We went to Amazon Hoop first. Ang yabang pa nga ng dalawa dahil parang basketball lang din raw iyon but they end up winning nothing. Parehas pa silang napapataasan parehas din namang itlog e. We moved next to short range na parehas lang din naman sa Amazon Hoop. Doom made a few good shot. Napatili kaming pareho ni Kristine everytime na nakakashoot ito pero hindi yata iyon nagustuhan ni Hanzo dahil sumimangot ang mukha nito pagkatapos. Even more when Doom gave me the whale plushie he won from the game.
“Thanks!” I smiled at Doom. He patted my head na ikinanguso ko.
My eyes when past behind him then I saw Hanzo looking straight at me. I tried smiling at him pero pumanhik agad ito para umalis.
Napikon na naman siguro iyon.
Susundan ko sana siya ng tingin nang piningot ni Doom ang aking ilong.
“You’re looking too far when I am just right in front of you.”
Natutop ang aking bibig sa kanyang sinabi. It sounded almost fleeting but I can definitely hear it playing over and over inside my mind.
I can hear myself screaming inside. What is going on?
“To Earth, Ash?” Natauhan ako nang iwagayway ni Kristine ang kanyang kamay sa aking mukha. “Natatalo na ‘yung loverboy mo oh. I’m cheering up on Hanzo and everyone else on the back.” Itinuro nito ang kanyang daliri sa likuran namin only to see a crowd of people.
Tumuloy na kasi kami sa next booth. Hindi pa raw kasi tapos ang laban sabi ni Hanzo kaya tumuloy sila dito sa Jungle Ladder. Ang nagagawa nga naman ng EK sa mga lalaki.
I saw both of them on a wiggly ladder. They are both struggling to balance themselves. Both of them are on the same pace. Medyo pawis na rin silang dalawa. The crowd went wild when Hanzo turned to see us-- them. Nakikisabay ring tumili ‘yung mga babae sa likod namin habang may sinasabi tungkol sa dalawa.
“Ang gwapo nung guy na may dimple no?”
“Ang cool ni guy in black. ‘Yung daddy type.”Sabay-sabay pa silang tumawa habang umiling-iling lang ako. I was holding back my laugh dahil para silang mga batang desperadong manalo. I don’t know why the are so worked up about this game.
“Fighting!”
Nakisigaw na rin lang ako dahil ano pa ba ang rason kung bakit kami pumunta rito. We wanted to enjoy and have fun. Susulitin ko na.
I saw the both of them turn to look who shouted and when they saw me jumping, fist high up na para bang katipunera, they both smirked at each other. Mga baliw talaga. The crowd applauded them since they both able to reach the end of the ladder without being thrown off.
Of course, I secretly filmed them and took photos. Halos mangiyak-ngiyak ako sa tawa because their butts were on our faces.
“Ang competitive!” I both praised them. Ngumiti ang ang dalawa habang si Kristine naman ay dali-daling lumapit kay Hanzo para magpunas ng pawis.
