Nagtaka si Wendy nang igiya siya ni Ambrose sa kabilang panig ng pasilyo. Tumapat sila sa isang pinto. This was the first time she had ever been to that area of his house.
"Sa kabilang silid ay ang gym." Sabi nito.
"Oh, hindi ko napansin ang panig na 'to ng second floor. Masyado kasing malaki ang bahay na 'to."
Ngumiti ito. "And this room," he opened it, "This room is ours from now on."
Napanganga siya sa bumungad sa kanila. He clapped twice and the lights turned on. The room was extremely spacious, doble ang laki ng kama. Puting-puti ang kubrekama niyon, tila kay lalambot ng apat na malalaking unan na nakasandal sa headboard. Naglakad sila at nakita niya ang walk in closet. It was huge, she almost couldn't believe it. Wala pang laman ang mga closets at drawers na naroon. May ilang mga vase doon na kinalalagyan ng mga dried flowers. They were so beautiful.
He led her to the bathroom and her eyes widened. The bathroom was too beautiful, and there was also a built-in sauna next to it.
"Seryoso ka?"
Tumango ito. "Yes."
Inilibot niya ang tingin. "Kasinglaki na ng banyo na 'to ang buong bahay ko sa Mindoro," hindi niya napigilang sambitin.
Nginitian siya nito, inakay siya nito sa isang panig at tumambad sa kanya ang isa pang walk-in closet.
"This is gonna be your personal space in the room."
May vanity sa isang gilid, napakasopistikada ng dating niyon. The countertop was filled of designer perfumes and lotions. Napalingon siya kay Ambrose.
"All yours," anito.
Napailing siya habang pinaglalandas ang mga daliri sa mga iyon. She saw her reflection in the mirrow. She didn't deserve all these.
"Naku...hindi ko naman..."
Mula sa kanyang likuran ay pumalibot ang mga braso nito sa kanyang baywang. He rested his head on her shoulder. Kapwa sila nakatingin sa salamin.
"You deserve all these and more..."
"Ambrose, hindi naman talaga kailangan—"
"This room has been waiting for you. This house has been waiting for you for a very long time. This is yours, Gwen. At ito ang pinakaimportanteng parte ng bahay. At gusto ko, makasama ka rito. Don't you like it? We can do some renovations. We can change some things here. We can hire new designers—"
"Ambrose, this is too much. Baka hindi na nga tayo magkakitaan sa laki nitong kuwarto na 'to, eh."
Sa repleksiyon nila sa salamin napatitig siya sa mga mata nito. He kissed the side of her neck and she watched him as he was slowly taking her robe off. Hinalikan siya nito sa kanyang balikat, sa kanyang braso. Hindi niya inaalis ang tingin sa repleksiyon nila sa salamin. He smiled as he hugged her from behind.
Ipinahinga nito ang ulo sa kanyang balikat.
"You are the queen of this house. You can decorate it however you want it. This is yours."
Napasinghap siya sa narinig. Hindi makapaniwala sa lahat ng mga sinabi nito. And God...how can he be this perfect in her eyes?
"I'll just take a quick shower. We can use this room tonight. Would you want that?"
Hindi niya malaman ang sasabihin. Everything seemed surreal. Everything seemed like a dream. And she felt like she was being hypnotized by this man.
"O-okay lang..." mahina niyang tugon.
He smiled at her, flashing his perfect teeth. "Or you can join me in the shower." Nanunuksong paanyaya nito.
