"Let's not think about that right now. Nasistress ka lang, eh ang purpose nga nitong trip na toh is for you to unwind," Zoe grabbed some tissues from her purse and handed it to Kai.

"Kasi naman kayong mag-asawa, you know this was where Sasha and I went on our first trip. Syempre maalala ko yung tao," Kai sniffled.

"Eh pasensya naman na, mama Kai. Eh dito kasi yung business trip ni Zo eh," Kenny scratched her head and began to start pushing Kai's wheelchair.
"Di bale, di naman na tayo mag-a-Alcatraz na," she assured her friend.

"Oh my God, I've seen plenty of Alcatraz when we went here," Kai shook her head at the memory of getting stuck inside one of America's most famous prison.

"Oo nga, may unsolicited backstage passes pa tayo and night tour," Zoe chuckled.

"Sobra-sobra pa kamo. Parang ano ba yun—retreat or immersion? Feeling ko pina-experience satin maging preso for the night eh," Kai laughed nervously.

"But that's where you guys first got to be intimate with each other, right?" Kenny asked.

"Hoy, grabe ka. Kakakilala pa lang namin nun noh. We were never intimate inside Alcatraz. I first kissed her on the night of my bridal shower," Kai let them know which made the couple gasp out loud.

"Oh my word," Kenny held her chest. "When I said intimate I meant you got to share a moment together na not necessarily in a romantic kind of way. Nagbonding-bonding ba," she elaborated, her eyes still wide open from Kai's revelation.

"Talaga? You kissed her?" Zoe was speechless. She couldn't help but leave her mouth open.

"Shet, kinikilig ako," Kenny couldn't help but shriek.

"Me too, oh my God. You made the first move? And all this time akala ko it was Sasha who had feelings for you first," Zoe let out a long gasp.

"Baliw kayong mag-asawa. Eto kasi si Ken sabi 'intimate'. Akala ko naman na you guys thought na may ginawa kaming kababalaghan ni Sasha sa Alcatraz. I want to be comfortable when I make love. I also want my partner to be comfortable. Sa dinami-dami ng pwede naming pag-gawan ng ganun sa Alcatraz pa talaga?" Kai shook her head but she kept a smile while she looked at her friends amused.

"Ay sorry naman. Some of us find uncomfortable, weird, and eerie places a good place for sex," Kenny claimed. This earned her a pinch on her side from her wife.

Kai couldn't stop herself from laughing. "Kayo ha. Kami pa pinag-isipan nyo ng masama, kayo naman pala yung may ginagawang kababalaghan."

"Anong pinagiisipan ng masama? Who says we think you and Sasha having sex is bad? Having sex is not bad if it's not coerced, wala kayong tinatapakang ibang tao, and if it's with the one you love," Kenny argued.

"Exactly. It's bad enough that I kissed her on my bridal shower. Sex pa kaya? I was engaged and getting married the day after," Kai reminded them.

"But did it feel good?" Kenny grinned which earned her another pinch from her wife. "Aray," she whined.

Kai could still feel Sasha lips as if it just happened yesterday. "Yes."

The couple looked at her.

"Ikaw kasi," Zoe mouthed to her wife and gave her an angry look.

Kenny suddenly stopped the wheelchair which startled her passenger.

"Huy," Kai and Zoe said at the same time. They each felt their hearts jump out of their bodies. Kai held on for dear life.

"Sorry," Kenny apologized. "I just had to do that para I can snap you out of the funk na you were starting to enter," she told their friend.

"Baliw, anong funk ka dyan?" Kai asked while she positioned herself more comfortably on her wheelchair.
