Rejecting Iya's confessions is Jacob's norm. After sharing three kisses that Jacob claimed as meaningless, will Iya finally give up--or will she keep holding on until her dream romance turns into reality?
***
"I'm falling for your meaningless kisses."
Tatlong halik. Lahat, walang kahulugan. Hindi ko dapat panghawakan pero paano ba ang hindi umasa kung parang meron ang wala?

I have always wanted to be Jacob Tejeron's bride since I was six years old. People downplayed it to just having an intense crush, a puppy love, or a superhero model. Naisip ko, baka gano'n nga. Baka tinitingala ko si Jacob dahil siya 'yong hero na laging nandiyan para sagipin ako sa lahat ng palpak. I thought I could outgrow this feeling. But like a bad habit, I kept on looking at him; I kept on wishing with him; I kept on falling for him-when all I am to him is a sister.
Hindi ako dapat umasa-hindi dapat aasa-kahit sa mga halik niyang wala namang kahulugan.
Pero paano ang hindi umasa? #
