She was stunned when the cab Dino and she were riding in came to a stop at a motel. He grabbed her arm to assist her in exiting the vehicle while she was still in shock. She avoided looking at the driver out of shyness because she knew he was already having negative thoughts about both of them.

She stepped out of the cab silently. Dino handed the payment to the old driver. She waited for the car to leave before speaking.

She softly questioned her fiance, "W-why are we here again?"

She lost count of how many times he took her there throughout their six-year relationship, despite her repeated refusals.

Dino pleadedly said, "Yaz, give me what I want. Our wedding is next month, right?"

"That's right. You've already waited six years, so how long will we wait to fulfill your request legally? How long is one month?"

He remained silent. She could even make out the gaping of his jaws when he turned to face another way.

The tone of the man's voice was a mix of sullenness and fury. "Are you always going to disgrace me like this? In the six years we've been together, it looks like you still don't trust me."

She had a somewhat guilty feeling. Dino found it difficult to suppress his needs as a man. Her parents were pretty traditional when she was little. Despite how much she adored her boyfriend, she couldn't commit herself to him because of her conservative personality.

"Din," she said as she reached out to touch her boyfriend's face.

He called a cab passing by.

His forehead was creased, and he didn't even look at her, saying, "I can't accompany you to your home anymore. I'm going somewhere else."

"Where are you headed?"

He no longer appeared to be in the mood, saying, "Just anywhere! Go ahead. Get in the cab."

She boarded the waiting cab with reluctance. She was ashamed to take the front seat. Her attention was caught once more by Dino, who was in a different cab. He left right away and stopped speaking to her.

She was restless when the driver started the car. Her mind stayed on Dino. She was on the verge of exiting the cab and consenting to Dino's demand. She is, after all, going to be his wife in a month. She might have said yes to him if he hadn't quickly gotten into another cab.

Last month, he also asked her out, and it was then that she first observed a difference in his behavior when she declined. He used to understand her reasons for not wanting anything to happen sexually between them.

She had dreams of giving herself away on their first night as a married couple. Since she was a young child, her mother has ingrained in her mind that the nicest present she can give her spouse, according to her, is her virginity.

When Dino invited her that day, she assumed they were just going for a casual stroll. She had the day off because it was Sunday. She's an office clerk at a small company. She didn't anticipate his attempting to request again for a sexual encounter.

As soon as they halted in front of their house, she paid the driver and alighted. Her parents weren't there because they went to visit her Aunt Ellen, his father's sister, in Manila. A celebration was being thrown at his aunt's home because her husband had just gotten back from abroad.

Dino invited her out, so she declined to go with her parents. She also doesn't get to go to her aunt's house as much now that her relationship with Carrie, her cousin, didn't work out when Carrie discovered her boyfriend sneakily flirting with her. The first time Troy made an attempt at cheating on her, she told her cousin about it, but Carrie didn't believe her.
