## Plot

In Manila, a feline named Nimfa Dimaano visits Manghuhula, an octopus fortune teller who divines that Nimfa will fall in love with two men at the same time. Nimfa works as a perfume salesperson at a mall department store, and is dating a muscular mongrel named Roger Europeo, who is a janitor. That night, Nimfa and Roger eat stew at a kiosk that they frequently visit. Roger casually proposes marriage to Nifma and she declines, noting their lack of money. He suggests that Nimfa, who pays for their rent, stop paying for her sister Linda's school tuition, but she refuses, saying that she does not want her sister to be a dropout.

While selling perfume at work one day, Nimfa is approached by Iñigo Villanueva, a wealthy dog with a career as a high-profile entrepreneur. Nimfa helps Iñigo pick out a luxury perfume to give to his mother as a gift for her birthday. Iñigo suggests that he and Nimfa go out on a date, and gives her his business card. After work, Nimfa finds herself irritated by Roger, and rejects his sexual advances that night. At Iñigo's mother's birthday dinner, Iñigo gives her the present, which she unwraps to find a cheap cologne. Realizing that Nimfa gave him the wrong item, Iñigo finds Nimfa on social media and messages her about the mistake. They arrange to meet and have the cologne returned, and after doing so, Iñigo drives Nimfa home.

For their anniversary, Roger takes Nimfa to the stew kiosk. Nimfa ignores her meal, instead texting flirtatiously with Iñigo; the attention she gives to her phone causes Roger to feel suspicious. Later, Iñigo visits Nimfa at her job to pick up the correct perfume. He is accompanied by a female poodle named Marie, which makes Nimfa jealous. The next day, Iñigo brings Nimfa to a lavish seaside property in Batangas, wanting her to be his secretary for the day. When he insists that she spend the night, Nimfa calls her friend, a rabbit named Jhermelyn, and asks her to tell Roger that she is staying with her that night. After dinner, Nimfa walks in on Iñigo showering, and the two decide to have sex.

The following day, Iñigo flies with Nimfa back to Manila in a helicopter. They visit Iñigo's mother and give her the correct perfume, and Iñigo drives Nimfa back home. Roger angrily confronts Nimfa for cheating on him, as Jhermelyn told him that Nimfa was not with her the previous night. Nimfa kicks Roger out of the house. The day after, Nimfa arranges to meet Iñigo at the high-rise building where he works. Roger appears and pummels Iñigo's car, believing Iñigo to be inside it. In reality, Iñigo's valet, a frog named Jerry, was the only one in the vehicle. Roger is placed in a prison cell, and Nimfa arranges for him to be released. She then visits Jerry, who was brought to a hospital.

Nimfa travels to the countryside for an unannounced visit with her sister Linda and their mother. There, she discovers that Linda has not been going to school, and is instead raising a baby with her partner Ramil. Upset, Nimfa returns to Batangas with Iñigo. Feeling nauseous the next morning, Nimfa checks in at a hospital and learns that she is nine weeks pregnant. Having only been with Iñigo for three weeks, she realizes that Roger is the baby's father. She visits Jhermelyn and is stunned to discover that Jhermelyn is now dating Roger. After calling a radio show to talk about her problems, Nimfa visits Iñigo's building and, upon seeing him with Marie, furiously knocks him out of a window.

After leaving the building, a recovered Jerry sees Nimfa and takes her to the stew kiosk for a meal. Some time later, Nimfa gives birth to her child, and opens up her own sari-sari store.
