To sail across the seven seas and to dock in many ports. Those are just the two things Kiro Danvier Celeres aimed for his life. He is popular as the flame darling of BS in Marine Transportation. Sa lahat ng Marino, siya lang ang may kakayahang umilag sa katagang "Seamanloloko". Why? Well, he has just no ex, no past or latest flings, but crush? Of course, he has. However, he met the girl when he was young. And he cannot just forget her. He cannot just unlove her. So as hard as he could ... He finds her no matter how many years it will take. As his cargo ship tranquilly sailed across his sanctuary, finding his lost queen, he suddenly met Zy and later developed feelings with her. Life is an art but unlike the paper - You cannot erase anything. It is what it is. She's the first victim. Hindi manloloko? Then why is she crying? Why is she grieving for what she'd lost? #LIGTWP

Rejections doesn't scare her. Kaya kahit ilang nakakahiyang bagay pa 'yan, basta mapansin lang ng crush niya, gagawin niya.

May pag-asa pa! But what if ... the unconfirmed matter is completely answered by her, herself? She saw it. She felt it. When he can instantly refuse her, while he cannot say no when it comes to her cousin. She achieved what she wants. He fell for her. They fall in love with each other. But how assured she is that his every heartbeats screams nothing but her name? Her cousin comes first before her. Or she might be just a replacement. Who knows? [UNEDITED] #AGOLWP
