Plot

On a Pasig River ferry boat, Allan, a passenger, is sad and confused about whether he really loves his then-live-in partner, Daphne, while another passenger, Mia, is downtrodden by family problems. To express her heartache, Mia writes messages on stones and leaves them anywhere. Allan happens to pick up several of those, prompting them to get acquainted when one day, he thinks she is about to commit suicide due to something she wrote in one of the stones.

Later, in one of their trysts, they met an old man in Paco Park who predicted that they were meant for each other and would end up together, although it would take a difficult five-year ride. Allan is torn between two loves. Although he knows that he loves Mia more, he procrastinates in his choice.

Mia leaves for Malaysia. Two years later, Allan finally breaks free from his indecision and goes to Malaysia to look for Mia only to find out that she is already engaged to someone else. It is now Mia's turn to make a choice. She chooses the other guy who loves her so much and the one she knows could help her support her family, even though she honestly knows in her heart that she still loves Allan.

Allan does not lose hope and patiently waits for Mia for another three years. He firmly believes that she will return to him as the old man had predicted. True enough, the Malaysian guy lets Mia go as he is aware of who Mia truly loves. On the very same date foreseen by the old man, Mia returns to the Philippines, sees Allan waiting for her, and embrace each other.
