Sandra (Maricel Soriano) is a wedding planner[3] whose sisters Lorraine (Rita Avila), Bessie (Maila Gumila) are now married. On the wedding day of her sister Cathy (Julia Clarete), she met a young real estate agent Eric Robles (Diether Ocampo).[3] With the help of her gay friend Jojo (Raymond Bagatsing), the two started a budding relationship despite their age gap and live-in. However, Sandra's family does not agree with Eric because he is too young for Sandra. Eric then became close to Sandra's employee Lisa (Claudine Barretto).[3] When Sandra decided to go to the United States, Eric confessed that he loves Lisa, but Lisa rejects Eric's love because it's not right. When Sandra came back, she loved Eric more, but she would find out about Eric and Lisa's relationship. This causes Lisa to resign from her job and Eric to be kicked out. Sandra then confessed to Jojo that she is pregnant, but became depressed because she was left by Eric. Eric returned and asked for forgiveness to Sandra, which she accepted. Sandra also told Eric that he would not deprive her child to him and she said that she could be happy alone.
