Plot

An intriguing revelation from a fortune teller leaves the spoiled Bamba restless to meet her destined lover. One day, the anxious Bamba comes across the humble taxi driver Rafael after their vehicles collide on the street. To make up for Bamba’s blunder, Bamba’s father offers the poor Rafael to work as his daughter’s bodyguard. Being the snotty brat she is, Bamba punishes Rafael by bossing him around and embarrassing him in front of her friends. Through it all, however, Bamba suddenly finds herself irresistibly falling in love with Rafael — the one man who has patiently put up with all her mischief. The only hurdle to Bamba and Rafael’s love story, though, is the secret Bamba has been keeping from everybody all her life – even to her beloved Rafael. Will this secret ruin the chance for Bamba to be with her fated partner?
