Lock & Luck (A futuristic reality...)

Chapter 10: Made in China? - Part 1

Sarah: Anong gagawin natin ngayon niyan?! (I said in frustration.)

Matt: Let me sleep here... I’ll find another hotel tomorrow.

 

I stared at him and felt again how much I missed him.

Sarah: No... hindi pwede.

Matt: Why?!

Sarah: Basta! Hindi pwede...

Matt: Okay... Sleep sound here and I’ll let myself froze outside.

 

He’s now pulling his luggage, going out of my room. And it’s negative 3 degrees outside for heaven’s sake.

Sarah: Matt! Okay, okay... Dito ka na matulog. But promise me you’ll behave.

Matt: Lagi naman akong behave ah. (A naughty smile is evident on his face.)

Sarah: Che! Kelan pa nangyari yun? Ito nga’t namumula pa ito dahil sa kalokohan mo! (I’m pertaining to my neck.)

 

He just laughed at what I said.

He put his luggage on the side and got some things. A piece of cloth and toiletries...

Matt: Just relax, okay? I won’t do anything you don’t want to... Alam mo naman yan. (He looks so serious now.)

Shower lang ako.

 

It’s not a safe situation, I know...

Paikot-ikot ako sa room kakaisip kung anong magandang gawin.

I checked on my luggage, ghad! Bakit ba ito ang nadala kong pantulog?

Malay ko ba kasing magkakaroon ako ng kasama sa kwarto?!

I brought a spaghetti strap and cotton shorts just 5 inches long.

Where are you t-shirts and pajama when I needed you the most?

-------------------------------

After 30 minutes, he went out of the bathroom with just his boxers on.

Sarah: Ano ba naman yan, Matt?! (Sabi ko sabay iwas ng tingin dito)

Matt: What’s the matter? (Sabay lapit nito sa kin)

Sarah: Mag t-shirt ka man lang nga! Kainis to! (Pagtataboy ko dito.)

Matt: The heater is just so high, pagpapawisan lang ako. Hindi naman natin pwedeng babaan, alam ko namang lamigin ka.

Sarah: No!!! Magti-t-shirt ka or manigas ka na talaga dun sa labas?!

Matt: Tsss... Heto na. (Sabay punta nito doon sa luggage niya at kumuha ng white v-neck t-shirt).

 

At bigla kong naisip, baka naman may isa pa siyang ganun.

Isusuot ko na lang kasama nitong shorts ko kaysa naman dito sa spaghetti strap na ‘to.
