The smile he had when Bondita said she wants to help him because its such a good cause, not only because his her husband.
I don't think he was expecting this from her. He just wanted her to help him as somebody who can strike a chord with the villagers.
It was happiness that at least 1 other person is in support of his cause and its a validation he needed his path is right. Seems like he didnt see Bondita as child but an equal. 😊
