Chaining Lockets

Kabanata 30

This is Chaining Lockets' last chapter. This book is hard to write but this is the most satisfying book I'd ever writing for years of writing. I know this book is hard to read for some but thank you for making it this far. I hope you learned something from Pingu and Pinga's story because I learned a lot while writing them.

You can join our twitter party by using the hashtag #CLUnchainedFinale and let's celebrate penguin family's healing! The update next to this one will be Wakas with Locket's POV.

Kabanata 30

I think I had a good night sleep. Magaan ang pakiramdam ko at mukhang mahaba-haba ang tulog ko.

What a good sleep! I feel so refreshed!

I groaned, yawning a bit while flexing my hand while rolling on the bed.

"Ah! I think I'm not bangag anymore." I whispered, may tumama sa katawan ko pagka-ikot ko at nang maisipang unan ko iyon ay mabilis kong tinandayan at niyakap, sumisinghot pa.

"Bango naman, amoy Lorcan Keith." I said, smiling, touching the pillow but then it moved.

"You slept well, huh?" A husky, low voice asked.

"Yeah," I answered nonchalantly.

"Sana all..." the voice answered at doon na napamulat ang mata ko, nanlalaki nang makita si Lorcan Keith.

"L-Locket..." I blinked when I saw his gray eyes staring at me. "W-what happened to you..." unti-unting umangat ang tingin ko sa kamay niya.

"Surprise!" he said sourly kaya napamura na ako, halos mapabalikwas sa gulat at pinagmasdan siyang nakahiga sa kama.

He's wearing nothing on top and his maong pants, ang kanyang kamay ay nakataas, making me see his yummy underarms and muscular arms, his chiseled chest is mouthwatering while cuffed on the headboard.

"Good morning din sa'yo, Bok Joo." He said bitterly kaya sumulyap ako sa mukha niya and to my horror, I saw his tired and sleepy eyes, may eyebags pa ata kaya umawang ang labi ko.

"H-have you even slept?"

He eyed me seriously kaya napalo ko ang bibig, "sabi ko nga, hindi. Nakatulog ba ako? I-I promise I'm not drunk! H-hindi nga ako nahihilo ngayon, eh. May energy ako! Look!" tumayo pa ako sa gilid ng kama at nag-stretching sa harap niya.

"See?" Kumembot pa ako, "hindi ako madaling malasing—"

"My wrist hurts, baby." He said in a low voice.

"Oh, shit!" Doon na ako natauhan sa nangyayari at mabilis na tumalon sa kama. I touched his wrists, narinig ko ang daing niya kaya napamura na ako sa isipan at hinila ulit. "OMG, I can't open this!"

"The keys are on the side drawer," aniya at sa panic ay naupo ako sa may tiyan niya habang inaabot ang susi sa gilid.

"Crest..." he called.

"Sandali, nakita ko na." I said, tumungo pa ng bahagya habang nakaupo sa tiyan niya, humawak ako sa dibdib niya para mas maabot ang susi at napangiti nang maabot iyon.

"Here na!" I cheered at mas umayos ng upo, I think I was seated on his chest while I'm uncuffing him and he's just sighing underneath me.

"Don't sit like that, Crest Veronica." Aniya sa malalim na boses kaya nagulat ako at ibinaba ang tingin sa kanya.

"Huh?"

"Don't..." his eyes darkened. "Don't sit like that."

"What? Why?" I asked, tumingin sa sarili na nakaupo sa may dibdib niya. "I was just uncuffing you, Pingu. What's with the face? Is that a mad penguin I am seeing?"
