Chapter 32

Just The Three of Us

Clarrise's POV

Nagising ang diwa ko nang marinig kong may kumakatok sa pintuan ng kuwarto ko.

Bumangon ako sa kama. Nag-inat ako bago tumungo sa pinto. Binuksan ko iyon at bumungad sa'kin ang bulto ni kuya Jerome.

"Ooh, Hi kuya" bati ko. "May kailangan ka?"

Umiling siya. "Masakit pa ba ang ulo mo?" tanong niya.

Umiling ako. "Anong oras na?" Natatamad akong kunin ang cellphone ko. Tiningnan ni kuya Jerome ang kaniyang relo.

"It's 11:36 in the morning." Aniya.

"Great! Halika na Clarrise, kumain na tayo ng pananghalian." Kuya Jerome accompanied me to the kitchen. I saw kuya Andrei cooking.

"Hi! Clarrise!" Kuya Andrei greeted me while his senses are focused on cooking.

"Mmm. Hi! Kuya!" I replied.

Nakita kong bukas ang pinto ng kuwarto nila Mama. Mukhang tapos na ang giyera nila.

"Kuya Jerome?"

"Mmm?"

"Nasaan sina Papa?"

"Lumabas silang dalawa. Meron daw kuno nila date." saad ni kuya Jerome.

The timing was very perfect. Kuya Andrei just finished cooking our lunch. He put the dish on a plate while kuya Jerome and I prepared the utensils and stuff.

Habang kumakain kaming tatlo, naisipan ni kuya Andrei na pumunta kami sa Fantastic Fairgrounds. Kung sila Mama at Papa may bonding...Syempre, kaming magkakapatid, meron rin.

It's been a while since i spent some quality time with my two brothers. Pagkatapos namin kumain, hinugasan ni kuya Jerome ang aming pinagkainan.

Tumungo ako sa taas at pumasok sa kuwarto ko. Tumungo ako sa aparador at naghanap ng pwede kong suotin.

_._~•~•~•_._

Nakita ko si kuya Andrei at kuya Jerome na nakaupo sa sala. Naks! Iba rin ang mga kuya ko, marunong rin pumili ng damit.

Kuya Jerome is wearing a large white graphic t-shirt paired with a blue ripped denim shorts and a pair of white sneakers while kuya Andrei wore a slim fit red t-shirt paired with black cargo shorts and a pair of white Skechers.

"Naks! Iba rin pumorma ang aking mga kuya." Marahan silang natawa sa komentaryo ko sa kanilang kasuotan.

"You also look good with your outfit, Clarrise." Kuya Jerome complimented.

"Y-You look like a hipster, lil sister." Kuya Andrei said and playfully winked at me.

I chuckled. "Hehehe, T-Thank you for the compliments, Mga kyah." I'm very flattered because they gave positive comments about my outfit. Duh, i look like an angsty gangster.

I'm wearing a skinny ripped black jeans paired with a medium graphic t-shirt covered with a red checkered long-sleeve. I almost forgot that i applied eyeliner and liptint. Now i look like crap.

Kuya Jerome wrote a note to Mama and Pap, kung sakaling bumalik sina Mama na wala pa kami.

Kuya Andrei locked the door and opened the garage. We all decided to use the motor instead of the car. Minsan na nga lang ako sumasakay eh.

Ini-start ni kuya Andrei ang engine ng motor. Nauna ako sa pagsakay tapos sumunod naman si kuya Jerome.

Hindi nagtagal, pinaandar ni kuya Jerome ang motor at tinahak namin ang daan papunta sa Fantastic Fairgrounds.

_._~•~•~•_._

Kapagkuwan ay bumaba na kami sa motor ni kuya. Naghanap muna kami ng bakanteng espasyo para iparada ang kaniyang motor.

Nang makahanap kami ng espasyo, sabay-sabay kaming pumunta sa ticket booth ng perya.

15.00 ang entrance fee ng adult. Samakatuwid, 45.00 ang binayad ni kuya Jerome.

Nang makapasok kami sa perya, hindi ko maiwasan na libutin ng aking paningin ang buong lugar.

Turning in different directions, you find yourself enchanted by dazzling lights that adds color in every stall you see. Children dragging their parents to each stall and ride they saw with determination.

People roaming around and taking many pictures in any angle. Young and adults roaming around the fairgrounds with an excited expression painted in their face, still unsure of which ride should he/she try first.

The intense smell of different grilled meat and barbecue in the air. Children eating hot nacho and fries that makes their faces numb. Nothing can beat the grossing stalls that sells assorted shakes and paired with salty popcorn.
Never underestimate the flavor of doughnuts that makes your mouth water and stomach rumble like there's no tomorrow.

Different music from the vast  fairgrounds that made a very unusual yet  not perfect for your kind of genre that you are fond of. However, it still maintains the ambiance in the fairground. I wonder why people like a strange beat?

Loud screams that can be heard high that you can almost touch the white clouds, so high that you want to try that kind of thrilling ride.

Everyone seems to be very happy spending time in the fairgrounds. Laughter, giggling and mixed expressions plastered in their faces. No wonder kuya Andrei suggested to visit this place. This day is going to be awesome and memorable for the three of us.
