ANG ENGAGEMENT NG isa sa New York City's Most Eligible Bachelor ay bumalandra sa maraming society pages at maging sa mga fashion magazines. Dahil sa kahilingan ni Janessa ay hindi napublicize ang impormasyon tungkol sa kaniya. She wanted to keep her identity hidden dahil alam niyang maraming naghahangad ng posisyon niya sa buhay ni John. He agreed and was able to pull it off with the help of his good relationship with the Press People.
They were spending quality time together for a week sa isang California resort when John dropped the bomb on her.
"Half a year?" paniniguro ni Janessa na tama ang narinig niya mula sa katipan. Nasa private villa sila. Sa ilalim ng puting comforter sila magkayakap. It was already lunch time ngunit hindi pa sila bumabangon. She turned and propped her elbow sa unan para mas makita ang mukha ni John.
"Magiging busy ako for the next six months dahil sa Europe and Australia expansion. I will still be in touched digitally of course," he assured her. Humalik ito sa kaniyang ilong.
Napabuntonghininga si Janessa. Sanay naman siya ng long distance ang relationship nila ngunit ngayong ikakasal na sila, mas gusto niya sanang mas madalas silang magkita at magkasama.
"Ness, this is only temporary. Kapag tapos ka na sa MBA mo, I'll take you everywhere I go."
Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Janessa, "Everywhere? You mean, I can't work?"
Si John naman ang napabuntonghininga at hinila siya sa isang mahigpit na yakap. Nagkadikit ang mga katawan nila and she felt something stir down below nang mapadikit ito sa may tiyan niya.
"You can do whatever you want and I'll support you. If you want to work, siyempre papayag naman ako pero sana sa company natin--"
"Natin?" she asked with a smile on her face. She feels giddy whenever he would mention something about their future together. Kahit sa panaginip noon hindi niya inakala na magkakaroon siya ng mapapangasawa na kagaya ni John.
"Of course! When we're married, all of me, including what's mine will be yours and you'll be mine, forever," hinabaan pa ni John ang pagsabi ng salitang forever.
Natawa si Janessa at bahagyang itinulak si John para makatingin ito sa mga mata ng lalaki.
"Masyado mo namang ipinamukha na wala akong madadala sa marriage natin kung hindi ang sarili ko lang," she said grinning. Aminado naman si Janessa na wala siyang maibibigay kung hindi ang pagmamahal lang niya at loyalty.
"You know that's not what I was implying, Ness," he said seriously. Si Janessa naman ang humalik sa ilong ni John.
"I know. Kaya nga sana hindi malaman ng ibang tao kung gaano lang kadukha ang mapapangasawa mo, baka sabihin pa gold digger ako," she smiled, keeping her insecurities hidden behind her pearly white teeth.
"May gold digger ba na siya pa ang nagpropose ng prenup agreement kahit na wala naman sa bolabularyo ko 'yon?" tanong ni John. He caressed her cheek kaya't napapikit si Janessa.
"Sa panahon ngayon, you have to protect your family's asset kasi pinaghirapan ninyo, mo, 'yon."
He pulled her on top of him and she forced herself not to moan with the sudden change in their position.
"Balewala lang 'yong prenup kasi for separation lang 'yon and I'm not even considering, even in my subconscious na maghihiwalay tayo sa future. You and I will be together forever." Hinawi ni John ang buhok ni Janessa at iniipit sa may likuran ng tainga so he could see her face properly kahit nasa ibabaw siya.
