"I witnessed her pain and agony. She's like the uncalm sea, who screams for help, but nobody is there to lift her. So, I embraced her from afar... it's as if I am embracing the sea's sadness, just to make her calm."

At the age of 18, Aurora Leigh Ramos was forced to marry someone she didn't like. Kung kaya't kahit na labag man sa loob, she decided to disobey her parents and leave Davao City. While she was on escape, she met someone who helped her go to Ilocos Norte. However, all her positive thoughts were washed away when she found out that the boy who motivated and helped her had a girlfriend in that place. She was left with no choice but to continue her life alone... even if it meant sadness, grief, and loneliness would embrace her.

Aubert Dane dela Cruz was a man with one word. This was why when he met Aurora, he didn't leave his eyes on her. Ginawa niya ang lahat para protektahan ang babae, kahit na ang kaakibat nito ay ang pagsaway niya sa kanyang pamilya.

Alam ng lalake kung gaano kasakit ang mga dinanas ng babae. Is he willing to embrace the sea's sadness from afar? O hahayaan na lang ba niya itong magpatuloy sa buhay na piniling tinahak ng babae?
