CHAPTER 23

Perfect

THE calming scent of lavender and chamomile bubble bath soothed Monique's tired body. Nilalaro ng kanyang mga palad ang mga pinong bula na nakalutang sa kabuuan ng bath tub. This scene felt so familiar to her. It was like a deja vu.

"'Di ka pa ba matutulog, babe?"

"Hmmmm?" Napangiti si Monique sabay yakap kay Raffy, ang kanyang fiance.

"Bukas nalang yan, babe. Leave it to me," he sheepishly smiled. Napailing nalang siya.

She's unpacking his suitcase. Nasa Davao sila ngayon para sa isang business trip. Her fiance is trying to oversee the ongoing construction of his high rise condominium units. Hands-on ito sa pagpapatakbo ng negosyo. Even if naka-base sa Davao ang business partner nitong si Micheal, nakakahanap pa rin ito ng panahon para i-check ang progress ng construction. Right now, they're at the Marco Polo Hotel. Inaayos niya ang mga gamit nito sapagkat kung hindi, tiyak na hahayaan lang nito na magulo ang mga gamit.

"Are you sure, you're not gonna stay here?" Nagpapa-cute na tanong nito sa kanya habang dahan-dahang hinahawakan ang kanyang baywang.

"You know I can't be here. No, strike that. You know I shouldn't be here," sagot niya. And she gave him a quick peck on the lips.

"I'll go to my room now. Good night, Raffy baby." She hugged him tight. He hugged her back and kissed her.

"'Lika na."

"What?"

"'Lika na. Hatid na kita sa room mo."

"No way. What am I? A four-year-old?" Natawa nalang siya.

He made face and pulled her out of the room.

"Seriously, babe, you don't need to walk me to my room. Hello, we're like two rooms apart," aniya sabay tawa.

He just grunted. Ginawaran siya nito ng masuyong halik nang marating na nila ang kanyang suite room.

"'Love you. Sleep tight, babe."

"'Love you too. 'Night!"

She locked the door and headed straight to the bathroom to prepare her hot tub. Dahan dahan niyang ibinuhos ang bath salts sa tub. Babalikan niya nalang ito pagkatapos mag unpack ng mga gamit sa kanyang suitcase. Pagkatapos ayusin ang kanyang mga gamit ay lumublob na siya sa tub.

She was completely naked as she stepped into the tub. She let out a long sigh. Ngayon lang siya nakaramdam ng pagod. The feel of the warm bubble bath against her skin feels like a soothing balm. She reached for the loofah and started rubbing all over her body. As she squeezed it, she noticed that she's still wearing her rings. Nakalimutan niya palang hubarin at ilagay sa dresser.

A sudden rush of happiness filled her heart while she's staring at her two precious rings. Ang isa ay ang kanyang engagement ring. It's a 4 karat Cartier princess cut diamond ring given to her by her fiance. Ang isa naman ay ang kanyang Tiffany & Co. platinum band chastity ring. Mahalaga ang singsing na iyon para sa kanya. Binigay ito ng kanyang mommy noong fifteen years old pa lang siya. It's symbolic of her purity. She made a promise to God, to her mom, as well as to her own self that she will remain pure until marriage. And that she will only give herself to her husband and no one else.
