__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They grew up under the same roof. Aia was taken in by the Hermadeus family and became part of the family she never thought she would have. At doon niya nakilala si Zhavier Hermadeus. They grew up together. They shared the same home, the same memories, and countless moments that slowly became a part of who they were. But sometimes, growing up together doesn't mean growing old together. Years later, Zhavier returned from New York with a heart already broken. Ang babaeng pinakamamahal niya ay wala na sa kanya. She was already married-to his own brother. At sa pagbabalik niya, hindi lang isang pusong wasak ang dala niya kundi isang sakit na pilit niyang tinatakasan. Until one unexpected night changed everything. Sa gitna ng kalungkutan, sama ng loob, at alak, Aia became the person who stayed beside him. Neither of them knew how far that night would take them. Isang pagkakamali. Isang gabing hindi na nila maaaring bawiin. At isang desisyong hindi nila pinili. When the two elder Hermadeus decided that they had to get married, Aia had no choice but to accept the fate placed in front of her. But Zhavier never wanted the marriage. He never loved her. At sa loob ng halos dalawang taon nilang pagsasama, araw-araw niyang ipinaalala kay Aia na hindi siya ang babaeng gusto niyang makasama. He gave her pain instead of affection. Distance instead of warmth. Silence instead of love. Hindi niya ipinakita kung gaano siya kahalaga. Hindi niya ipinaramdam kung paano maging asawa. At sa bawat araw na lumilipas, unti-unting namamatay ang pag-asang minsan ay minahal din siya ni Zhavier kahit hindi bilang Asawa....

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Maureen Zandhejas and Laurence Hermadeus were never supposed to meet this way. They were both in love with someone else. May kanya-kanya silang taong minamahal, mga pangarap na binubuo, at mga buhay na akala nila ay nakatakda nang sundan. Until one unexpected encounter changed everything. Isang aksidenteng pagtatagpo ang nauwi sa isang gabing hindi nila kailanman inakalang mangyayari-isang pagkakamaling nagbunga ng isang buhay na hindi nila kayang talikuran. Dahil dito, pinanagutan ni Laurence si Maureen. But they never planned to be together. Nagkasundo sila na mananatiling lihim ang tunay nilang status, at pagkatapos maisilang ang bata, maghihiwalay sila at babalik sa mga buhay na dati nilang mayroon. It was supposed to be simple. Hanggang sa dumaan ang mga araw, naging buwan, at naging taon. Sa tagal ng kanilang pagsasama, unti-unti nilang nakilala ang isa't isa sa paraang hindi nila kailanman inaasahan. Sa gitna ng responsibilidad, mga pagsubok, at mga sandaling sila lamang ang nagkakaintindihan, isang damdaming hindi nila dapat maramdaman ang tahimik na nabuo. They accidentally fell in love. Pero paano kung ang taong minahal mo nang hindi sinasadya ay siya palang taong kailangan mong bitawan? Because before they found each other, there were already people waiting for them. May mga pusong maaari nilang masaktan. May mga pangakong kailangan nilang tuparin. At higit sa lahat, may isang katotohanang hindi nila maaaring takasan.....
