A once called ignorant, selfless wife, is ignorant and selfless no more. And from all the pain she had been through, hindi na siya makakapayag na matapakan muli ang pagkatao niya. Hindi niya hahayaan muli na maisahan siya dahil sa kahinaan niya noon...
"I like my coffee with two sugars in it High heels and my jewelry dripping Drink and I get all fired up, hey, hey, hey Insecure but I'm working with it Many things that I could get rid of Ain't about to give it up—"
I am enjoying little mix's song 'Woman Like Me' when my phone suddenly rings. Pangalan ni Dominic ang rumehistro sa screen ng cellphone ko.
I just ignored it and continued my shower. Oh, how many minutes am I here in the shower room? 3o minutes? Or over an hour?
Natawa ako sa kapilyahan ko. Sinadya ko talaga na tagalan ang pagligo para inisin siya. At sigurado akong kanina pa siya bihis na bihis.
I decided to finish my bath and wrap myself with a towel and go out.
I immediately picked up the clothes that I'm going to wear. I decided to wear a casual outfit. A black shirt and jeans.
After I dress up, I quickly blow dry my hair. I just let my straight hair loose with my bangs. I didn't put too much make-up on my face. I just put red lipstick on my lip and then pulled out a pair of white shoes.
I peeked on my cellphone. Dominic sent me a message a few minutes ago.
From: Dominic Are you done? Are we still going? Please reply.
I laughed because of his text. I peeked on my watch. It's 7 PM already.
Ng masigurado kong handa na 'ko ay tsaka ako lumabas dala ang purse ko.
Naabutan ko si Dominic na nasa sala at patingin tingin sa relo niya.
"I'm done." Sabi ko habang nakatayo sa harapan niya.
He's stunned when he saw me.
"I thought..."
"I just took satisfaction in the shower. So, shall we?" Sabi ko.
But it seems like he did not hear me. He's just gazing at me. And the way he stares, I know that already.
"Sorry. Wala na kasi akong time mag-hanap ng maayos na damit. I'm in hurry—"
"No. I like it. You're so beautiful tonight..."
Napataas ang kilay ko.
Talaga lang, huh?
"Thanks—" Napatingin ako sa soot niya.
Now I just noticed that he's wearing light blue polo sleeves that rolled up to his elbows and paired with slacks.
He's dashing.
"Do I need to change my clothes?" He asked when he noticed that I was staring at him.
I shook my head.
"No, it's alright. This is just a simple dinner, right? Nothing special."

He stopped because of what I said. I didn't mean it... It just came out in my mouth, naturally.
"Yeah... You're right." Tumango-tango na lamang siya.
"By the way, where's Eric?" Pag-iiba ko ng usapan.
"He's asleep."
"Oh, okay? Kumain na ba siya?"
"Yes. I cooked his food. Actually, he was looking for you earlier. And... I told him that we have a date and you are preparing. " He said.
Tumango-tango naman ako ulit.
"He's very happy..." I looked at him.
Alam kong matutuwa si Eric kapag nalaman niya ito. Kahit naman kasi hindi sabihin sakin ng anak ko ang gusto niya, alam ko na 'yon. Sino bang bata ang ayaw ang makumpleto ang pamilya? Wala. Kaso, hindi ganon kadali ang gusto niya. Pero, para sa anak ko, pipilitin kong ayusin ang dapat ayusin. At sana, hindi ako mabigo katulad ng dati. Sa madaling salita, ayokong MASAKTAN ulit. Kung mangyari man 'yon, tama na.
This will be the last chance.
"Let's go?" I was back in reality when Dominic holds my hand. Tight but cautious.
"Is there something wrong?" Tanong niya ng mapansin niya ang pagka-tahimik ko bigla.
I just looked at him instead and shook my head.
"N—nothing. Tara na."

Dominic took me to a fine dining restaurant. Here at Bayview by Michael Roth. This is actually a superb restaurant. I've been here once with Marco then. But at this moment, I decided not to mention it to Dominic. I don't want to break his mood somehow. I feel sorry for what I said earlier. Ayoko na 'yong dagdagan pa. Kita ko naman na nag-e-effort siya para magkasundo kami.
"D—Do you like here?" Dominic asked me as we get inside. To be honest, I appreciate his effort. He reserved a VIP room restricted only for us.
"Yes." I answered.
He dragged me carefully in the chair.
"There you go, baby." He even winked at me before he sat down in front of me.
"Our food will be served later on. Do you want to have some wine first?" My eyes seemed to sparkle as I heard it.
Oh, I really love wines!
"Yes please." I answered.
He stood up for a while to get me wine as I saw the delicious Stella Rosa Imperiale Moscate and my eyes sparkle!
I just watched him while he was busy preparing it. Until my eyes fell on his... back. It's so broad. And his butt... merde! (shit)
Hindi ko alam kung anong pumasok sa utak ko at napansin ko ang mga bagay na hindi dapat.
Stop gaping at him!
I moved my eyes to my right side, watching the blue luminous jellyfishes. They look so cute! Compare to his butt!
"Here's your wine, baby..." I gulped.
"J—Just put it down... Thanks." I didn't bother to look at him as I was busy watching the tiny jellyfishes.
"You like them?"
"Yeah... They're relaxing to watch..." I leaned on my seat and drink my wine.
