Amber; The Hopeless Romantic

Chapter 1

As a child, we tend to imagine life to be perfect growing up. A stable job, a house, probably a car, and a complete home. And that being said, that means you are most likely married. Time flies really fast that we also tend to forget that we age. Thats just how Ambers life is.

At 28, shes a total hopeless-romantic. Hoping to find true love sa mga dating apps and all the other platforms she may be able to. Marami nang nai-date pero it all ends the same. She doesnt lose hope. She enjoys meeting new people until she realizes it kinda becomes like a routine.

Nakahiga lang sah sa kama at nagso-scroll sa phone when she bumped to a certain Nico Lopez profile. Matipuno, moreno, chinito at mukhang stable naman. Kinilig ang bida natin nang mag match ang dalawa sa dating app na ito. She was so excited that she even get up right ahead, take a shower and have her coffee sa favorite niyang coffee shop few blcks away from her place.

Nagkaka-mabutihan ang dalawa for almost 3 weeks of chatting. They finally decided to go on a date. Sobrang saya ani Amber that she started shopping for everything shell need on that special day. At siempre, to most bidas meron talaga tayong undying, ever supportive BFF.

Si Maggie. 30. Has a stable job, a husband and so adorable 5-year-old little girl. She always has had Ambers back since the day they become friends. Acted like an older sister to her.

Masayang sagot ni Maggie. ano ka ba? I think hes the one. Sobrang dami naming similarities. And guess what, hes a fan of Paulo Coehlo too! masayang sagot ni Amber sa kaibigan. hahaha bookish din si Sir? Different nga ha. Oh wel. What do you need from me? Tanong ni Maggie. Well, I need an awesome outfit para sa date namin bukas. Andito ako sa Fab shoppe ngayon and parang hindi na kasya sakin yung Dress na Nakita natin last time. Na alala mo?Worried na sagot ni Amber. Hay ano ka ba. Marami namang iba dyan. Wait. Give me 10 mins, punta ako dyan. sagot ni Maggie. Yaaaas! Youre the best! See yah! excited na sagot ni Amber at saka pinatay ang phone.

Masayang nag fit ng mga damit sina Amber at Maggie sa shoppe at when they finally picked the perfect one, they head on sa favorite restaurant nila.
