Synopsis
Ana Cordero (played by Judy Ann Santos) is a hardworking advertising secretary and the primary breadwinner of her family. Meanwhile, Alex Medina (played by Rico Yan) is a driven entrepreneur with a passion for owning his own restaurant but has yet to find success in his business ventures.
Ana and Alex had a rocky first encounter in Vigan, but they eventually put aside their differences and became friends during their vacation. As they spent more time together, they developed a strong attraction and admiration for each other. However, Ana, aware of the limitations of their vacation romance, declares that they should end their feelings before returning to their real lives, fearing that there won't be room for love in their everyday routines.
Fate intervenes when Alex spots Ana walking to work in Manila, and he pursues her, inviting her to dinner. They quickly become a couple, deeply in love and supportive of each other's dreams. However, their relationship is soon put to the test as they face differences and sacrifices that challenge their love. Complications arise, including Ana's family, who pressures her to choose between them and Alex, and Sandy, Alex's close friend, who has secretly harbored feelings for him. These obstacles threaten to shake the foundation of their relationship.
