Best friends

Chapter 4

--

"C'mon Ameerah."

"No. You can ride that goddamn horse and I'll wait for you." Paatras kong sabi. I really don't want to ride a horse, ayokong mahulog.

  "Hindi ka naman mahuhulog eh. Let's ride 1 horse, hmm?" He assures that I shouldn't get scared.

"Paano kapag nahulog ako? Mapapatay talaga kita."

"Whatever you say, c'mon. Hahawakan naman kita eh."

I take a deep breathe and look at the big horse infront of us, we're here at minesview and today is oir 2nd day here in baguio.

  "Hawak lang po kayo mabuti sa lubid ma'am." Sabi nung may'ari ng kabayo kaya tumango.

Nikolai helped me get into the back of the horse then he climbed up.

"I feel sorry for all the horses." Sambit ko.

"Why?"

   "Ang bibigat ng mga tao tapos sinasakayan pa. May paa naman kase tayo, bakit di pa maglakad." Napairap nalang ako sa hangin and he chuckle.

"Hold on tight." He told me as he hold my hand and grip it on the rope.

Napasigaw pa ako nung nagsimula ng maglakad ang kabayo at biglang tumakbo.

"Oh my ghad Nikolai!! Make him stop." I screamed but he just laugh at me. Oh God, this guy is being a jackass right now.

"Just relax, okay? I'll make him stop." Sabi nito kaya tumango ako. Bumagal ang pagtakbo ng kabayo hanggang sa naglalakad nalang ito.

After the given minutes, we gave back the horse to the owner and he even took a photo of us while we're still sitting at the back of the horse.

Naglakad lakad lang kami at bumibili din ng mga nakikita naming maganda. Souvenirs ba.

We took some photos while strolling around, the mountains, the statues and many more.

"Hi." A guy holding a DSLR camera approached us.

"Hey." Nikolai greeted. Angas talaga ng kupal na to.

  "I am Chris Buentura and I am a photographer. If it is okay, can I take a photo of the two of you?" He asked politely so I look at Nikolai.

"Here's my samples." Pinakita nito sa amin ang hawak niyang album.

"Wow, you're great." I commented.

"Thank you."

"By the way, I am Rania and this is my bestfriend Nikolai at sige, picturan mo kami. Pero ipasa mo sa amin ah." Sabi ko kaya natawa siya at agad na sumang ayon naman.

  "C'mon Nik."

We stand side by side and do some pose, the guy told us the pose we should do as he take a picture.

"Now, Nikolai face at the back and Rania face infront then put your elbow on his shoulder with your pointing finger on your lips. Nikolai bow you head a little." We did what he said and people starts gathering around.

"Great. This is amazing. Now, face each other and look at each others eyes." Natawa pa ako dahil ang seryoso ni Nikolai pero natawa din naman siya.

We look at each other at para akong naiilang. The way he look at me, it feels like there's something inside of it.

  "Very nice. You look like you're both really in love with each other." Sabi ni Chris kaya nailang at natawa ako.
