OMG!!! (text message)

G- :(
A- What is wrong Govinda?
G- :( OMG Siddhartha just left me. I feel like i am missin half of me!!
A- Oh, why??
G- He said that i should follow Buddha, but i dont think i should.
A- Then dont.
G- But Siddhartha thinks i should.
A- Then you are doing the right thing. This might just be the best choice for you.
G- BUT.....
A-but what?
G-HE LEFT ME, i dont get it.
A- He didnt leave you.
G-What do you mean?
A- What i mean is that he is just taking a different path then the one you are. The path he thought was right for you might not be the same for himself.
G- I guess. :/
A- Im sorry.
G- Its okay. GTG bye

Poor Govinda, this was right after he was left alone by Siddhartha. I believe that this is the right path for both Siddhartha and Govinda himself. Govinda just needs to realize that Siddhartha will always be with him, even though they are taking alternate paths. In order for Siddhartha to truely find himself he must take a seperate route or journey, that also means leaving and letting go of people and things close to him. This leaves them both alone but it also leaves a path for Govinda

Hi Mandii,
Are these part of a series? Are you referencing Buddhism? Or are they simply about characters inspired by Buddhist gods?

they are characters from the book Siddhartha. We are reading it and had to write what Govinda was feeling when Siddhartha left him to find enlightenment
