Mart: "Hello?"

Paolo: "She didn't talk to me."

Mart: "Oh, no."

Paolo: "I don't know what to do anymore."

Mart: "No, just don't give up yet. Hang on, let me patch in Audre."

Audre hears her phone rings; takes the call.

Audre: "Hello?"

Mart: "Hi."

Audre: "Hey, you." (cheerful voice)

Mart: "I just have Paolo on the phone, right now. Let's have call conference, is that okay?"

Audre: "Yeah, sure."

Audre: "Hello, guys?"

Paolo: "Auds, ayaw akong kausapin ni Ayin."

Audre: "No."

Paolo: "What will I do now?"

Audre: "Nandyan ka pa ba sa bahay nila?"

Paolo: "Yes, nasa labas lang ako, sa kotse ko."

Audre: "Ahm, I will try to call Ayin, okay? I will see what I can do. Just stay there, okay?"

Paolo: "Thanks, Audre. It means a lot to me."

Audre: "Okay, I will hang up na sainyo guys, ha. Kapag nagkausap kami ni Ayin, I will call you. Mart, ikaw na muna bahala sa pinsan mo."

Mart: "Yep, salamat Audre."

Audre hangs up.

Mart: "Bro, okay ka lang ah? Nagdinner ka na ba?"

Paolo: "Hindi pa, bro. Wala ako gana. Gusto ko lang makausap sya."

Mart: "Just hang on; I believe na kakausapin ka rin nya."

Paolo: "Thanks, bro. Sana nga. Hirap na ako."

Mart: "Huwag kang susuko, magiging maayos din ang lahat. May mga plano tayo, remember?"

Paolo: "Oo nga eh. Sana matupad yun."

Mart: "Oo naman, it will, bro."

Paolo: "Thanks talaga, I will just wait here na lang. Talk to you later."

Mart: "Okay, later. Ingat, bro. see yah later."

Ayin: "Hello?"

Audre: "Besy. . . Kumusta ka na?"

Ayin: "Besy (cries) I don't know what to do anymore."

Audre: "Please talk to Paolo. Please. Hear him out. Please trust me on this."

Ayin: "Alright, besy. I would trust you with this."

After awhile, Ayin went out of their house. She walks toward Paolo's car, opens the passenger door and went inside. Paolo was able to explain to Ayin about what happened. Ayin is reluctant, but considers not breaking up with Paolo totally. She said that she can't promise any, but she will think things through. That is enough reason for Paolo not to give up. He hugs her. She is still cold at him; she did not hug him back.

Two days after that, Paolo carried out his plan. Audre and Mart help prepared for it. Uncle records a message for Ayin.

Audre calls Ayin and requests her go to Audre's pad.

Mart cooks for dinner. Paolo bought an engagement ring for Ayin. This will be the night that he will propose to her.

As Ayin walks in to Audre's pad, she was shocked to see the preparations of the three. Paolo walks toward her, holds her hands and confesses his heart-felt message for Ayin. Ayin feels her tears on her cheeks as Paolo continue expressing his intentions. Uncle's video message was played. Ayin's reaction went from being shocked to unexpectedly surprise. She continues to cry. Paolo is still in front of her, and he popped the question, "Will you marry me?"

"Yes. I will marry you."

Paolo starts to cry for finally, their relationship was restored. He hugs Ayin, kisses her and hugs her again.

"I love you."

"I love you."

Audre: "Finally." (lets a tear fall and wipes it, looks at Mart)

Mart: "Yes, it finally happened." (smiles at Audre)

Audre suddenly felt wanting to hug Mart; she let herself. And Mart, surprised with it, but is certainly happy, accepts the embrace of the girl.

Audre: "Let's go."

Mart: "Where?"

Audre: "I will show you."
