A/N: Time setting was few months after their wedding. :*
"B-Bal?" I woke up in the middle of my sleep and when I looked up at him while rubbing my eyes, he's staring at me. "What time is it? You're awake already eh?" He stared at me for a little more while and kissed the side of head.
"It's 3 am pa lang Bal. Tulog ka pa. 2 am na tayo natapos ah." He said smiling while rubbing my arms na nakayakap sa bewang niya. Gosh. Naalala ko yung nangyari kanina at bigla akong nahiya. Sumiksik ako sa dibdib niya at kinurot-kurot ko yung braso niyang nakayakap rin sa'kin. Natatawa-tawa lang siya. Kainis to!
"St-stop Bal. Naglalambing lang eh. C'mon. sleep ka na. I know you're tired. I'll sing you to sleep okay?" I hugged him tighter and nodded. So this is my first night of being Mrs. Padilla? Tiring pala.
"SO WHERE do you wanna go now?"
Tanong sa'kin ni DJ. We're outside the hotel, hand in hand. Wala kaming planned itineraryand this is our first day here in Japan. Wedding gift 'to nina Mama at Mama Karla. Yes people, this is our honeymoon/ vacation. At ngayon nga ay naglalakad lang kami from our hotel wandering the streets here.
"I don't know. You? Where do you want to go?"
He's playing our hands which I find giddying. "I'm really fine wherever we go as long as the hand I'm holding is yours." Then he kissed my forehead. I don't know how far I can go being Mrs. Padilla before I melt from his words. I swear.
"Okay then. I want to try icecream here! Yay. Let's go Bally!"
Agad ko siyang hinila at tumakbo sa mga stalls. Tatawa-tawang umiiling siyang nagpahila. Ang daming pwedeng mabili. You have here icecream, cotton candy, sorts of street food and a lot. I've tried their dirty ice cream and oh god. It tastes heaven! I was licking the ice cream when Dj got a hold of my hand to wipe the gelato from it but before he could do that nabawi ko na ang kamay ko at lumayo sa kanya.
"No Bal. Don't wipe it ok? Ice cream's better and more enjoyable if you'll finger-lick it! Come try it!" I pouted.
"Where the hell did you get that? Look! You're such a messy eater! Come here, I'll wipe it off."
Nakakainis. Padabog akong lumapit sa kanya at pabalang na inabot ang kamay ko. Napahigit siya ng hininga at kinuha ang ice cream sa'kin! Grabe siya talaga!
"Tssk. Buntis ka na ba agad? Ang moody mo Bal. Okay. Okay. Kung di lang kita mahal eh. Sige let's be messy together." He then scooped the ice cream with his fingers and spread it into his lips. He grabbed my hand tapos naglakad na ulit kami. The whole time, tinitingnan ko lang siya. He's a clean-freak but he's willing to be messy with me. Tell me now that I don't have the best guy ever and I will slap your butts out.
The place is damn crowded. I kept on looking at the sceneries here in Japan. The trees. The streetlights. The foodstalls, everything. Nawili ako ng sobra at hindi ko namalayan na wala na si DJ sa tabi ko! Luminga-linga ako para hanapin siya. Pero dahil sa kapal ng tao ay hindi ko Makita ni anino niya. I started walking. No I should have stayed in my place. I tried going back sa kinalalagyan ko kanina but I can't seem to find it anymore. I'm close to crying. Really close.
"Bally, w-where a-are yo-you?" I sat on the pavements while the people are cheering.
"3.." I started sobbing. "DJ. Na-nasaan k-ka na b-ba k-kas-si?!"
"2.." I wiped my tears. "No Kath. You should be matapang. DJ won't like the fact na umiiyak ka again. But I-I'm d-damn lo-lost!"
"1..HAPPY NEW YEAR!" That's it. I cried but before I could sat on the pavements and cry harder, big arms spooned me in a tight hug. That scent. I sobbed harder smelling that scent.
"FCK. Where have you been Kath?!" Hinihingal niyang sabi. "You scared the sht out of me! I told you to—sht! Fck. Don't cry love." Pinipilit niyang i-angat ang mukha ko at punasan ang luha ko. He hugged me tighter and whispered gently, "Are you scared? I-I'm..I'm sorry for shouting. I'm sorry for not being aware that I've let go of your hand. I'm sorry for finding you after 15 minutes. I'm sorry Bal. I'm sorry."
Pinilit kong kumalma at kumalas sa yakap niya. I tiptoed and gave him a smack on the lips which eventually turned into an ardent kiss. "It's not your fault Bal. Let's.. Let's just forget about it okay? Honeymoon natin and New Year ngayon so let's enjoy!" He smiled. I hold his hand and tagged him along pero hinigit niya ang kamay ko na naging dahilan ng pagtigil ko sa paghila sa kaniya.
"Don't ever scare me like that again Kathryn." He seriously said while gripping my hands tighter. "Don't ever let go of my hand again. I don't want to lose you again. Not in this place. Not in this lifetime."
