Plot edit
Jose Bautista (Louise Abuel) grew away from his mother, father and siblings. He lived with his two grandmothers, Lola Ina and Lola Ebe. Jose didn't know the truth behind his identity that he was the son of Anita (Roxanne Guinoo) with another man, Roel (Joem Bascon). But due to the simple dream of Anita's whole family to have a child, she chose to marry Kamlon (Jhong Hilario) who promised Anita he will treat Jose like his real child. But Kamlon does not fulfill that promise and denies Jose. Because of their desperation to correct the mistakes, Ebe and Ina raised Jose with them.
Jose grew happy, obedient, and respectful. He never once questioned his separation from his family but he still longed to be with them one day too. Jose was satisfied and happy with his grandmothers until both of them died. Jose moves to his family's home and because of the lessons taught by them, he has to learned to be positive in life and live with the family he has not met. Anita has introduced Jose to his siblings, Boy (Micko Laurente), Maribel (Karla Cruz), Crisencio (Jon Michael) and Michael (Raikko Mateo), they are equally uncomfortable with him.
