Masaya na ang buhay kung natupad at nasa 'yo ang tatlong bagay: Love, Passion and Freedom. We are humans who need love. Life will be dull and boring kung wala kang passion- but I think that's impossible. Mayroon ka niyan, and if you are willing na ituloy tuloy ito- yes of course! That is your happiness at wala namang tao ang hindi gugustuhin ang kaligayahan. So you need freedom.
Pero paano mo pagsasabay-sabayin ang lahat? Kakasikat pa lamang ni Calvin Clyde de Ocampo o mas kilala bilang Calvin Rivera sa industriya ng pag-aartista. And he is also in a relationship with Vienna Ianthine Addley, the most sincere and understanding lady. She loves Calvin so much kaya nalimutan niya ang dalawang bagay, her passion and her freedom.
Their relationship is one of the best relationship we want. The sweetness, the consistency and the legality- but everything needs to be private, hidden and remains untold. Namumuhay sila, nagmamahalan ng tanging pamilya at mga kaibigan lang nila ang may alam. In short, there's no Vienna on camera. Walang kahit anong bakas niya. And Vienna deals with it... For the sake of Calvin's carreer.
But unlike the other stories, malas sila. Masyadong manhid ang mga tao. Masyadong masaya at napapaniwala ang mga tao sa naibulgar sa media kailan lang. Lahat ay nagbubunyi. Lahat ay nagsasaya except Vienna. Nanatiling sarado ang isip ng lahat sa buhay ni Vienna. Ang alam nila, she's just an ordinary emcee. Yun lang.
Tanga. Nagpapakatanga siya. Everyday, she's just fooling herself. Hiding her pain, tears and heartaches for her love, Calvin.
Hanggang kailan kaya niya maitatago ito? Anong mangyayari kung umabot sa puntong punong puno na siya?
