I opened my eyes slowly, first, it was a blur because of my tears but then Zac wiped it for me to saw the beautiful sunset. I was glad I opened my eyes because I was able to see this view, in my whole life this was the best sunset I've ever seen. I hugged Zac so tight I knew it he was shocked because of what I did but that is the only way I could say my thank you to him.

"Sorry and thank you Zac, because of you I faced my fears and I saw this," I said while sobbing but instead of responding he opened his camera.

"Stand right there, I'll take a picture of you," he said and then he started clicking the camera.

"That's enough Zac, come here let's take a selfie" he followed what I've said we took selfies until the Ferris wheel suddenly stopped.

"Sa tingin ko nagbababa na sila ng sakay" he said ad then sat beside me "did you know that the moment I saw you in your house roof, I promised to myself that I'll be bringing you here because this is the best place to watch the sunset" he added I smiled at him and then I asked for his camera.

"Give me that one and then stand there" I replied and then I captured some pictures of him.

Naging mabilis ang oras ng makababa na kami sa Ferris wheel naglakad kami papunta sa entrance to wait for Kuya and his friends. Nang mapansing wala pa sila don umupo muna kami sa bench dahil nakakangawit ang mga dala namin, halos saakin naman talaga lahat ng yon hinawakan lang ni Zac yung iba. Kinakain ko yung hotdog na binili niya kanina bago kami sumakay sa Ferris wheel kasi naman ang emotional ko kanina nang umihip ang malakas na hangin.

"Nilalamig ka ba?" he asked while eating the fries he also bought.

"A bit, malamig pala dito kapag pag gabi na hindi ko naman alam sana nag dala ako ng jacket" I replied while rubbing my palms.

"Meron akong dala, hindi naman ako nilalamig gamitin mo na" he said and offered the white hoodie, hindi ko na siya tinanggihan it's so cold. When I wore his hoodie I saw 'Zane Cadmus' print on the front of his hoodie.

"Who is Zane Cadmus?" I asked innocently.

"It's my full name Louisa Devon" he replied and smiled a bit while biting his lips when he pronounced the full name I had goosebumps.

"Oh, that's why everybody's calling you Zac now I get it," I said while nodding.

Sabi ni Kuya mas matanda nang dalwang taon saakin si Zac, but when you look at him aakalain mong 18 na siya because just like his brother base on his looks he's matured and serious when in fact he's a cheerful boy and a noisy one. His eyes were beautiful, It's perfect I would say while his nose is pointed it's like it's destined to be there for a Very good masterpiece. He's tall siguro hanggang ilong niya lang ako and his skin was tanned I don't if it's natural because Kuya Chuck and Zac have the same features, but well Zac has this effect that I will always choose because of his bubbliness. 

Now, I need to find the reason why I hated him for the past days, we were quite the whole time unless he's asking if I'm bored, well I'm not really bored actually I enjoyed this day. I was about to ask if he's cold when I saw Kuya's coming so instead of asking him, I waved at Kuya's direction and then I smiled at him.

"Ang tagal niyo naman Kuya" sabi ko habang papalapit sila.

"Ito kasing mga kasama ko bumili pa ng souvenir" he said while rolling his eyes natawa nalang ako kasi napaka bugnutin niya.

"Kamusta kayo?" Kuya Eli asked "Baka ginutom mo naman yung baby natin Zac" pahabol niya pa but then we just laugh.

"And why would I do that?" tugon naman ni Zac habang nakakunot ang noo.

"Oh, bat ka galit? Nagtatanong lang eh" Kuya Eli replied defensively.

"Tama na yan, kailangan na nating umuwi malayo layo pa ang biyahe natin" Kuya Earnest said that's why we all nodded to agree with him.

Habang naglalakad kami umakbay sakin si Kuya at nagsalita "Did you enjoy our trip Louisa?" tanong niya "Anong mga sinakyan niyo?" dagdag niya pa I'm a bit nervous kasi baka pagalitan niya ako kapag nalaman niyang sumakay kami nang Ferris wheel. 

