A rather unfortunate event brings Steve and Celine’s paths together. An airplane crash leads them towards the same place while searching for two different people--Celine for her husband Frank who was then flying the aircraft turned to rubbles; and Steve for a fugitive who was reported to be one of the same plane’s passengers. It is a truly devastating event for Celine; and to further add injury to her loss, she once and for all discovers from her husbands recovered belongings that he is in fact the father of Astrud’s son, Ringgo. With Frank’s body nowhere to be found, Celine is then left with no other choice but to assume that her husband is finally dead. Now that she’s a widow, she once and for all decides to move on with her life. Surprisingly, her goal is made easy by Steve’s sudden entry in her life; but unfortunately, their love affair is immediately cut short by Frank’s rather unexpected return.
To Frank’s delight, Celine gets pregnant; but surprisingly, the latter isn’t exactly as excited as he is. Apparently, she is pretty certain that the kid in her womb isn’t Frank’s--it is actually Steve’s. On the other hand, Steve somehow gets a kid of his own. Incidentally, he meets a poor orphan in Cebu named Robbie; and while waiting for the kid’s elder sister Celina to fly back home, he volunteers to temporarily adopt him. Surprisingly, aside from finding Robbie’s legal guardian upon Celina’s return, Steve also ends up finding himself a loving wife. Celine tries her best to be a good mother to Gwen; but to her dismay, her daughter only ends up hating her than ever. Apparently, Astrud’s plan to subtly win Gwen’s confidence is a raging success; surprisingly, the young lady even admits to her that she would rather have her as a mom over Celine.
