Runaway From The Labyrinth (Run Away Trilogy #1)

Chapter 08

Chapter 08

Nakarating na kami sa amusement park at agad namang nagningning ang mata ko, like it's my first time being here. Amusement parks really excites me, I don't know why. Para nakong bata kung makangiti, but I'm still a teenager wala namang masama dun.

I could also see the gigantic rides, the ferocious scream of the crowd riding those rides, the cries of a child as he beg his mother, the happy smiles of a family.

Despite the crowd, I can't feel an ounce of anxiety inside me. It's as if I'm floating with the amount of joy I felt inside my heart.

May nakita akong stall na may stuff toy na unicorn. Unicorn, my favorite! Para akong bata nagtalon-talon nang makita ito.

And with pleading eyes, I asked him.

"Could you get that unicorn stuffed toy?"

"Sure," he agreed and smiled.

Ginulo muna niya ang aking buhok bago siya nagsimulang pumwesto para matira niya yung mga lobo. In order to get a price dapat makaputok ka ng tatlong lobo with the use of five darts.

Napapalakpak ako nang kauna-unahan niyang pag asinta ay nakaputok agad siya ng lobo. He's really good with this. I cheered for him dahil gustong gusto ko talagang makuha ang stuff toy na yun. And on his fourth hit, two balloons blew up kaya napatalon ako sa tuwa.

He's a shooter! Magaling siyang umasinta!

"Here." Binigay niya ang unicorn stuff toy sa akin na agad ko namang niyakap.

"Thank you!" Nakangiti kong sabi.

"You seem enjoying," he said at tumango lang din naman ako. I am, I really am. 

"Let's go to the rides," paanyaya niya.

"Dun tayo sa roller coaster!" excited kong hiyaw sabay hila kay Khael at bumili kaagad ako ng ticket para dito.

"Yumi, I-I think ikaw nalang, maghihintay nalang ako dito," nauutal niyang sabi.

Napalingon ako sakanya and he seem nervous.

What? Siya ang nagsabi na sumakay kami sa rides. Don't tell me he is afraid of heights?

"Oh come on, where's the fun in there Khael. Lika na! Don't be such a baby," natatawa kong sabi habang pilit syang hinihila pero ang bigat nya talaga.

Magkaedad kami pero ang bulto niya parang hindi. I mean his body is like a mature man pero natatakot siya sa rides.

"No, ayoko talaga."

"Are you afraid of heights?" napayuko siya.

"N-No, not really."

"Then why?" he remained silent.

"Kung susuka ka, edi sumuka ka nalang sakin." I grinned.

Buong lakas ko siyang hinila kaya di na siya nakapalag. Agad akong umupo sa bakanteng pwesto at agad naman siyang tumabi sakin. Di ko alam kung matatawa ba ako o maaawa sa kanya, ngiwing-ngiwi na kasi ang mukha niya. Pero kahit nakangiwi ito gwapo pa din siya.

Para siyang perpektong gawa ng Panginoon. Kahit saang anggulo o panig waka kang mapipitas na kapangitan sa kanya.

From his perfect-shaped eyebrows, that pointed nose, those voluptuous lips.

I was shocked when I saw myself holding his hands.

"Wag kang matakot, nandito naman ako," sabi ko.

Kita ko ang pagpula ng kanyang mga tenga.
