Chapter 24 - INDANG'S TOWN FIESTA;

the toddy cat that her new friend Arnie's mother mentioned earlier turns out to be so delicious, Arriane never tasted such delicacies in her entire life until now.

The meat were tastier than chicken and pork meat and it sure is much cleaner than pork considering it's a wild animal and only eat fruits....

At night Arriane enjoys the tranquillity and peaceful feeling that she felt in her new friend's house....

ARRIANE : Morgana..... this place is so peaceful and quiet, i wish we have a house here too , and i wish mom can also enjoy the place with us.

Arriane said to her twin sister, who sat at the window sill looking at all the stars above...

Arriane's sister turned to look at her saying

MORGANA; yeah... i wish it too.... isn't it amazing how fate played with our lives?

ARRIANE : FATE??? nah... i don't think so.... it's the author's plan to play with the story plot , not fate...

hey..... Arnie said that we can go to the river tomorrow morning with her and some of her friends, i wish I'd known beforehand so that i can pack some swim suit in my luggage...

Arriane said changing the topic.....

Morgana her sister look at her wide eyed, as if she can't believe what she just said....

MORGANA :YOU??? WEARING SWIM SUIT??? oh my!!! i can't imagine myself seeing you wearing swim suit or any skimpy clothes....

ARRIANE : why not??? i love wearing swim suit whenever i go for a swim.....

Her sister look at her smiling before answering her...

MORGANA : Oh..... it's just that I'm not used seeing you wearing one, i guess..... I'm more used seeing you wearing that black outfit.

she explained...

In the morning, Arriane met some of Arnie's friends on their way to the river, they even invite her and her sister Morgana to watch basketball championship with them later tonight....

ARRIANE : sure, why not... she said smiling

it'll be my first time watching basketball, i guess it'll be fun...

then they went to the river for a swim with Arnie's friends and Lia's in-laws....

Watching basketball at night all the people were excited specially those teenagers who already have their favourite player...

Everyone expects that their barrio kaytambog players will be the champions, but in the end, some people in the basketball committees, played a dirty tricks by cheating on the games timer.....

arriane and her new friend went home feeling dejected and aggrieved knowing that they'd beee cheated..... as they wait for the jeepney, they were all talking about the coming fiesta tomorrow, not knowing that a big tragedy awaits them....
