Synopsis
Waldo (Jericho Rosales), a righteous and hardworking son from a happy family, shares a deep love with Aryann (Arci Muñoz). Although both were young, their love for each other was undeniably genuine and true.
One night, however, their story changed as Waldo accidentally killed a man who attempted to rape Aryann. Waldo was convicted of the crime and was sent to prison. Feeling responsible for Waldo's misfortune, Aryann took on different jobs to raise money to get him out of jail and met Tristan (John Estrada) who gave her the hand she was desperately looking for.
Not soon after being freed however, Waldo faced the vengeful brother of the man he killed and was shot. Waldo falls of a cliff and drifts into the sea which made everyone, except Aryann, believe that he was dead.
Having slowly accepted Waldo's death, Aryann moved on and found her way to Tristan, the man who didn't take advantage of her vulnerability during her darkest times. The two fall in love with each other and were set to be wed.
However during the announcement of their wedding, Aryann realizes the undeniable truth that Waldo is alive. The two cross paths but Aryann is no longer sure if she still shares the love they once had.
