Ano mang pagkakahalintulad ng mga karakter o sitwasyon sa kwentong ito ay hindi sinasadya. Lahat ay galing lamang sa malikot na imahinasyon ng manunulat. Also, winawarningan ko na ang mga magbabasa nito. Rated R18 po ang kwentong ito. Hindi pwedeng itone-down dahil parte ng kwento ang pagiging lustful ng mga characters. So Strict Parental Guidance po tayo. Kung less than 18 pa po kayo, please be responsible na lang. Huwag gagayahin dahil ang mga characters dito ay mature na. My intention is for us to learn from the characters' experiences while entertaining ourselves with their story. Yun lang. I really hope that I will make it worth your while as you read this. It is also interesting to note that this is the 2nd of my Reluctant Bride Series. The first one, Trust Me, is just on-hold. Sana basahin din ninyo yung Trust Me. Sa series na ito, gusto ko lang ilahad ang iba't-ibang kwento at mga dahilan bakit ang mga babae ngayon ay halos nagiging matandang dalaga muna bago tuluyang makapag-asawa. Kung gaano kasi ka prolific ang teen-age marriage ay ganoon din ka-prolific ang mga sitwasyon ng mga nagsisipag-asawa ng wala na sa kalendaryo. Oh well, sana maibigan ninyo ang kwentong ito. Kahit man lang yung mga BS. LolZ! Please don't forget to comment and vote. Salamat po. *chocoshine*
