When Reality Strikes ( Completed )

Chapter 43

"Really, Alloy? Enchanted Kingdom?" natatawang tanong ko. Nakasimangot sakin si Alloy habang tinatawanan ko siya.

Nakangisi kong nilibot ang tingin sa paligid, kasalukuyan kaming nasa labas ng Enchanted Kingdom. Pasado ala una na ng tanghali at sobra ang init.

"Sabi mo bored ka kaya ito..." his forehead furrowed so I laughed at him even more. Omy Alloy... You look like an innocent boy.

He glared at me kaya napatakip na lang ako ng bibig habang pinipigil ang pagtawa.

"I-it's just that, seriously why here, Alloy? Were now, teenagers. We are not kids anymore to play here. Teenagers nowadays go dating to alleviate their boredom or shopping. Sometimes they have fun partying, clubbing, or bar hopping in the middle of the night, got drunk, enjoy dancing as long as they want and you? You bring me here in an amusement park?" I said laughing with disbelief.

I just cannot believe this. Yeah, I used to do that when I'm bored. And this place is new to a pretty girl like me. Because I know that this place is just for family bonding, a place for children's field trip and a place for kids to have fun.

Natigil ako sa pagtawa nang makitang seryoso na ang mukha ni Alloy habang nakatingin sakin. I averted my eyes and pouted.

Admit it Jiezel, ang arte at demanding mo. Ikaw na nga ang tinutulungang tumakas at sinasamahan, ikaw pa may ganang pagtawanan siya.

"B-but for some reason, this place is pretty good too, to have fun and alleviate your boredom so thank you for bringing me here Alloy and sorry." bawi ko at nagpeace sign.

Bumuntong hininga siya at lumapit ng bahagya sakin. "Bumabawi ka pero mukha kang napipilitan. Pero prinsesa, ang lugar na toh ay hindi lang para sa mga bata. Tingnan mo sila, " tinuro niya ang isang babae at lalaking nagpapapicture. I noticed their have a pair shirts---no, couple shirts.

"Their couple." mahinang bulong ko.

"And their dating here, senyorita." He looked at me and smiled. "Ang lugar na toh ay hindi lang ginawa para sa mga bata. May pamilyang nagbabonding, may magcouple na nagdedate, magkakaibigang nagbabonding, magkakatrabahong gumagala, magkaklase at matatandang gustong magsaya at lumayo sa problema. Maraming matatanda na gustong bumalik sa pagiging bata na walang iniindang problema at responsibilidad. Naiintindihan mo ba ang pinupunto ko, senyorita? Ang lugar na toh ay para sa lahat ng taong gustong maging masaya, maenjoy ang buhay at higit sa lahat, isa ang lugar na toh para kahit sa maikling panahon, matakasan mo ang problema at bigat sa loob mo."

I looked around again and Alloy's right. Walang kaso kung pupunta dito ang teenagers, ako lang talaga tong choosy at napakaarte.

"This place built for all people to have fun and at least in a short period of time, they can forget the problems and their responsibilities. And in this place, I can experience being free and have fun with my life just like ordinary people. I understand why'd you bring me here, Alloy. I just live once so let me try to have fun here in the Philippines Amusement Park." Together with you.

"So, tara?" He grinned. I clung to his arm and fixed my cap before looking up at him.

"Let's go and I should enjoy this, Alloy. Lagot ka sakin kapag hindi ako satisfy." Umirap ako at hinila na siya papasok habang nakakapit pa rin ako sa braso niya. I can't help but to secretly smile.

"WAAAAA!!!" sigaw ko habang nakataas ang dalawang kamay. We're currently riding the space shuttle now and we've been two hours here in the Enchanted Kingdom.
