Pride That Fell to the Ground
Helena was still standing on the terrace step when Raga and Bima ran past the hedge with lighter and lighter steps. Every circle made by the two old dogs felt like a small slap to the Bernadus family, because last night, they had thrown away five pills from Peter Davis as if those things were worth no more than dust.Amanda tried to raise her chin. “Grandma, don’t believe it too quickly. Peter may have only guessed the dogs’ condition by coincidence, or perhaps some other medicine worked late.”Mira and Santo exchanged glances without speaking. They had worked in that house for years and knew when to swallow their opinions, but their eyes still conveyed something that made Amanda’s face grow hotter.Helena looked at her granddaughter. “Coincidence can happen once. But old dogs that barely ate yesterday and then run like young guards are not a coincidence that is easy to swallow.”
A Miracle in the Backyard
Raga and Bima ran across the Bernadus family’s backyard like two young guards newly released from a training kennel. The grass they had stepped on weakly the night before was now split by quick strides, while their barking shook a morning that was usually far too orderly in that luxurious house.Amanda came out first with an annoyed face, followed by her father, her mother, Helena, Mira, Andi, and Santo. They all stopped on the back terrace when the two old German Shepherds circled near the fence, then made short jumps with a strength they had not shown for months.“This is impossible,” Amanda said quickly, as if the sentence could turn the two dogs weak again. She looked at Raga and Bima, then turned to Mira. “Did you give them some other medicine?”Mira lowered her head, but her voice remained clear enough. “No, Miss Amanda. Yesterday, they barely touched their food. The veterinarian also said their age no longer gave much hope.”Andi, the gardener who usually cleaned the kennel, no
Dogs That Knew the Price of Medicine Better
The Bernadus family arrived in the backyard with faces that were still trying to reject belief. They came as if they were about to prove the servants had panicked too much, but their steps stopped when Raga ran across the grass and barked with a chest far stronger than yesterday.Bima followed behind him. The old dog had not become fully young again. His fur still carried the dullness of age, but his eyes were clearer, his steps steadier, and his breathing no longer sounded heavy like an old pump.Amanda hugged her own arms. “Maybe they just slept well.”Andi immediately shook his head. He knew that tone was not a question, but he also knew what he saw was too large to swallow as coincidence. “Old dogs don’t change like this just because they slept well, Miss.”Amanda’s mother looked at Andi with displeasure. “Are you an animal expert now?”
Barking from the Backyard
Morning in the Bernadus family home usually began with the sound of the coffee machine, servants’ footsteps in the corridor, and the sound of car doors being opened by drivers before the hosts finished breakfast. But that morning, the sound that woke the back area did not come from the kitchen, but from a long bark that sounded far too strong for a yard where two old dogs usually only slept.Mira, the head maid who had worked in the house for nearly fifteen years, stopped in front of the linen cabinet. She knew the voices of the Bernadus family’s two old German Shepherds, Raga and Bima, better than some family members knew their own illnesses.“Since when have they barked like that?” one of the young maids whispered.Mira did not answer immediately. She walked to the back window, moved the curtain slightly, then her eyes widened when she saw the two dogs running around the small yard with steps fa
The Breakup Letter and the Discarded Gift
Amanda pulled the folder from the table with a hand that was still trembling. She tried to make the movement look firm, but the papers inside shook clearly enough for the servants standing near the wall to see.“This is the engagement cancellation letter,” she said. Her voice was made cold, yet her eyes still occasionally dropped toward Richard, who still could not stand normally.Amanda’s father immediately seized the chance. “Sign it, then leave. After all the chaos tonight, at least you can still leave this house without making us call the police.”Peter accepted the folder without hurry. He did not sign it immediately, but opened the first page, read every line, then calmly turned to the next sheet.Amanda’s mother sneered. “Are you afraid there’s a trap? That letter only states that the engagement is canceled. Don’t act as if your name still
One Touch for an Arrogant Athlete
Richard’s first attack came with a reasonably proper form. He did not swing wildly like Vincent, but cut the distance with lowered shoulders, then aimed a punch toward the side of Peter’s chest to force his opponent back toward the table. His movement had a foundation, fast enough to make Amanda’s father lean forward again.Peter avoided it with a small step. He did not leap far, did not display any technique, and did not give the room the spectacle they wanted. His body merely tilted just enough for the punch to pass in front of his jacket, carrying a short gust that touched the fabric but found no flesh.Richard immediately changed the angle. His right leg swept in from the side, faster than the Bernadus family had expected, and Amanda’s mother briefly released a relieved breath because she thought Peter would be forced down this time. Amanda even clutched the tissue against her chest, as if Richard’s victory
