It was as if fate itself had orchestrated the moment. The restaurant orchestra began to play, a hush falling over the room as a romantic melody filled the air. Then, I saw him - Magnus, kneeling before me, his eyes locked on mine, a look of such profound love I could barely breathe. A hush filled the dining room as the romantic melody filled the air. All eyes turned to Magnus, who was already kneeling, his gaze locked on my astonished face.

"Valerie?. My love, will you marry me?"

Tears welled up, overwhelming me. Without hesitation, I answered with a sweet 'yes,' just as before. I saw the immense joy in his eyes. He slipped the ring onto my finger and then kissed me. The people around us applauded, but it was getting late, so we decided to leave. Then, Magnus told me he booked a hotel for both of us para doon na muna kami magpahinga at bukas na umuwi.

*****

Magnus had booked a deluxe room at the Escala Hotel. We were in the elevator; he was holding my hand. Silence hung between us until the lights flickered. I looked around - he was gone. The elevator doors then opened unexpectedly on a lower floor of the hotel. There he was - my fianc�, Magnus, smiling at another woman! I couldn't quite make out her features, but why was this happening? Was I dreaming? I stared intently at Magnus and his companion. She had long, pastel pink hair, stood about 5'3", and had fair skin.

"Daddy, what do you think of me?" The woman asked in a cloying, affected voice.

They flirted inside the elevator as if I weren't there, and I watched and listened to their conversation. But I ignored the woman; my attention was fixed on Magnus.

"What do you mean, baby?" He asked, cupping her chin.

"Kasi ano, lately parang tumataba na ako. At iniisip ko kung maganda pa rin ba ako para sa'yo?"

"Ano ba ang sinasabi mo, baby? That I might leave you because you've gained weight and aren't pretty anymore? Baby naman, kahit medyo tumaba ka, mamahalin parin kita." Then he kissed her. It started as a peck, but quickly escalated into a passionate kiss.

"Alam kong panaginip lang ito, pero bakit ganito kasakit ang makitang masaya si Magnus sa piling ng ibang babae? Bakit nangyayari ito sa akin? Ano ba ang nangyayari? Was he cheating on me?"

"You like it? Umm~" Habang nilalaro ang dibdib ng babaeng kasama niya tas hinahalikan sa leeg.

"Ah!~ Y-yes.. D-daddy.. Ugh~"

Suddenly, Magnus slid his hand inside the woman's shirt, then he smirked as he heard the woman's moan.

"Fuck, your so wet down there baby. Shit!" Hingal niya saad.

"Ugh~ um~ ngh~ Go ahead, daddy, put your finger inside me, rub it, do whatever you want." As the woman begs Magnus to do it to her.

Then tears run down to my cheeks for the elevator rings. Sign that they've arrived at second floor. Hanggang sa paunti-unti ay may naririnig ako tumatawag sa pangalan ko then I realized na si Magnus pala. He looked so worried? about me? Nagsasalita siya pero kahit isa sa mga sinabi niya ay wala akong maintindihan.

"Love? are you okay?" He looked so worried.

"Ahhh?. Yeah, yes, love, I'm okay." I wiped the tears and smiled at Magnus, "Let's go."

Nasa tapat na kami ng kwarto naming dalawa ni Magnus ngunit di parin mawala sa isip ko ang senaryong napaginipan ko ng gising. Maya-maya ay binuksan na ang pinto ng kwarto namin, laking gulat ko sa ganda ng kwartong kinuha ni Magnus at habang binuksan ang bintana ng kwarto ay bigla akong napaluha ng hindi sinasadya. Magnus looked at me, smiling. But his smile faded when he saw tears streaming down my cheeks.

"Love, okay ka lang? May masakit ba sayo?" He looked so worried.

