Seven Days In Paradise

Island Hopping

Bea's POV:

We've been sailing for a few months sakay ng MV Wolverine, we stopped on different islands across the pacific ocean. Nakadaong kami ngayon sa Okinawa Island sa Japan. We have been out and about the whole day, just exploring the island. Hand in hand we walked. Next Week we'll be touring the Southern Ocean. We will be concluding our trip with the Arctic Ocean before heading back to the pacific.  Pagtapos ay uuwi na kami sa Hawaii. It has been an amazing time we had. I watched as she ordered for us. Nasa isang restaurant kami sa Okinawa. Having lunch, kakagaling lang namin sa Aquarium where we saw the rich Marine life that lives along the shores of Okinawa.  We had fun looking at the sea creatures. This was not her first time in Japan, she had visited Japan with her Lolo and Lola. She started to speak in Japanese. Natameme lang ako as she smiled at the waiter after ordering.

"Love, I didn't know you could speak Japanese." I said to her na manghang-mangha ako. 

"I speak a little bit love, kasi lolo taught me how to." She smiled at me. 

"Nice." I smiled at her. 

"Magugustuhan mo yung ramen nila dito love." She smiled at me.

"Wow! Really? Sige, tignan natin pagdating ng mga inorder mo." I smiled at her.

We were sitting adjacent to each other, dahil gusto ni Zoey ang ganitong posisyon namin. She whips out her phone and gave me the other half of her earphones.

"Listen to this song, love." She said.

"What's it called?" I asked her.

"Something to live for by Chris Connor. It's a nice song love." She smiled at me as the song played.

I listened to the song and she spoke again.

"Did you know that Chris was said to be a lesbian?" She asked me.

"Di ko alam love, hindi ko kasi kinalakihan ang mga kanta nila, o yung genre na gusto mo." I said apologetically.

"Oh ayan, now you know." She laughed at me.

"You surprise me each day love. Thank you for being you."

"You're welcome love, pero ikaw din naman lagi mo akong sinusurprise. Sweet ka pa nga eh." She said smiling. 

Once our orders were served, we started to eat. She ordered seafood ramen for me and she ordered chicken teriyaki for her. She was smiling as we ate. 

"Cute mo talaga kumain love." She smiled at me. 

"Hay naku, love. Salamat, pero hindi naman ako cute." 

"You're right love, you're not cute. You're charming and gorgeous." She smiled at me.

I could only shake my head and laugh at my wife. After all these years she and I have spent together, hindi pa din ito nagbabago sa pagiging pilya nya. 

"Thank you, love. You're charming and gorgeous too. Kaya nga hindi na kita pinakawalan pa." I smiled back at her.

"Yan siya oh, hay naku love. I'm so grateful to have you in my life." She says so. 

We continued to eat at pagtapos ay nag-lakad nanaman kami sa buong isla with my wife as a tour guide. She showed me the hidden places and beauty of the island Osaka. We boarded back to the ship by dawn. We planned to stay in the rest of the evening, we bought several take away food for dinner. We were watching a movie in our room as we ate dinner.

"Love? Napanood mo na itong movie na ito diba?" She said absent mindedly as she ate her Omurice.

"Yes love." I said to her.
