In college they all decided to study in the same school. They choose Ateneo because its just few blocks away from Kim's new condo unit which is a gift from her parents, they will be staying at kim's place during school days, Kim and Melissa took Accountancy while Maja and Erich took management. So far so good naman ang ang kanilang college life. Kim has a few suitors but no one caught her attention yet. Melissa met Matt, Erich's relationship with enchong is going strong unlike maja and rayver. On their 1st year a transferee finally caught Kim's attention, Lance. Lance is a varsity player of their university,certified campus crush pero good boy (daw). Well after 5 months of courtship they official became together. Lance would make surprises on their monthsaries, fetch him early in the morning for school, have dinner together and dropped her at home after. Their relationship is the envy of many, and no one would think that their favorite couple will not end happily. Nakabuntis si Lance, It hurts her so much thinking that all those times na akala nya happy sila at walang problema ay may lumalaki pala silang problema. They do not last that long but for her its like years na ang hirap itapon na lang bsta bsta but she needs to decide and dahil ayaw ni kim na sirain ang pamilya ng batang walang kamalaymalay. It left kim with no choice but to broke up with him. For the second time, kim felt the pain she felt when dave left him. It's even worst. Balik na naman ang sad and lonely kim. Her friends felt sorry for her. Bahay school na naman ang daily routine nya. She was about to permanenlty banned boys in her life when she met michael. She met her at a seminar in CamSur. Being hurt twice Michael find it hard to to win her heart.

Kim: best ano daw sabi? san ba tayo? sa cash flow o sa income statement group?

Mel: cash yata tayo eh.. di ko narinig ang ingay kasi. wait  I'll ask trish

Michael: hello miss I think cash flow kayong dalawa.. we belong to the same group.. I'm michael, from La Salle Dasma.. Juniors ba kayo?

Michael: ah actually i just graduated, ah nagrereview na ko ngayon for the board exams.. i just came to help and unwind na din kasi JPIA officer ako. Ok ka lang kim? 

Mel: ok lang yan! allergic lang talaga yan sa boys..don't mind her.

Michael: ah mel, kim punta alng ako dun ha? Ill be right back.. bye kim

Kim just looked and gave a half smile.

Mel: ay nako may nabihag nanaman ang ganda mo.

DI pinancsin ni kim ang kaibigan pero deep inside her she is starting to hate what she is feeling.. na love at first sight yta sya.. pero kelangan nya yun pigilan.

kim: (whispering to her self) ano ba naman yang kim..eto na naman tayo.. di ka na naman natuto.. tama ng heartaches.. no boys allowed na muna sa buhay mo ok? dalawa na yun.. quota ka na sa heartaches! months palang ang nakalipas kimmy! wake up! ano bang klasedng puso meron ka? Hi lang at good bye inlove ka na! Buang ka! Buang ka! 

She didn't realiza that she said her last words out loud..

michael: kim? ok ka lang? sinong buang?

kim: (was shocked) ah wala yun..  same bus ba tayo? di ba dun ung sa mga dasma?

michael: gusto ko lang sana hingin number mo.. i just us to be friends

kim: friends na tayo.. no need to get my number

mel: friend natin yan no kaba? sorry micahel.. tara na baka maiwan tayo ng bus.. bye michael!  bye din daw sabi ni kim

michael: ok lang mel,, bye kim! nice meeting you two..specially you kim..

at the bus kim didn't say a word to mel.. she felt annoyed and irritated. She knows that her wants her to be happy, to move on pero as much as she wanted to  there's still a part in her that tells her its not yet time, it will take time.. All through the trip she kept quiet, thinking about things.. it's been three months, and if the three month rule thingy they said is true.. she is now offcially free to date with anybody. Besides, her ex is going to be a dad in couple of months. When they reached her unit, she went straight to her room.

maja: o kimmy hows the seminar.. balita ko may new hottie ka na naman ah..

 Kim: pagod ako maj.. not now.. not that topic 

erich: ano nangyari dun? emote kung emote? 

mel: ay nako wag nyo na pansinin..

maja: tell us about the guy mel! spill!

mel; later nalang.. baka mapagalitan tayo ng lola at sipain tayo sa condo nya..

at her room kim was staring at her ceiling when her phone rang..

kim: hello?

michael: kim. si michael to. just wanted to know if you reach home safely?

kim: yah we did.. thanks for asking

michael: pagod ka siguro.. haba kasi ng byahe no?

kim: as matter of fact nagpapahinga na ko..

michael: sorry looks like  your in a bad mood.. sorry kim.. sige good night

kim: bye!

upon pressing the end button.. she yelled "meeeliisssaaa riiiiiccckksss!!!!"

erich:may sunog ba?

mel: hala na! mapapatalsik na nga tayo dito

maja: ikaw lang no!

michael was persistent with kim. kahit na malayo sya he still find time to meet with kim, to have dinner with her and her friends..