As the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in fiery hues of orange, crimson, and deep violet, I sink into the plush embrace of my luxury suite overlooking Taal Volcano. The air is filled with the gentle scent of dust and a hint of the fragrance of flowers from the surrounding plants. The breathtaking spectacle unfolded from my private, teak-wood balcony, furnished with two comfortable wicker armchairs and a small, marble-topped table. A spectacular panorama of color - streaks of fiery orange bleeding into soft rose, then deepening to a rich indigo - is reflected in the shimmering glass of my floor-to-ceiling windows, which are framed by elegant, floor-length silk drapes in a complementary shade of amethyst. The soft glow of the setting sun casts a warm, inviting light across the room, highlighting the rich textures of the hand-woven mat beneath my feet, the deep pile of the cashmere throw draped over the king-size bed, and the polished mahogany of the antique writing desk. The subtle shimmer of gold leaf on the ornate molding adds to the luxurious ambiance. A crystal decanter of chilled champagne sits on a silver tray beside a plush velvet chaise lounge, inviting me to relax and savor the moment. I let the magic of this unforgettable sunset transport me to a world of tranquility and romance, as the silhouette of Taal Volcano adds a unique beauty to the scene.

"A lovely view, you fill my soul." Na siyang nakatingin sa akin.

"T-thank you, love," I said.

We stood close, the space between us humming with unspoken words. I gazed into his eyes, a swirling galaxy of emotions reflected there. I saw the quiet strength she possessed, the unwavering loyalty, the deep well of love she held for me. I saw the laughter we'd shared, the tears we'd cried together, the dreams we held for the future, all etched into the fine lines around her eyes. He looked back at me, and I saw myself reflected in his gaze - a lifetime of shared moments, a future stretching ahead, filled with promise and hope. The unspoken understanding hung heavy in the air, a silent testament to our bond. Then, slowly, inevitably, our lips met, a kiss that sealed the promise in our eyes. Then our kiss escalated into a passionate kiss but then the dream suddenly came back na siyang naging dahilan para bawiin ko ang halik ko.

"Um.. tuloy na lang natin mamaya. Magshoshower lang po ako, Mahal." Tryin' my best not look at his eyes.

"S-sure, Love."

Mabilis akong tumingo papuntang CR at sinarado ang pinto. Hindi ko alam kung tama ba naging kilos ko sa harap ng lalaking mapapangasawa ko - ngunit hindi ko maiwasang maalala yung panaginip.

"Was it a dream? Right?" She slapped her face with her two hands. "Tama, panaginip lang 'yon, hindi yun totoo."

She removed her soiled clothes, turned on the shower, and let the water wash over her body. Habang binabanlawan ang sabon na sa katawan niya ay naramdaman niyang nasa likod si Magnus

"Would you mind if I join you, Love?"

He wraps his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him, then he starts kissing my neck, waiting for my answer to his question.

"Yes, you may love."

"You looked so beautiful as always, my love." He reached out and gently traced his fingers along my collarbone.

Steam filled the small shower enclosure, blurring the edges of the white tiles and creating an ethereal glow around us. I turned to face him, my gaze lingering on his face, the damp strands of his hair clinging to his forehead like dark, glistening seaweed. Water beaded on his eyelashes, catching the light and making them shimmer. Then my gaze dropped to his lips, full and slightly parted, a sheen of water highlighting their curve, making them look impossibly soft and inviting. I fought the urge, the tension coiling tight in my stomach, a knot of anticipation so intense it made my breath catch. But after a few minutes, the battle was lost. He stepped into the shower, the warm water cascading down his back, highlighting the muscles beneath his skin, the sound a soothing counterpoint to the frantic beat of my heart. He moved closer, the heat of his body radiating through the water, until we were touching, skin to skin. The slickness of the water between us heightened the anticipation, a thrilling friction against the heat building between us. His eyes, dark and intense, were inches from mine. He wrapped his arms around my waist, the pressure firm and reassuring, pulling me flush against him. His breath hit my ear, then his hands slowly slid down to my sensitive area.

"Ugh.. ngh?" I grasp onto his shoulder.

I heard his soft moan, then he kissed me and pinned me against the wall. Shortly enough, I was about to reach my limit, and I held his left arm, pushing it away.

"No, no, no, ugh.. You're about to reach your limit." Then he moved his hand even faster. "Fvck!.. ah.. so tight.."

"Ugh.. ugh.. ugh.. ugh.." Then, fluid came out.
