Hello, Mr.Act of Service

KABANATA XXVIII - Carnival

SAMANTHA POV:

Kasalukuyan akong nanonood ng cellphone ko habang nakadapa sa isang sahig namin. Inwas busy scrolling on tiktok when my tita Beth suddenly tell me to be ready if we want to visit the carnival.

Syempre, after all the stress and pressure, I immediately want to come. Nanay also agreed to come with them. They will use their tricycle to arrive on that place.

They also invite Troy, my little cousin, to be with us with her mother and sister. They also agreed! this will be a long and fun night!

I wore a dress and also wore a hoodie. In case of sudden cold breeze. I also bring my cellphone.

"Let's go?"Mother asked and we both nod. "You both go first, I will follow in few mins."

We followed what she instructed and leave the house first. Jan lang man kami sa labas, nahihiya kaming lumapit dahil hindi pa
naman nakaandar ang makina ng sasakyan.

Nang lumabas na rin si nanay, nagmamadali siyang maglakad papunta roon. "Tara na!"

Dali-dali naman kaming humbol sakaniya. Tiningnan ko naman ang sasakyan kung umaandar na and shocks! papunta na sa direksyon namin ng kapatid ko. Parang wala naman 'to kanina ah?

Nang nasa harapan na namin ito pumarada, agaran kaming sumakay. Habang sa hindi kalayuan, nakita ko sila Troy na papunta rin dito.

They was wearing their own jackets. I've even seen tita Angeline child, a little boy, his sister child.

Agad din naman silang sumakay habang si Tita ay nagpapaliwanag kung bakit sila na-late ng punta. Tinanguan lang naman siya ni Tita Beth.

It was not so long drive since Tito Mario is fast but careful driver, especially when he's not at work but need to use his tricycle to go somewhere.

As we step out, not so far from the entrance, there's a long line waiting for us immediately! the ticket is little pricey.

Girl, ₱20 per student then ₱25 per adult. If you need to leave the carnival, you have to pay again.

"Dati tag ₱10 saka ₱15 lang yan ah?nag-increase in demand sila"mahinang komento ni nanay.

Tita Beth and Tita Bing agreed on it.

"Mag-enjoy kayo sa loob ha?sayang bayad"Tita Beth joked, followed by a chuckle on both of the parents.

After in 2 minutes of waiting in line. It is now our turn to show our ticket and they give us a stamp on our left wrist.

We thanked them after before entering the carnival. Grabe, higpit ng security, may tao agad na sinascan kung may tattoo ba. Kala mo naman basta-basta lang pumasok eh.

Hinintay namin ang iba pang kasama namin para tuluyang makapasok. At nang kumpleto na kami. Nagpaalam ang pamilya nina Tita Beth para humiwalay ng daan dahil iba ang patutunguhan nila.

Tinanguan namin ito. Sinabi nilang magkita lang malapit sa hindi kalayuang parking lot ng mga tricycle kung mainip man kaming gumala at maghintay dito.

Pagkatapos nun, nagpatuloy na kami sa paglalakad. Napakaraming tao. Bawat sulok ng gilid ay may nagbebenta ng mga damit o laruan man.

Sinabihan pa nga ako ni nanay na sabihan lang siya kung may napupusuan ako na damit dahil bibilhin namin iyon.

Nakarating lang kami malapit sa rides, wala akong nakitang gusto ng mga mata ko. Napatingin ako sa iba't ibang rides. Ang cocolorful.

Dumapo ang timgin ko sa kapatid at cousin ko, may mga ngiti ng umorma sa kanilang labi. Exactly me when I was still a child.

Missing the feeling of excitement everytime I see a rides, when I'm young.
