She remember how sad she was when Natharika left for America and how happy she also was at her return. She know her sister loved her, but couldn’t understand why she hasn’t keep contact with her even if she was furious against her parents. She can’t stand it anymore and has to talk to someone : Aff.

Aum : Your husband is safe now but his heart gets worse.
The old Lady : Thank you so much doctor. I know that he was hidden me something but how can I do for him.
Aum : Staying by him is the best think you can actually do.
The old Lady : Thank you again.
Then she goes into the room to see her husband.
Ann : So…you are really a cardiologist…
Aum : Of course I’m !
Ann : It was just a statement not a question and even less for you.
Aum : Do as your will, I have no time to argue with someone today.
Ann : I don’t want to lost my time for this stupid thing too !
Aum : Fine !
Then he goes away.

Aum : Your ‘re crazy ! Let me go !
-------------------------------
In the night club, Ken and Aum are drinking on a table. After driving Aff to home, Ken called Aum to join him in their favorite night club because he didn’t want to return home or to face his parents. Aum, who had just finished joined him ‘cause they haven’t be alone, between friends, since a while. At the table next to them, a group of pretty girls are smiling to them and they return their smile but when one of the girl come to invite them, ken tell her that her and her friend are all really pretty but he already has someone in his heart and he doesn’t want to cheat on her. She smile to him and looks at Aum. This one says that even if he doesn’t have a girlfriend, he is too tired to have fun with girls yet. So, after these two refuses, always with smile, she greets them and joins her friends.
« Girls nowadays are so brave ! They aren’t afraid of anything» said Ken. Aum starts to laugh and answers in the same time that is so true and that Ken has maybe found the last nice and good girl on earth. Ken smiles to this statement, It’s true that Aff has nothing in common with all these girls : she’s traditional, and very shine. He can’t forget how hard It was to win her heart. Then Aum continues
Aum : Nothing with her friend, this creasy woman !
Ken : Do you speak about Ann ?
Aum : Who would I refer to if It’s not her.
Ken : I find that she’s a nice girl too…but less shine that Aff.
Aum : You say that because you didn’t have the chance to see the real her…anyway.
I don’t think you called me to talk about that…Am I right ?
Ken : You are really my best friend. She has finally accepted my proposition and we will get married as soon our home is finished.
Aum : What a wonderful news ! I’m so happy for you !
Ken : …And of course, I want you to be my best-man.
Aum : How could I refuse !
And this night was a great night for our two heroes.
