Chapter One: Perfect For You
"I'd love it if my wife stayed at the house. Mag-aalaga ng mga anak na'min, tsaka 'di maganda kung magtatrabaho siya... abandoning her kids, right?"
Okay.
"And I'd love it if my husband stops making stupid decisions for me... well, only kung ikaw ang asawa ko siguro."
'Di ko maintindihan ang mga lalaki sa mundong 'to minsan.
"I'm okay with seeing other women kahit na kasal ta'yo, kung okay ka... since this is only a business marriage, right?"
I don't hate men, I don't hate ALL men... konti lang, yung mga tipong tulad ni'to.
"What's the point of marrying someone when you don't remain loyal? Expect to be annulled if you're not loyal."
Of course, a business marriage is still marriage to me, I will forever be loyal to that man kahit na 'di man na'min minahal ang isa't-isa.
"You can't tell me what to do, kahit na asawa kita at may—"
Being married is also a partnership, so bakit ka pa maghahanap ng iba?
I can't... I can't take this man anymore.
He's a piece of shit!
"And you can't tell me what to do either. You don't get to tell me what to do. I believe I'm done here, and... I don't want to see you again."
Nababaliw na 'ko.
Nababaliw na talaga ako sa mga lalaking pinagbiblindate sa'kin ni Cerine, hindi niya ba gets na ang papangit ng mga pinili niya at kung makapagsalita sa'kin 'kala nila sila yung hari ng mundo?
"Teka lang!"
The fuck?
Mananabunot na 'ko sa puntong 'to, 'di lang buhok ang bubunutin ko, kakaladkarin ko sila sa labas, jusko.
Asan na yung mga lalaki na mababait? Na may respeto sa mga babae? Asan yung mga tipong lalaki na gano'n dito sa industriya na 'to? Sa mundo ko?
All of the men I've met in this blind date are assholes and they think they are alphas when they are just idiots.
"Are you sure it's not because you are looking for a Wade Rivas type of guy?"
Tinapon ko yong mga dokyumento na puno ng mga lalaking nirekomenda ni Cerine at nila Silas at Evan, putangina wala yata silang alam kung ano yung tipo kong lalaki.
"No, Gwen. Binaba ko na nga standards ko, wala naman talaga akong standards sa simula pa lang, like hello? I just need someone who would help expand our family business internationally."
"Well all of them are owners of a couple of businesses here, and they also invested in brands internationally."
Pero ang pangit eh.
Ang panget!
Shet!
"My gosh, Odelette. Ang arte mo, tatlo pa lang ang nakilala mo."
"Three times, Cerine. Tatlo! Three times mean something! Ugh! They're bad... fuck."
Pwede bang Wade Rivas na lang?
Ba't 'di siya totoo?
Why is he not real?
"Karine, at this point you won't be able to find the perfect husband for you if you keep doing this." she explained.
