Marrisa Bonifacio
I woke up the next morning and walked to the mirror to see myself looking like a ghost. I sighed tiredly and walked back to the bed before sitting on it.
I couldn’t sleep throughout last night, I kept on thinking why Robert is doing this to me, can’t he see my effort?
Can’t he see my eyes and see the love I have for him?
Throughout last night I kept thinking about what I have to do to make him see my heart may be the one I’m doing wasn’t enough
Maybe I have to go out of my comfort zone to make him see my heart and if that is what it takes to make him notice me then I’m ready and willing to displease myself to please him and make him see how serious I am.
I was tired this morning but I wasn’t going to allow what happened yesterday affect my work, I can’t let my issues with Robert affect my Dad’s company, that would be stupidity
I stood up from the bed, since I made use of the visitor’s room I had to go back to our room and get ready for work.
I left the room and walk up to our room, I was shocked to meet everywhere scattered, the bed was rough and the sheet was almost pulled off
I sighed as Robert’s clothes from last night littered all over the room, I look at the other corner of the room to see one of Rose’s bracelets,
I walk towards it and pick it up looking at the red bracelet, what are they trying to prove by leaving this room lowered and haggard like this
Were they trying to tell me that they had sex, maybe they want to see me cry more but I won’t give Rose that, I know the two of them already left even before I woke up.
I threw the bracelet into the waste bin. I started arranging the room and keeping everything in other, but not before changing the sheat.
Minutes later, I was done tidying the room. I walked into the bathroom and took my bath. It didn’t take a while before I was done,
I was now ready for work, I didn’t have breakfast, since I don’t have an appetite for it, I decide to eat lunch instead at work,
I left for work and all through the ride, my mind was going far and wide, but throughout the whole ride I couldn’t think of a thing, I couldn’t think of a way in which I have to go an extraordinary mile to make my marriage work.
I arrived at the office and decide to do one thing which I’ve never done in my whole life, I picked up my phone and google for ways to make a man happy,
I saw many posts about that, but then one caught my attention taking my husband unawares out on a romantic dinner date.
I smile as the newfound plan registered in my head, but then… how do I test Robert, obviously he wouldn’t come if I send him a message with my number
“Then send it with an unknown number” My subconscious whispered.
Unknown.. number, number……
“Do I have…..” I made to think about it when my mind suddenly clicked about my other number which Robert did not know of since we weren’t close,
“Jackpot” I clapped happily feeling excited, obviously when he sees a number that he did not know before send him a message, surely he won’t hesitate to show up
I decided to stay in the office and get everything ready. I called someone I know that prepares that kind of surprise,
“Hello….” She answered
“This is Rissa I want to book a reservation in your hotel, I want a VIP, and I need the serene to be romantic, it’s a new couple trying to bond, the music in the background should be slow and filled with memories, the food and drink should be exotic
“Sure mam that’s what we are good at, but you will need to make a deposit”
“Sure, sure money is not the problem” I muttered
“Alright will send you the account number and the whole details asap”
“Cool thank you”
“You’re welcome”
“Nice working with you”
“You too, have a great day”
“Thanks” I muttered and hung up.
I dropped the phone and sighed in relief, I never thought it was going to be this easy.
The day passed by like a blur, minutes later it was time for me to go home, I picked up my phone and use my other number to text Robert
“Meet me at De Luna hotel, by eight room nine” I texted the message and clicked sent
I smile feeling fulfilled, it’s closing time already, I took my bag and left my office
“Sweetheart….” Dad called coming out with his guards
“My sweet Dad….” I called hugging him lovingly
“How are you feeling today?”
“Awesome and better” I winked and saw the guards smile through the corner of my eyes
“You’re going home?”
“Yes sure,” I smile,
“Alright, darling bye…..” He kissed my both cheeks,
I drove out of the company and drove to the mall, though I have different exotic clothes in my closet, tonight is special to me and I can’t let it slide without looking gorgeous
I arrived at the mall and started checking the whole clothes out. It’s already seven and here I am still trying to find something suitable for tonight’s dinner date.
