Worth tighened his hold around me against him. Hinilig ko ang ulo ko sa kanya habang pinapanood ang mga taong kumakaway samin. I place my fingers on my lips and raised it up in the air to wave them goodbye.
Naghahabulan ang mga batang dumaan sa harap namin pasunod sa mga magulang nila. One of them was running downhill with one of my kites. I laughed and waved at them too.
The wedding just ended and I'm happy they were here to watch us. They are off back to the village early. Hindi na sila magtatagal pa dito dahil mahaba-haba pa ang lalakarin nila pabalik sa kanilang bayan.
"Are you hungry?" Worth asked while we watch them went down from the hills.
I honestly nodded on his chest. I haven't eaten lunch yet.
There was a child holding a basket passed by us. She suddenly stopped running and peeked on my stomach. Nakita ko ang magulang nito sa malayo na hinihintay na siya. Her curious eyes remained on my belly. She turned around and look up to me. Her eyes twinkled and she walked shyly to me holding her basket on her side.
Tumigil siya sa harapan ko at bumaba ulit ang tingin sa tiyan ko. Kumunot ang noo niya. Probably wondering what was it. Napangiti ako at kinuha ang isang maliit niyang kamay. Tumingin ako sa mga magulang niyang nakangiti lang pinagmasdan ang anak.
I placed her tiny hand on my bump. Making her feel it on her own. Her eyes twinkled again in wonder and she giggled with her little voice. Tumingin siya sakin at kumunot ang noo.
Worth lingered his nose on my hair before kneeling down to the little girl.
"A-Ano po? Ito, oh," Her sweet voice jiggled pointing at my bump.
I glance at Worth. Waiting for his response. I'm sure this young girl wouldn't understand his language. Tumaas ang kilay kong hinihintay ang matagal niyang sagot. Nag-iisip pa siya.
He look up to me first before answering the little girl.
"Maliit na anghel. Papakilala ko siya sayo kapag lumabas na siya. It's--I mean, mahimbing pa siyang natutulog sa loob," I saw him gulped on his explanation.
Gusto kong pumalakpak sa kanya pero natawa nalang ako at umiling. I removed the child's hand on it and touched her hair.
"Pwede ko ba siyang maging kaibigan?" she innocently asked. Her hopeful eyes lift to me and blink.
Tumango ako.
"Oo naman. Anong pangalan mo? Ipapakilala kita sa kanya..." Ngumiti ako.
Lumapad naman ang ngiti niya at lumiwanag ang mukha sa galak. Tumango-tango siya.
"Sanya po!" Mabilis niyang sagot at tumingin ulit sa tiyan ko. Lumabi siya nang marinig ang tawag ng mga magulang niya sa malayo.
"Magkikita ulit kayo, Sanya." Worth assured her.
She obeyingly nodded her head while pouting. Tumalikod na siya at tumakbo. "Babye po!" sigaw niya papalayo.
Her parents waved at us and take her hands. They started walking away. Pasulyap-sulyap pa si Sanya samin habang papalayo. Worth stood up. He locked me in his arms again and whispered to me.
"Let's go back inside. We'll have lunch and get on with the honeymoon." He seductively murmured and started kissing my neck.
Humawak ako sa braso niya. "I thought that was last night?" mahinang tanong ko.
"We'll have another one tonight. You fell asleep, last night. I want you again, baby. I mean, I always want you though,"
Tinapik ko ang braso niya. Umiling ako nang may naalala.
