LOGINTimotheo George Yves is a 27-year-old heir to a luxury hotel empire with a degree in Engineering. In his life, he can do whatever he wants… money is never a problem to him. Pero thrill is not there anymore at pakiramdam niya ay nakakulong siya sa expectations ng kanyang pamilya. To escape from his parents’ manipulative hands, he left the city and starts posing as "Timo," isang barista sa malayong lugar na sa tingin nya ay hindi na sya mahahanap ng kanyang mga magulang. Isang regular customer si Ashanti Veronica Sullivan sa cafe kung saan nagtatrabaho si Timo. Isang passionate na social worker si Ash na may layuning tulungan ang mga taong nasa baba katulad niya. Since Timo met Ash, he wondered what kind of person Ash is until he realized he became curious of her more. They become friends at kalaunan ay nahulog ang puso ni Timo kay Ash. Far from Timo’s expectation, his parents find out about his relationship with Ash at ang mga magulang niya ay hindi sang-ayon sa kanilang relasyon. They feared Ash will bring Tim to his downfall and will cause disgrace to their family. Lalong gumulo ang sitwasyon ng ang kanyang lolo ay nagdagdag ng clause sa kanyang will: Timo must marry a woman of "modest means" within six months para makuha ang kanyang mana. Timo’s parents force him to be with someone who is on their level, but he is against it. Timo doesn't have a choice, but to hide his true identity from Ash, risking their relationship. Samantala, muling nagbalik ang manipulative ex-fiancé ni Ash, si Keanu Florian Domingo, na nagbabantang ibunyag ang sikreto ni Timotheo. As the deadline nears, Timotheo must confront his family's prejudices at kailangan niyang pumili sa pagitan ng kanyang inheritance o kinabukasan kasama si Ash.

Another night, another party to attend. I smoothly went to the counter to order a beer for myself, “Beer please!” sabi ko sa bartender na naghahalo ng mga ordered drinks.
“Coming up, sir!” the bartender answered at mabilis na kinuha ang isang can of beer galing sa fridge sa likuran niya. “Here you go!” dagdag niya at inabot sakin ang beer.
“Thanks, bro!” Mabilis akong umalis ng counter at bumalik sa table kung nasaan ang mga kaibigan ko. I put down my beer on the table and slammed my body on the couch.
“You look horrible tonight, Theo!” Umupo si Tiffany sa tabi ko at pinagmasdan ang mukha ko. “Hindi ka ba nag-eenjoy?” she added.
“You know what, this life sucks! I want something new,” I blurted out and opened the can of beer that I bought. “I need some thrill,” sabi ko pa at inubos ang laman ng lata.
“What kind of thrill, man? Ikaw lang ang kilala kong na-boring sa pagiging burgis,” Hector said while laughing at me.
I shook my head in disbelief, “You don’t understand me!” I gave up and stood up to get another beer at the counter. I ordered a bucket of beer para hindi na ako pabalik-balik. Once I came back to our table, my friends looked at me as if they wanted to tell me something.
“Look, Theo!” sabi ng pinsan kong si Tyrone at inabot sakin ang kanyang phone.
I saw a video of my ex-girlfriend making out with a guy, which made me gagged out of disgust. “Not interested!” I told him and put the bucket on the table.
Nagsimula na kaming magpakalunod sa beer hanggang sa magsalita si Tyrone, “Why don’t you leave your life here and start a simple one?” sabi niya at tumingin ng seryoso sakin. “I mean out of this city if you really want some thrill,” dagdag pa niya at inubos ang beer na hawak niya.
I think what Tyrone said was a bright idea, “I like that!” sagot ko at mabilis na tumayo mula sa pagkaka-upo sa couch. “I need to go! I already paid for our drinks,” I told them and left the club. Without any hesitation, I went back to the condo where I live alone. I got my luggage at nagsimulang mag-impake ng mga damit na balak kong dalhin sa pag-alis ko.
I messaged Tyrone to get me out of my condo early tomorrow morning kasi ayaw kong ma-track ng mga magulang ko kapag umalis na ako. I left all my cards inside of my side cabinet and turned off my phone, so they couldn’t reach me. Nang maramdaman ko ang tama ng beer sa katawan ko ay nagdesisyon na akong matulog agad.
The next day came, and Tyrone was already at my condo at exactly 6 am. “You are with Hector and Tiffany?” I asked when I saw my other two friends entering my condo.
“Why? Gusto ka naming ihatid sa bago mong titirhan,” Tiffany answered and helped me put my garments on my backpack. “Are you sure about this?” she asked me.
“Of course!” I answered and went to the bathroom to take a bath. Not that long, we were already on our way to Benito Soliven. Isa siyang province na malayo sa QC at alam kong hindi iisipin ng mga magulang kong titira ako sa isang baryo. They knew me!
Tyrone was driving his car while I was sitting in the passenger's seat. It took us a couple hours to make a beeline to Benito Soliven. I immediately looked around to see how beautiful the place was, “Great place!” bulong ko habang nakatingin sa mga punong sumasayaw sa ihip ng hangin.
“I guess you like the place, Theo!” Tiffany said at the back of the car.
“Yeah!” I answered and was still watching the trees as we passed by.
Tyrone played some music inside his car, and they were vibing on it. I was looking outside when Tiffany handed me a regular phone from the back.
“I know na iniwan mo yung phone mo sa condo mo, so binilhan kita ng bagong phone na pwede mong gamitin dito,” Tiffany said and smiled at me. “May sim na din yan,” dagdag niya pa.
“Appreciate it!” I told her and ni-explore ang phone na binigay niya. As I was busy scrolling on my new phone, I heard some noises outside of the car. I lifted my head to find us just outside the city hall.
