Rainan Alon, a well-known architect, had built a successful career in the bustling city of Makati, establishing himself as one of the most respected figures in his field. With years of hard work and dedication, he had achieved everything he had ever dreamed of—fame, fortune, and respect. Yet, everything changed in an instant when he was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer.
Facing an uncertain future with only months to live, Rainan makes the difficult decision to leave behind the life he knows in the city and return to his hometown of San Felino, a small province where memories of the past still linger. There, he seeks closure, hoping to reconcile with old friends, mend broken relationships, and make amends for the choices that led him to this moment. Among those he wants to apologize to are Mikaela, his childhood best friend, and Angelo, her twin brother, whom Rainan secretly loved but left behind when he chose ambition over love.
As Rainan returns to San Felino, he must confront the past he tried to escape, while also dealing with the fragile time he has left. Can he rebuild the friendships that meant so much to him? Will he have the courage to confess the feelings he once hid? And as he faces the reality of his illness, will he find peace before it’s too late?
This is a story of love, regret, redemption, and the fragile nature of life—a journey of self-discovery and a search for closure in the face of mortality.
