Devastated, she meets Raffy who works at a PR agency hired by the father of the groom to help her move on, so that Randy will win the mayoral election when the public "forgives" him, once Aprilyn forgives him. As the storyline unfolds, it is revealed that both Aprilyn and Raffy were marked by a childhood in which they each had a parent who went overseas to work, leaving each of them impaired in their relationship abilities.
