Chapter 84 Turn Of Events
Hugo, together with Hailey left their house without Verda. Hailey was hopping around as they rode a cab to go to the nearest amusement park near their house. It has gotten quite dark, having almost 5 pm in the clock.
"Stick with me always, alright?" Hugo reminded Hailey firmly. He knew that if Hailey tends to get very excited, she tends to be very stubborn.
"Yes, brother." Hailey nodded her head. She grabbed Hugo\'s hands using her tiny palms. "I will not be away from you brother." She assured.
Taking a sigh, Hugo lightly smiled at Hailey. He looked around and saw that they are just meters away from the entrance of the amusement park. At the distance, he could already see the towering heights of different rides that were scattered around.
There were roller coasters, Ferris wheels, Vikings and many more that you could think of.
"Can you even ride those big things?" He curiously asked. He saw adoration in Hailey\'s eyes as she stared at them.
"Of course, brother!" Hailey responded enthusiastically. She clapped her hands as they arrived at the entrance.
Going down the cab, the both of them ran toward the cashier on the side that was selling some tickets. He bought 2 one which has 5 free rides on whatever they like. It was the lowest priced ticket that e could get.
There was no use in buying the highest priced one since he knew that they will rarely ride these rides. For sure, his sister will just want to stay on the sides where there were booth games.
He can already see himself spending money on those games that were usually scams since it\'s impossible for people to win them.
"What do you want to play first?" He glanced over to Hailey.
Hailey giggled when she didn\'t know what to pick. Her eyes caught a circular ride that was spinning from top to bottom. Since she could see that there was a long lineup and that it was enjoyable by some, she choose it.
"I want to go with that one, brother." She pointed it out.
"The Ferris Wheel?" Hugo\'s brow shot up. Since that ride was harmless then he immediately agreed. They proceeded to line up and when it was already their turn, he made Hailey ride first before following.
"Do you like it?" He happily chucked when Hailey looked so amazed as they flew in the air.
"Yes!" She exclaimed loudly, placing her hands on the glass window. In there, she could se the clouds and the overall view amusement park at the very bottom. There were colorful lights, together with the rainbow banner in the sides.
"It\'s so pretty here, brother!"
"I\'m glad that you liked it."
Hugo was smiling at their overall ride. He took out his phone when it vibrated inside his pocket.
[Verda: Don\'t let your Sister eat a lot of sweets.]
Verda reminded to them. Since she was busy preparing their food for daughter, she decided to just stay in their house knowing that Hugo was already old and capable enough to take care of Hailey.
Hugo replied "Yes mother" before keeping his phone inside his pocket again.
"Do you want to ride another one or do you want to have a snack first?" He worriedly asked after they spent 30 minutes just wandering around the area.
"I am hungry already, brother" Hailey blurted out.
"Then what do you want to eat?"
"Brother, can you get me some Cotton candy?" Hailey pouted her lips as she looked at Hugo with pleading eyes. "Pleaseeee~"
Hugo didn\'t know whether to go buy some or follow his mother\'s words to not let Hailey eat more sweets. When he felt Hailey\'s tiny arms, wrapping around her legs, a deep sigh escaped from his lips.
"Alright… But don\'t tell mother alright?" His forehead creased. He looked seriously at Hailey since he knew that that was the only expression his sister would be scared of.
"Yes, brother…" Hailey looked down on the floor. His hands caught the hem of Hugo\'s shirt, holding unto it tightly as they walked towards the small shop selling colorful cotton candies.
"What do you want?"
"This one!" She smiled widely, pointing out the unicorn shaped cotton candy.
"This one, Sir." Hugo uttered to the vendor. He was eyeing his sister on the side who was busy looking at the people around them.
"Don\'t let go of my shirt alright?" He reminded her. He took one of Hailey\'s hands and hold it.
"Yes Brother. Don\'t worry."
The vendor started doing what they ordered. Hailey was very amazed how the man, shaped the circle cotton candy to be a unicorn. She was clapping her hands as the vendor swirl it around the air.
Hugo couldn\'t help but laugh at his sister\'s reaction. He tilted his head to the side before accepting the stick in his hand. He glanced over at Hailey, giving it to her.
"Hold this first, alright? I will just pay." He ordered around.
Hailey nodded as she gladly accepted the cotton candy in her hands. She was in all smiles as she took a bite on it.
On the other side, Hugo made sure that Hailey was on his side before taking out his wallet from his pocket. He took a 100 dollar bill from it before giving it to the vendor.
"Do you have any small bills sir? This cotton candy only cost 3 dollars." The vendor scratched the back of his head as he gave Hugo back the money.
"ohh…"
Hugo was focused on finding some spare changes in his wallet that he didn\'t notice how Hailey walked away from him. When he successfully found some money, he gave it to the vendor who was busy making another order.
"Hailey, let\'s go now." He was about to grab his sister\'s hands when he saw no one on his side. His heart started to beat faster. He was anxiously turning his head from right to left, trying to find where his sister at.
"BROTHER! HELP ME!!!"