“What is that?” Tiffany asked while looking outside.
May nangyayaring rally sa may harapan ng city hall kaya may traffic sa lugar. Binaba ni Tyrone ang bintana kaya mas lalong narinig namin ang ingay sa labas.
“IBALIK ANG DAPAT SA TAO! IBALIK!” sigaw ng mga taong nasa rally habang hawak-hawak ang mga malalaking placard.
Tiningnan ko isa-isa ang mga nasa harapan ng rally. I froze when I saw a lady standing brave in the middle of the rally, “Bagalan mo, Tyrone!” utos ko kay Tyrone nung bigla siyang bumilis sa pagmamaneho.
Tyrone did what I said, and I could see clearly the lady that I was eyeing. Damn! She’s gorgeous! Binasa ko ang nakasulat sa placard na hawak-hawak niya, ‘Ang Bayanihan Hope Foundation ang kasangga ng mga tao.’
She’s one of the protesters and I guessed she was siding on what is right. As I was watching her, I noticed that she was looking around, maybe looking for someone or something. I was stunned when her gaze went into my direction, so I immediately moved away from the window.
“What the hell are you doing, bro!” I heard Hector called out from the back. I looked at him and he was smirking at me. The hell!
“Shut up!” I murmured and looked at the lady’s direction again. Thank God and she was looking in front again.
“So, can I drive fast now?” Tyrone asked kaya napatingin ako sa kanya.
“No!” mabilis na sagot ko at nagkataon din na may traffic kaya hindi kami agad-agad makaka-usad.
The alarm went on kaya gumising na kami para mag prepare papunta sa company ng mga Yves. I was nervous at the same time excited to see manong Edward because I knew he was the one who called me here. “Tapos na kayo?” tanong ni Isco kasi siya ang naunang matapos sa amin at naghihintay na lang siya sa may sofa. “Guys, 8 am ang schedule na pagpunta natin doon!” dagdag pa niya at mukha pa siyang na-stress sa amin ni Dami.“Oo na!” sagot naman ni Dami at pinalabas na ulit si Isco ng kwarto.Tinapos ko na ang pag apply ng makeup at hindi ko masyadong kinapalan para naman hindi sila mag isip ng kung ano sa akin. We went out of our hotel at nag check out na kami kasi diretso uwi na din kami sa Benito Soliven mamaya. Nasa loob na kami ng sasakyan ni Isco at nagsimula na siyang mag drive papunta sa building ng Yves company. I was trying to calm myself, but my heart kept beating so fast. “Okay lang yan, Ash!” bulong ni Dami at napansin niya pala n
Even though I was hungry, I still didn't manage to finish my food because I already lost my appetite. I looked at the table where Timo's mommy was. She was laughing while talking to the group she was with.“Sobrang matapobre naman ng mommy ni Timo,” wika ni Dami na nakatingin na din pala sa table kung nasaan ang mommy ni Timo.“Hayaan na natin siya,” sabi ko na lang at umiwas ng tingin.I waited for them to finish their food until we left the restaurant. I liked the food and it tasted good, but I didn’t expect na ma-meet ko na naman si Mrs. Yves. We were waiting for a taxi outside the restaurant when I heard her voice again.“So, you don't have your own car?” tanong ni Mrs. Yves sa akin.“Nagtitipid po kasi kami sa gas,” sagot ko naman kasi iniwan namin ang kotse ni Isco sa hotel kung saan kami nag check in.“Tipid? I didn’t hear that word for a long time now,” sagot niya naman at tumingin siya sa mga kaibigan ko. “Oh! I can reme
We reached QC after a few hours of travel and we decided to book a hotel for the three of us. We wanted to rest first before going to Yves' company. We had three different beds, and I chose the bed near the window.“Patayin na natin ang ilaw para makapagpahinga na muna tayo,” wika ni Dami at sumang-ayon kami ni Isco sa sinabi niya.I fell asleep right away because of exhaustion. Hindi talaga ako natulog para may kausap si Isco habang nagmamaneho. When we woke up, kumain kami ng dinner kasi gabi na ng magising kami. “Ngayon ko naramdaman ang pagod,” wika ni Isco at nag stretch sa harap namin ni Dami. “Ang hirap talagang mag drive,” wika pa niya.“Gising din naman ako sa buong byahe natin,” wika ko naman sa kanya. “Kaya nga! Pero yung isa diyan,” biro ni Isco at tumingin pa kay Dami.“Oo na! Sorry kung tulog ako buong byahe ah,” sabi naman ni Dami at tumayo na sa kanyang kama. “Ako na maghanap ng place na kakainan natin,” sabi pa niya at humarap sa kanyang phone.“Mag shower lang ako,
“What are you doing there?” tanong ni Timo habang nakahiga sa kama niya.“Someone from your family ask me to go there,” sagot ko naman sa kanya.“For what?” tanong niya ulit sa akin.“Mag donate daw sila sa foundation,” sagot ko naman sa kanya.He looked at me for a couple of seconds and said, “Do you want me to drive you?”“Isco will drive us,” sagot ko naman sa kanya.He didn’t say anything until he nodded his head at me. “Just be safe and update me on what will happen there,” wika niya sa akin.After we finished cleaning his closet ay napagdesisyunan namin kung saan kami kakain ng lunch. We went to the nearest restaurant and Timo would pay for our food.“Are you sure you want to go there without me?” tanong ni Timo habang kumakain kami.“You're busy! Atsaka kasama ko naman sina Dami at Isco,” sagot ko sa kanya.“Fine! Just be safe, okay?” wika niya naman sa akin.Natapos kaming kuma
