ARTISTS:
John Lloyd & Bea Alonzo

SYNOPSIS:

She loved me at my worst, you had me at my best...and you chose to break my heart The famous line from the kilig movie of the year! For any one who has ever loved...and lost.

Popoy (John Lloyd Cruz) and Basha (Bea Alonzo) have been together forever.

Their love story started when they met as students in the university. Popoy was taking up Engineering while Basha was a freshman in Architecture. They have been inseparable ever since - they did everything together may it be eating, studying or attending parties. Their families loved them, they shared friends, they eventually worked in the same firm and their life plans revolved around each other. There is no Popoy without a Basha and vice versa. In short, they were certain that they will get married someday and build a home together -literally and figuratively. Architect Basha will design and plan their dream house while Engineer Popoy will be the one to build it. Everything is perfect.

At least that is what Popoy thinks.

But all the planning and dreaming eventually took a toll on Basha. Tired of trying to carve her own mark in the firm where they are both working, she suddenly tells him that she wants to resign and move to a smaller firm where she can be given a bigger chance to design on her own. She is tired of Popoy and their relationship. She feels that Popoy is all over her and that she hasn't been given the opportunity to decide and plan for herself because Popoy already did everything. Popoy is speechless. Inside, he is devastated. That same night, Basha asks for a break up. She tells him she needs the space to grow. On her own.

Not knowing how to pick himself up after the love of his life leaves him, Popoy struggles to live his new life alone. Meanwhile, Basha resigns and transfers to a smaller firm where she begins to feel the freedom she's been longing for.

Slowly, Popoy learns to pick up the pieces and discovers a life that he can call his own. But Basha's journey proved to be more difficult especially when she sees Popoy starting to see other girls. A part of her wants to get him back but a part also knows that she was the one who asked for this.

Opportunity knocks when Popoy's aunt commissions them to build her house together. After feeling awkward around each other, Popoy and Basha eventually warm up. After all, five years of being together is hard to erase. Slowly and unconsciously, they fall into their old routines and find themselves enjoying each other's company once again. Both realize how much they've missed each other yet both also recognize how much they've changed.

But Popoy knows too well that giving in would mean going back to how they were before. And he's way too scared to get in the way of Basha's growth once again, especially now

One day, Richard attends a stag party of his friend and Marianne pops out of a cake. (Marianne was only a stand in for that gig…she does not really dance at stag parties except this one instance due to money problems.) Being drunk, he hounds her and kisses her and is surprised when she slaps him. She storms out of the stag party but not before demanding full payment for her services.

Meanwhile, Mark (Richard’s best friend from childhood) comes home from a month long trip from the US . He reveals to Richard that he has a girlfriend but he is not ready to introduce her to his other friends and family because he is ashamed of her lower social status. But he tells Richard that his girlfriend is a very decent girl and that he will introduce her to him. When they are introduced, Richard is shocked to find out that Marianne is the girlfriend of Mark! He does not reveal to Mark, though, that Marianne was the stripper at the stag party he attended. But deep inside, he doubts whether Marianne is being honest and transparent to Mark about her real character. Richard bides his time and decides to probe some more about Marianne’s true character before blowing her cover. Marianne, on the other hand, is nervous because she is afraid that Richard might reveal her secret to Mark.

News of the stag party incident reaches Isabel and she breaks up with Richard. Richard’s ego is hurt and he vows to do whatever it takes to win back Isabel. Mark suggests that he get a girl to pose as his new girlfriend to make Isabel jealous.

When Mark flies back to the US to finish some business deals, Richard decides to blackmail Marianne into pretending to be his gf to make Isabel jealous. He tells her that he will tell Mark about the stag party incident if she does not cooperate. Marianne, scared to lose Mark, knows that no amount of reasoning will convince Richard at this point that what she did was only out of desperation so she reluctantly agrees.

SO the charades begin. Once Richard and Marianne spend more time together, they slowly find out that they share the same interests…and they get to know each other more deeply. Soon, without meaning to, they fall in love. But their plan backfires and Isabel decides to run back to Richard. More problems arise when Mark comes home and finds out about what Richard and Marianne did.
