Never in my wildest dream that I would fall in-love in a short period of time, in the middle of quarantine: STAY HOME peg, amidst COVID-19 pandemic.
I have been living in a remote area, no too much vehicles passing. All I see everyday is my back yard full of grasses, trees, hearing beautiful voices of birds singing and going in and out of my house. I don't even know a single neighbor.
One morning after my conference at my comfort room, there, I found a very small, thin and dirty puppy trying to enter the back door of the house. Looking like deprived of love, care and food. My meek heart, started to feel this longings of having real companion in the house. My heart startled but super happy looking at this small living creature. I don't know, but my heart was so much glad seeing him in my backyard.
Everything, just went so fast, I have cared for him and he became healthy, so playful, he even trusted me already and so comfortable in the house, we had shared bed together, getting always my pillow, because he loves my pillows so much, that he even wanted to make it his bed. I let him played back and fort in and out of the house. He was so happy that he finally had a home to call his own and a fur parent (I wished he knew, he was not mine).
One afternoon, after playing with Wookie (named him), the neighbor beside called, that they will have to get back the puppy now, they will return to the original owner (from Surigao). My heart was so broken, because that is 300km more or less from my place.
Totally, I was broken, and cried for real the whole night until morning. I was reminded of Wookie's routine everyday, and that made me super sad. But, as I realized it over and over. I know I am not entitled to any madness, because I know in the very first place that Wookie is just a pup out of nowhere and asking for help to survive. He is not mine. I pity him so much.
The photo on the attached, I have made that exactly the day he left and went back to his owner. That is a phone wallpaper made thru canva. Inspired, and it is how I expressed my feeling. I wanted to see him everyday even just until phone's wallpaper. I really missed him badly.
How I wish to bring him back and be mine.
My out of nowhere 'lil pup, I hope you will come back very soon. If only you know and all other people knows I was so happy with me here, taking care of you and everything. You were like a real child to me. Maybe this is the feeling of having your own.
Time heals! I know, slowly but surely.
PS. I have made this as my pilot story at my site in godaddy, which I have decided not to continue and develop, because I have to subscribe. I’m not yet ready for any subscriptions. I just wanna write and share a story.
