Chapter 1(b): At the Orphanage
Sunday Morning:
— It was Sunday and all the students were in the playground. Some of them were running — some of them sliding and some fighting friendly.The boy sat on a rock far from the playground and watched all the students playing. He wanted to play, wanted to slide but did not know how to ask — he had no hope except to watch them playing.
— Suddenly, his eyes moved to a puppy who was playing in the playground — it was roaming all over the playground and was trying to catch the butterflies with his little teeth. For the first time the boy smiled — he liked that little animal. Slowly, the puppy covered the entire playground and walked towards him. It started wagging it's tail and his tongue was out. The boy looked at the puppy with a smile, but he did not know what it wanted. He tried to ignore him, but the puppy sought his attention — it was not leaving him. The boy stopped for a second, stared at him and softly ruffled the puppy's hair with his left hand.
At the same time, the school watchman was walking around — he was busy with his duty like no one else in the world. Suddenly some papers fell out of his pocket and he failed to notice it. The boy who was ruffling the puppy's hair noticed the papers on the floor, he moved his head around and saw the watchman walking. He wanted the watchman to look back for his paper, but he did not know how to make him do it — while he was guessing what to do, the puppy started barking. The watchman heard the puppy barking and looked back. The boy then pointed his fingers at the fallen papers. The watchman came back and took his papers. He gently ruffled the boy's hair, said, " Thank you" and walked away. The boy was shocked to see the puppy's behavior and wondered how he knew what he wanted to do.
"— Did he read my mind?" He thought to himself. The puppy barked again as if he read his mind.
School: MorningAll the students in the classroom were busy answering the class teacher. But this boy was sitting in the corner of the class and drawing something on paper— it looked like a puppy.Slowly, the clouds in the sky changed from white to bright orange — it was a delightful evening. All the students in the class were waiting for the last hour of the school bell to ring — it was their favorite one.
Eventually, the bell rang and one by one the students left the classrooms and walked to the dormitories within walking distance.
— But this boy was still in the classroom and was waiting for everyone to leave. After all the students left the classroom, he walked to the classroom's window and started gazing at the empty road — he was eagerly waiting for something.After some time a Milk van arrived on the empty road — a person got out of it and unloaded the milk boxes at the Orphanage main gate. He talked something to the watchman and left the place. After the van left the place, the boy walked to his dormitory. He always hoped to travel in a truck one day.
Dining Hall: Time 8 PM.Everyone was waiting in line at the dining hall to gather their dinner. The boy was standing somewhere in the middle of the students and was waiting for his turn. After a while, he took his dinner plate filled with some vegetables, roti, and a glass of milk. He had his dinner, except the milk. He saved it for the puppy. He walked out slowly and reached the place where the puppy was sleeping.The puppy woke up noticing he was coming. The boy fed him a glass of milk and returned to his dormitory.
— It became a daily routine for him to feed the puppy with Milk and sometimes with bread. Day by day the bond between them became even stronger. Unknowingly, the Puppy and Milk van became his world.School Evening:— The school bell rang, and all the students walked out of the class one by one to their dormitories, but the boy was still in the class — he was waiting for everyone to leave, so that he could see his favorite truck from the window. On the other side the compounder was busy doing his daily work — which was to check and lock the classroom doors. He was looking into the classrooms and locking them from outside. He looked into the boy's classroom to check in, but did not notice the boy standing at the window, where a pillar covered him. He locked the door outside thinking that no one was in the classroom and walked off the school.— It was already late, but the milk-van did not arrive. The boy was still waiting in hopes. He spent almost an hour looking at the main road and finally realized that the truck would not come today. He picked up his bag, put it on his back and slowly walked over to the door and tried to open it, but it did not open — he did not know that the door was locked from the outside. He thought the door was stuck and tried hard to unlock it, but could not be opened. He slowly knocked on the door and waited for someone to reply — but no one answered.
— It was already past six o'clock and the boy began to feel nervous. He didn't know how to get out of the classroom. He started knocking on the door in fear hoping for some help.
Fortunately, he noticed a puppy playing outside. It was the same puppy which read his mind. He relaxed for a second; But he wondered how the puppy would look at him. He looked around the classroom for any sign of an idea and noticed the chalk pieces fell near the blackboard. He walked over to it, collected all the pieces of chalk on the ground, and threw one of them at the puppy. As the chalk fell, the puppy looked around and saw the boy standing by the window. The boy was relieved and tears welled up in his eyes when the puppy saw him. The puppy wagged his tail and quickly realized he was in trouble. Without wasting a second it started running towards the main entrance and began to pull the guard's leg with his little teeth. The watchman understood that the puppy wanted to show him something and walked along with it. The puppy brought him to the place where the boy was locked. The guard looked around and saw the boy standing at the classroom window. He immediately ran and opened the door. The boy was already in tremor and there was sweat all over his face. He walked to him and ruffled his hair gently and said, "don't worry …"
The watchman shrugged to think how the puppy knew that he was in trouble.
" — What would have happened without this puppy"
"— I can't believe it, but he helped you ..."
"He's your friend ... take care of him" he said and walked away.
He shouted from a distance again .. "— Give him a good title ..."

"— Watchman uncle told me to give you the best title? Which title is best for you?" he said thinking. " — TITLE, I think it's good." "You're the TITLE," he said with a smile.
