"When I look back to it now, hindi pala nakakagalit yung ginawa niyo Ry, nakakatawa."

"Hahaha sobra, takot na takot ka nun."

"Kasi naman eh grabe kayo, I was minding my own business in my bedroom tapos dinukot niyo ako!"

"Ang ineexpect pala kasi ni Gigi nun, shocking, astonishing but at the same time romantic. Dapat kasi si Karina or si Yeji yung kinausap niya about sa pag sundo sayo, hindi si Winter. Alam mo naman na kakaiba mag isip yan."

"Tangina pano naging romantic yun, sinakluban niyo ako ng sako!"

"Hahahahaha sorry na nga eh."

"Hahahaha grabe how can I forget that night, tangina never. Ito na I'm going to read about it, gusto mo ba makibasa?"

"Sige na nga, pero wag mo sabihin kay Winter ha."

"Hindi naman magagalit yan eh."

Two Days Before Ning and Giselle's Anniversary

Queen Gi:   got it!

I'm back here in the study room at kakatapos lang namin mag dinner, inaayos ko pa din yung mga gagamitin namin na props para sa Sabado, day ng anniversary nila Ning. Si Rina kanina pa ako pinapaamin tungkol dito sa mga binili ko, hindi ko naman pwede sabihin sakanya kung para saan dahil ayaw ko na ma-spoil yung gagawin namin at baka ma-disappoint pa sakin si Giselle.

Kakausapin ko na bukas sila Ry and Heejin para mafinalize na yung plano kung pano namin madadala si Ning sa Batangas without her knowing na may malaking surprise na naghihintay sakanya.

Kanina ko pa pinaglalaruan yung voice changing device pati na din yung steel handcuffs na binili ko sa Lazada. After namin umuwi from Tagaytay ni Gigi nung weekend, inorder ko na kagad lahat ng kailangan online para makaabot before Saturday.

"Baby cuffing season na!" Nakasuot sakin yung posas na binili ko at kinabit ko sa left wrist ni Rina yung isa. "Hahaha what the hell are you doing nanaman Pup?"

"I'm just trying it out, it looks rigid noh babe? Tignan mo you can't break out from it that easy." Hinahatak ko yung kamay ko from her wrist, mukang matibay nga yung posas at hindi basta basta mapuputol. "Yeah it is, what are you gonna use this for ba?"

"Dadalin ko nga sa school bukas, nakailan beses mo na tinanong."

"You're lying to me I can see it in your face."

"Dadalin ko nga sa strength of materials class, kailangan namin to."

"Can I borrow the key, I wanna try unlocking a handcuff, I haven't done this before."

"Sige ito wag mo wawalain ha, isang pair lang yan."

"There's no extra key?"

"Wala eh yan na yun, isang pair lang binigay. Dun tayo sa living room babe, tapos ka na ba dito sa kitchen?"

"Yeah, let's hang out before we take a shower. Do you want to watch a movie?"

"No, I'm busy."

"Busy with what? You've been creating a clutter in the study room kanina pa."

"I think you confuse being productive with making a mess. I am being productive." Nakasuot pa din samin yung handcuffs hanggang sa nakalipat na kami sa living room. "Pup you are such an idiot, we are wearing the cuffs on our left wrists, how are you gonna sit beside me? You need to sit on my lap." 

"No I'll do it like this." Lumipat ako ng pwesto, kung kanina naka harap ako sakanya ngayon nakahiga na ako sa lap niya. "Why do we always end up doing weird things Winter?"

"Hahaha always, you mean to say fun things? Hindi naman, tsaka literal na cuffing season nga eh, what if ganito tayo lagi babe?"

"Stuck with each other wearing handcuffs?"

"Yeah."

"That's torture."

"Huh? Torture kasi nakadikit ka lagi sakin?"

"That may have sounded off but I didn't mean it that way. I only said it's torture because we will not be able to move and it will be hard for us to do things."

