Please Subscribe to read the full chapter

Yung graduation nila Karina, I remember going to the event with her family and all of them were there, even ate Tiffany. Nagpuntahan din yung mga friends namin kasi tatlo sila na nag graduate nun, kasabay niya sila Gigi and Lia. Yeji and Hyunjin's graduation was scheduled on a different day pero naka attend din kami nila Ning.

 

 

Yung school break before fourth year college was really fun, nag stay lang kami most of the time sa Alabang and sa condo. May mga getaways din kami with our friends, although iilan nalang unlike before na ang dami, yung ibang friends kasi namin like sila Yeji, Gigi,Chaer and Lia they went abroad for vacation with family. Siyempre yung dalawang best friends kong tanga kasama din ng mga girlfriends nila.

 

 

It was an exciting experience kasi yun yung pinaka simula ng career ni Karina, naalala ko pa yung time na tinutulungan ko siya mag send sa mga job search sites hanggang sa nakahanap na siya ng work na gusto niya. She didn't move out and she chose to live with me even after college. Things are going really well between us, we're living in a bigger condo our careers are both thriving although ngayon hindi ko iddeny, sobrang nagkakaproblema na talaga kami sa oras.

 

 

 

 

Sa Saturday na yung graduation nila Karina pero hindi siya sigurado kung aattend ako. Well pupunta naman talaga ako kasi I cannot miss out on that, tsaka laude yung baby ko and I am such a proud girlfriend. Her parents invited me na sumama sakanila pati sa dinner after her graduation, hindi ko nga lang sinasabi sa kanya dahil parang one week na niya akong kinukulit tungkol dito.

 

 

"Pup final na, are you gonna attend my graduation?"

 

 

"No."

 

 

"Why not?"

 

 

"I'm grounded dba, buong school break according to mommy and ate Taeyeon."

 

 

"But that's a very important event to me and I want you to be there."

 

 

"I am not allowed to go outside dba, I got grounded because of the prank na sinumbong niyo."

 

 

"Hey you better stop it! Hindi ka sinumbong ni Ning ikaw yung naglaglag sa sarili mo, we were just bluffing you and tinatakot ka lang namin. Ikaw yung nagsabi kay ate Taeyeon Winter, don't blame us!"

 

 

"Hahahaha ang epal niyo kasi eh bakit niya kausap si ate, so I assumed na sinumbong niyo ako kahit hindi naman pala. Nilaglag ko pa tuloy yung sarili ko."

 

 

"As if naman isusumbong ka ni Ning, the three of you think alike and she is your best friend never ka ilalaglag nun. It was Ning's plan na lokohin ka and as I see it, she succeeded."

 

 

"It's too late now, I'm grounded because of my own stupidity."

 

 

"Hahahaha you are such a bad liar, you're the one who did that to yourself, naisahan ka ni Ning and now the two of you are even."

 

 

"Well, I admit na mabilis ako mahuli when I'm lying pero seryoso ako, I won't be going to your graduation."

 

 

"Fine."

 

 

"From now on I plan to follow all the rules and hindi na ako gagawa ng kahit anong kalokohan. So I'm really sorry baby I cannot go to your graduation because I'm grounded. Balak ko talaga sundin yung sinabi ni ate Taeyeon."

 

 

"Fine. Grounded you say? Yesterday you were out biking with Heejin, Ry and Ennik tapos ngayon sasabihin mo grounded ka? Bahala ka nga."

 

 

Naririnig ko na nagdadabog na si Rina, nauubos na yung pasensya niya sakin kasi everytime na tatanungin niya ako tungkol sa graduation niya, I always decline. Hindi niya alam na nung isang linggo ko pa nakausap yung parents niya at sasama ako sakanila.

 

 

Pumasok ako sa bathroom at nakita ko siya na nakatayo by the lavatory. Pinalibot ko yung braso ko sa bewang niya at pinatong ko yung ulo ko sa balikat niya. "Baby I am so proud of you." 

 

 

"Thank you."

 

 

"Pero hindi talaga ako aattend sa graduation mo."

 

 

"Okay!"

 

 

"Araaaay! Rina nasasanay ka na kakakurot sakin nakakainis!"

 

 

"Ang kulit mo eh!"

 

 

"Hahaha I'm just kidding, I'll be going with your family ininvite nila ako kaya I'll go with them."

 

 

"Really? Oh my god Pup I'm sorry for pinching you ang kulit mo kasi, lagi ka nangiinis, can I see it?" Tinitignan niya yung tagiliran ko na kinurot niya. "Isa pang kurot mo sakin I'm gonna file for a restraining order na."

