Wala sa plano ni Francyn na pumayag sa pustaan ng mga kaibigan niya. Hindi rin niya alam kung bakit siya napapayag ng mga ito gayong hindi naman niya ugaling manloko ng tao para lang makaganti ang kaibigan niya sa lalaking nangloko dito. Pero sadyang mapagbiro ang tadhana sa kaniya. Kung si kupido nga nagawang panain ang puso ng mga sawi siya pa kayang ni minsan hindi pa naranasan paano ang magmahal. Paano kung siya mismo ang mabiktima ng kalokohan ng mga kaibigan niya. Paano kung siya mismo ang mahulog sa lalaking akala niyang nanakit sa kaibigan niya. Kaya ba niyang pigilan ang nararamdaman para sa isang kaibigan? O susugal siya sa pag-ibig na ngayon lang niya naramdaman.
