'Yong feeling na ipinagkasundo ka na palang ipakasal sa taong kinamumuhian mo. Sa isang taong makita mo pa lang ang mukha umiinit na ang ulo mo. 'Yong taong hindi mo makasundo. Ni sa hinagap 'di mo man lang pinangarap na makasama habambuhay. Lust or love at first sight? 'Yong feeling na makakita ka ng isang Adonis na nakatapis lamang ng tuwalya sa ibabang parte ng katawan nito. Sa 'di mo inaasahan na lugar at pagkakataon. 'Yong tipong tumakas ka sa kanilang lahat pero napadpad ka naman sa isang lugar na mas ikakapahamak mo. Magpapadilim ng kapalaran mo. Lugar kung saan naisuko mo ang pinakaiingatan mo. Sa lalaking 'di mo lubos kilala ang pagkatao at ayaw mo. Sa isang lalaking hinusgahan kaagad ang pagkatao mo. Ano ang gagawin mo kung sa paglipas ng mga araw na nakakasama mo s'ya sa iisang bubong ay unti-unting nahuhulog ang loob mo sa kanya? At pa'no kung kailan hulog na hulog ka na. Ibinigay mo na ang lahat na meron ka sa kanya. Wala ka nang tinira pa para sa sarili mo. Saka naman isa-isang nagsipagsulputan ang mga babae n'ya. Tatanggapin mo ba ang pagsusumamo n'ya sa'yo? Mga pangakong magbabago s'ya para sayo? Maniniwala ka bang magbabago ang isang certified playboy dahil sayo? Ano ang gagawin mo kung isang araw malalaman mong nakabuntis ng ibang babae ang lalaking mahal na mahal mo na? Ang lalaking inakala mong s'ya na ang "THE ONE" mo. Mapapatawad mo pa ba s'ya or tatakas kang muli?
