"Do you like it?"
I continued to stare at the golden bracelet around my wrist. I brought it in front of my eyes and with the sun rising in the horizon bringing its rays to the windshield of the car, the small gems of the bracelet bent the light, shining like they're stars.
"I love it." Nakangiti akong bumaling sa asawa kong nasa driver seat sa aking tabi. Kahit abala sa pagmamaneho ay hindi niya kinakalimutang sulyapan ako na parang ayaw niyang hindi ako nakikita.
Karma reached for my hand and took it to his lips. His fingers played with the golden bracelet on my wrist as he planted a kiss on top of my hand.
"I bought this right before I went to the airport." I felt him smile over my hand. "I was right that it suits you."
He gave me another glance, taking his eyes away from the road for a second. His eyes gazed at me lovingly, bringing comfort to my chest like the warm morning greeting us.
"Mommy..."
Nilingon ko si Lucky na nasa backseat. Gising na ito at kinukusot na ang mga mata.
"Yes, baby?" Umayos ako ng upo para mapagmasdan siya nang ayos.
"I want to pee."
Nilingon ko agad si Karma. Mukha namang narinig niya ang sinabi ng anak namin dahil lumingon siya sa rearview mirror.
"Wait, Lucky. Malapit na tayong mag-stopover," saad ni Karma sa anak namin.
"Hmm... okay." Lucky closed his eyes again.
Karma looked at me weirdly, his brows knitted together. Hindi ko rin malaman kung sleep talk lang ba ni Lucky 'yun o hindi kaya nagkibit-balikat na lang ako.
Nag-stop over pa rin kami sa expressway. Nang huminto kami ay nagising na si Lucky.
"Are we there na, Mommy?" pupungay-pungay niyang tanong nang inaalis ko ang seatbelt niya.
"No, we're just stopping over to eat breakfast." Hinalikan ko ang kanyang noo at maingat na kinusot ang kanyang mga mata para maalis ang muta niya.
