Weddings. Vanya Nadine Joson dreaded weddings. Within her circle of friends, she was the only one remaining single and unmarried. Single, for as long as she could remember. She was slowly accepting the fact that she'll grow old alone, and she was al...
VANYA Sure. I'll be the one in white na may pearl or flower tiara. Whichever works.
KAHN Sige. Pero magpapayaman pa ako, ha? May pera naman ako ngayon pero gusto ko kasi na lagpas siya sa boundary para kung sakali, secured din tayo bago kita ayain ng kasal.
Vanya smiled.
VANYA Of course. Me too.
KAHN Pero paano pala kuya mo? Bibigyan ba natin ng pamangkin?
VANYA Maybe. Soon.
KAHN Ilang pamangkin ibibigay natin?
VANYA I want two kids.
KAHN Babae saka lalaki? O parehong babae?
VANYA I don't really mind their gender. Basta healthy babies sila, I'm fine with anything.
KAHN May marrying age ka ba na gustong sundin?
VANYA Wala naman. But, may pregnancy age ako.
KAHN Bakit?
VANYA Mahirap manganak kapag nasa boundary na kasi saka delikado na rin both for the baby and sa mommy. Kaya gusto ko sana hangga't nasa calendar pa 'yong age ko, then we can try.

VANYA P'wede i-extend until 33 pero hanggang do'n lang.
Kahn nodded.
KAHN Okay. Hindi pa ngayon pero 33 years old ang limit mo?
VANYA Yup.
KAHN 'Di bale. May ilang years pa naman tayo para isipin 'yan.
VANYA We're turning 28 next year.
KAHN Ilang taon mo gusto mag-try?
VANYA 30?
KAHN Okay.
VANYA Sure ba na okay lang sa 'yo? Mamaya you're just letting me decide again. Tapos may iba ka rin palang naiisip.
KAHN Wala naman. Okay lang din talaga sa akin kasi ikaw naman magbubuntis. Unless gusto mo ng ibang option?
VANYA Ibang option?
KAHN Oo. Surrogacy o kaya adoption.
VANYA Oh . . . okay. If ever hirap ako magbuntis, then we can revisit those idea again.
KAHN Sige.
