CHAPTER 3
WHEN Clark and Carmina meet again when they finish their lunch at the Okada hotel, they go straight to a room there.
After their passionate moment is done, Clark stood up. “Dress up,” he said.
“Huh why?”
“Do it.”
“Why, tell me?”
“We’re going somewhere.”
“Where?”
Don’t ask, just do what I said, Carmina.
“Go, I’m not going.”
“You really don’t want to come with me?”
“Tell me first where we are going.”
“Okay, if you don’t want to, I’ll find someone else to be with me.” Clark answered differently.
“A woman?”
“Yes.”
“I came with you.” She quickly stood up and dressed in front of him. Well, she won’t allow Clark to be with another woman. She only wants him with her.
Clark is used to the fact that every woman he has with him does not feel shy. They are walking naked in front of him.
Clark entered the bathroom to take a shower first. While Carmina do her makeup.
“TAMARA, double your actions now, there are so many people this afternoon because the weather is good! No sun!” her aunt shouted at her.
What else am I doing? I used to be a superwoman, but now I am more like Lastikman, or I’m a version of Lastikgirl. Tamara wanted to answer her auntie. If she helps her sell it, it’s better. Now what she is doing here and there is giving here and there too, and she takes down the clothes left and right. My gosh, so tiring. “Why doesn’t she want to get someone to help her? I know why, because she’s stingy. “She mumbled.
Tamara’s aunt frowned as she looked at her. “Oh, what kind of oration are you doing again, Tamara?” she commented. Is it Abracadabra, huh? Or a witch’s whisper? ”
Oh, if only she could have become a witch, she would have done it to make herself lose her grumpy attitude. “No, Aunty.”
“I don’t know about you, Tamara. “Quick, move fast.”
This aunt of hers, she didn’t speak correctly, what she was doing now, her body was moving left and right, what speed she wanted her to do like a running horse. She just sighed.
While Clark and Carmina was in the car.
“Clark, where are we going?” Carmina inquired; she had been questioning him because he didn’t answer her.
“You will know if we are there already.” Please stop asking me! ” There was irritation in his voice. “Just wait, we are nearer already.”
She suddenly stopped talking when Clark’s tone of voice was like that. She knew he was getting irritated.
After one hour of driving, they arrived at their destination. After Clark parked his car,
“What are we doing here, Clark?”
“You know this place, Carmina?”
“Everybody knows this place, Clark.”
“What’s going on here?” he asked her.
“Well, there are many, but mostly this place is for couples who want to have children and are not blessed with children during their long marriage.”
Clark will nod; she knows this too. “So, what do you think that we are doing here?”
“Clark, don’t tell me you’re going to dance.”
“We are, Carmina. Don’t you want?”
“What? Are you kidding me?”
“Why not, right?”
“Clark, I don’t have any differences. I believe you are too.”
“Yeah.”
“So, why did we come here?”
“I want to have a child!”
“You want to have children this way, Clark. You are so ridiculous. You can make it by yourself, and you believe this?”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“Why are you talking so much? Do you want to join me or don’t you want to tell me? ” He got even more irritated. “Stay here if you don’t want to.”
“Fine, I will go with you, but I will tell you this, Clark.”
“What?”
“They say that the only thing that will bless those who dance here is that they have faith. If you do not, nothing happens. If you just want to try it, please don’t do it. ”
Clark stared hard at her. She was right, even if he doesn’t believe it. But his uncle said to try it; there’s nothing to lose. So, this is what he will do now.
“Okay, but I have something to ask you, Carmina.”
“What’s this?”
“Are you using pills to prevent you from getting pregnant? We’ve been in bed together for years. Why aren’t you getting pregnant, Carmina?”
“No, I don’t use anything, even me. I want to get pregnant from you so I can hold onto you, Clark.”
“Then the question is why are you not getting pregnant?”
“I don’t, Clark.” Yeah, why can’t she get pregnant? She knows that she doesn’t have deference because she got pregnant once by her ex-boyfriend, but he miscarried. That’s why they broke up.
“Let’s go.”
“Let’s go home?”
“No, we’re going down to do what we came here for.”
“You’re the only one who likes it, not me, Clark.”
“Then, stay here, or you can go home now!” He came down.
Carmina immediately followed Clark.
“AH, miss, can you wear it?” said the woman buying it from Tamara.
“Huh?”
“For me to see, I think because we are the same body measure.”
