Bestfriends with Promises I [COMPLETED]

Chapter 26: At the Carnival

-26-

Mira's POV

It is 8am when I woke up. Natanghali nga ako ng gising eh.

Onti-onti ko nang nararamdaman ang Christmas season. Lately kasi, nagaga-gala na kami ni Ate. Bili ng kung anu-ano, kain kung saan-saan.

Our foster parents will be spending their Christmas with us. Its my first time spending it with them. I don't know how to act or what to do. Hindi ko pa kasi sila nakaka-sama ng ganung katagal. Well, let's just see.

Kanina pa ako nandito sa kwarto, nag-babasa ng mga pocket collections. Walang magawa eh. May lakad si ate. Nakarinig ako ng katok sa pintuan.

"Mira? May bisita ka sa baba."

Bisita? Baka si Xander lang.

Niligpit ko muna lahat ng mga kagamitan ko ta's bumaba na. I saw not only Xander but all of the gang, busy talking to each other.

"What's cracking?" I asked them

"Hey Mira! Gala tayo? Somewhere near lang, Star City, I guess? I got our driver with us. Sama ka?"

"Dinaanan niyo na 'ko dito eh. Wait for me, I'll fix my self first. Tanong kayo kay manang kung pwede nating dalhin."

"Okay. Oh, by the way. Wag kang mag-suot ng damit na hindi ka makaka-galaw. Don't wear jeans, please? Para may kadamay ako."

"Ba't ka naman kasi nag-shorts?"

"Kung alam mo lang Mira, antagal ng away ng dalawang yan dahil lang sa suot niya."

"Fine, wait for me."

Agad akong umakyat sa kwarto. I took a quick shower then got my self dress up. Kinuha ko ang phone and my small pouch at pumunta na sa kanila.

We headed to Star City.

Grabe nga eh! Within a blink of an eye, naka-hanap na ng date si Patrick. We tried all of the rides pero Patrick find it daw as boring.

"So, saan tayo?" tanong ni Claire.

"Riverbanks tayo? Sa Marikina City. There's a mini Carnival there. Kung gusto mo ng medyo kakaiba, Patrick."

"Tara! San ba yan?"

"Marikina nga."

"Tara!"

"Kuya, alam mo ba yung daan papunta dun?"

"Yes mam. Punta po ba tayo?"

"Tara po!"

At gaya nga ng napag-usapan, we headed to Marikina. Medyo malayo from Manila City. Madami din kaming dinaanan  na stop-over para kumain.

At nang makarating kami sa Marikina, pumunta muna kami sa SM Marikina. We had our mini shopping. We bought clothes and few pairs of shoes. Tapos, iniwan namin sa sasakyan then we headed to that mini carnival.

"Safe ba dito Bie?" Claire asked

"That's the thrill I'm talking about. Of course, its safe, we can't say diba? Tara?"
