots, I whinny when he got new things. A day before the wedding he took me for practice to perform well. After the practice and scolding and getting beaten, he consoled me and said “you are a long racehorse”.

We both traveled to weddings in summer, rays striking us on the body, full of sweat, even the groom was sweaty and I always felt a need of ac/ cooler. Although while going home we party. I miss the parties and you henry. The last time we had a party was after a grand wedding. While going back, the black car was overtaking us, going left-right back and forth, they were not letting us go in meanwhile we stopped our car, henry tried talking, the people were forest officer and they said leave me and on that henry had an argument in meanwhile, I heard a loud a gunshot.
