"Mommy, Daddy? Why are you lying on the floor? It's dirty."
My mouth parted when I heard my son. I quickly stood up from Valjerome’s chest and fixed myself. I could even feel my cheeks burning due to the embarrassment. Unlike before when the mall was exclusive to us, now went to the mall in normal days with other people around. I could feel the stare of others who saw us in that position, there were those who were thinking as if it was a romantic scene, and there were also those who were judgmental.
"Oh my! I'm sorry, Miss. My child was so excited to push the cart, you almost crashed," said a lady while caressing a child's shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Ma’am" he apologized and firmly grasped the large cart, perhaps in fear.
It was only then that I realized what had happened. I immediately smiled to reassure them.
"It's fine, I'm not hurt, I guess. Let's just be careful next time," I calmly said.
"Thank you, Miss. I'm sorry again," the woman said.
