They are now at the theme park. Ok, he is crazy. He wants her to ride the roller coaster! She could die from heart attack if she rides that. She had rode that before and that was scary. She promised not to ride roller coaster ever again. That was the first and the last!

"Let's ride roller coaster!", Christian says cheerfully.

"I can't ride that. Let's go with something else.", Stacey replies with afraid look on her face.

"Oh, come on! This one is the most fun game here. Please ride it with me.", he says, convincing her to ride that thing.

"You can ride it yourself! I can't ride that thing!"

"There's no fun to ride it alone. Please! I'm begging you..", he says making face. He looks pity then she agrees to ride that thing with him.

She doesn't know why she can't say 'no' to this guy. Today, the promise of never ride a rollercoaster will break. They are now waiting for their turn to ride it. She will ride it for the second time.

When it's time for that thing to move, Stacey already held his hand tightly as she don't want to let it go. When the 'train' races through the 'railway', she closes her eyes. She doesn't scream like the others did. Suddenly, she becomes weak and almost falls but luckily Christian grabs her in time. Then, he hugs her. He's afraid, not because of the roller coaster but because of Stacey. She might fall if he didn't hold her. Ugh, when will this roller coaster stop?! The thing is still moving and Christian wants it to stop right now!

A few minutes later, the roller coaster stop moving. He gets help from the people there to get her out of the 'train'. Christian is the one who lifts her to his car. Lots of people are eyeing him. They might think he is kidnapping her or whatever. Maybe even worse like, murdering her? He should've listened to her. Now look what has he done?! What if she had heart disease or something? All the blame will be on him.

He puts her on the front seat of the car, beside the driver's seat and then he gets in the car, sitting at the front seat beside Stacey. He places his hand on her cheek and pats it softly.

"Hey..", he still patting her cheek but there is no response from her making him to worry. Then he takes a bottle of water and wets his hand and sprinkles the water from his wet hand to her face. This time, she responds and slowly opens her eyes.

"Oh! Thank God!", Christian says thankfully.

"What happened?", asks Stacey as she rubbing her eyes.

"You've passed out while you're on the roller coaster. Thankfully you didn't fall from it.", he replies.

"I told you that I don't want to ride it."

"Sorry.", he says, regretting for not listening her. Wait, but she said 'OK'.

"Let's go.", he continues as he starts the car engine.

"To where now?", Stacey questioning as she frowns.

"I don't know. Where you want to go?", he questions back. This time, the car is already moving through the highway.

"I don't know.", she shrugs.

"Come on, just tell me where you want to go. I'll take you wherever you want to go. You want to go to shopping or wherever? Let me be you shopping bags carrier.", he smiles, showing his teeth. Actually he can't stand to stay at home all the time. Plus, he has nothing to do. It's boring!

"Shopping? No way. There's nothing I want to buy. Besides, I don't have much money for shopping.", she replies. She only shops when she has something important to buy. She doesn't really like to go shopping. What? It's tiring even just one shopping mall she goes for shopping.

"I will pay all the things you buy.", he says.

"Hey, how could you say that easily? Can you think of someone out there who really need money? It's better if you donate it to someone who in need than you wasting it.", she replies, lecturing him.

"Okay.", he responds. Wow! This girl. He thinks all girls like to go shopping but this one... she's different from the other.

"It's also good if you treat me lunch, though.", she says grinning.

"Ok. I'll treat you. Which restaurant?", he asks, chuckling.

"MCD's."

"Ok.", huh? Out of all restaurants, she chose MCD's? This girl is really something.

**

"Ok, where do you wanna go now?", Christian asks right after they get in the car.

"Let's go to the beach!"

"Ok.", he says, driving the car. He keeps saying 'OK'. Stacey who is sitting beside him, staring at him. This guy is so nice.

"Christian, thanks for the lunch.", she utters.

"My pleasure. I'll be your driver today.", he responds as he chuckles.

"You like to be a driver, huh?", says her as she viewing the scenery outside the car.

"Your driver only.", he replies. She turns to him and chuckles.

Minutes later, they're already at the beach. They sit at the bench prepared under the shady trees and enjoy the breeze. Stacey closes her eyes that are behind her glasses and take a deep breath. It's refreshing. Then she opens her eyes and viewing the sea. She missed her family, her friends and her home that is too far across the sea. Suddenly, she sobs.

"Hey, are you okay?", he asks in concern. She nods.

"Then, why are you crying?"

"I just.. I miss my family.", she replies and wipes her tears.

"Me too.", he says. Staring at the sea and his expression turns sad.

"I'm sorry..", she continues, feeling guilty.

"It's okay.", he looks at her and gives her a smile.

"Let's be strong, okay?", he continues as he pats her shoulder.

"Yeah.", she says it aloud and nods.

"Let's be strong..", she says again, this time it's her who is patting his back. He nods and smiles at her.

"Hey! There's an ice-cream uncle.", she's pointing at the ice-cream truck. It's funny when she called the ice-cream seller 'uncle'.

"Do you want some ice-cream?", he nods. Then she goes to the ice-cream truck and buys ice-creams for Christian and herself, and goes back to Christian. Thanks to him that she's having a great weekend.
