It's easy. Kailangan lang namin tumulong sa pag-aalaga sa mga hayop sa tuwing may oras kami. We can also help the staff rescue stray animals. If we don't have the means to donate, we can establish a donation.
Since I was young, I've wanted to have at least one pet. Ngunit allergic si Mommy sa hayop, kaya naman hindi ako nagkaroon ng pagkakataon. When I learned to earn money, I started donating to animal shelters and feeding some stray animals I found on the streets.
"The shelter is always open. Puwede kang pumunta ano mang oras. They are also open for adoption, but they're strict since most of the animals there are abused or from the streets. Being there is already a big help." Si Ysabelle habang ginagalaw ang kaniyang pasta.
I nodded. This isn't new to me. It's been a while since I've done this. Ito ang madalas naming gawin ni Fadia sa tuwing may oras kami.
"Alright. Just give me the address and their hotline.
"Sure!" She smiled happily.
The first day of school ended peacefully. Imbis na dumiretso sa aking condo, napagpasyahan kong umuwi sa bahay namin. My sister keeps sending me death threats, and I feel like I'm doing them wrong by not stopping by.
Tahimik ang buong tanggapan nang makaapak ako sa loob. Dad is not always here. He's always in his office. A typical workaholic. Orionis, our agency where actors and artists are molded, dominated Asia three years ago.
Sinimulan ni Daddy ang negosyo niya nang mamatay ang mama nina Ate Reese at Ate Bianca. And now, some of our agency's actors, especially the musicians, are known internationally.
Kaya naman naging abala si Dad nitong mga nagdaang taon. I heard he's planning to establish another branch in New York for international aspirants.
"Look who's here." Ate Reese smirked upon seeing me.
I rolled my eyes. "What do you want? Those death threats you sent me aren't classy, you know." I winced.
"Be nice, Vic. Mommy always complained about you being missing in action. Hindi puwedeng kami lang ang magdusa." She smiled evilly.
Halos masira ang mukha ko sa narinig. Our stepmother is years younger than Dad. And strangely, she's the most clingy person I've met. I heard she had multiple miscarriages in her previous marriage.
Hanggang sa nasabi ng doktor na delikado na para sa kaniya at sa batang dadalhin niya kung magbubuntis pa siya ulit.
Sabay kaming nag-angat ng tingin ni Ate Reese sa engrandeng hagdanan nang maistorbo kami ng mabibilis na yapak. My eyes widened when Mommy Liz walked towards me, half-running.
"Ludovica!" She called while running down.
Umawang ang aking bibig at inangat ang mga kamay, bahagya iyong kinakaway habang nakatitig sa cleavage niyang naghahampasan bawat galaw niya. Halos lumabas na iyon sa suot niyang dress!
"H-Hey! Your chest-" I got squished when she jumped at me.
Niyakap niya ako nang mahigpit. Halos pigain niya na ako habang patalon-talon akong niyayakap. She was making inaudible sounds and even rubbed her cheeks on mine fast. Kulang na lang ay umusok iyon!
"Oh my God! I missed you!" she said with so much joy.
I looked at Ate Reese, asking for help. But the devil just stuck her tongue out. Halos mahilo na ako sa kakaalog sa akin ni Mommy Liz.
"Bakit ngayon ka lang pumunta?" Sa wakas, pinakawalan na niya ako upang harapin. "Your brother came here, looking for you! Hindi rin kita ma-contact!"
"Ah... I was busy. Pero ngayon, hindi na." I smirked.
