AFTER riding the carousel and just minding my business because I got disappointed to hear the answer that I had been anticipating, we both went to Pietro and Bernardo who are waiting near the ride.

Mukang napagod ang dalawa sa kakabantay dahil parehas pa silang may hawak na ice cream.

"Are you done, Herzogin?" Bungad ni Pietro bago ako bigyan ng isa pang medyo patunaw na ice cream. "You want?"

"No, thank you. And we're done. But I want to go to the other rides. Can I?" Pagpapacute ko at tinignan lang silang magsukatan ng tingin.

Pietro is a little loose when it comes to me while Bernardo makes everything balance.

"Yes, Herzogin. You can." Sagot ni Bernardo sa natalong tono.

"Of course, she can. You can't resist the Duchess." Asar ni Pietro bago ito makatanggap ng pabirong suntok sa kapatid.

Eversince Zed and I were children, they've been with us the whole time we are growing up. They started working for the family when they were in their 20s, I think?

"So where will you go next? Kilian will accompany you and we'll guard the surroundings." Imporma ni Bernardo na ikinailing ko.

"Nope." I said, popping the P. "You will both go with me. Or else, I will hide from you after class for a week." Malaking ngiti ang ginawad ko sa kanila bago sila magkasabay na tumango.

Pietro seems happy while Bernardo seems well... Forced.

"Are you scared, Bernardo?" Kaswal na tanong ni Zed na nagpakunot sa ulo ng guwardiya kong cute.

"Should I punch you in the face to know the answer?" Pabalang na sagot naman nito. Alam ko kung anong kinakainis niya.

"Woah. Hey, old man. Chill." Pang-aasar pa na sabi ni Zed.

"We should try the frisbee one." Turo ko sa isang ride kung saan nagmumula ang malalakas na sigawan.

"There?" Parang nakakitang multo na sabi ni Zed bago tumabi kay Pietro. "Are you sure, Meine Herzogin?"

"Why not?" Mayabang kong sabi bago siya hilain papunta sa star frisbee. "It will be worth it. Promise."

"Come on, Kuya. Let's ride this one!" Asar ni Pietro bago hilain si Bernardo kagaya ng ginagawa ko kay Zed.

"Fuck you, Pietro." Asik ni Bernardo bago maging lantang-gulay na hila ni Pietro. It's their love language.

"It's fun! Promise!" Tumatawa kong sabi habang nakapila na kami para magbayad. "Let's enjoy this for now because I will graduate next month, okay?"

"Sure thing, Herzogin." Pietro showed his thumbs up and smile before turning his gaze to Bernardo. "The duchess wants to ride this. So quit being a spoiled brat, Kuya."

"Yeah. I'll endure. For the duchess." Tanging sabi ni Bernardo.

Agad akong nagbayad gamit ang card na dala ko. Pinapasok naman kami kaagad. Mukang ayaw pa nga ni Zed at Bernardo pero wala na silang nagawa dahil bukod sa bayad ko na, tatakasan ko talaga sila kapag hindi nila ako sinamahan.

"Ser, namumutla ho kayo." Napatingin ako sa kausap ni Kuyanh operator at nakitang si Zed yun.

"I can endure this." Tanging sagot nito bago pumikit.

"Ha? Ah, sige. Goodluck nalang po, Ser."

Inayos nung operator lahat ng strap ng mga upuan namin para masiguradong hindi kami malalaglag.

"Boss, may nahulog na ba rito?" Tanong ng katabi kong lalaki na ikinatawa ni Kuyang operator.

"Wala, boss. Pero para lang kayong ibabalibag." Tanging sagot ni Kuya bago kami talikuran at sumenyas ng okay sign.
