Just a few days before my wedding, I accidentally come across a post while scrolling online. The title reads, "To the guy getting married in this city, your fiancée's already cheated on you." Curious, I click in to see the gossip, only to realize I'm the one being talked about. A deep male voice plays in the video. "I heard you're getting married?" The woman in the frame, bare-backed and trembling, chokes back a sob. "After you left, I realized you're still the one I love most. I'm done with him. Take me away, please!" The moment I hear her voice, it feels like someone punches me straight in the chest. Then I notice something on her wrist—the luxury couple's bracelet I gave her just yesterday. And in that instant, I feel like the biggest joke of all. Turns out the fool was me.

Walang ibang gusto si Becky kundi ang makarating ng ibang bansa lalong lalo na sa Amerika. Simula ng bata pa siya at makabasa siya ng tungkol sa mga Pilipinong nag a-abroad at gumanda ang buhay kaya siya nag umpisang mangarap. Kaya naman ng magkaroon siya ng chatmate na Kano na nagpapahiwatig sa kanyang gusto siya nito ay dun siya nabuhayan ng dugo na mangarap ulit. Lalo na ng magsabi itong handa daw itong puntahan siya sa Pilipinas para makipagkilala at personal siyang ligawan. Maayos na sana ang lahat maliban lamang sa isang problema: buong akala ng Kano ay seksi siya. Kung noong bata pa siya ay chubby na siya ay mas dumoble pa ata ang pagtaba niya ngayong nagdalaga na siya. Isa ito sa dahilan kung bakit lagi siyang inaasar na mataba ng kapitbahay niya mula pagkabatang si Brix; na siya namang nag-alok sa kanya na tutulungan daw siyang magpapayat kapalit ng pagiging modelo ng gym na pag-aari niya. Galit man siya dito ay pumayag na rin siya alang alang sa pangarap niyang makarating sa Amerika. Kasabay ng pagpapapayat niya ay ang unti-unting pagkawala ng galit niya kay Brix. Ang puso niyang dati'y nababalutan ng kolesterol ay nagsisimula ng tumibok para sa binatang wala ng ibang ginawa noon kundi asarin siya. Mababago kaya nito ang matagal na pangarap niyang makapunta ng ibang bansa?
