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

Lino continued to follow Ersel while the former was being very careful to not be noticed by the latter. Lino knew that since Ersel had already seen the former in a disguised form, the latter might become suspicious upon seeing the former following the latter. That was why at that moment, Lino knew that he needed to hide every time that Ersel would peek or turn behind himself. 


[I have to hide whenever Ersel turns around or even peeks from behind.] Lino thought both decidedly and determinedly. [I can’t let him see or recognize me.] 


However, at that time, it was already dark except for some street lights and occasional lights coming from some vehicles, so Lino also knew that he had to use that to his advantage to not let Ersel recognize the former. He also knew that it would be fine as long as he kept some distance and that he would not be under a street light once Ersel would turn around.
