Chapter 690 - Six Hundred And Ninety: Be A Man (1/2)

The third point of view:

Akim looked like a kid who just saw Disney hood for the first time. He was simply amazed at the number of crowds present and the wonderful rides the park had to offer. He had seen this place a lot of times online but it was much better now that he was here.

Truthfully, he could have come here if he wanted to but that would warrant his parents renting out the whole place so he could play ”safer” while his guards watched. Hence, coming here became a lifelong dream as he wondered about the time where he could play in the crowd freely without hesitation.

”God, you're like a kid,” Anika chuckled, it was quite a scene.

”I can't help it!” Akim said, ”You don't how exhilarating freedom is until you lose it,” He turned to her, asking, ”How many times have you been here?”

”None,” She answered without hesitation.

Akim turned to her with shock on his face, ”You mean to tell me that you have never been here?”

”Yes,” She simply shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal.

”Oh my God!” Akim exclaimed, running his hand through his hair. She meant to tell him that she hadn't visited a wonderful place like this even when she had the time and freedom? It was insane!

”Why?” he couldn't help but ask. It just didn't make sense. Having been restricted all of his life, Akim had decided that he would take advantage of every little chance to enjoy what life had to offer.

”I don't know, I just never thought about it,” was her reply.

Akim was stunned, ”You just never had the time to have fun?” he found it hard to believe.

”Yeah,” I had to spend most of my time plotting your downfall, Anika said in her mind. She had been designed from birth to be his nemesis, there was no time for fun.

”You are weird,” Akim said. Unfortunately, he liked weird.

”Come on then,” he was the one to grab her arm this time, ”Let's go have fun!”

And fun they did have. The rides weren't as exciting as Akim did - it was more than exciting! He couldn't remember the number of times they screamed - the screams just never ended.

Anika even managed to take a hilarious photo of him screaming out his lungs. How did she manage to do that? He doesn't know but she's simply amazing.

They rode the Bumper cars, Tilt-A-whirl, Insanity, and a whole lot of others. At a point, they ended up on the Ferris wheel and that was where strange things began to happen.
