Synopsis [edit]
A simple girl, Maya dela Rosa (Jodi Sta. Maria), her older sister, Cristina Rose, and Cristina's son are introduced as tour guides in their hometown of San Nicolas, with their mother runs a souvenir shop. Money is often less than the living expenses and household repairs. Cristina Rose hopes to work at sea, while Maya dreams of becoming a flight stewardess. One rainy night, after an attempt to fix the roof, Cristina breaks her leg and is thus unable to complete her schooling to become a seafarer. With a large medical bill, Maya deems it necessary to work overseas for two years to help her family. Upon arrival in Manila, Maya discovers that the woman who had offered work overseas had swindled her. Maya is stuck in Manila with no money or place to go. Relentless, Maya allows no one to stop her, not even the handsome, wealthy widower Richard Lim (Richard Yap), who reminds her of her shortcomings.
Ironically, Richard is her last hope because of his influence in the airline industry. He offers Maya to become his youngest daughter's (who has selective mutism) temporary nanny in exchange for his help. Maya agrees to become a maid and nanny in his household. Upon entering the Lim home, she finds herself involved in the private lives of Richard and his three problematic children: Luke (Jerome Ponce) Nikki (Janella Salvador) Abby (Mutya Orquia)
Maya realizes that since Richard's wife died, the family's joy died with her; hence their problems. Maya is tasked to bridge Richard to his children and eventually she succeeds in rebuilding the family. However, in repairing their broken hearts, Maya encounters bigger challenges that test her determination and, more importantly, her heart. While fulfilling her obligation, she falls in love with the Lim children and, admittedly, with Richard.
It is a simple, innocent and wholesome love story between Richard (her ex-boss) and Maya, a poor girl from the village. A spirited, kind-hearted, warm and dignified young lady. Beautiful, too. She always has a positive outlook towards life. She fumbles she cries, she gives her heart to Richard's children and finally opens it to accept the love of her ex-employer.
I have never watched a Filipino drama series. I started to watch it when Ikram was home as that was the time when I came home with his lunch. So, we watched the programme (3:00 - 400pm every Mondays to Thursdays on TV3) and got hooked with the drama series. Ha..ha..ha.. :-D)). Whenever I came home late due to extra classes in school, meetings or co-curriculum activities, I would catch up the missed episodes on tonton.com. I never thought I would be so caught up in their problems and it always made me smile and felt good with the story.
The series is in Filipino and English languages but it has sub-titles. The actors are attractive, the child is adorable, Maya is lovely and Richard is handsome. It is a relaxing drama series and there is no hatred or fighting jealousy as in Malay dramas. Who knows how many episodes it consists of. Nevertheless, once Ikram is back in his campus, my interest will slowly wane and I will forget to watch it as I do not usually take lunch on my own. The TV is hardly on during the day time. So, I hope you have enjoyed the video of the soundtrack of the drama. It is beautiful with meaningful lyrics. Catch the drama if you wish .... at least it will make you smile. Or is it only the sentimental, undying romantic me? :-))
