Intro. Aiah Arceta, a guarded artist, has always rejected Mikhael Lim, a kind and persistent man who secretly harbors feelings for her. Despite their long history as friends, Aiah keeps her distance, afraid of vulnerability due to past emotional scars. Mikhael, though hurt by her rejections, continues to approach her with genuine affection, hoping one day she’ll see him for who he truly is.
However, after a series of rejections, Mikhael begins to withdraw. He stops texting, stops reaching out, and no longer makes an effort to be part of her life. Aiah, initially indifferent, starts noticing the absence of his presence. His absence forces her to confront the walls she’s built around her heart and question whether she’s been too quick to push him away.
As the silence grows, Aiah realizes how much Mikhael meant to her, but by the time she’s ready to admit it, Mikhael’s feelings have cooled, and he’s no longer the man she once knew.
