After their ride on the ferris wheel, they enjoyed the other carnival games. Richard and Dawn played a game where they won and get a prize, which is a big stuffed toy, a penguin.

"Oh diba sabi ko sayo Rachel mag eenjoy ka. Oh where do you want to play pa?" Richard asked her.

"I want to ride the carousel po." Rachel answered.

They went to the Carousel and take a ride. Richard helped Dawn to get into her horse, then put Rachel on the middle horse between Dawn and him.

"Richard baka malaglag si Rachel ha." Dawn said as she reached for Rachel to support her.

"Hawak ko siya, no worries." He said while putting his hands on back of Rachel for support.

Their whole ride was filled with laughter and enjoyment.

When they're about to head out from the carousel, it started to rain.

"Wait dito muna tayo para hindi tayo mabasa. Dun tayo sa pinakaloob." Richard said.

They waited for the rain to stop but it get strong. Richard decided to went back to the restaurant, so they won't get a lot wet. Because the Carousel was an open area and there's no walls. Unlike the resto it has walls, doors and windows.

"Dawn buhatin mo si Rachel. Ako na bahala sa mga gamit. Ito yung polo na binili ko kanina italukbong mo para hindi mabasa ang ulo niyo. Sumilong kayo dito sa stuffed toy na hahawakan ko. Lipat tayo doon sa resto, nababasa tayo dito." He said and did what he told them.

They run as fast as they can. Richard did his best to not let Dawn and Rachel got wet, even if he's the one who got really wet.

When they arrive at the restaurant, Richard talked to the staffs and asked if they have clean towels. Luckily the manager was kind and lend them towels.

"Rachel dito ka kay tito, pupunasan kita. Baka mag kalagnat ka." He said and started wiping her.

Dawn wiped herself also, when she's done, she wiped Richard because he's not done wiping Rachel. 

"Ikaw din punasan ko na, basang basa ka." Dawn said.

"Salamat. Dawn dito muna kayo ni Rachel, kunin ko yung sasakyan sunduin ko kayo dito." Richard said.

"Wag na muna, susugod ka na naman sa ulan. Baka ikaw ang magkasakit nyan."

"Hindi, ayos lang ako. Para nga makauwi na tayo. Baka mababad kayo masyado sa basa ng ulan. Kayo pa ang magkasakit. Sige na, dito muna kayo."

Richard borrowed the towel and put it on his head as he went outside. It's still raining but Richard started to ran and get his car.

At home...

"Thank you sa pag hatid Richard." Dawn said as they entered the house.

"Walang problema basta kayo. Iwan ko na dito yung mga gamit ha. Uwi na ako, mag pahinga na kayo." He answered.

"Salamat, oh Rachel mag goodbye ka na kay tito."

Rachel hugged her tito and both exchanged goodbyes.

"Good Night! Mag pahinga kayo ha, punta ulit ako dito bukas."

"Okay Rich, mag text ka muna. Mag ingat sa pag mamaneho umuulan."

"Salamat Dawn, una na 'ko."

As soon as Rachel fell asleep, Dawn went straight to her room. She charged her phone since it was lowbat. When it opened she saw a lot of text messages and missed calls from Rowel, and immediately called him back. It took a while before he answered.

"Dawn, thank you at sumagot ka na din sakin. Sobrang nag aalala ako sayo. You're not answering my text and my calls. Anong nangyari sayo? Okay ka lang ba?" Rowell continuously asked her.

"Hey I'm sorry. Nakalimutan ko mag charge kanina kaya na lowbat yung phone ko. Umalis din kami kanina ni Rachel, eh nakalimutan ko din dalhin yung powerbank ko. I'm sorry talaga Rowell."

"Okay lang as long as you're safe, akala ko nga nagalit ka na sakin. Kasi kanina tumawag ka hindi ko nasagot."

"No it's fine. Alam ko namang busy ka sa trabaho. Kakamustahin lang naman kita."

"Hays, miss na miss na kita."

"Punta ka na dito please, I miss you too."

"Ah ano kasi eh..."

"Ano busy ka pa?" She said using her cute voice.

"Hala nag paawa ka naman mahal. Pasensya na talaga Dawn, pero may kailangan akong puntahan na meeting. Sakto nga yung tawag mo eh, kasi 20 mins na lang lilipad na yung eroplano."

"Ha? Aalis ka? Saan ka pupunta? Nasa schedule mo ba yan? Ipapacheck ko kay Jenna yan."

"Wala to sa schedule, may eme-meet lang akong importante."

"Ah mas importante pa sakin, buti pa siya isang sabi lang pupuntahan mo na agad."

"Hala nag selos naman agad tong mahal ko. Basta saglit lang naman yun tapos kapag wala na akong aasikasuhin pupuntahan na kita."

"Wag na, doon kana lang sa importanteng eme-meet mo."

"Uy nag seselos ka."

"Syempre may karapatan akong mag selos noh."

"Wag ka na pong mag selos, ikaw lang naman ang mahal ko eh."

"Hay nako umayos ka Mr. Santiago, napakalaki ng tiwala ko sayo. Kapag yang pupuntahan mo babae mo lang, humanda kayong dalawa sakin."

"Ms. Zulueta, wala naman akong ibang babae. Ikaw lang ang mahal ko, kaya wala ka ng dapat ipag alala."

"Hmmm."

"Huwag na pong mag selos, I love you Dawn."

"Sige na, mag ingat ka sa flight mo. I love you too."

Dawn ended the phone call and released a sigh. "Saan naman kaya pupunta yun?" She asked herself, then she thought she have nothing to worry because she trusted him and she know Rowell wouldn't break it.

She was about to close her eyes when her phone received a text message. It showed an unknown number, but when she opened it, she realized that it was from Richard based on the past conversations they had. "Hindi ko pa pala na sa-save number niya."

From: 09*******27

Nakauwi na 'ko, goodnight sa inyo ni Rachel. I hope you both enjoy this day. Ako kasi sobra akong nag enjoy kasama kayo. See you tomorrow friend! Have a good night sleep.

She didn't manage to answer and went straight to sleep with a smile on her face.
