Mira Leigh de Alvara has met her soulmateㅡonly it's in her dreams. Literally. Walang pangalan. Walang malinaw na mukha. But their conversations are vivid, their intimate moments achingly surreal. So real they linger even after she wakes. Kinumbinsi niya ang kanyang sarili na bunga lang ito ng pangungulila at stress. Until she meets a man who makes her heart race in the same way it does in her dreams. He speaks to her as though he already knows her. He knows things she has never told anyone. Is he the man from her dreams? Pero paano? Is she truly meeting him in real life, or is she still moving through rainwashed dreams?

Isang buwang magiging tulay si Eliseo (hindi niya tunay na pangalan) kapalit ng yamang pantustos sa kanyang kolehiyo. Siya ang magiging tagahatid ng mga sulat sa pagitan ng isang lider ng kilusan at ng isang paring seglar at guro sa paaralan. Ang paksa ng kanilang usapan? Hindi siya sigurado at hindi niya balak na alamin pa iyon. Ang tanging layunin niya ay maisakatuparan ang misyon sa kabila ng mahalagang kondisyon: ang pumasok bilang estudyante sa paaralang eksklusibo lamang para sa mga kalalakihan nang walang nakakaalam sa kanyang ginagawa. Kung tutuusin, magaan pa para kay Eliseo ang gagawin. Kaya nang alukin siya ng isa pang misyon ay tinanggap niya agad. Isang gabi lang naman siyang magiging tagapaglibang ng mga bisita sa gaganaping piging sa bahay na bato. Ngunit, ang akalang magiging payapa ang gabi ay biglang naglaho nang masilayan niya sa gilid ng sala real ang kaklaseng nakatingin sa kanyang direksyon. At hindi lang basta kaklase. Siya rin ang kasama sa kwarto ni Eliseo. Si Isagani o mas kilala bilang Gani. Nakasuot ito ng barong tagalog, itim na pantalon, at sapatos na gawa sa katad. Kumpara naman sa suot ni Eliseo na traje de mestiza, peluka, at may pamaypay pa. - "Maaari ba kitang maisayaw, Binibini?" "Punye-" Napatigil si Eliseo nang may dumaan sa kanilang gilid. Nang sigurong wala ng makakarinig ay ibinalik niya ang masamang tingin sa isa. "Ngayon pa talaga? Sa sitwasyon natin ngayon? Kanina lang, tinawag mo akong bayaran. Tapos ngayon, yayayain mo ako-" "Nakatingin siya." "Sino?" "Siya." Napalitan ng takot ang tapang sa mata ni Eliseo. "Ang lalaking naka...?" Pasimpleng tumango si Isagani, hindi bumibitaw sa mga mata ng naka-bihis dalaga. Dahan-dahan niyang inabot ang kamay ni Eliseo katuloy ng mahina niyang pagsambit, "Kaya sa akin lang ang tingin."

Dulot ng isang kuryosidad, isang bagay ang kaniyang matutuklasan. Ito ba'y pagkakamali o sinadya? Ito ba'y nakatakda o sadyang nagkataon lamang? Dahil sadyang maaawain sa mga hayop si Aster Manalo-Marquez ay ninais niyang ampunin ang alagang pusa ng namayapang kapit-bahay ng kaniyang ina, na araw-araw niya noong nakikitang naroon lamang sa terasa ng bahay ng amo nito. Subalit, hindi niya akalain na ang bagong alagang pusa na kaniyang malugod at buong pusong tinanggap ay mayroon palang sikretong dala-dala. Handa ba siya sa kaniyang matutuklasan?