"Weh torture pala sayo pag kasama mo ko ha, sige bahala ka na sa buhay mo Karina."

"Ang epal mo Pup, don't twist my words."

"I'm kidding hahaha. Baby try mo nga unlock tong nakakabit sa kamay ko, tignan mo kung madali iopen gamit yung susi." Tinapat ko kay Rina yung wrist ko na may posas, hindi ko pa kasi nasubukan kung nagwwork nga ba yung pair of keys with the lock. "Babe?"

"Baby unlock mo na."

"Rina?"

Parang wala ata naririnig si Karina at hanggang ngayon hindi niya pa din binubuksan yung posas sa kamay ko. "Babe?" Nararamdaman ko na yung ngalay dahil medyo uncomfortable yung pagkakahiga ko sa lap niya at hindi ko masyado maigalaw yung left arm ko."Baby buksan mo na, what are you doing ba?"

"Wait."

"Are you okay babe, shoot mo lang dito oh, nakita mo yung butas."

"Wait."

"Ang tagal naman, ako na nga, akin na yung susi." Naramdaman ko na sinusubukan niya tumayo at mukang may hinahanap siya sa pocket niya. "Is there something wrong?"

"Yes there is."

“Ano?”

"Pup, the key."

"Ano meron babe?"

"It's missing, I can't find it."

"Huh? It's with you. Kakaabot ko lang sayo bago tayo lumipat dito sa living room."

"Yeah I know, I was holding it before we sat down, now it's not here, nahulog ata."

"Huh? Eh nakita ko pa na hawak mo, wait nga." Umalis na ako sa pagkakahiga at tinulungan ko siyang hanapin yung susi ng handcuffs."Pup can we look in the kitchen? But I'm sure I was holding it."

"Sige tara."

"Babe wala din dito sa kitchen counter and sa floor. Saan pa ba pwede mahulog yun." Iniilawan na namin using our phones yung kitchen and living room para mas mabilis namin makita yung nawawalang susi. "I was holding it when we sat on the couch."

"Weh I think you're just messing with me o ayan natawa na ako, ilabas mo na."

"It was just here, hawak ko before tayo umupo."

"Check all of your pockets nga, totoo ba? Baka nangloloko ka lang eh."

"I am not Winter ano ba!"

"Karina seryoso ka?!"

", baka napunta sa gilid and nahulog sa loob ng couch."

"Holy babe ano ba?! Hindi pwede mawala yun! Pano to, maaga pa naman ako pupunta sa school bukas. Ano yun papasok ako ng naka posas ka sakin?"

"That's why we have to find it!"

"Baby nangloloko ka lang eh. I know you."

"Can you stop and help me look for it? Kung ano ano kasi ginagawa mo Winter."

"Bakit ako sinisisi mo eh sinubukan ko lang naman, hindi mo kasi iningatan yung susi."

"Now how are we going to take this off?!"

"Hanapin nga natin yung susi eh, bakit ba kasi kinuha mo pa sakin hawak ko na nga kanina."

"Then why did you put this on me?! I was cleaning the kitchen bigla mo sinuot sakin to."

"Sinusubukan ko nga lang kung matibay ang kulit mo naman. Hanapin na natin."

"You're irritating, kung ano ano kasi ginagawa mo."

"Ako ba nag wala ng susi, nananahimik sakin kanina tapos kinuha mo pa."

"What are we going to do now? It's 9pm."

"I don't know hindi ako makapag isip, isa lang yung susi babe ano gagawin natin?"

"I'm not going to bed wearing handcuffs Winter, we need to take this off."

"Oo na wait lang, hindi ako makapag isip baby naiihi ako."

"Then go to the toilet, I'll come with you we don't have a choice."

"Ano ba naman yan."

"Don't give me that stare Pup, I was minding my own business in the kitchen and you suddenly put handcuffs on me, I didn't ask for this."

"Oo na, huwag ka na masyado gumalaw baka sumikip pa lalo yan, don't touch it."