"Kuya, sumakay kami sa Ferris wheel but I'm fine," I said and as expected he was shocked.

"Louisa! pano kapag nalaman yan nila mommy ha? ako ang mapapagalitan! hindi alam nila mommy na dito tayo pupunta" he shouted that's why I started to cry.

Inilayo siya ni Kuya Chuck and Kuya Eli saakin dahil mahahalata mong sobrang nagpipigil na lamang si Kuya. Habang si Zac naman ay dineretso na ako sa sasakyan para patahanin, ngayon lang ako sinigawan ni Kuya ng ganon kaya hindi maalis saakin ang takot. Mukhang hindi nila naiintindihan Kung bakit ako sinigawan at ganon nalang ang galit ni Kuya dahil maayos naman kami kanina. Pero hindi nila ako tinanong siguro'y naramdaman nila na ayaw kong pagusapan.

Pinigilan kong humagulol nang sobra dahil alam kong hindi ito maganda, hindi ko naman gustong maitakbo sa hospital ngayon at wala din akong dalang kahit ano maliban nalang sa extra shirt and extra short.

"Louisa baby, I'm sorry" masuyong sabi ni Kuya.

"I'm sorry din po Kuya di ko na po uulitin" i replied while sobbing.

"Hush baby, tamana nagulat lang ako, and sorry for shouting" he said while hugging me. 

While I was on Kuya's arms I fell asleep, basta nang magising ako bumababa na yung mga kaibigan ni Kuya. Kakain na ata kami nang gumalaw ako gumalaw na din si Kuya, nasa McDonald's ulit kami pero ibang place na. 

"Devi! Okay ka na?" Tanong ni Zac 

"Yup, normal naman yung away sa mag kakapatid diba?" Tanong ko sakanya.

"Of course, basta huwag lang sosobra" He replied while smiling, you know what Zac is a cute and a jolly guy he has this energy that can uplift someone's mood.

Nang makarating kami sa loob halos walang nagsasalita hanggang sa makaupo kami sa aming upuan, si Kuya Eli and Kuya jack na yung nag order kasi sila lang raw yung hindi pagod. Kahit alam ko namang we're all exhausted because of the travel, sabi din nila Kuya malapit na raw kami mga 20 minutes nalang makakarating na kami. 

It's almost 11 in the evening when we reach the gate of the village, unang hinatid si Kuya Eli and next was Kuya Jack sabi naman ni Kuya Earnest doon nalang siya bababa sa bahay dahil wala naman siyang maraming bitbit hindi gaya ni Kuya Eli and Kuya Jack. 

Nang makarating kami pinagbuksan nalang kami ni aling Nena ng gate dahil tulog na raw si mommy and daddy, kaya bumaba ako and nakisuyo nalang ako kay kuya na iakyat na yung mga pinamili ko dahil nga mag shoshower pa ako true enough andon na yung mga paper bags. I check it one by one before going to bed and when I opened the second to the last paper bag I saw a pillow, the pillow I wanted to buy a while ago and I also saw a tumultuous letter.

Louisa Devon, 

Okay first sa sasakyan ko ito sinulat kaya alam kong magiging magulo ang sulat ko and this paper is just a receipt but I don't have a choice hindi ko lam Kung piano ibibigay 'to sayo, kaya if ever na iabot ko nalang ito at maguluhan ka nanaman sakin basahin mo nalang to. Nakita ko kaninang gusto mo itong bilihin kaya lang hindi mo binili kaya ako nalang bumili naalala mo nang iwan kita sa pila sa Ferris Wheel? Medyo malayo eh kaya pawisan na akong pumunta. 

Sana na enjoy mo yung first ever amusement park mo, sana maulit yon ulit syempre ako ulit kasama mo tampo ako pag hindi (kunware tampo). Don't worry hindi na ulit kayo mag aaway ng kuya mo nexttime, at syaka ipunin mo 'tong letter ha? syempre first time ko'to HAHAHAHAHA. 

Goodnight/Goodmorning/Good afternoon Louisa Devon!! (Dipende kasi kung kelan mo babasahin).

Your pinaka poging friend
