Hear the mind's need

Chapter 8

"There,"

He shook his head when I pointed the swaying giant ship, "You'll vomit, you drank a heavy one."

Well, he has a point.

I saw a mango graham shake kasi, I can't help but to buy. I never really had the chance to make my own or buy one back at our place. Naging busy ako, and wala ring near store for it.

Of course, I bought him too. He may suka too if ever I push that idea. Dapat pala we didn't eat na lang, sana hindi ko naisip na mag-buy ng shake.

"What are we going to try then?" nanghihinayang na saad ko.

Sabi ko pa naman, we'll make most of our time here. We can go back but today is different from any other day that will approach in the future 'di ba?

Napamulsa siya, "The games. You don't want try it?" aniya, his eyes are on the right side where the way to the games are.

Napalaki ang mata ko, right! We should try those instead first, less chances to get dizzy means no need to worry for any stomach problems.

I gave him a sweet smile, itinaas ko ang kamay ko at nagthumbs-up. "Good idea!"

Dumeretso kami sa kanan kung saan nakapwesto ang mga laro, how do you call it nga ba? I don't have idea, the important thing is I'll play and I won't stop until I get at least a prize!

I saw a basketball booth, doon ko siya inaya 'cause he's so tall! He has a higher chance to win. I won't try it. I know nothing in basketball tsaka the basketball ring is too far for me. I bet, if I make hagis the ball wouldn't even touch its net.

Well, I'm not sporty! But I do have a physical lifestyle syempre-I exercise and jog with my family whenever we have time.

Iginala ko ang paningin ko sa mga teddy bears na naka-display. I want the pink bear if ever.

"Do you play basketball?" I asked lifting my eyes to him.

He licked his lips and glance at the couple at the front currently playing the game. Bumalik ang mata niya akin, he nodded.

"I did, back in highschool and college."

"Oh, is it laos na?"

His brows furrowed.

I tilted my head, gazing carefully at his face.

"Your skills?" I inquired innocently.

His tongue swirled inside his cheek, napunta sa gilid ang direkson ng ulo niya. Nagkibit-balikat siya.

"Let's see," ngisi niya.

I pouted a bit, "Okay."

Nang matapos ang laro nang nasa unahan ay agad kaming sumunod. The rule is basic, you should have 3 consecutive shoots. Iniabot nang lalaki ang bola kay Chase, the more I observe about the distance and his height... I feel like he shouldn't play it pala. I think the booth will be lugi.

"Atras ho kaunti sir," ani ng lalaki saka itinuro ang linya kung saan dapat siya pupwesto.

Chase obliged. I watch him dribble the ball once, he glance at me and I quickly smiled. Iniayos niya ang pwesto niya at saka nag-ambang magshoot.

I followed the ball when he throw it.

Shoot.

Napapalakpak ako.

For three consecutive throws, he shoot it all.

Mabilis akong lumapit kay Chase and give him a thumbs up that made him chuckle, we walk closer to the booth. Hindi na pinansin ang iba na naki-nood.Napakamot ang lalaki sa batok, at kumuha nang panungkit.
