Marguerite •••
It is a lovely morning as we reached the island of Marguerite. Malayo pa lang kami ay kitang-kita na ang kumpulan ng mga tao sa daungan ng isla. I can see the women waving their hands and the men shouting in excitement.
Marguerite is a lovely island. It's actually bigger than I expected. There is an abundance of trees and humble brick houses with smoke coming out from their chimneys. Hindi dikit-dikit ang mga kabahayan, the houses have their own yard and gardens like they're allergic to each other. This place kinda reminds of Switzerland actually.
I leaned on Halcon's shoulder and gripped his hand that was resting on my waist. Naramdaman ko ang pag halik niya sa tuktok ng ulo ko.
Ang ibang mga crew ay busy rin sa pagkaway at inihahanda na ang pagdaong ng barko.
“Magugustuhan kaya nila ako?” I asked him worriedly. May kaunting kabang namumuo sa aking dibdib.
“Bakit naman hindi. Ikaw ang isa sa kahanga-hangang babae na nakilala ko.”
“Hindi mo naman kailangang mambola.”
“Kailan ko pa ginawa iyon?”
“Uhm... Ngayon lang?”
Ngumisi siya.
“Nagustuhan ka ng nina Salom kaya tiyak na makukuha mo rin ang kanilang loob. Hindi ka nila matitiis.”
Somehow his words calmed and assured me.
Ilang minuto pa ay nakarating na kami sa daungan. Halcon helped with the ship.
Inayos na nila ang gangplank na siyang dadaanan namin pababa ng barko.
“Ang Agness!”
“Maligayang pagbabalik!”
“Gannon, ang aking anak!”
“Ama, narito kami!”
Kanya-kanya silang bati sa mga crew na halos tumakbo pababa para salubungin ang kanilang minamahal.
There were various hugging and small kisses all over. Ngumisi ako nang makitang may magandang babaeng niyakap si Cormack.
Sa dami ng taong bumabati kay Halcon ay hindi ako makasabay sa kanila. I stayed silent on his side habang ang kanyang kamay ay mahigpit na naka hawak sa 'kin.
Most people who greeted him were men but there were also few women na hindi maitago ang tuwa pagkakita kay Halcon. Some of them are obviously smitten and starstruck as they can't help gloating and eating him with their stare.
I looked at them smugly. Well, hanggang tingin lang naman sila.
Mayroon namang ilan na nakakapansin sa presensya ko, but they only gave me a small smile na parang nahihiyang magtanong kung sino ako, while the women are just giving me a look of curiosity.
