Growing up in the quiet province of Cebu, Yliana Franmela Yareza has always carried two dreams that seem almost impossible to balance: becoming an architect and becoming a volleyball athlete who will one day represent DLSU and, eventually, the Philippines.
Between endless schoolwork, exhausting training sessions, competitions, failures, and the pressure to prove herself, Yliana keeps moving forward even when the dream feels too far away.
But early in her journey, someone from her past suddenly walks back into her life.
Kezra Jace Domingo.
The girl Yliana once had feelings for. The girl she thought she had already moved on from.
At first, their reunion is awkward. But as they slowly spend more time together, old memories return, and the distance between them begins to disappear. What starts as simple friendship gradually becomes something deeper something neither of them expected.
While Yliana chases her dreams on the court and in the classroom, Kezra becomes one of the people who sees how hard she works when nobody else does. Through losses, victories, injuries, late-night studying, impossible deadlines, and moments when Yliana wants to give up, Kezra stays.
And as Yliana gets closer to the life she once only dreamed about, she begins to realize that reaching the finish line isn't only about becoming the athlete or architect she always wanted to be.
Sometimes, it's also about the people who stayed beside you while you were becoming her.
From a girl with a dream in the province of Cebu to an architect, a DLSU athlete, and a player representing the Philippines this is Yliana's journey.
And somewhere along the way, she might just find out that the girl she once thought was part of her past could become part of her future.
