Hindi lahat ng kasal ay bunga ng pagmamahalan. Minsan, isa lang itong malamig na transaksyon-isang kasunduan ng mga magulang na kailangang panindigan. Ako si Alessia Valencia Sa mata ng iba, nasa akin na ang lahat: talino, kagandahan, at respeto. Pero sa likod ng perpektong imaheng ito, may isang lihim akong pilit ibinabaon sa limot. Isang katotohanang hindi alam kahit ng pinakamalapit kong kaibigan. Kasal ako. At ang mas masakit? Kasal ako sa sarili kong professor. Si Freya Hernandez-isang babaeng tila walang kapintasan. Elegante, mayaman, at may presensyang kayang patahimikin ang buong unibersidad sa isang sulyap lang. Pero sa kabila ng lahat ng iyon, isa lang ang sigurado: Hindi niya ako mahal. At lalong hindi ko siya mahal. Pinagtagpo kami ng desisyon ng aming mga magulang-isang union na walang consent ng puso, kundi purong obligasyon lang. Sa loob ng aming mansyon, para kaming dalawang estrangherong pinilit ikulong sa iisang bubong. Siya ay malamig, walang emosyon, at tila hangin lang ang tingin sa akin. Pero okay lang. Wala rin naman akong pakialam.. di ba? Sa eskwelahan, normal ang lahat. Isa lang akong hamak na estudyante, at siya ang respetadong professor. Walang nakakaalam ng koneksyon namin maliban sa aming mga magulang at sa iisang saksi sa loob ng aming bahay-si Lourdes. Siya lang ang nakakakita kung gaano kami kalayo sa isa't isa, kahit pa magkadikit ang aming mga pangalan sa papel. Sa labas, kasama ko sina Lara, Cathy, September, Alyssa, Clarence, Sebastian, at Joshua. Sa piling nila, panandalian kong nakakalimutan ang bigat ng lihim na dala ko. Ngunit hanggang kailan namin kayang itago ang katotohanan? Hanggang kailan magtitiyaga ang dalawang pusong pilit na iginigitgit sa isang sitwasyong hindi nila pinili? Paano kung isang araw, ang galit at pagkailang ay mapalitan ng isang emosyong hindi namin inaasahan? Sa mundong puno ng lihim at kayamanan, ano ang mas mananaig: Ang bigat ng obligasyon... o ang bulong ng pag-ibig?
