Mr. President

DATE

LUKE

"Kailangan ko bang lumabas with her?"

"Oo."

"Bakit?"

"Kasi everyone is saying na lampa ka. Weak. Kailngan ng strong leader ngayon."

"Putangina weak na ba pag walang nakakabit na babae sa lalaki? Sabihin niyo nga sa akin, weak ba ako?"

"No but we need to show that you are not weak."

"And magde date ako kahit may gulo sa bansa?"

"Kasi ngayon ang tingin ng oposisyon kayang kaya ka nila. At we need to put a stop sa reputasyon mong babaero ka."

"Eh wala pa naman silang nakikitang babaeng kasa kasama ko unless sa mga babaeng ipinapakilala niyo sa akin na idate ko."

Sige na alam na nilang ginagawa nila kung para sa bansa ang pag uusapan. Pero kailangan ko bang mgpnggap na may gusto ako? Si Serrah, pero hindi pwede. Auoko siyang madamay sa gulo ng politika. Tsaka di kami talo nun. We both know that all we wanted is some romp under the sheets. Alam ko one day mawawala din ang crush sa akin nun, maghahanap ng mas batang lalaki at dun pakakasal. Pati smommy kung makareto ng babae prang nag aalis lang ng damit sa sampayan eh. Lahat na yata gusto ako ipakasal pati sa pamangkin ni Manang Gloria na labandera namin. Hay naku!

Nakaka pagod tong ganito wh.

"After this date if it won't work out, will you please get off my back and allow me to work?"

"There are bills that you will need to sign that needed to show the people that you know what you're doing and that includes loving."

"I love my Mom. I love my family."

"Someone who does not belong in your family. Someone like a girlfriend or a wife."

"Ptcha! Kailangan ba talaga yan? Kung ayaw sa iyo ng tao kahit gumawa ka ng kabaitan, wala pa din. Masama ka pa din."

"Not with your reputation with girls, Luke."

"Akala ko baadgisers kayo?"

"Pati personal life mo mag aadvice kami. Ano sa tingin mo ginawa nina Enrile, ni Roque? Etc? "

"Putcha!"

"If your dad can only hear you now, he'll wash that mouth, Luke."

"Sorry."

So in the end, I dated with the daughter of an ex president who is as old as I am and a successful doctor. Okay sexy, matalino and desperate. Gusto ako pakasalan. Ayoko. She knows that I am not interested but she told me that she is willing to pose as my girlfriend. Desperate talaga eh. 

After the date, I called Serrah up.

"Hello Babe."

"Oh. Hello."

"Oh bakit parang sad ka?"

"Daming work eh. Nasabon pa ako gn boss ko."
