Getting Over You

Chapter I

Alam mo, sa ginagawa mong pagburo sa sarili mo, you miss one-third of your life!

Naman! Bakit naman one-third? Para wala lang akong lalaki, one-third na agad? natatawa lang na sabi ni Griff habang nagre-retouch ng make-up.

Talaga naman eh! Talagang malaking factor sa buhay nating mga babae ang lovelife. Iyon bang pagkatapos ng maghapon nating pagtatrabaho ay uuwi tayo sa bahay at may sasalubong sa ating mahal sa buhay na magbibigay sa atin ng tight hug and hot kiss. Ibang klaseng pakiramdam iyon, sis! pangungulit ni Susie. Of course, I know the feeling. Alam mo bang kahit na gaano ako ka-stress ang maghapon ko dito sa office, pag-uwi ko ng bahay at sasalubungin ako ni Jericho ng hug at kiss, I feel recharge!

Ang OA mo! Kung hindi ko pa alam na away-bati kayo, lalo ka na!

Neng, kahit na away-bati kami ni Jericho, masaya pa rin ako. Ganoon talaga ang isang relasyon, hindi perfect. What's important, at the end of the day, magkayakap pa rin kaming matutulog sa bed. And he will become my comfort zone.

And then, the next day, away na naman?

Well, ganoon na talaga.

No, ayoko ng ganoon talaga. I want it to be perfect. Kung hindi perfect relationship ang magiging relasyon ko, huwag na lang!

Ang sabihin mo, ayaw mo talagang magbigay ng commitment. Takot ka sa commitment.

Isa pa iyan! Hindi ako naniniwala na kailangan kong magbigay ng commitment sa isang lalaki para lang maging masaya ang buhay ko. Hindi ako paparis sa nanay ko na utus-utusan ng tatay ko. Na kapag hindi sya agad nakasunod sa utos nito ay may batok, o sampal, and worst, may tadyak pa. Hayun, namatay sa kunsumisyon at sama ng loob ang nanay ko dahil sa pagiging devoted wife. Akala kasi nya, ganun lang talaga ang role ng isang babae. Kapag nagpakasal na, buong buhay na nya ang ide-devote sa kanyang asawa.

Hay, kahit na anong klaseng trauma ang pinagdaanan mo, hindi dapat na ganyan ang katwiran mo. Hindi naman pare-pareho ang mga lalaki, a. Why not you try kahit minsan lang. I'll set a blind date for you. Isang perfect guy na papasa sa taste mo.

I hate man. I don't want to be a cook or caregiver of a man who will act like a king on my life! I graduated to have a job, be successful, buy and do whatever I want. I hate man who will distract my plans.

Hello? My aim in setting you a blind date is for you to feel man's company, and not to enter in a relationship that easy with him.

Ewan! Kung anu-anong pinagsasabi mo!

A, basta, ihahanap kita ng ka-blind date, ha?

Ewan!

Ano? Huwag mo akong ipapahiya, ha? Huwag mo syang iindyanin, ha?

Susie-

Just say yes!

Ano ka ba?

Please?

Oo na! she agreed to make Susie stop from talking.

Yes! Don't worry, I'll find good man for you! You'll never regret it!

Ewan!

Bro, sure ka dyan sa iba-blind date mo sa akin, ha? Game ba iyan?

Bro naman, what kind of game do you mean? Jericho ask. Game sa kwentuhan o game on bed? If you mean game on bed, sorry to disappoint you, she's not like that. Susie told me she just want a blind date for her friend because she's afraid that her friend might be an old-maid.

Hey - hey! If your girlfriend doesn't want her friend to become old-maid, I'm not the right man to introduce to her. You know how much I hate commitments, I'm not a marriage material. Kaya wala ring mapapala sa akin ang friend ni Susie! laughing Jace said.

I know! I just want to please my girl and somehow to make her friend happy. She just want Griff's eyes to be open on other things that will make her happy aside from being successful and to become rich.

Ganun?

Oo, ganun! Susie just want broke the innocence of Griff.

Did you met that girl?

Oo naman!

So, how does she look?

Bro, its not exag, but she's a real hot babe!

Ows? Jace said, his weakness.

Yes! She's pretty, and sexy too! She looks like an international model than a marketing director of a well-known marketing firm!

Hindi ka exag nyan, ha?

Oo nga!

Then, bakit walang boyfriend?

Kasi nga she hates having a boyfriend! Actually according to Susie basted na agad ang mga guys na nagpaparamdam pa lang. And the guys are intimidated on her because of her position on the company she works with.
