For Luna Alondra Dawson, marriage is a word so simple but holds so much weight. Some people are scared of it, some don't care much about it, for some it's just a paper, while there are those that just use it as a form of agreement, and there are tho...

CHAPTER 24: CHIPS
LUNA'S POV
I pried my eyes away from the view in front of me, and I turned to Magnus and looked at him in disbelief. "When I thought I had you figured it out, you do something like this and surprise me again."
"Where did you think I would bring you?"
"Well, for one, a bar?"
"I don't like you drinking."
Pinaikot ko ang mga mata ko. "A theme park?"
"You'll enjoy it for about five minutes, and then you'll get bored of it."
That is probably true. Wala lang naman sa akin na maraming tao ang pupuntahan pero hindi talaga ako mahilig hiluhin at takutin ang sarili ko ng ilang oras. Siguro kung kasama ang mga sister-in-law ko ay mas enjoy.
"So a casino it is, then," I mumbled as I turned back to the view in front of us.
Maraming tao sa casino na pinagdalhan niya sa akin. Sari-saring mga tao ang abala sa pagbabawas ng pera nila sa pag-asang magiging doble iyon. Or more. There are those who look like tourists, some who look like normal-looking people who are hoping for a big win, and there's a lot who seem to be big players.
Nakapasok na ako sa casino pero hindi para maglaro. I've gambled once before, pero tong its lang iyon noong panahon na nasa ibang field pa ako ng industriya at may nakita akong mga senior citizen na naglalaro sa tabi ng kalsada.
I don't really agree with wasting a lot of money on gambling. I know a lot of people who lost so much because of it. But I guess there's no harm in trying it once in awhile. Nagiging problema lang naman ang isang bagay kapag hindi mo alam kung paanong kontrolin ang sarili mo.
"What do you want to try?" Magnus asked.
"Something easy."
"The slot machine?"
"That's too easy."
Umangat ang sulok ng labi niya at inabot niya ang kamay ko bago niya ako hinila papunta sa isang direksyon. Naramdaman kong nakasunod sa amin sina Pike at Nevan pero sa iisang bagay napako ang atensyon ko. I couldn't help but stare at our joined hands for a moment. His hand is far bigger than mine, and it shows in how my own has been immediately engulfed in his.
We went into what I think people call a casino cage, so we could obviously exchange currency for chips. Bumita ako kay Magnus para sana kunin ang wallet ko pero mas mabilis siya at naabutan na niya ng card ang babaeng empleyado na nasa loob ng booth.
He leaned down and said something to the woman, and when he straightened, I could see the woman stacking chips at a pace that only a professional could do. Ilang sandali lang ay inabot niya ng lahat iyon kay Magnus na hinati iyon at ibinigay sa akin ang iba.
