SCENE 1: RESTAURANT

RYLEE: Kamusta Ateneo Nie?

NIE: Eto, nakaka-adjust naman kahit papaano. Super hirap pala. Anyways, my blockmates are nice
naman. And I already made so many friends, so I'm okay I guess.
ELITH: FEU, musta Airose?
AIROSE: FEU pa rin hahaha char. Okay naman, though palagi akong may nakakaaway, aba sa hindi
ko maatim ang mga ugali nila eh. Lagi na lang may say sa akin. Daig pa nga yata ang surveillance
camera juskoo.
RYLEE: Hayaan mo na sila, Ai. Hindi ka pa lang nila ganon kakilala kaya don't mind them na lang.
NIE: By the way, tuloy na kayong tatlo sa UST right?
GELA: YESS!!
RYLEE: Aba'y oo naman. Sana may pogi no? Gugwapo ng mga Thomasian! Type ko talaga 'yong
mga iyonn!
AIROSE: Suskoo, ika'y magtigil. Gayahin mo ako, shy-type hihihi. Huwag kang màgfirst-move ah,
saka na kapag nag-fm sya, sumalida ka na. Aba! Grab the chance na baby girl!. At ano, ganto-- (*/
tatakpan ni Nie-Nie ang bibig)
NIE: Lukaret ka talaga, tuturuan mo pa ang bata.

(Magnanarrate...)

SCENE 2: HOME

(After ng celebration, Nie-Nie go to their mansion upon receiving a text from her parents)

NIE: Here we go again.. (sighing) (fake smile) (papasok sa dining area)

NIE: Mom..(taking her seat)
NIE: Hi, Lixa! (genuinely smiling)
NIE: Dad's not here Mom? Anyways, you texted me that you want to talk about something, what is it
Mom?
RINA: Remember, when I told you that you're going to marry the son of my best friend? The eldest
son of Salvador?

(Nie pursed her lips, pilit iniiwasan ang sinabi ng Mom, but still nodded her head)

RINA: He's graduating already from UP Manila, Nie.

NIE: And?
RINA: Maybe it's already time for you to meet. Nasa tamang edad ka na rin naman. And we're
attending his graduation party, kaya ilaan mo ang oras sa araw na iyon. Are we clear?
(Nie remained silent and finished her food na lang)

SCENE 3: DEEP BUT FUNNY TALK

(Nie go to her bedroom, calling Elith (her best friend), but hesitating to do it 'cause she didn't want to
add up to her problems. Instead, she called AiRose.

AIROSE: Yo, wazzup man! Woman pala HAHAHA!

NIE: I'm getting engaged.
AIROSE: Ha? Hawott. Anong nainom mo? May hang-over ka ba?
NIE: I'm getting engaged.... To someone na hindi ko kilala, Ai. Natatakot ako. Do not tell anyone about
this.
AIROSE: Hindi pala ito joke. Wait, okay ka lang ba?
NIE: I have no choice, Ai. I already agreed kasi dito before I went to college. But, I didn't expect na
magiging real na ito. I'm scared, Ai.. What if--
AIROSE: What if pangit sya? Halaa ka, sayang ang beauty mo.... Isipin mo yon Mars. Ikakasal ka
tapos pangit pala sya, masama ugali, laging nakabusangot. Hindi marunong maglinis, mabaho ang
paa. Oh my gosh, Marss!! Nasa delubyo ka huhuhu
NIE: Ang OA mo talaga. Nagkamali yata ako ng natawagan. Hindi ko concern ang mga iyan, kanina.
Pero ngayon, I'm starting to think about those things.
AIROSE: Ganito na lang, tingnan mo muna kung bet mo iyan tapos kung hindi, sabihin mo sa parents
mo na may boyfriend ka na at buntis ka, oh diba? Kapag tinanong kung sino, sabihin mo si Juan
taga-kabilang kanto.
NIE: WOWW! Thank you for that wonderful plan of yours... Well, that still made me laugh. Happy pill
ka talagang bruha ka.

SCENE 4: MEETING THE SALVADOR FAMILY

(Nie-nie and her mom went to the graduation party of the eldest son of Salvador.)

RINA: Nie, fix yourself before we enter this place. Don't disappoint me. Let's go.

(Papasok sa loob kunwari ng event)

YENIE: Rinaa, long time no see! (Bebeso)

YENIE: Is this Nie-Nie na ba? Hi, iha. I'm Yenie Villafuerte , your future mother-in-law.
NIE: Hello po, nice to meet you po Madam.
YENIE: Oh come on dear! Drop the formality na. Just call me Mom... Oh, btw, have a seat first.
YENIE: Hey, son. Villafuerte's here na. Come, introduce yourself to them.
CALYX: Hi, I'm Calyx Salvador. So, maybe you are Nieza Villafuerte, am I right?
NIE: Yes, I'm Nieza Villafuerte. Just call me Nie. Nice to meet you.

(Kakain, magkukwentuhan)

CALYX: Ehemm! Mom, Tita, would you excuse us for a while, please?
RINA: Oh, sure iho. No problem. Go with him, Nie.

(Tatayo, maglalakad, pupunta sa gilid)

CALYX: We can't marry each other.

NIE: As if I also want this arranged marriage thingy.
CALYX: You can't marry me, I don't love you and you're not my type.
NIE: Wow, as in wow. Mukha bang gusto ko ring makasal sa isang tulad mo?
CALYX: Ano ba kasing naisip mo at pumayag ka!
NIE: You don't know my struggles!
CALYX: And you know mine?
CALYX: Ganito, let's just pretend that we're on good terms. Let's pretend that we really like each
other until someone makes a mistake. Let's say you cheated on me.
NIE. Kapal talaga, ako pa talaga ang magchicheat? Hoy, baka ikaw pa ang magcheat sa'ten.
CALYX: Enough with this! Just do what I said.
NIE: Hoy, sa tingin mo ba ganon--
CALYX: Tara na sa loob.

