Lost

"Good thing you found me you silly dog! What were you thinking wandering alone around the city huh?! To save me? Well, thank you!"

*2 hours ago*

"Where are you?!---beep". The call suddenly ended and our argument with my girlfriend stopped. Then I heard my mom yelling my name in a panicked manner. I slipped my phone on my pocket and slammed the door shut as I left the room. I went to her and saw her expression, about to cry.

"Beatris is lost!" She told me.

Beatris is the name of our dog whom we consider as part of our family. She has been our pet for years and we can't afford losing her.

"Beatris could just be somewhere in the house ma. She could be under your bed sleeping or resting in the box I put in my room." I replied

"But I already searched every corner of our house and she's gone! That means she's out there wandering in the streets! You should find her!" She demanded

I pity her for looking so worried and restless. Of course I was worried about our dog too. She is close to me, but I've also got other important things to worry too. My mom was desperate, but so am I. Instead of staying at the house witnessing my mom cry like a kid I decided to find Bea and left. I gotta find her. I gotta find Bea!

It's 8 o'clock in the evening and I'm out here in the streets of a big city where I live. The noises of people walking by and the honking of horns caused by the heavy traffic are mixing up in my ears. Surely I have no idea where to look for her. All I need is to rely on my instincts. Minutes passed and I ended up on a pet shop, the same shop where I first met Bea. She was so beautiful and cute that I got attracted to her at first sight. I told mom I would choose her. And thats how it was. She supported me. But now here I am trying to find her. I went out of the shop knowing she's not there and went ahead. As soon as I reached the other side of the road I noticed lovers holding each other's hand. They were so sweet and romantic that those who are not in a relationship would envy them. Bea is the only relationship I got. I would carry her in my arms or comb her hair, that is much sweeter. Yet again, here I am trying to find her. I searched and searched until I spotted myself standing on the soccer field. A kid accidentally kicked the ball towards me and hit my butt.

"Sorry mister. I'm just an amateur and still trying to learn football." He apologized.

"Oh it's fine as long as my balls wasn't the target." and I accepted it.

I remember training Bea to play soccer but it's no use, she wont even know how to throw a kick. We play other games instead such as hide and seek. She always hide under my mom's bed. I would even tickle her on the neck and she would bite me for doing so. I desperately wanted to know where she was. My heart was in doubt. I can't take it if I lose her.

I moved on and arrived at the plaza where families, friends, and even couples love to spend time together. I looked around, but there's too much people hanging out and it's nearly impossible to find Bea. So I walked a few steps away to take a sit on a bench where I used to rest with her. But with so much people right now I certainly think that it's taken. I lowered my head feeling really worried. Where could she be? I asked myself. Then I stopped walking and raised my head. I found the answer. My heart started to pump so fast and loud. I finally saw Bea, she's on the bench. But it was not the answer I hoped for. She was leaning on someone else's shoulder. And that someone else was combing her hair. There's no mistaking it, it's Bea, I could recognize her even from behind. And me looking at their backs, they kissed. I recall the first day we met at the shop. I approached her and said "hi", and she said "hi" in reply. Those times when she told me she's too lazy to walk and I carry her around in my arms. That moment when she can't even throw a kick because her leg hurts, then I comfort her. She hides under my mom's bed and I'd pretend I didn't saw her. Remembering those memories my tears came out. My heart felt like it was shattered to pieces . I can't bear the pain I felt that I could have killed the man. But then I heard Beatris barking exactly in front of me. She looked so happy that she wiggled her tail. We stared at each other while my tears were still flowing in. Suddenly, I smiled, realizing that Beatris was there for me when I needed someone. I picked her up and turned around to head home. Right now, I'm still on the city with Beatris. I'm still feeling the heartache, I'm still feeling the pain. And these tears just won't stop.

"Bea! Who is with you? Where are you?!---beep"
That's why she wont tell me where she is when I asked her on the phone. I tried finding her, but all I found was the truth. Now I'm lost.

"Good thing you found me silly dog! What were you thinking wandering alone around the city huh?! To save me? Well, thank you!" --------" But honestly, I'm still lost. Bea broke my heart Beatris."