 

 

"Restraining order for a tiny pinch?"

 

 

"Hahaha yes ang sakit kaya."

 

 

"Okay sige how about you file for this?!" Nacorner ako ni Rina sa pinto ng cabinet, she kept poking my sides and hindi siya tumigil kakakiliti sakin. "Rina ayaw ko na, I can't breathe! Enough na babe hindi na kita iinisin I swear!!!"

 

 

"Hahahahaha you have to come up with a safe word!"

 

 

"Safe word? Hala ang bastos mo Karina!"

 

 

"Hahahahaha crazy I don't mean it ually!"

 

 

"Bawal safe word because we don't need that, we're not gonna stop hanggat nakakalakad pa tayo." 

 

 

"Oh really? Okay I won't stop then!" Kiniliti pa din ni Karina yung sides ko, mas malakas at mas matangkad siya sakin kaya hindi ako makawala sakanya. "Baby ayaw ko na tap out na. I can't breathe pag nangingiliti ka!"

 

 

"Hahahaha okay I'm gonna stop now I'm tired. Pup how about we watch a movie?"

 

 

"Sure, ano gusto mo? Oh no I shouldn't have asked you that. Frozen nanaman yung pipiliin mo, baby nagiging frozen na yung utak ko kakanood natin nun."

 

 

"Okay let's be fair bawal din American Sniper. Why don't we check out other movies nalang."

 

 

"Gusto mo Romeo and Juliet? The one with Leo and Claire Danes ang panget nung medyo bago eh."

 

 

"Okay it's two in the afternoon palang let's go watch in the living room."

 

 

"Ano ba ginagawa mo dito sa bathroom?"

 

 

"I came here to fix our stuff, but now I'm done."

 

 

"Our stuff? Yung mga binili mo nanaman yan eh. Dun na tayo sa living room." 

 

 

"Winter I can't believe it."

 

 

"What is it?"

 

 

"You don't have classes na and in two days I will be officially unemployed. What are we gonna do during school break Pup?"

 

 

"Uhm for sure we are going to surf, we're gonna do a lot of amazing things here at our place, we're gonna travel and you will be looking for a job, dba?"

 

 

"Yeah okay we'll do that, I like how you always make everything sound so easy."

 

 

"Well I hope I am not wrong. Tara na let's go to the living room, dun ka muna sa couch while I'll prepare the snacks."

 

 

"I want you to give me a piggyback."

 

 

"Sure halika na, wag ka mangingiliti ha baka mahulog kita." Medyo bumaba ako sa tapat niya para makasakay siya sa likod ko. "Be quick my snail puppy!" Lumabas na kami sa pinto ng bathroom habang pasan ko siya. "Okay let's go my giant baby!" 

 

 

 

 

 

Sa totoo lang, I'm quite sad that Rina is already done with school and hindi ko na siya makikita sa university, but a part of me is also glad because it is a new chapter for her and for our relationship. I am excited to see where her career takes her and all the doors that are about to open for her. I know that she will be great at it, pero sana talaga pag tagal, walang magbabago samin.

 

 

The other day lang natapos yung finals exam namin kaya pati ako wala ng pasok ngayon and I have so much time on my hands. We will be going home tomorrow sa Alabang kasi sa Saturday ng hapon yung graduation ni Karina. I was moved nung inimbita ako mismo ng mom and dad niya na sumama sakanila, nung tinanong nila ako, agad kong inaccept yung invitation at mabilis akong nag paalam kila mommy.

 

 

"Pup I've fixed the couch na and the throw blanket is here, ikaw nalang kulang!"

 

 

"I'm coming just wait a sec. Baby can you please help me with the drinks?"

 

 

"Nope! Ayaw ko!"

 

 

"Okay bahala ka dyan pag nabilaukan ka."

 

 

Papunta na ako sa living room, bitbit ko na yung tray na may iba't ibang snacks na lagi namin kinakain ni Rina. Today we're gonna watch a romance film since ang dami namin oras at wala kaming magawa, sigurado ako na hindi nanaman to tatapusin ni Karina kasi it's either makakatulog lang siya or we'll end up talking about anything.

 

 

"Okaaay the usual position, dito ka sakin sumandal ka and I will hug you."

 

 

"I'm the small spoon again?"

 

 

"Baby always remember that spooning leads to forking. Walang spoon spoon ngayon dahil manonood tayo ng movie."

 

 

"Hahahaha shut up. Hug na dali na Winter ano ba."

 

 

"Ang impatient mo talaga, sige na dito ka na." Niyakap ko siya ng sobrang higpit sa leeg niya, hindi niya namamalayan that I'm just playing with her kaya chnchoke ko siya at tinatakpan ko yung muka niya with my right hand. "Why are you hugging me so tight I cannot even see the screen."