“Excuse me ma…” I turned beside me to see a pretty lady looking at me with a face with filled with smile
“Hi…..” I smile
“I’m one of the workers here, and I’ve looking at you search around for a while now”
“Ohhh yes, was trying g to find the perfect gown for my dinner date tonight”
“Wow…. you mind if I help?” She asks still smiling,
“Sire why not” I smiled, pulling back and paving a way for her. I was feeling fulfilled already.
“Alright come on, I have this section that has the best of gowns, just that it’s expensive”
“I don’t mind at all”
“Alright come on….” She walk while I followed behind her,
She walk me to a section and I was mesmerized by what my eye is seeing suddenly a white long gown caught my attention
“I like that one…..” I pointed out immediately
“I told you…. ” The lady smiled at me,
“Thanks please pack that one for me”
I paid for the clothes and gave her extra cash before leaving the mall
I drove home, it’s already late. I wondered if Robert came back or not.
I entered the house and bumped into Robert in the living room
He eyed me all through and made to walk past me, he was dressing so handsome that he took my breath away
“Can you stop staring cause I’ll never be yours” His voice jolted me out of my thought
“Ehhh…. are you going somewhere…..” I stuttered,
“None of your business” He replied and left the house not sparing me a glance, I sighed not letting that spoil my mood.
I even forgot I haven’t eaten since morning and that’s because, my whole head is filled with the thought of Robert, but probably I hope tonight changes everything
I really put a lot in today, I hope my effort won’t be in vain I hold God in this for him to help me out through this I don’t know what would happen to me if this doesn’t go the way I planned
I entered the bathroom and strip off my clothes, I allowed the water to flow through my whole body,
Minutes later, I came out of the shower dripping wet. I dried my body and sat in front of the mirror to do my makeup. I want to look extraordinarily beautiful today.
Minutes later I was done with my makeup, right now I looked totally different and beautiful.
I stood up and walk towards the bed, I pick the gown and wore after which I wore my heels and took my handbag looking at myself in the mirror, I look extremely gorgeous, I hope Robert will look at me tonight and see my heart
I entered my car and drove off, I turned on cool music while I drive, I was hyping and nodding my head to the beat of the music,
I drove into the hotel and walk straight to the room,
“Wow….” I exclaimed surprisingly looking at the beauty and atmosphere of the room, the romantic meal was set at the side
I walk to a hidden part of the room and sat down waiting for Robert
One hour has gone but he’s not yet here, what if he does show up?
I became worried immediately, I was still contemplating on whether to call him when the door pulled open, and he came in looking so cute, I thought he left home wearing a suit, how come he’s now in a blue shirt and rugged jeans
“Baby…. come out and stop playing hide and seek” He spoke up, looking around the whole place with happiness
Could it be that he thought all this was Rose’s effort,
“Darling……..” Rose suddenly came out from the restroom catching me off guard
“How come what’s happening?” I thought to myself looking confused
“You like surprises, right?” She asked kissing him on the lips, my heart wreck in pain watching the both of them
I couldn’t take it anymore, I came out from my hideout
“Robert…….” I called
He saw me and was surprised,
“Baby why is she her” Robert asks her looking at me spitefully
“How did she get here, I spent so much money to make tonight special for us, Baby how did your wife get here” She cried shedding crocodile tears
“Excuse me, I did all these for my husband. I should be asking you…. how did you get here…?!!” I said looking confused
“I just hate you so much” Robert curse
“Robert please…..”
“Let’s get out of here….” He said to Rose
“Give me a second” Rose muttered and Robert nodded before leaving
She stood three paces from me, slowly she wiped off the fake tears, and put on a devilish smirk
She walk closer to me and whispered
“Till my aims are fulfilled I will use your husband and control him like my doll, remember I’m always a step ahead of you”
She pulled back and smile, before walking towards the door, she held the doorknob and turned to me
“Keep trying hard” She winked and slammed the door.
