It All Began With This

"okay sweetie, now close your eyes" i closed my eyes as my dad told me so. my mom was happily filming us with her camera that she just bought last week.

i heard light sound of boxes which woke up the excitement on my body more. my hands couldn't stop moving around because of the adrenaline i was feeling.

"in a second"

"in a second... now open"  i opened my eyes and saw a puppy inside a glittery red box.

"a dog!! he's so cute dad!! thank you so much" i hugged my dad and kissed his cheek, and ran to my mom who was too busy capturing the memorable moment.

"aw you're welcome anak, your dad and i have been thinking about this a lot and since you've been a good girl naman, we decided na bilhin ka even if..." she playfully rolled her eyes and giggled.

"medyo labag sa loob ko" and this time sinabayan ni dad ang tawa nya.

i wasn't really expecting this. i have been asking for a dog for a long time and all they say is a no, i guess they really can't take me.

i grabbed the dog out of the box and took a look. he was a suberian husky. he has a very nice color, white and a little bit touch of a grey also. it made him look more like a wolf.

"how old is he dad?" 

"about 2 months and a half"  he said as he looks at me with a smile splattered on his face. mom approached dad and side hugged him then dad kissed mom's side forehead.

it was a cringey but very sweet sight. i looked at them two happily. then i realized how lucky i am to have them both.

"have you already decided a name beatriz?" huh, i haven't really thought of a name yet.

what was that movie called where there were people who turned into wolves and vampires and other crazy things? oh right TWILIGHT! and the boy...

"jacob dad! we'll call him jacob"  the dog barked as soon as i said that. i smiled and scrubbed his head. it fits him very well and it also seems that he likes it.

i grabbed the paper bag that was on top of the table. it was filled with jacob's stuff such as treats, teether and many more.

i continued to play with jacob while mom and dad went upstairs to take a rest. im really thankful for the both of them, they gave me a good life and also the things that i want. i would do anything for them and promise myself to pay them back when i grow up.

"come jacob, come" i stood up and walked upstairs. jacob was trailing behind me.

i turned on my bedroom's light and carried jacob up to my bed.

"this is your new home now jacob, understand me?" i said lecturing him like how a mom lectures his toddler son.

"now this is a bed, you sleep in here. not pee or poo, if you ever take a wee here or much worse poop im not gonna let you sleep here and leave you sa baba"

"understand me?" he spun around and barked like he knew what i said. i smiled and sat down on my bed.

"that's what i thought"
