Mariana Dorothea Balmoja moved from the busy city life to the calm surroundings of a provincial university in Isabela, where she is studying civil engineering at the well-known University of St. De San Pablo. Surrounded by the comforts of city living, she focuses mostly on herself, with a strong determination and a somewhat spoiled attitude. But everything changed when she saw Luigi Samuel Bustamante-a very quiet architecture student in the province. Luigi had this quality of being kind and responsible that slowly opened Mariana's life. Spending time in the peaceful place of Isabela, she cannot help but be attracted by its beauty and charm. Luigi was not only one of the smart and serious people around but also athletic, and even captain of volleyball, which won him respect as a person of strong character. Though they are very different, Luigi's gentle yet firm nature and his warmth captivate Mariana. She falls deeply in love with him. Over time, Luigi starts to overcome her arrogance, and she begins to appreciate the value of hard work and real relationships. As their friendship grows, Mariana learns to enjoy the simple joys and genuine connections. However, things are not as perfect as they appear. What if their families are fighting some hidden problems? What if their family is involved in a huge, unrevealed problem? Would they even let it destroy their love?

So charming and warm that it almost feels like home. Some people? Not so much. Revelations and circumstances are piling up and the peace she sought at first has changed into hostility. Except for Olsteen. The shy boy she just met welcomed her with open arms without judgment and pretenses. He's the calm to her storm, and she's the disturbance he didn't know he needed beyond the stillness. He's too pure for this world, and hangs on her every word. When things get hard, how will they go forward?

"When friendship and love collide, which promise will they keep?"
