Walang choice si Darine kundi tumakas. Dahil sa ipapakasal siya ng kanyang Lolo sa apo ng kanyang matalik na kaibigan. Handa niyang iwan ang lahat, pagod na rin siya lagi siyang kinokontrol ng kanyang Lolo. Ang mahalaga ay hindi siya makasal sa taong hindi niya kilala. Jasper Guillermo, 34 years old. Business Tycoon, wala sa kanyang vocabulary na mag-asawa mula ng niloko siya ng unang babaeng minahal. Kung hindi niya masunod ang kagustuhan ng kanyang Lolo ay mawawala sa kanya ang kumpanya na inaalagaan niya. Dahil labag kay Jasper ang kagustuhan ng kanyang magulang kaya gumawa siya ng sariling paraan. Hindi siya papayag kung ano gusto ng kanyang Lolo ay masusunod. Yes mahalaga sa kanya ang kumpanya pero hindi siya papayag pagdating sa sarili niyang buhay ay panghimasukan ng kanyang magulang lalo na ang kanyang Lolo. Pagkalipas ng isang linggo ay muling nagtagpo ang landas ni Jasper at Darine. Naglakas loob si Darine na kausapin ang binata kung pwede siya nitong tulungan. Hindi naman nagddalawang isip ang binata tinulungan niya si Darine. "Be my girlfriend sa harapan ng mga magulang ko," sabi niya kay Darine. Paano kung nasa kay Darine ang katangian na taglay na hinahanap ni Jasper sa babae? Kaya bang panindigan ni Jasper ang lumabas sa bibig niya na hindi niya kayang lumagay sa tahimik? Isip o puso ba ang susundin ni Jasper? Paano kung ang darating ang isang araw na ang lalaking pinakamamahal ni Darine ay bigla siya nitong hindi maalala. Kung sino ba si Darine sa buhay niya? Matatanggap ba ni Darine ang biglang pagbabago ni Jasper sa kanya? Lalo na ibang-iba na sa dati ang pakikitungo ni Jasper sa kanya.
