Augustus Mondragon came back home not just to spend his Christmas together with his whole family but to propose a marriage to Zoie, his girlfriend. Naiinggit kasi ang binata tuwing makikita ang mga chikiting ng kapatid niyang si Demitry na nagtatakbuhan sa kanillang ancestral house sa Masbate. His kuya Arizton's wife also just gave birth recently to their eldest. Gustong-gusto na niyang pasukin ang buhay may asawa. Unlike Voltaire, who still loved wandering from one girl to another.
One day, he saw a beautiful charcoal family portrait bought by her mother in the US. Like his mom, he really appreciated art. On the night of Christmas eve, he asked the painter's whereabouts and contact number. He planned to give Zoie a charcoal portrait as a gift.
For many times the artist seemed unavailable, he finally got the chance to meet her. Bitbit niya papasok ng office nito ang isang whole sheet na litrato ng pinakamamahal na Zoie.
By the time he got his first glance to her, he cursed. He was bewitched.
"What can I do for you, sir?" she asked smiling.
"I want to have a nude portrait."
"Excuse me?"
"Gusto kong iguhit mo ako ng nakahubad! Whatever the cost, I'll pay it."
