Govinda, this is probably best for you two. You both will learn what you both want without conflicts. "Govinda, my friend, you have taken the step, you have chosen your path. You have always been my friend, Govinda, you have always gone a step behind me. Often I have thought: will Govinda ever take a step without me, from his own conviction? Now, you are a man and have chosen your own path. May you go along it so the end, my friend. May you find salvation!" (Hermann Hesse 30) -- You both need to take your own steps, and Siddhartha already understands that. You need to stop relying on him.
I think Govinda is dealing with this a bit Kiddish like. This is life, people will end up going their own ways. Siddhartha is on his own path and Govinda should help him as much as he can while he can. Him making a big deal of it isn't much help but just makes the situation harder. Overall I think Govinda should act a little more his age. Yes it is sad but would you cry if your favorite chicken died?
