Ako? Ako si Amanda...single at nasa late 30s na pero choosy pa rin. Tsinita, balingakinitan, bida-kontrabida ang peg. Di basta lumalabas kundi napipilit. Gusto ko kasi sure yung guy sa pakikipagkilala sa akin. Baka naman alam mo na, pwedeng maging prospect din pero....
SA LIBRARY, 19 YEARS AGO.....
“Anong plano after graduation, Tina?” tanong ni Amanda.
“Di party-party, bago maghiwa-hiwalay!” sagot ni Tina.
“Sama ako,” sabad ni Martin.
“K lang basta isasama mo ang g.f. mo” sabi ni Amanda.
“Tong si Amanda, crush ko to nung First Year tayo, e” revelation ni Martin.
Napalunok lang si Amanda. (Sayang, cute pa naman siya! Y di ko naramdaman?)
“Well, may Angie ka na po kaya sorry di na pwede. Kitakits na lang sa after party. May pupuntahan pa kami ni Amanda” pagtatanggol ni Tina.
“A, ok. ‘Lika na baka ma-late tayo” sabay sagot ni Amanda.
Nang makalabas...
“Thanks, friend. I owe you one!”
“No problem, fwend!” say ni Tina
SA WORK, LUNCH BREAK.....
“You like Thor, Ms Amanda?” si Jeffrey.
“Who doesn’t like Thor?” sagot ni Amanda.
“Is Gian, Thor?” asked Jeffrey.
“What do you mean?” asked Amanda.
“Thor, Thorpe!” he answered seriously.
“Well, if you’ll tell me who he likes I’d observe them and I shall tell you if he is the Thorpe type, ok?” depensa ni Amanda.
“Nedy kasi, look at her. Assuming, unlike you, Amanda” sabi uli ni Jeffrey.
“Yeah, I’m the assuming type,” si Nedy.
Sabay dating ni Gian...
“Eto na pala si Thor, este Gian! Speaking of the...” sabi ni Jeffrey.
“Pogi, syempre lam nyo na!” sagot ni Gian.
(Napangiwi si Amanda)
“San nga pala kayo magbabakasyon ngayong Nov.1?” tanong ni Amanda.
“Sa Laiya, Batangas, sama ka?” sabi ni Gian.
“Oo nga, sama ka na,” sabi ni Nedy.
“May bibisitahin akong kaibigan, yung nag-resign kong friend” sagot ni Amanda. (Gosh! Ang kikinis nito! Ako hindi!! Mahilig pa naman akong mag-nature trip! Sayang! Para kasi akong tomboy nung bata, sampa dito, sampa doon sa bakod at sa puno. Kaya eto, ‘burdado’)
“Sama ka na lang mamya, night out tayo!” sabi ni Jeffrey.
“Sama ka?” tanong ni Gian.
“Sorry, guys. May kikitain ako, eh!” sabay sabi ni Amanda.
“May date!” sigaw ni Nedy.
“Bye, guys. Next time na lang,” paalam ni Amanda sa lahat.
Everyone just looked at each other quietly. Kaloka! Syempre alam ni Jeffrey kung torpe si Gian. Best of friends kaya sila. Maliban na lang kung.....Weh! Di ka assuming, Amanda!
