Hold Me While You Wait

14 Night in Rome 2

Were walking until we reach the fountain in front of the Phanteon. It's breathtaking, I mean every part of Rome is breathtaking. I just can't believe a 1,894 years old structure like this is still standing and preserves its beauty.

Binuksan ko ang bag ko para makakuha ng barya nang narealize ko na wala ang wallet ko doon at naiwan ko ito sa hotel. Lumingon ako sa gilid ko at tinignan si Timothy, "Can I have a one coin. I forgot my wallet in the hotel," tinitigan nya ako "Are you telling me that you going to wish in this fountain?"

"Yes"

"And you think that your wish will come true? You're just wasting your money."

"First, it's not my money, it's yours. Second, we never know, maybe it will come true." I said and smiled. "Timothy just gives me a coin. I will pay it and also all the money you spend for me," I added.

Dinukot nya sa pants nya ang wallet at binuksan ito at syaka binigyan ako ng buong pera. I look at him confused. "I don't have coins," he said.

"Really?" lumingon lingon ako kung may mabibilan ako at mapalit ang buo nyang pera. Nakakita ako ng souvenir shop. "Just wait in there. I will exchange your money to coins," I said to Timothy at naglakad ng mabilis.

Bumili ako ng dalawang keychain na ang design ay ang flag ng Rome at may nakasulat na I love Rome. Nang nakapagbayad na ako at nabarya ang pera ni Timothy ay bumalik na ako sa pwesto kung saan nakatayo si Timothy habang nakatingin sa akin.

"Here," I said as I give the other keychain to him and his spare money. "It's a souvenir for both of us," I answered to his questioning face at itinaas ang isang keychain na hawak ko. "We're the same," I said as I smile.

"Don't worry as I said I will pay the money that you spend on this trip."

"You don't have to do that. It's on me,"

I'm about to disagree with what he said, but he interrupts me. "Just wish Alex, the time is running the museum is going to close at 7 pm." Tumango nalang ako sa kanya.

I look at the coin na hawak ko. I wish Timothy stay and come with me in Tuscany. And then I throw it. Alam kong naghahangad ako ng higit pa. Dahil ang plano ay sasamahan lang nya ako sa wedding and that's it. Pero sa ilang araw lang namin dito ay ang dami nang nangyari at habang lalo kaming tumatagal ay mas naghahangad pa ako atensyon at oras nya. Kahit hindi ko man makuha ang gusto ko sa kanya. At least he's with me.

"Let's go," I said and walk until we go inside the Phantheon. My eyes filled with amazement. The inside of it is so very spacious and simple, yet elegant style, classical architecture. The structure of it is a cylinder type with marble floor, which features a design consisting of a series of geometric patterns, giant dome, with its hole in the top.

We walk quietly admiring every part of it. When I'm in the middle of the place I look up to the hole in the ceiling and I can't help to say 'wow'. I look at Timothy which is 5 feet in front of me, smiling.