 

 

"Niyayakap kita, sabi mo eh. Ang dami naman reklamo Karina."

 

 

"Hahahaha ang epal, remove your hand naman kasi you're covering my face with it wala akong makita."

 

 

"Baby you are engot, sinasadya ko kayang takpan. Hahahahaha"

 

 

"Nakakainis ka! Ilan minutes yung na-miss out natin on the movie, play it from the start." Siya yung nakaisip kaya siya din yung kumuha at pumindot sa remote.

 

 

 

 

 

Nagsimula na kami manood ni Rina, I'm hugging her habang nakasandal siya sakin and we're eating snacks. Medyo malakas yung aircon kaya we're using a throw blanket kahit pa alas dos palang ng hapon.

 

 

"Have we watched this film before?" Tanong sakin ni Rina habang sinusubuan niya ako nung pringles na kinakain niya. "Uhm I'm not sure, pero napanood na ata namin nila Ning sa house nila."

 

 

"Grabe Leo is so hot and good looking talaga when he was younger."

 

 

"Yeah I know, he's so fine."

 

 

"Pup naisip ko lang, what if we were straight ano kaya ginagawa natin ngayon, like who are we dating?"

 

 

Natawa ako sa tanong ni Karina, ang lakas ng loob niya mag tanong sakin ng ganito. "Uhm why don't you tell me kung sino."

 

 

"What? I have no idea and I can't imagine myself going out with the opposite ."

 

 

"Ah talaga ba Karina, inentertain mo nga yung Jaehyun eh, tapos pinaghintay mo ako sa cafe hindi mo ako sinipot."

 

 

"I hate you ayan ka nanaman!"

 

 

"Hahahaha tanong ka pa talaga ha. Dba biual ka baby?"

 

 

"Uhm I only dated one guy and we haven't done anything, dba I've told you about that naman. Yung iba wala lang yun."

 

 

"Tanga edi biual ka nga." Nakatanggap nanaman ako ng kurot sa cheek ko. "Baby ang sakit ha, konti nalang talaga Karina, restraining order."

 

 

"Hahahaha gago."

 

 

"Minumura mo pa ko. So hindi counted yung Jaehyun?"

 

 

"Yuck he is not, we didn't have anything going on. Ano nga Pup, what if we were straight?"

 

 

"Edi ganun, you could've been dating a guy, you could've done the same thing. Like now, you're watching a movie while cuddling, but with a guy nga lang."

 

 

"Oh my god I cannot imagine myself doing this with a different person, even with a girl. It would feel weird and gross. Sayo ko lang gusto, let's not get tired of each other, ever. Pup I am serious, I cannot be with someone else gusto ko ikaw lang."

 

 

"Yeah you're not going anywhere, you will stay with me."

 

 

"Tapos mapupunta ka sa iba oh my ing god it pisses me off just thinking about it."

 

 

"Baby nakakatawa ka, ikaw din yung sobrang na-cringe tsaka nabbwisit sa scenario na binigay mo. hahahaha manood ka na nga lang."

 

 

"I'm trying to imagine it, hindi ko kaya. I cannot be with anyone else, ikaw lang gusto ko. I want to stay with you until we grow old."

 

 

"Yeah we will be together until we're two hundred years old."

 

 

"Hahahaha what's up with two hundred, why do you always say that?"

 

 

"One hundred years of being with you is not enough, so ginawa kong times two. Gusto mo ba times ten? Para ka ng dinosaur nun babe, extinct."

 

 

"You are so ing weird talaga but I love it. Okay you have to keep your promise, two hundred years."

 

 

"Yeah I won't break it."

 

 

"Pup you're not watching na."

 

 

"Dinadaldal mo ako eh, you and your random questions."

 

 

 

 

 

We went back to watching, I got the ottoman chair and some pillows from the bedroom para mas comfortable kami. Nakapatong na yung paa namin kaya parehas na kaming nakahiga at nakaharap sa tv habang nanonood.

 

 

"I kinda like this version of Romeo and Juliet, it's very odd."

 

 

"Yeah it's the modern version, okay din yung soundtrack."

 

 

"They're both going to die, but how?"

 

 

"Manood ka nalang baby ang daldal mo talaga pag nag mmovie tayo. Pansin mo, tatlo lang ginagawa natin pag nanonood eh."

 

 

"What?"

 

 

"We makeout, we eat snacks and dumadaldal ka."

 

 

"Hahahaha are you not used to it?"