KIm is taking it slowly, she wanted to make sure na this time it will be right. Na hindi na sya masasaktan, so she decided not to give in easily. Pero love is tricky na kahit anung iwas nya.. di parin sya makaiwas. She fell in love with him pero they both decided not to commit on a serious relationship.  Besides he said he's willing to wait.. Comes her junior year naging busy na sya.. pero she still spend time with him, talk in phone for hours, and visit him in the office. sometimes they would have a small fights but they would still end in each other's arm. Walang kamatayang MU.. ganto sila for years.. happy naman si kim kasi so far eto na yung pinaka matagal na relationship nya although hindi official, happy din sya na di nagdedemand si Michael..kahit na madami ang against sa kanila including Michael's mom eh na surpass naman nila lahat yun.. so far..

michael: kim i know i told i will wait, pero i just want to ask you if you are ready,, for this (handed the ring) pero its not a marriage proposal.. girlfriend proposal pa lang

kim: mike.. di ba happy naman tayo? ok naman tayo di ba? i think there's no need for this..

michael: pero kim.. iba yung may right ako sayo.. iba yung masasabi ko talagang akin ka.. malay mo with that move maging ok kana kay mama

kim:  i don't think so..let's just take it slow sweetie

michael: kimmy.. please think about it.. for now sayo muna to.. well wala naman akong gustong magmayari nyan kundi ikaw

kim: (accepted the ring) sige i'll think about it.. i'll let you know soon.. sige na you better go para di ka mxado gabihin sa daan..

michael: goodnight sweetie

That night kim talked to her friends that night about her and michael

mel: malay mo this time happy ending na

erich: eh malay mo naman hindi di ba?

maja: bakit ka ba nega jan? don't listen to her kimmy.. just trust your heart. you will not know what it feels like unless you try it

mel: kumbaga sa business best,  risk taker ka dapat, thats how you earn profit

maja: he's worth the risk naman eh.. you love him right?

kim: (nodded) oo.. siguro

maja: yung kinakabahan ka pag anjan sya, pero pag wala na nalulungkot ka

mel: you look forward to see him, and kahit hours lang kayo di magkita it like years

maja:your day is a mess pero with him by your side everything is alright

erich: no ba yan.. ang corny nyo na! 

maja: di ka ksi ganun ke enchong eh! di yan true love girl!

erich: eh bakit ganun ka ba sa new boylet mo?

maja: excuse me! may pangalan sya! matteo! yang si mel ang ang guluhin mo!

mel: excuse me! si kim ang pinaguusapan natin dito di ba? ok naman kami ni matt ah

kim: naintindihan ko na. sige i'll give it a try..

mel: nga pala kimmy i'll be staying at our home starting tom. anjan kasi sina mama pero a week or two lang naman..

kim: really, tell tita i missed her.. its ok.. take all the time you need.. we'll be ok hir

kim called michael and asked him out..  she told her na may sasabihin lang sya dito. 

the day of their date comes.. kim was waiting for michael at the caffee infront of their school when she got a phonecall

"can you please come into my office, we just have to talk. this is michael's mom"

She was assisted by jane, the secretary of michael's mom.

"this way please"

kim: good morning tita mariz

mariz: kim hindi na ko magpapaligoy ligoy pa.. alam mo naman na una palang i don't like you for my son, i instructed my son to tell you this pero di daw nya kaya.. so ako na magsasabi sayo. My son is gone, he is in Korea right now to plan for his wedding. he is not coming back.  Bata ka pa naman iha.. makakahanap ka pa ng iba.. kaya whatever it is that's going on between you and my son.. im officially ending it now. you can go iha.. may importanf meeting pa ko..

as kim stepped out of the office, the words keep repeating on her mind. She was just interrupted by jane who gave her a letter.. She didn't know what to feel, kung kelan ready na sya to open her heart again. eto pa nangyari. She just walked, going nowhere.. crying, hopeless, wounded and broken.. for the third time.. she manage to seat in a bench beside the church.. she read the letter jane gave her earlier

my dearest kimmy

im so sorry, i didn't mean to.. pero this is the only way to revive our company.. i love you so much but i also love my family.. you know how much the company means to us.. If you say yes on our last conversation i will no do it.. pero it seems to me that you have not gotten completely with your past. i just want you to know that everything i said was true. I really love you but i love my family more.. im sorry kim..  michael

she burst in tears.. she looked at the cross on top of the church..

kim: am i doomed to be broken forever? hindi mo ba ko mahal? bakit ako nalang lagi nasasaktan? bakit ako nalang lagi iniiwan? ano bang nagawa ko sayo? don't i deserved to be happy too? baki t di mo nalang ako pinatay ng biglaan? hindi yung ganto na unti unti mo kong pinapahirapan? akala ko ba mahalaga lahat sayo? eh bakit ganito sakin.. ang daya mo naman eh.. madaya ka.. 

she didn't  want to go inside. for the first time in her life she hated God.. she hated everything He gave her.. for a moment she taught of ending her life.. she stood up and about to go when she passed out..

She woke up with a headache.. pinilit nya tumayo.. she recognized the place, it was a clinic.. when she saw no one she decide to leave a thank you note and leave.. she went home.. when she reached home good thing no one is around. she remembered erich and maja is still in school and will be home late at night, melissa is at their home. She argued with herself whether to call melissa or not.. in the end.. she called melissa
