Love story of Missy and Coco - they taught me a good lesson..

MISSY , the pretty sparrow and COCO, her smokey mate, the male sparrow, shared a beautiful love story and lived it every moment in my house, until Coco died of electric shock yesterday.

Story when Coco was alive:
The day in my house beings with the chirpy sounds of these lovely little sparrows who create a romantic and beautiful sight. I love the way Missy keeps teasing Coco by flaunting her pretty feathers and then their beaks indulge in long sensational kiss..

This is just the beginning, our pretty lady Missy has an attitude and sometimes acts little pricey. No wonder, poor Coco is always busy attracting her.. He plays some stunts in my drawing room, does a bungee jump from the curtain rod to the other side of the room and let me tell you, this trick has always worked for him. Missy just can't stop following him after this heroic act of Coco.
Their lovely, musical & orgasmic sounds of chirps always tell you how much both are in love..

What happened Yesterday:

Missy and Coco didn't seem their usual self and were sitting very quietly on the curtain rod. Missy seemed to be little upset with Coco, she wasn't responding to any of his tricks. But Coco is Coco afterall, he couldn't resist doing that incredible Bungee Jump again to impress Missy, which led to the tragic end of his life in a minute.. He got hit by the fan and died instantly because of the electric shock.
At this shocking sight, Missy just couldn't stay there and left the room. She didn't return till evening which made me worried about her well being. It appears that she wanted some solace..

I picked up Coco on my hand, a drop of tear fell off my eyes. I soothed his feathers and did the little burial ceremony while kissing him good bye.

That night and the day after:

At night I dreamed of Coco being alive but in the form of a little chicken. May be he's already got reincarnated. I was happy with the dream and when I woke up today, the first thing I noticed was the chirpy sound of Missy again. I was surprised to see her sitting on that curtain rod again.
She was little sad and was searching all over the room through her eyes with a little hope of finding Coco, her eternal love.. But it seems that she finally accepted the fact that he's no more.

What Missy taught me:

Missy was so brave that after some moments of sadness and self-pity of losing her beloved, she was back to her giggling chirps and flaunting in front of her new boy friend, who was lot smarter than Coco.. The days is still on and I can still see her acting pricey again but now with a new mate :)

She's once again reminded me that despite all the odds, life moves on and there should always be a limit to self-pity, beyond which, one should look forward to new hopes and new dreams.. [Missy's boyfriend is just a resemblance to new opportunities in life to look forward to!]

[We might have expected Missy to remain sad for days, alone, pondering over what happened to her wonderful life that she was happy living with Coco. Lets look at this story beyond just the 'mate' thing and lets think it from the perspective of any 'odd' in life, does it really make a sense to keep cribbing about something that is out of our control, does life really stop??] :) Happy living!

Signing off with tribute to little sweetheart COCO!
