It was a rainy evening when I am currently sleeping as It'll be my first night shift for the week when somebody hits the doorbell and no one from our household is responding or looking who it was and I forced myself to woke up to entertain that person in our gate only to find out that I was alone. So I hurriedly went to the door, I know that that person is waiting for so long and it is raining so they might get cold.
The girl is our neighbor and she is carrying a dog and the breed of the dog is similar to my kids: shih tzu it is just whiter and not that printed.
"Nakawala po yung aso niyo" (Your dog got lost) The girl said "Nakita ko po sya pagala-gala" (I saw her roaming around)
I was speechless at first, I know that the dog isn't mine. But the girl is already handing the dog towards me and I grabbed it and say
"Salamat! Buti nalang binalik mo! Salamat talaga!!!" (Thank you, I am so thankful you returned her, Thank you so much!" as if the dog is mine.
and so we (me and the dog) went inside the house after waiving goodbye to the good samaritan-neighbor girl
My sleepiness was gone after and I am just looking at that dog who keeps on following me wherever I'll go. My kids are just looking at her, I am so happy that they're being kind to some visitor but as I wait for my sister to arrive and to decide what to do with the found dog I just suddenly think why did I pretend that the dog is mine?
