Episode 1
Meena, Chad, Kua and Nan were friends.
Meena and Chad had been dating for ten years. Meena is a baker who dreams of owning her own bakery.
Chad is an architect who said he will design her a dream bakery. He created her a 3-D image of bakery which she cherished so much.
Kua said as he is an engineer he will build the bakery for her.
Nan felt left out and asked what she could do?
Meena said she will be the manager of the bakery/restaurant.
Unfortunately, it was not all plain sailing because Chad is a womaniser, a serial cheater.
Again and again, Meena would catch him with another girl and would try to break up with Chad.
Chad told her that he was just having fun, once they get married she will only be the girl for him.
To make her feel more secure, he proposed to her and gave her a beautiful diamond engagement ring.
All is happy in Meena’s world once again.
She was giddy with excitement preparing a birthday cake for Chad. She asked Kua and Nan to help her give a birthday surprise to Chad.
They let themselves in Chad’s apartment and hid in the bedroom until he comes home.
Meena heard him letting himself in so she lit the cake and started singing happy birthday to him as she went into the dark living room.
She got the shock of finding Chad on top of a girl.
Kua and Nan came out ready with the birthday poppers and to video the celebration. They were shocked as well.
Chad apologised to Meena but he said that he will be faithful to her once they get married.
Meena finally broke up with him but she really took it very hard as they had been together for ten years. She was so heartbroken, she ended up in the hospital.
When she went home, her mother and brother were so concerned for her and they had a right because Meena was suicidal. She slashed on her wrist several times.
Thank goodness Kua was there to save her.
Chad came to see her to try to get back with her but Kua told him to leave Meena alone for good. He told Chad that Meena tried to kill herself.
Chad realised that Kua was in love with Meena.
Episode 2
Meena wanted to get over Chad and move on.
Kua said that the best thing to get over a relationship was to jump right into another relationship. He then asked her if he could be her boyfriend.
Meena thought for a while and then hugged Kua.
They have a very peaceful relationship. Kua was so perfect that Meena finally getting over Chad.
Kua was trying to be the opposite of Chad. He is so carrying and can anticipate whatever Meena wanted. He was always at ther beck and call. There are no surprises. So it is kinda on the sedate side – boring.
So when Chad turned up once again during her birthday dinner arranged by Kua, Meena’s old feelings for Chad came back again.
She even confided to Nan that started to think of Chad all the time.
Nan told her to forget Chad.
Meena had been asking her to meet Nan’s boyfriend. Nan said that she had just broken up with her own boyfriend.
What Meena did not know was that Nan had seduced Chad as soon as he broke up with Meena.
But Chad, despite being a cheater, thinks that Meena is the only girl for him.
Poor Kua!
