Chapter 2
''Remember''

While I was walking back to the garden, the wind blew hard causing my hair to fly everwhere. Naiinis na sinikop ko iyon gamit lamang ang isang kamay. And when I fixed it to one side, some of my hair got stucked at the back of my dress.

Oh, come on!

''Ugh!'' I tried to pull it myself but it was really stucked. Mukhang sa zipper pa!

Lumapit ako sa bulwagan ng kanilang mansyon, sa teresa. Nilagay ko ang regalo sa barandilya at pinagmasdan ang paligid. There were lights all over their manor. Lumipat ako sa medyo madilim na parte dahil ayaw kong may makakita. When I'm already sure that no one's around, I tried to pull my hair again. Masakit pero pinagpatuloy ko. Sinubukan kong buksan ang zipper ng damit ko pero lalo lamang na may sumabit.

''Kainis!''

To my anger, I harshly pulled the zipper back. Laking gulat ko nang matanggal iyon at marinig ang konting pagkapunit at pagbukas ng aking damit. My eyes went wide when I felt the wind brushing my bare back. Sinilip ko ang aking likod at nakitang tuluyan na ngang bumaba ang zipper noon! And what's worse, sira na! Para akong binusuhan nang malamig na tubig.

''Oh my gosh!?''

''Are you... okay?'' I heard a deep voice.

Napahawak ako sa harap ng aking damit dahil medyo lumuwag na iyon. Agad na hinarap ang taong pinanggalingan ng boses dahil paniguradong kitang kita na ang buong likod ko! I just realized now how dark it is here when the only thing I could see is a portion of his face, the other sides are covered by shadow.

Oh, heavens! This is a man! Paano ko sasabihin ang problema ko?!

''My dress malfunctioned. Do you, uh, happened to have a spare clothes?''

Kahit madilim ay kita ko kung paano nangunot ang kanyang noon. For sure, wala naman siyang damit na pwede sa'kin! And oh, who does even bring spare one at parties?! Pinagpawisan ako pero pilit kong kinalma ang boses at sarili.

''Get me a safety pin.''

''I don't have one. Do I look like I bring safety pin all the time?'' he asked in a sarcastic way.

I scowled. Right. He got a point there.

''I can't go back there looking like this.'' I mumbled to myself. How can I go back there to ask some help from my mom? O kaya pipilitin ko silang umuwi na kami! Pero paano ko sila kakausapin? And my phone's inside my pouch, which is with Daddy!

''I have clothes upstairs. Maybe I can lend you something...'' he looked at from head to toe. ''suitable for you.''

He look so cocky. Iritadong sinalubong ko ang kanyang mga mata. But wait, upstairs? Inside the De Leon's Manor? He has a room here? Is he one of them?

Umirap ako. Whatever. ''Lead the way, please.''

Tumango siya at nagsimula nang maglakad. He glanced at me when he saw me struggling with my dress. May pagtataka rin sa kanyang mga mata. Hindi niya siguro alam kung anong problema sa'kin. Well, he couldn't see my problem that's why he has that reaction.

Panay ang tingin ko sa paligid. Silently praying that no one will see me at this state. Everyone's busy outside but for sure, marami ring tao dito sa loob. This guy... nakita niya nga ako kahit madilim, what more inside this well luminated mansion? Someone will probably see me, and at the state of almost naked!