SCENE 5: BACK TO NORMAL DAYS

(Narration)

RYLEE: Oh Nie, ok ka lang? Mahirap ba ang ginagawa mo? Need help?

NIE: Okay lang ako, inaantok lang.
AIROSE: Huhuhu, nasan na kasi yung x. Pakundangan nga lang sa pera ay hindi ko ito gagawen eh.
ELITH: Ano naman 'yan, Ai? Bakit may math? 3rd year na may math pa rin kayo?
AIROSE: Sa pinsan ko ito, may suhol kasi kaya ginrab ko na. Kaso, napasobra ata yabang ko
bessyyy. Hindi ko mahanap yung simula pa lang. Nasan na ba kasi ang X na ito. Help mee nga!
ELITH: Busy si Engr. Bella natin, tara hanapin natin si X.
GELA: Seryoso natin Bella ah. Sabagay, Finals na pala natin, madaming gawain. Pero, pahinga ka
naman dyan Bella. Baka maubos brain cells mo.
BELLA: Sa halip na ika'y dumada diyan, ako'y tulungan mo na laang.
GELA: Hard pass, kita mo 'to. Dami no? Pero hindi ko pa ginagawa HAHAHA.
RYLEE: Guys, mauna na ako sa inyo ah. Mag-aasikaso pa ako sa bahay at hindi makakilos ng ayos
ang inay gawa ng may sakit. See you when I see you! Bye. Ingat kayoo!
(Magbabye everyone)
SCENE 6: HANG-OUT

(Narrate) (Nie will confess about her engagement to his friends while they're having a picnic)

RYLEE: Oh pakk! May picture na tayo ng picnic natin sa wakas!
NIE: Guys.. I have something to tell. But, please don't get mad at me.
(Magtatanguhan)
NIE: I'm engaged.
(Magsisinghapan sa nalaman, different reactions)
NIE: Sorry for hiding it from you guys. Sorry kasi kay Ai ko lang sinabi. I'm scared really. I can't handle
the emotion I'm feeling that day kaya siguro nailabas ko rin kay Ai. Sorry talaga guys!
RYLEE: Nakakainiss ka naman, Nie. Friends naman tayo diba? Bakit mo sinarili ang mabigat na
sitwasyong iyan. Okay ka lang ba?
ELITH: Na-meet mo na ba si boy?
(Tatango si Nie)
BELLA: Arranged marriage?
NIE: Yes. After I went college, my parents want me to take Pol-Sci, you know naman na they are into
politics. But, I don't like it. So, in exchange of my freedom to take my program, I agreed to that deal.
Pero, I can't believe na totohanin pala nila 'yon. I though it was just a blackmail.
GELA: Nandyan ka na just live with the present. Malay mo naman mag-work diba?
ELITH: Oo Nie, love comes after marriage ba.
AIROSE: Nie-Nie, ito na siguro yung time para i-explore mo ang world of love. And nasa good hands
ka naman kaya no worry na. Salvador na 'yon bessyy!! (Sabay hampas)
GELA: Panira ka talaga! (hampas kay Airose)

SCENE 7: HOMEYY
(Narrate)
(Papasok si Nie sa mansion)
(Nagkukwentuhan ang barkada ng step-sister nya)

NIE: Hi, Lixa. Kumain na kayo?

LIXA: Hi, Ateee! Yes, kumain na po kami. Friends ko nga po pala. Cherry, Mheera, meet my Ate Nie.
CHERRY: Hello po, Ate Nie. Nice to meet you po.
MHEERA: Nice to meet you po.
LIXA: Excuse us for a while guys.
(Kakausapin ni Lixa si Nie)

LIXA: Ate nagpunta pala dito si Kuya Calyx, hanap ka po eh sabi ko po ay lumabas po kayo ng
friends nyo.
NIE: He went here? Why?
LIXA: Hindi ko rin po alam, Ate. May bitbit po kanina, nasa kwarto mo po pinapasok ko kay Yaya.
NIE: Oh, okay. Come back to your friends. I'll go upstairs na.

(While going upstairs, makakasalubong si Rina, her Mom)

RINA: Nie...
NIE: Mom...
RINA: Are you okay these past few weeks?
NIE: Hey, Mom (magmamano). To be honest, I'm not po.
RINA: Yeah I know baby. But, is it too late for Mom to say sorry for taking your freedom away? Alam
ko masyado na akong naging strict sayo, but still, my love for my baby is still there (ituturo ang puso).
I know galit ka samin ng dad mo for putting you in this situation. But, Nie, trust me, you're in a good
hands. Mababait ang mga Salvador and best friend namin ng Dad mo ang mag-asawang Salvador.
And, for sure magciclick kayo ni Calyx. I can see it anak. You know, mother knows best!
NIE: Mom, hindi po ako galit. Tampo lang po. And nag-agree na rin po ako kaya may fault din po ako.
RINA: Just trust me, Nie. Everything will be alright. And nga pala, nagpunta si Calyx dito, ikaw haaa!
Nabibihag mo na yata ng tunay ang puso ng batang iyon.
NIE: Mom! Ang suplado kaya ng lalaking iyon.
RINA: Suss, tiklop naman sayo HAHAHAHA. Ituloy mo na ang pagpunta mo sa kwarto mo, at nandon
nilagay ng kapatid mo ang dala ni Calyx. Maligo ka na rin muna bago matulog para fresh bukas,
malay mo bumalik ulit si Calyx HAHAHAHA
NIE: Mommm!!
