A LIFE OF TEARS #4

"Jewel, Skyler let's rest first.  I'm gasping for breath." My two dogs. They are siblings and they have been in my care for almost three years, aside from chloe and kuya they're also the ones I talk to whenever I have a problem or one of my comfort zone kumbaga. Im currently doing jogging in the subdivision park and I took them with me kase nga madalas ko na lang silang nakakasama for being too busy in the company.

A weeks has passed and during that week I handled nothing but the company.  And we also finished shipping some products to Los Angeles and I wasn't disappointed because we succeeded and caused my family's company and image to became more better known.

" one bottle of mineral water po"  inabot ko kay manong ang bayad "no, keep the change manong" I gave him a smile afterwards and I even heard him uttered 'salamat'.

I dragged the dogs to the side to rest for a while and I didn't have difficulty because they were used to it.

" hey, i miss you both" I hugged the two of them sitting on the grass and watching the people passing by while also carrying their dogs, too." Hows your day na wala ako? Na miss niyo ba ako?" they both licked my hand signaling their response. They were young when they were in my care.  I didn't buy or ask for them because I only found them when I was walking in a park so I took it in pity that no one would take care of them.

"kabahan ka kung sumagot 'yan" I was caught in my chest when a man suddenly appeared in front of us while also carrying his pet too which was the reason why skyler barked at it.

Kinarga ko si Skyler dahil ano mang oras ay susugod na ito sa alaga nito at mabuti naman ay tahimik lamang na nakatayo si Jewel sa harapan habang minamasdan ng mabuti ang lalaki.

"Ba't ka naman nanggugulat? Knock next time." he playfully smiled at what i said kaya't nalito ako kung bakit at sa anong dahilan.

"So ibig sabihin magkikita pa tayong muli? Nakakahalata kana huh," and accompanied by his loud laughter.

My lips quivered when I heard that from him. I didn't even inform how tall his self-esteem was. He stopped laughing seeing me not laughing at his joke.

"The audacity" so he was rewarded righteously and became serious. "by the way ba't ka nandito?" he is also currently jogging while carrying his pet. He was wearing his gray jogging outfit which further shaped her body.

"kila Asher kase ako natulog kagabi, d'yan lang sa may unahan" maybe his friend's house.

He looked at Jewel and gave a smile. He sat down slightly and stroked its feathers. He looked at me questioning what its name was.

"she's not difficult to guard, she's very gentle." he noticed.  He stood up and rubbed his dirty knee from kneeling and face me straight. "di na ako magtatagal pa, may pupuntahan pa kase ako. Sige kitakits"

I just nodded to him and gave him a smile.  I was watching jacob as he was walking away from us and when I could no longer find his features I decided to go home as well.

Jacob and i have also met many times and talked through social media so we are so light-hearted with each other that he already can do jokes.

Napagpasyahan ko munang pumunta sa bilihan ng mga bath essentials dahil ubos na ang mga naka stock sa bahay. It took me a few minutes to shop until I decided to go out but I quickly hear the ringing of my ringtone signaling someone is calling.

It was Chloe.

"Yes?" bungad kong tanong sa kanya.

"Hey, kanina pa kita tinatawagan pero 'di mo man lang sinasagot." she yelled at the other line." saan ka ba?" she asked.
