Five years ago, two best friends made a promise.
No video calls. No photos. No matter how far apart they were, they would wait until the day they met again.
For five years, they kept that promise.
Every night, they talked through text messages, sharing dreams, fears, victories, and the ordinary moments of life. They knew each other's hearts... but never each other's faces as they had grown.
Then everything changed.
Lisha returned to the Philippines to take over the Boyka Holdings Corporation, a responsibility she never wanted. There, she met Joaquin Archdekin-a stubborn, reckless, and annoyingly persistent employee from the Marketing Department who seemed determined to test her patience every single day.
Little by little, Joaquin became the reason behind her headaches... and the reason she couldn't stop smiling.
But while someone new was slowly occupying her heart, another person was slowly disappearing.
Han's replies became shorter, then they stopped. One message, two messages, three messages... and the message not sent.
Why did the one person who promised never to leave suddenly fall silent?
Some promises are meant to be kept.
Some truths are meant to stay hidden.
But what happens when the message that never reached its destination... is the very thing that could change everything?
