Prompt~Companion (Noun)
Seedha sorely missed Khabba.
Khabba was a companion to Seedha. Seedha was very competent and could do most of the things yet liked the others company. He realized this only when Khabba met with an accident and left him alone.
Seedha needed his companion’s help to greet, perform religious rituals, do ablutions in the traditional way, thread a needle, open a bottle, lift heavy objects – an endless list.
He realized the level of his dependence when he was provided with a non-living robotic companion so that he could meet the daily challenges of life.
In north of India, right side is referred as Seedha and the left side as Khabba.

AC, The explanation of the meaning of the words for Seedha and Khabba was very interesting, and I can see this also applying to one who has had a stroke. I love that I learn something new every time I visit! Excellent, my friend!
Yes it applies to many physical disabilities, what ever the cause. Loss of function of any part of body is difficult to overcome, and loss of companionship for one or the other part.
Thanks for the read and appreciation. 🙂
Your stories are always uniquely lovely, and I find myself being introduced to new ideas and new ways of looking at life. You’ve also used one of my favourite words in this piece: ‘ablutions’. :)) Such a useful word! :))
Thank you for the read and appreciation.
Ablutions is rarely used nowadays. I find it has a particular charm.

Love the idea of one side of the body accompanying the other side, and you’ve indicated so well the visceral loss of disability.
Thank you for the read and the perceptive comment.
