Jin Liwei and Iris chatted about their day at the farm villa while driving. She enjoyed herself, while he felt dissatisfied that he wasn't able to spend the entire day with just the two of them. It was supposed to be a romantic date, not a group outing.
When the view started to transition from rural to urban, the sun was almost setting.
"Wait! Stop the car!" Iris suddenly exclaimed.
Jin Liwei parked by the curb. "What's wrong?"
She didn't answer. Instead, she quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door and jumped outside.
"Baby, where are you going?" He also unbuckled his seatbelt and followed her outside.
Iris trotted to the grassy and rocky roadside. Then she squatted in front of a cardboard box and poked at something inside.
He heard mewling sounds when he neared her. He looked over and found two tiny kittens shivering inside the box. His baby girl was rubbing them with a finger. Then he noticed a scrawled note taped on the box which read: "Please take care of us."
I was craving for popcorn & ice cream when I wrote this chapter so yeah...
When I was a small child, we had a puppy. I named the poor dog "Mukat" which means "eye booger" in the Ilocano language. I thought it was hilarious then. Thinking back now, I feel so sorry for the puppy for having an owner like me. I wonder why my family just accepted such a crappy name. They should've stopped me! Oh well, I got my DNA from them so I guess they found it funny too.
Sorry, Mukat!
