It's been a couple of months and Mave and Aya have gotten much closer. Mave now drives Aya back and forth the office and their mansion. Aya has now started to call Mave by her first name. They now always have lunch together in the office, which hasn't gone unnoticed by their friends and family.
“What’s up with you and Aya” Cal casually asks her cousin who's currently staying in her office. “Wala naman we're just starting to get to know each other” Mave answers casually. “Walang underlying reason? Wehhh” Jules says. “Guys we don't usually talk about this, I never asked you guys ano real score niyo with Mags or Soph” Mave says defensively. “Maybe we should… yk start talking about it” Jules says. “I don't know how to talk about this..” Mave says “I'll just say it as it is, I admire Aya” she adds. “Admire lang?” Cal asks. “Maybe more than admire…” Mave says “So you have a crush on her” Jules comments. “I do… or I did” Mave says. “Paanong did?” Cal asks. “It feels more than a crush, seeing her everyday and spending so much time with her… I'm starting to love her” Mave admits to her friends. “Oh wow” Cal says “This is something new” Jules adds.
“Ate Aya maging honest ka nga samin” Shai says holding Aya's shoulders. “Huh?” Aya says at lost at what she means. “Baka naman matakot yan sayo” Mags says joking. “Curious lang kami ate… how are you feeling?” Soph says. “Ok naman life is good and I'm happy naman” Aya answers. “How about your feelings for Mave?” Mags asks. “Huh? Ikaw may crush dun ah” Aya reveals. “Dati yun iba na prince charming ko and kung para sayo lang din magpalaraya ako” Mags says joking making everyone laugh. “But let's be for real” Shai says “Do you like her?” Shai asks. “Uhmmmm” Aya says. “Nagdadalawang isip ka pa ba girl si Maverick na pinaguusapan oh” Mags says. “Mayaman, poganda, matalino, mabait, may plano sa buhay”. Soph says listing off. “Hindi naman dun eh… I doubt she thinks of me that way” Aya says her voice fainting. “Teh???” Soph, Shai and Mags say in unison.
“Dude shoot your shot” Jules says. “Actually bro… I support this” Cal says. “Aba sino ba naman hindi, ang bait na ang ganda pa tapos masipag at matalino din” Jules says. “I know I know how ideal she is… kaya nga hulog ako” Mave says daydreaming about Aya. “Earth to Mavey” Cal says “Alam mo naman pala hulog ka eh” she adds. “Make your move na” Jules nags. “I did, a bunch of times, ubos na nga moves ko eh” Mave says.
“Teh hindi mo ba pansin?” Shai says to Aya. “Ang alin?” Aya replies. “Yung the moves, yung mga parinig, yung mga pagbabago sa kanya” Soph says. “Teh kung hindi mo pa gets babawiin ko na na matalino ka” Mags says. “Huh? Hindi naman tayo pwede mag assume na may ibigsabihin mga yun” Aya says in defense.
“So moves lang?” Jules says. “Oo, ano ba dapat?” Mave asks innocently. “Aguy” Cal reacts. “Dude minsan nag tataka talaga ako kung may angas ka ba” Jules says. “Ang hirap kasi mareject… what if hindi naman pala niya ko type” Mave says. “What if iniintay ka umamin?” Cal asks in return. “I wanna be sure muna before I say something” Mave says in a serious tone.
“So pakiramdaman na lang?” Mags asks “I'm gonna wait for her to say something” Aya says feeling decided. “What if walang tapang?” Soph says. “Ode her lost” Shai says siding with her Ate Aya. Aya laughs a little “Hindi naman Hindi naman” she says. “Lets just see how things go” Aya says confidently.
