Remember

CHAPTER 7

"Tara Bei, dun tayo." Thirdy pointed at a specific ride.

"Space Shuttle? Are you serious?" Bea asked in disbelief.

"Yep. Enjoy yan." Thirdy nodded.

"It's not the usual rollercoaster that you think, Thirds. Sobrang malala niyan, promise." Bea said, fear evident in her voice.

"That's the good thing." Thirdy exclaimed and handed the ticket to Bea.

"If you say so."

"Ma'am, Sir, kayo na po sunod. Umupo na po kayo dito." One of the staffs approached them.

"Tara."

"This is not a good idea." Now its Bea's turn to make the sign of the cross.

"Trust me, it is." Thirdy assured.

"Oh God." Bea panicked as soon as the ride moved.

"Just scream Bea!" Thirdy shouted and raised his hands on the air.

"Ahhhh!"

-----

"Are you okay?" Thirdy asked with concern as soon as they got out of the ride.

"Nahihilo ako." Bea said while trying to regain her balance.

"Upo muna tayo." Thirdy held Bea's waist to support her.

"I'm sorry. Pinilit pa kita." Thirdy apologized.

"Its okay, I had fun naman." Bea said and leaned her head on Thirdy's shoulder while closing her eyes.

"We're never gonna do it again." Thirdy said and stroked Bea's hair.

"Never." Bea opened her eyes. "Gutom na ako."

"Let's eat? Nahihilo ka pa ba?" Thirdy looked at the latter.

"Nope. Cotton candy!" Bea squealed and pointed the stall like a child.

"Gutom ka pero cotton candy lang kakainin mo?" Thirdy wondered.

Bea didn't reply as she was staring at a figure not far from them.

"Huy." Thirdy followed Bea's gaze, and saw a man looking at them, wearing a LaSalle tshirt, glasses, and a black cap.

"Do you know him?" Bea asked.

"Nope. Maybe its just a fan, sinusundan lang tayo." Thirdy shrugged.

"You have a point. Tara dali!" Bea pulled Thirdy's hand again.

Thirdy just let the latter pull him, not teasing about the 'holding hands while walking' thing so that Bea will not let go of his hand.

"So yummy." Bea exclaimed while eating the cotton candy nonstop.

She acts like a kid, but its cute, Thirdy thought.

After eating the cotton candy, they roamed around the place, as both of them agreed to not to join any rides anymore.

"Thirds! Ang cute oh!" Bea pointed at the unicorn stuffed toy.

"You want that?" Thirdy looked at it.

"Super! Kuya, how much is that?" Bea asked the staff.

"Sorry Ma'am, its not for sale. Kailangan mo po manalo dito sa game para makuha yan." The staff replied.

Thirdy looked at the girl beside him. He can sense the disappointment and sadness of the latter.

"Kuya, what's the mechanics?" Thirdy asked.
