Hindi pa man lubusang nabubuksan ni Halcon ang pinto ay sinalubong na siya ng yakap ng isang maliit na babae.
Sa kanyang likod ay ang kakamot-kamot sa batok na si Mason na parang nahihiya sa nakikita.
"Kuya Halcon!" tili ng babae habang mahigpit pa rin ang yakap sa kanya.
Halcon let out a hearty laugh at niyakap din ang babae.
When they finally let go of each other. Napabaling sa 'kin ang tingin ng babae. It also gave me time to get a better look at her.
She has a petite frame. Definitely a teenager. Magka edad siguro sila ni Mason. Her hair was tied by a yellow ribbon on her nape. But the most distinctive is her eyes. There's something in that almond brown orbs, it's familiar.
"Kasi..." She fidgeted her fingers and glanced at Mason bago bumalik sa 'kin ang kanyang tingin. Nahihiya siyang ngumiti at saka nagsalita.
"H-hello. Ako si Beatrice."
Napa tikwas ang kilay ko sa ginamit niyang salita. I'm also amused but I retained my poker face. Based from their exchanging glances with Mason, mukhang tinuruan siya ng binata.
Beatrice gave Mason a worried glance at siniko ito.
"Akala ko ba gusto niya kapag ganoon ko siya babatiin?" She tried to whisper the words but with the fact na magkaharap lang kami ay dinig na dinig namin iyon.
"Iyon nga..." depensa ni Mason habang hinahaplos ang siniko ng babae.
Halcon chuckled beside me and wrapped his arm on my shoulder before whispering.
"Siya si Beatrice. Ang anak ni Salom."
My lips formed in an 'O' and my face brightens with what he said. Doon ko lang din nakita ang pagkakahawig nila ni Salom. Her brown eyes were the same with Salom's!
"Hi! Ako si Avyanna. Tawagin mo akong ate Avy." I extended my hand for a shake that she gladly took and shook too enthusiastically.
"Ikinagagalak kitang makilala ate Avyanna. Naikwento ka sa akin ni ama at Mason," she said while still holding my hand. I looked at Mason who averted his eyes.
"Gano'n ba? Nababanggit ka rin sa 'kin ng iyong ama. Sana lang, maganda ang mga sinabi nila tungkol sa 'kin," pagbibiro ko.
Before, I envisioned Beatrice as a big and strong girl. His father said that she wrestled with bears and wild boars and that she cares about her animals more than she cares about her own father, Salom joked. I'm not expecting her to look like this, petite and soft looking. I can't imagine her wrestling with bears and wild boars.
"Oo nga pala. Nagpunta kami rito para ibigay ito." Pinulot niya ang isang basket na may takip na puting tela.
She handed me the basket and I took a peek at what's in it. Fruits.