“Tamara, just do it and wear it,” her aunt ordered.
“But, aunty.”
“She’s a customer, Tamara,” she said.
Tamara could do nothing but obey her aunt.
After wearing the clothes, she walked around in front of the women who were buying them.
“Okay, I’ll get it because it’s fit for you.”
Her aunt smiled at her.
They rent and sell the clothes for dancing. It was Filipiniana and Barong Tagalog. They rented them because they were worn only once. While other customers buy them for remembrance.
Tamara took the dress from their stock. After giving it to the woman who bought it and already left, She was about to change. ” Tamara, be like that, don’t change,” her aunt said.
“Huh? Why, aunty? ”
“It’s good to see you wearing that. Model it first.” She was smiling.
“Aunty,” she protests.
But her aunty just widened her eyes at her.
When Clark arrived inside, they first went straight to the clothes. They looked around the shops.
“Sir, Ma’am, you’re going to dance? “Here’s what you’re going to use,” the seller offered to them.
“No!” Carmina replied.
They walked around until they reached the place where there were a lot of couples already dancing.
“Clark, that’s what we’ll do, if we dance. So, ashamed. What if someone recognizes me, especially the paparazzi? My gosh, what will they say to me?”
Clark didn’t pay attention to her because his attention was on the people’s dancing.
“Clark, are you listening to me?”
“Let’s get changed.”
“My goodness, Clark. This is crazy, you know.”
Clark felt excitement as he looked at the couple already dancing. He thought it was fun. Everyone who is dancing has a smile on their face. You can see their determination to be blessed with a child.
“Let’s dance,” he said.
Carmina was secretly cursed. She thinks that she can’t do what Clark wants.
Clark walked to buy something for them to wear.
Tamara’s aunt was stunned by the man who came to their shop.
Tamara had a customer, so she didn’t see the new customer.
“Give me this for me and for her,” Clark said.
Tamara’s aunt didn’t move; she just looked at their customer. Well, I guess she was overwhelmed by the handsomeness of the man in front of her.
Carmina was irritated. Well, who wouldn’t be mesmerized by Clark even if she was the same when she first saw him?
“Excuse me, I said give it to me.” Clark even raised the clothes he was holding.
This is where Tamara’s aunt comes to her senses. “Oh, sorry sir. Are you going to rent it or just buy it? The clothes that are already worn are just for rent. The new is for sale. ”
“So disgusting!” Carmina replies.
Emily wanted to give a grumpy attitude to the woman. But she was a customer, so she hesitated to do it.
“Who cares?” She turned to her companion. “Clark, honey. We don’t need to do this. Let’s go home. ”
Clark’s thick eyebrows were bumping and he looked at Carmina. He took the clothes. “Where can I change, ma’am?” he said.
“Sir, we have a fitting room over there.” she said.
“Good.” He took the Barong Tagalog and headed to the fitting room.
Carmina was fuming with annoyance. “My gosh, this is nonsense!” she said.
Emily raised her eyebrows when she heard the woman. She thinks that the two are not married because the man is not sweet. Those who are married to them are happy, and they really have the determination to have children. But this woman in front does not look like she wants to have children. But she admits she’s beautiful and sexy.
When Clark finished getting dressed, he took Carmina’s dress. “Change your clothes.” Clark give to her.
Carmina looked at the dress. She honestly didn’t want to touch it. It’s disgusting.
“Carmina, what are you doing? Take it and change. ”
So that Clark couldn’t say anything, she took it and headed to the fitting room.
Clark faced the people already dancing and smiled.
Inside the fitting room Oh shit, I don’t need to do this. “NO!” Carmina protested to herself as she looked at the dress to wear. She knew what it was. “My gosh, I can’t do this.” She didn’t want to wear the clothes because someone else had already used them.
Tamara approached her aunt to give the money for what she had sold.
Clark thought Carmina was Tamara.
Clark suddenly grabbed the woman’s hand. He knows Carmina still has a lot of tricks. Maybe she will protest again when he tells her to follow him.
Tamara was shocked, and she and her aunt looked at each other. She couldn’t move because it seemed like she was struck by lightning when the man held her hand.
Even though Emily was surprised, she immediately came to her senses and thought that maybe the man thought that the one he took her hand was the woman who was with him.
Clark didn’t even glance at the woman holding his hand. “Let’s go!” Clark pulled what he thought was Carmina towards the dancing place.
