Brielle Quin Adler, an independent woman who never felt love for her entire existence. She doesn't have a clue about what love is and why does people want to find it so much. Ever since, she never felt attracted to anyone, boys or girls. Yes, she might have praised their looks but she's very aware that it is different from love or even crush. As she grew, she's beginning to notice how people reacts when they're in love, they're either happy, sad, stupid, or blind. That made her really curious how does love works.
Until she met him.
The guy who became her companion where she thought she never needed one. She's been independent all her life, particularly after college where her not-so-close friends instantly cut their ties with her after graduation. But that guy continuously irritated her to be close to her. She doesn't know why. Until he became her friend, her only close friend who can keep up with her and acts like he idolizes her.
At first, she's very confident that he is just a friend to her. Forcing her to believe that her care, and stupidity towards him is normal. She deceived herself to believe that, for God knows how long. Until one night made her realize everything. That night where she realizes how idiot she is for being so clueless all this time.
That night her friend is going to propose to someone for marriage. And the sad part is, it's not her.
Because of her broken heart, she ends up in a situation where she absentmindedly agreed to be engaged with someone who asked her for marriage out of nowhere. And that guy is Kaizer Dwight Cromwell.
Engineering students Pfifer and Ivan know that what they have is something special. Without a proper label between them plus an ugly twist of fate, can they manage to be together in the end--or will they remain as each other's TOTGA and nothing more?

May feelings na laging nandiyan, nakaabang kung kailan magpapapansin. Nakaabang kung kailan ako titisurin sa mga pamilyar na kanta, lugar, at salita. Magpapaalala sa isang mukha na hindi ko naman gano'n kakabisado pero pamilyar. Magpapaalala sa mga dating pakiramdam.
Malalaman mo raw kung sino ang The One That Got Away mo kapag narinig mo 'yong salita at nakaalala ka ng iisang tao lang; nakatisod ka ng mga dating pakiramdam; nangulila ka sa mga nakaraang saya; nakaalala ka ng mga pamilyar na sakit.
Sabi, time heals wounds at distance makes one forget. Bakit parang hindi naman effective? Bitbit ko pa rin lahat ng what if. Hindi pa rin ako makatakas sa maraming sana.
Ako ba ang bumitiw o siya? Tapos na ba kami talaga?
Ang sarap magtanong kaso...wala nga palang kami noon.
