Maria Ynessa Quinonez, or Mayi as she's known, had always believed in fate, but when she found herself repeatedly bumping into Ceddy, her brother's friend, she wasn't sure what to make of it. She knew that she couldn't fall for him, not just because of the age gap and her brother, but also because it seemed like fate was playing a cruel joke on her. However, as Mayi's feelings for Ceddy grew stronger, she couldn't help but wonder if fate was trying to tell her something. But would Ceddy feel the same way? And if he did, would they be able to navigate the obstacles in their way? Or would their love be doomed to fade away like a whisper in the wind?