 

 

"I'm used to it kaya nga kabisado ko na eh. Kahit ikaw yung little spoon tapos nakatalikod ka sakin ang daldal mo pa din."

 

 

"Hahahaha sorry!"

 

 

"It's okay, you can do whatever you want." Humarap bigla si Rina at yumakap siya sakin. I gave her a peck and I kissed her mole. "I love you." Bulong ko sakanya. Pumatong siya sakin and we started kissing passionately. "I love you too Winter." Naramdaman ko na pinasok niya yung kamay niya sa loob ng shirt ko, she wanted to touch me, so I let her.

 

She pulled my shirt up and she brought her face down to my chest, I could feel her lips, she was kissing and marking me. Hinawakan ko yung muka niya at inangat ko siya ng dahan dahan. "Baby, come up na. Hindi mo na napanood yung movie."

 

 

"Sorry I got carried away, what happened to the movie na Pup?"

 

 

"Hahaha ewan ko sayo, dito ka na nga kung ano ano ginagawa mo eh."

 

 

 

 

Nag cuddle nalang kami ni Rina the whole time we were watching. We became invested on the movie kaya after a few hours natapos na din namin. 

 

 

"Pup another random question."

 

 

"Ano yun?"

 

 

"When we're old na, sino kaya mauuna mawala satin?"

 

 

"What? mawawala you mean like dead?"

 

 

"Yeah."

 

 

"Ano ba naman yan tanong mo baby, wag ka nga magtanong ng mga ganyan."

 

 

"Naisip ko lang based on the movie we just saw, they both died because of a silly mistake."

 

 

"Then what do you want me to say, I don't know how to answer your question."

 

 

"I don't think I can take it pag ikaw yung nauna Winter."

 

 

"What the baby ano ba yan, will you stop it? Walang mawawala, I'll be with you hangga't gusto mo." 

 

 

"But I'm serious, hindi ko kaya na wala ka Pup."

 

 

"Babe ano ba yan mga sinasabi mo ang weird mo nanaman, what's wrong ba? Nagkakaganyan ka siguro kasi uuwi na tayo and hindi tayo magkakasama ng ilan weeks."

 

 

"Yeah but I'm just saying."

 

 

"I will stay with you, or kung gusto mo ganito nalang, ikaw nalang mauna satin dalawa."

 

 

"Ang gago mo pup do you want me to die?"

 

 

"Of course not! Sinasabi ko lang, kasi pag ako yung nauna hindi mo kakayanin sabi mo, so ikaw nalang mauna para hindi ka malulungkot."

 

 

"What the heck, but you have a point. I love you, I want us to be together for a very long time."

 

 

"Oo nga hanggang two hundred years nga dba kay wag ka mag alala. You are such a downer babe, ang saya nga ng afternoon natin tapos bigla ka nagtatanong kung sino unang mamamatay."

 

 

"Hahahaha eh kasi naisip ko lang because of the movie."

 

 

"Don't entertain the negative and bad thoughts. Baby anong gusto mo gawin, do you wanna like go out or mag dinner tayo sa labas?"

 

 

"Let's stay here nalang and then later we will cook. Do you want to help me?"

 

 

"Of course, ubusin na natin yung stock konti nalang yung nandyan eh. We're gonna go home na din tomorrow."

 

 

"I'm gonna miss you."

 

 

"Oh no, ngayon ko lang narealize uuwi na tayo so matagal kita hindi makakasama."

 

 

"Yeah exactly."

 

 

"But it's okay we can stay here in the condo kung gusto mo or when you start your job search na, papayag naman sila mommy."

 

 

"Yeah we can figure out the set up after graduation."

 

 

"Okay, we can always meet naman and I can go to your house or you can go to mine, don't be sad na."

 

 

"I got used to seeing you everyday. You think it's a bad thing?"

 

 

"Uhm medyo pero hindi naman tayo sobrang clingy because we still do a lot of things separately and hindi din naman tayo lagi magkasama when we go out with friends. Baby pano pala yun, pinayagan ka na talaga nila tita na you will live with me after college, sure na talaga yun?"

 

 

"Yeah even dad didn't disagree, nagulat din ako na pumayag siya kagad."

 

 

"That's really nice pero bakit kaya?"

 

 

"I think it's because they know you too well and I guess sanay na sila sayo."

 

 

"Ah yeah, pwede. Baka nga."

 

 

"Eh kasi naman Pup ilan times ka na nila nakakasama, when you go to our house you talk to them most of the time. Tapos ka-close mo pa sila ate, especially ate Irene."

 

 

"That's actually the biggest plot twist ever, you know how she hated my guts before tapos ngayon close na kami. Pero on
