Siddhartha 2

Govinda: oh Charu, Siddhartha left me!

Charu: How so?

Govinda: We went away from the samanas to hear the Buddah himself, I joined his followers but Siddhartha decided not to after I already agreed.

Charu: Can't you see that was your own choice to become a monk, it wasn't in Siddhartha's path?

Govinda: But we've been by eachothers side since we were born, I don't understand why he would just leave me like that.

Charu: What actually happened, tell me the whole story.

Govinda: So we heard the Buddah talk and I joined his monkhood and asked why Siddhartha had not stepped up, he said that I had chosen my path and blessed me with salvation. Then we walked around the woods and said goodbye. I got my robes and we parted ways.

Charu: It sounds to me like you finally choose your own life instead of following his and he stuck to his own path. He's not to blame, no one is. You're taking a big step and now is the time to become your own person.

Govinda: I suppose you're right...

Charu: I have to go for now, good luck, you'll learn plenty [:

Govinda: Talk to you soon Charu... and thank you.



I wonder how Govinda is doing, I know Siddhartha is fine. He always has been, he just doesn't realize how much Govinda cares about him, their like brothers. I can't believe they split ways, not in a million years would I have thought that would happen. I suppose the day is so, they were bound to someday, if one died... or got married. Govinda is a good man, he'll be just fine as a monk. I wonder what Siddhartha is up to now... maybe one day I'll find out.
