Si Alexis Mendoza, bunsong anak ng mag-asawang anim na babae ang naging supling, ay pinalaki bilang lalaki dahil sa kagustuhan ng kanyang ama na magkaroon ng anak na lalaki. Lahat ng kanyang kilos, pananamit, at laruan ay panlalaki hanggang sa siya ay nagdalaga. Ngunit nang pumanaw ang kanyang ama sa isang aksidente, nag-iwan ito ng matinding lungkot at malaking utang sa kanilang pamilya. Sa takot ng kanyang ina na makulong, napilitan itong lumapit sa isang bilyonaryo. Isang kondisyon lamang ang hinihingi nito: hanapan ng mapapangasawa ang unico hijo niyang si Theo Angelo Garcia—isang babaero at happy-go-lucky na lalaki—sa paniniwalang magbabago ito kapag nagkapamilya. Nagulantang si Alexis nang ipakilala siya kay Theo at sabihang magpakababae na dahil magpapakasal na siya sa binata.

At ano ang mangyayari pagkatapos ng kasal kung bigla na lamang magbago ang tingin sa kanya ni Theo at ituring siyang isang napakagandang babae? May pag-asa pa kayang tumibok ang kanyang puso para sa binata?

"I can't wait. Naiinip na ako." Bulong sa'kin ni Ericjan habang pareho na kaming nakatayo sa harap ng altar. Napabungisngis na lamang ako dahil sa itinuran nito sa'kin. "Hindi pa nga nag sisimula si Father, pero naiinip ka na dyan." Sagot ko dito. "Of course.." Aniya at kumindat pa ito sa'kin, pag kuwa'y ginagap ng marahan ang palad ko na hawak hawak nito kanina pa. Pakiramdam ko nga din ay tumatagaktak na ang pawis ko roon dahil sa tensyong nararamdaman ko mula pa kanina. Agad naman kaming umayos sa pag kakatayo ng tumayo na si Father sa harapan namin upang simulan na ang kasal. Kagaya kanina, ganon parin ang bilis at pag tibok ng puso ko. Pakiwari ko nga'y unti na lang ay lalabas na sa dibdib ko ang puso ko. Mayamaya ay muli kong naramdaman ang masuyong pag pisil nito sa palad ko. Naramdaman nya siguro ang sunod sunod na pag papakawala ko ng malalim na buntong hininga. "Bago ko simulan ang seremonyas na ito.. Nais ko lang malaman kung may tumututol ba sa pag mamahalan at pag iisang dibdib nina Devee Oliveros at Ericjan Esparagoza? Kung meron man, mag salita na." Anang Father. Awtamatikong mas bumilis ang pag tibok ng puso ko dahil sa naging tanong ni Father.. Meron pa palang ganito pag ikinakasal? Katahimikan naman ang bumalot sa loob ng malaking simbahan kung saan dinadaos ang kasal namin. Mayamaya lamang ay biglang nag tayuan ang mga balahibo ko sa katawan, pakiramdam ko ay bigla akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig at biglang nagising sa katotohanan, ng may biglang sumigaw. "Itigil ang kasal..." Tinig ng babae.
