Wala siyang matinong nagawa sa buong buhay niya kaya madalas siyang pagbuhatan ng kamay ng kanyang ama o kaya ay ng kanyang madrasta. No one treated her well, even the maids in her home. They all believe she’s a nuisance. Dumating ang araw na nagkaroon siya ng silbi sa kanyang ama nang kailangan nitong makipagkasundo sa Pamilya Dalton. Kahit takot na takot sa kanyang magiging asawang si Drew ay wala siyang magawa kung hindi ipagpatuloy ang kanyang obligasyon bilang Martin. Sa unang gabi pa lang ay ipinaramdam na kaagad ni Drew ang disgusto sa kanya. Malayo siya sa mga babaeng nakakasalamuha nito. Sino nga ba ang magnanais sa isang tulad niyang hindi nakapagtapos ng pag-aaral, payat at hindi masyadong kagandahan? Ngunit determinado siya na ipaglaban ang kasunduan kay Drew kaysa bumalik sa tahanan ng mga Martin na umabuso sa kanya.

Matapos makipag-divorce ng asawa niya, umuwi si Radleigh Anaji sa probinsya para makapag-isip ngunit nagulo ang sistema niya nang makita niya ang inaanak na mala-anghel ang ganda. He instantly became strict and possessive ninong, not letting any guy near Bea nor talk to her. Ngunit nang magkaroon ng emergency ang kumpanyang pagmamay-ari niya, kinailangan niyang bumalik sa Maynila para asikasuhin 'yon. Nalungkot si Bea Afaro nang umalis ang ninong niya na nagiging malapit na sa kanya at aminin man niya o hindi, alam niya sa sarili ang nararamdaman niya rito kahit bawal. Sa kagustuhang makalimot, nakipagsapalaran siya sa Maynila. Mag-isa siyang naghanap ng trabaho, pilit ibinabaon sa limot ang ninong niya lalo na nang sumabog ang balita na ikakasal ulit ito. Pero paano kung magtagpo ulit ang landas nila? Hindi lang bilang magninong? Kundi bilang magkatrabaho kung saan ang boss niya ay ang ninong niya? Magawa pa kaya niyang umiwas at labanan ang nararamdaman?

Hindi ako nagkamali sa nakita ko, alam ko siya ‘yon. Hinding-hindi ako magkakamali pagdating sa kanya. “Daddy!” it was a heart melting voice who called me. “There you are!” I said as I carry my son. I can’t do anything; it pains me seeing her walk away. I want to ask how her life is going, if she has someone new, if it’s still me. I really wanted to hear her talk, see her smile, and met her eyes once again. “Babe? Let’s go,” A soft voice called me, Solange. I turned my gaze in her direction once again, but I lost her… again. Ang pakiramdam na pilit kayong pinaglalayo ng mga alon ay sobrang sakit. Animo’y protektado siya ng malalakas at matatayog na alon kaya hindi malapitan dahil pilit kang itinataboy nito papunta sa dalampasigan. She’s an ocean wave that I can’t keep, an ocean wave that I can only see and admire from afar. ‘Till next time…
