Two boys, Ersel and Lino, were childhood best friends for three years. One day, while Lino went to visit his grandparents with his parents for several days, Ersel suddenly goes to Manila with his parents without even leaving a word or letter, making the former sad and angry. Ten years later, the two suddenly meet again as college students. How will Ersel make up to Lino for disappearing without a word ten years before? Will their friendship go back to the way it was? Or will their meeting trigger a new emotion - love?

Back to Our Paradise

That Sunday morning, it took Lino about thirty minutes to get from their family house to the Jollibee restaurant where he was supposed to meet up with Pia. He managed to spot Pia almost immediately near the entrance of the restaurant and waved at her. 


“Lino!” Pia called out cheerfully upon seeing her handsome boyfriend. 


Lino quickly approached and hugged his pretty girlfriend and said, “Finally! We’ve met again! I missed you so much, Pia! It’s been a while!” 


“Me too, Lino!” Pia exclaimed in excitement. “How have you been?” 


“Just fine!” Lino replied with a smirk while looking at his girlfriend’s eyes. “And you?” 


“I’m okay too,” Pia replied while grinning. “So, shall we order some food now?” 


Lino nodded and said, “Yes! Let’s go inside, babe!”

“Thank you, miss!” Lino said before proceeding to go back to the table where he and his girlfriend were seated.
