I got a text from my sister that my dog is in the hospital after I received her message I rushed and make my way to the parking lot. Unfortunately, as soon as I step out of our building the heavy rain poured down. Shit, why now?

Hindi ako pwede lumusong sa ulan dahil kakagaling ko palang sa sakit. My mom might scold me. I was hoping that my dog is fine. Palingon-lingon ako sa kaliwa at kanan, hoping to see someone who has an umbrella, makikisabay nalang ako. I badly need to go. Kinapa ko ang cellphone ko sa bulsa ng bag ko bago pa man ako makapag type sa cellphone ko. It was as if I was enlightened when suddenly someone stopped in front of me and opened the umbrella. Before she could step her foot I immediately sheltered myself in her umbrella.

"Pwede pasabay?" I politely asked. I felt her stiffened. She looked up to me but that was only for a second because she also averted her eyes. She just nod at me before we make our way to parking lot.
