What if an ordinary jeepney ride became the beginning of something you never expected?
Elise Eira Reyes is a college student trying to balance school, work, family problems, and her dreams of becoming an architect. Between deadlines, responsibilities, and the pressure of growing up, love is the last thing she thinks she needs.
Until one ordinary jeepney ride introduces her to Charles Louis Arden-a college student who spends his days studying and driving a jeepney to help his family.
What starts as a simple passenger-and-driver encounter slowly turns into a friendship neither of them expected.
But as they grow closer, they discover that loving someone isn't always easy. Family problems, responsibilities, misunderstandings, friendship, and the lack of time begin to test what they have.
Can Elise and Charles find a way to choose each other without losing themselves along the way?
Or will the problems around them be enough to make their love story end before it even begins?This version doesn't spoil the adoption reveal, betrayal, family separation, or ending, so readers still have reasons to discover those through the story.
