Ayin: "What's with you and Mart ha? Yiii." (teases and smiles)

Audre: "Oy, besy, wala noh. Baliw ka. Didn't Paolo tell you? They like me to bridge Mart to Shane."

Ayin: "Oohh, yun ba? Iba kasi ang vibes ko. My vibe says, bagay kayo. Don't you feel any? He's handsome and hot!" (smiles widely and annoyingly teases)

Audre: "Ahahah! No besy. Anu ka ba. No."

Ayin: "Besy, gusto ko na kasi na magka-boyfriend ka ulit. Alam mo yun, I would be happy seeing you happy in-love. (dreams) Para kapag sa date, hindi ka na third wheel."

Audre: "Teka, ayaw mo na ako kasama ninyo ni Pao? Aogh. It hurt me a little." (laughs)

Ayin: "Baliw! It's not what I meant. Of course, we three would still go on dates. Never ka namin hindi kasama noh?"

Audre: "Oy bumabawi. Hehehe. Sabi mo yan ah. On the serious note, alam mo, besy, okay naman ako kahit wala akong partner."

Ayin: "Hindi okay yun. I disagree. Ayaw kong maging single ka for life."

Audre: "Eh wala namang nanliligaw sa akin currently, besy. What would I do?" (smiles)

Ayin: "Teka, what happened to Kurt?"

Audre: "Oh, that. I don't like him, he's a babaero. No."

Ayin: "Eh kay Edmund?"

Audre: "He is too conceited. He's a jerk. No."

Ayin: "Manuel?"

Audre: "Besy, hindi naman nanligaw sa akin yun. Wahaha!"

Ayin: "Aah, hahaha! Hindi ba? Sorry, so what happened to Manuel?"

Audre: "Besy, crush ko nga lang yun at may girlfriend sya, remember? Hehehe."

Ayin: "Oh. Okay. (smiles awkwardly) Sabi ko nga, hindi pala si Manuel yun. Ahhm, alam ko na! Si William?"

Audre: "Hmm, well, he is nice pero wala kasi kaming spark, besy. Kaya hindi ko na din sya pinagpatuloy sa panliligaw nya."

Ayin: "Besy, wala na akong maisip; kung may nakalimutan ba akong banggitin na lalaki, or wala na. Pero this only shows na madaming lalaki ang attracted sa'yo."

Audre: "Haha. Eh Besy, wala eh."

Ayin: "Besy, don't tell me. ."

Audre: "No. I'm already over him. I have moved on na. Promise. Believe me."

Ayin: (smiles) "I believe you Besy. I do." (hugs Audre)

Two girls are interrupted by Paolo and Mart.

Paolo: "Bakit lagi na lang kayong dalawa nagyayakap? Paano naman ako."

Audre: "She's my girlfriend, you know."

Ayin: "At mahal ko sya."

Paolo: "Nakakapagselos kayo."

Both girls laugh.

Mart: "Talo ka pala, bro kapag nagsanib sila."

Paolo: "Kaya nga masaya na ako na andito ka na, bro para naman magpantay ang mundo. Luge ako lagi sa dalawang ito eh."

All laughs.

As Audre gets better, she gets to spend time with her two best friends and one new friend – Mart.

The couple always likes to hang out with Audre in her pad. And now, what makes their bonding time happier is that Mart becomes part of their group.

Mart was the happiest one because this has been the first time he gets close to other people besides his family and he interacts with them well.

The presence of Mart is also astonishing for Audre because now, she is not a third wheel anymore to Paolo and Ayin.

To welcome Mart in the group, on one fine Saturday, all decide to be at Audre's pad for an overnight. They plan to make dinner, eat together, do videoke, play board games, watch horror film, and sleep altogether. The four enjoyed time and had fun.

Later that night, Mart couldn't sleep yet. He is overwhelmed with happiness because of the remarkable bonding time he has with his three new good friends. Sleeping beside him now is Audre. It is a first time that a girl is sleeping beside him. It amazes him. He gazes at her and looks intently at the girl who is really in deep sleep. Something is condensing inside Mart as he gazes at Audre, but he could not identify it – if it is the gratitude for their blooming friendship, or is it something else? He can't understand. He notices now how Audre is such a beauty and attractive. He seems to be looking at a divine angel.

The next day –

Mart is awakened by the sun rays. Audre is still sleeping beside him and as he opens his eyes clearly, he notices that this girl is embracing him while still asleep. Mart cannot believe it; but he cannot move for fear that Audre might wake up. He smells her breath, her hair, her skin. They are all so pleasing to him. He likes it. He is beginning to like her. He is being aroused; he can feel his manhood bulges.

Ayin: (half-whispers) "Masanay ka na dyan kay Audre na ganan yan matulog, nangyayakap" (referring to Audre's way of sleeping as Ayin rises from the bed and goes out of the room)

Mart cannot move, or think, or even focus on what to do. He feels hot, fuzzy and aroused at the same time, but he knows he cannot think further on his current feelings for he just can't understand it. This has to stop, no.

Mart slowly tries to free himself from the embrace and successfully did it. He gets up from the bed and leaves that sleeping beauty behind.
