A Bucket Of Your Heart

Chapter 7

»»7««

"Bye!"

I waved my hand at my dad.

"Bye baby!"

He formed a big heart and then got in his car. I watched as his car disappeared from my view.

Clyde promised me that he'll help fulfill my bucket list. Now I'm eagerly waiting for him by the windows, fully dressed up. He didn't really say what part of my list we're going to do.

I couldn't help but smile widely when he arrived. No. He didn't climb to the windows. I just met him outside. 

My parents don't know anything about me going outside. I don't want to be a rebel but I really want to do my bucket list and if I did ask for their permission, they wouldn't let me.

"Magandang umaga para sa isang magandang binibini," he greeted. 

I feel giddy.

"Tara na!" 

"Hindi naman halata na excited ka noh?" he giggled.

I just shrugged and followed him until we reached the road outside.

"Hindi ba tayo sasakay?" I asked since it felt like he didn't have any plans on waiting for any mode of transportation.

"Hindi na. Malapit lang naman pupuntahan natin."

"Saan nga ba tayo pupunta?"

"Amusement Park," he said and waited for me to walk beside him.

"May amusement park ba dito? Parang wala naman. At saka napapagod nako," I grumbled.

"Meron nga. Malapit na tayo," he reassured me and held my hands.

"Parang sirado pa naman sila. Ba't ba kasi tayo pumasok," I complained. 

We're walking in an empty amusement park. I can't see anyone. Amusement parks are supposed to be full of people and noisy but it's exactly the opposite here. What if we would be accused of trespassing or...

I pulled my hands away from his grasp.

"B-baka may masama kang binabalak ha. May dala pa rin akong pepper spray at saka taser!" 

"Wala ka bang tiwala sakin?" he eyed me from head to toe, "Sa gwapo kong ito?" 

I scoffed which later turned into a laugh. This guy is so conceited.

A sound coming from a distance distracted us. There was an old man walking towards us. Clyde goes to him and did the bless.

"Cloe, ito pala si tatang  Marcelo. Ang may-ari ng amusement park," Clyde informed.

I walked towards them and also did the blessing.

"Kaawaan ka ng Diyos," tatang Marcelo said to me.

"Pwede na kayong maglibot. Alam naman nitong si Clyde ang pasikot-sikot dahil nagtatrabaho siya dito," he explained gently.

So Clyde works here? Seems like a decent job but I wish he continued going to school.

"Uhm...Magkano po yung bayad?" I simply asked.

"Naku. Wala nang bayad ineng. Sinabi sa 'kin ni Clyde na first time mo raw makapunta sa ganito."

"Opo..."

Well, in short he'll let us borrow this amusement park?

"Kung ganoon, edi ano pang ginagawa niyo dito? Maglibot-libot na kayo. Mga kabataan talaga," he then dismissed us.
