Pain In Disguise

Kabanata 3

"Anong rides ang gusto niyong unang puntahan natin?" tanong ni Daddy habang tumitingin kaming tatlo sa paligid. Ang ganda dito, parang pinalaking Enchanted Kingdom.

"Sa roller coaster Daddy!" tinuro ko ang nakakaenganyong roller coaster na kung saan nakakaakit ang sigaw ng mga sakay nun.

"Waaaa~ 'Di ko kayang sumakay doon. Just look at those people riding there, sumisigaw sila" ang OA talaga 'tong si Samantha, matatakutin masyado.

"Oo nga, what if my mouth will get ripped off because of too much screaming" Oh ayan na ang Samantha at Sunshine tandem, parehas na matatakutin at palaging magkasundo because they are too girly.

"Di ka ba natatakot sumakay doon anak?" Tumingin ako kay mommy

"Mommy, I'm already big and I'm strong like Daddy" sagot ko habang nagpapacute, the infamous puppy eyes of Zarah

"Anak, you're too young for those. We will try that one when you, my princesses, are already eighteen okay?"

"Daddy, that's like-" binilang ko kung ilang taon pa bago ako makakasakay doon but I failed. "many many years pa"

"It's for your safety princess, now let's go to that one" itinuro niya ang caterpillar like ride.

"Yehey!"

Halos lahat ng rides, nasakyan na namin except the roller coaster T.T We even tasted different kind of foods. At syempre if there's one thing me and my twins we have in common, that is we eat like monsters. You can't blame an eight-year old kid, blame the food.

"I almost forgot. Did you guys enjoy?"

"Of course Daddy!" we recited in unison with smiles plastered in our faces. This is the best day in my life: just me, Sunshine, Samantha, Mommy and Daddy. I don't care about gifts and stuffs, this is just what I wanted ever since, a complete happy family :)

"This trip wouldn't be complete without evidence" We know what's that evidence mean.

"PICTURE!" Yes, everytime we go somewhere or do something, Daddy would always take a picture. My twins and I have our own album to fill in. (Daddy gave those when we were three) He said, we keep those pictures means we keep the memories.

"But Daddy, we forgot our polaroids" Sunshine frowned.

"It's okay honey, there's a photobooth there" we all turned our heads where daddy pointed his finger.

'Questioning look' that's what my two sisters have in their faces.

"Haven't you encountered that word guys?" they shook their heads.

"That's what you get from focusing too much in your faces instead of reading. It's where you can take pictures from the word photo" I rolled my eyes. These beauty queens need a lesson here.

"Let's go?" we all nodded.

We're on our way back to the car. I feel sleepy. My eyes are slowly shutting down when I felt my body moved. I opened my eyes and I saw our daddy carrying us; Sunshine at the left arm, Samantha at the right one and I'm at the back piggy ridin'while mom is holding daddy's hand. I smiled, he always knew I hate being carried in the arms, I prefer at the back.

This is where my comfort zone is, in my daddy's side with my twins and Mommy. This is what safety is, this is home.