Hindi naman talaga ako naiihi tntest ko lang si Rina at tinitignan ko yung reaction niya. Malakas talaga kutob ko na tinatago niya lang yung susi ng posas at pinagttripan niya ako. Kabisado ko yung galaw niya and nahahalata ko sa muka niya na may tinatago siya.

"Baby masakit din tiyan ko, I need to go for number two."

"You don't have a choice I'll go with you."

"Tangina?! Kadiri naman babe."

"You have no choice Pup, we're stuck. I'll go with you, sige na."

"Baby tangina kadiri, sasama ka sa loob?! Parang gago naman."

"Okay sige putulin nalang natin yan kamay mo so you can use the toilet."

"Karina naman eh, nakakainis ka." Hindi siya sumasagot at kitang kita ko sa muka niya na pinipigilan niyang tumawa. "I'll set you free in one condition Pup."

"O tignan mo, nasayo yung susi noh?!!" Hindi niya napigilan mag smile at pinakita niya sakin yung susi na galing sa back pocket niya. "Baby nakakainis ka talaga, kunyari ka pa na nagaalala ka, nag hanap pa tuloy tayo."

"Hahahaha I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Pup."

"Nakakainis ka, tapos inaaway mo pa ko, sinisisi mo ko epal ka. Unlock mo na to!"

"Hahahaha no! Not so fast my snail puppy. I'll let you go pag sinabi mo sakin kung ano yung gagawin mo with all the things you bought online. What are you gonna use them for?"

"It's for tomorrow's class nga."

"Pup wag ka na makulit, how many times do I have to tell you kilalang kilala kita, may gagawin ka nanaman!"

"Wala nga babe, dadalin ko yun sa class namin bukas, related yun sa topic."

"I don't want you to get in trouble Winter. It's not that I don't trust you pero yung mga binili mo, they are enough proof, I know that you're up to no good and you should be stopped."

"Bakit ba ganyan lagi iniisip mo sakin? O sige ihatid mo pa ako sa classroom, kahit itanong mo pa kay Heejin, kailangan nga namin magdala nun."

"Strength of Materials is a Math class Winter tinignan ko kanina. Anong gagawin mo sa mga ski masks? Obviously you're gonna do something na mapapahamak ka nanaman."

"Baby ang kulit mo naman, kung may gagawin akong masama edi sana hindi ko na pinakita sayo yung mga yun, tinago ko na dapat kahapon pa."

"You have a ski mask, a voice changer and handcuffs, ano kinalaman nung mga yun sa math? and may potato sack pa talaga!"

"Malay ko, itanong mo sa prof namin. Baka gusto niya icompute yung stress and strain ng handcuffs pati nung sako."

"The things you bought are very suspicious, are you gonna prank someone in school? Pag may nangyari sayo Winter I'm telling you, you're gonna get sanctioned, lagot ka kay tita and kay ate Taeyeon."

"Wala naman ako gagawin ang kulit mo naman Karina."

"Ski mask, handcuffs, voice changer, blindfold and a sack. At least tell me or give me a heads up if you are going to abduct someone or if you're gonna do some kind of robbery and para ma-ready ko yung sarili ko with the mess that you're gonna be in."

"Abduct, are you serious? what the are you saying babe? Sa classroom nga namin gagamitin yun."

"Be honest with me, alam ko na may pagka uto uto ka pa naman. Did you join a sorority, is that an initiation?"

"Ha? Hahahaha ano ba yan Rina ayaw ko nga sa mga ganun. Sino naman sasali sa sorority kung kailan patapos na yung school year tsaka ano gagawin ko dun, hindi ko type yung mga kasali they are all ugly as ."

"Pup sometimes you are gago talaga. Ano nga? When I saw the ski masks and the sack, I am a hundred percent sure it's not related to school. It's for a prank and you're going to do it with who? Of course it's Ryujin."

"Baby I'm just being honest. Kaya nga kung gusto mo ihatid mo nalang ako tomorrow sa classroom
