Hold Me Today

" YOLO " is her life motto. Sa edad na bente tres anyos, walang ginawa si Devon Valencia kundi ang magpakasaya sa buhay at waldasin ang perang ibinibigay sa kaniya ng ama. Wala siyang pangarap sa buhay—o kung mayroon man, hindi niya iyon alam at wala rin siyang balak alamin dahil alam niyang siya rin naman ang hahawak sa negosyo ng pamilya nila pagdating ng araw. Young, wild and free. Literal ang pagiging malaya ng isang Devon Valencia para gawin ang lahat ng gusto niya. Sa isang pitik lang ng daliri niya, nasa kamay na niya ang hinahangad niyang makuha, maliban na lamang ang atensyon ng isang binatang kabaliktaran ng ugaling mayroon siya. Isang maginoo,responsable at matipunong lalaki, Pablo Santino Regalado. Isang magsasaka na ang tanging hangad ay maiahon sa hirap ang kaniyang magulang. Sa edad na bente sais, naka-plano na ang gusto niyang mangyari sa buhay dahil maaga siyang namulat kung gaano kalupit ang realidad. Nakahanda siyang gawin ang lahat maibigay lang ang buhay na ipinangako niya sa pamilya. Ngunit sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon, nagkaroon ng pagtatalo ang isip niya nang alukin siya ng isang trabaho na may magandang suweldo at wala siyang ibang gagawin kundi ang bumuntot sa magiging amo niya. Kung tutuusin, walang nakikitang problema ang binata sa pagiging isang bodyguard dahil batak naman ang kaniyang katawan at nakasisiguro siyang kaya niyang gampanan nang maayos ang trabahong ibinibigay sa kaniya. Subalit 'yong ideya na isang matapobre ang dalagang babantayan niya, tila mas gugustuhin pa niyang makasama ang mga kalabaw na ilalim ng araw. Kapag binato ka ng tinapay, batuhin mo ng palaman. Kapag nahulog ka sa taong hindi nagpapakita ng interes sa'yo, siguraduhing may bitbit kang hagdan.
