SERENDIPITY

UNIVERSITY SERIES #4

SERENDIPITY
A chance encounter for the better.
In the right place at the right time.

AMBER LEIGH ONG. She's one of those 'typical' girls that breathing for good cause in a university. Rich, famous, top tier, and off limits just because you're so out of their league. That's her. The drop-dead gorgeous, luxurious fashion icon from Medical department. Her name is everywhere. It's loud and known. Walang hindi nakakakilala sa kanya. Malapit siya sa lahat. Pinag-uusapan. Pinagkakaguluhan. Pinag-aagawan. At sinisiraan. Because behind her exquisite beauty and perfection is an evil heart wrecker.

Amber was an only child. She lost her mom the same day she was born. Her grandmother passed away the same day her man—who she thought she was going to marry—left her for no reason. Her dad remarried, and she was feeling opted out. Nevertheless, she was still Amber Ong who had everything and could do anything. Brave and independent. Nothing had changed. She was an empty shell.

Nobody knew. No one could understand.

But what if, in a most unexpected moment, someone showed up? To save her. To take her home. Someone she never imagined could fascinate her badly.

She had two options.

Pass or play?

Would she pass and give her heart a chance to fall again?

Or would she play 'till she wins?

CYPRIXILLE PERSEPHONE LEE. Ang babaeng kanin ang comfort food. Hazel eyes, caramel brown hair, light wispy bangs, dimple na hindi kita, at ngumingiting mga mata. Yan ang pagkakakilanlan niya kapag nakasalubong mo siya. Hindi katangkaran, hindi rin naman kaliitan. Kayang-kaya ka niya pa ring itumba. Isa si Cyprixille sa maraming tao na may pangarap sa buhay at gagawin niya ang lahat matupad lang ito. Iyon nga lang, medyo kakaiba sa normal itong hangarin niya. Pangarap niya ang mamatay ng mayaman. Di bale nang single basta mayaman.

'Single 'till death do its part,' medyo weird pero yan ang tema niya. Jowang-jowa pero ayaw namang magkajowa. Hindi naman sa ayaw niyang magmahal. Hindi rin naman sa walang nagkakagusto sa kanya. Choosy lang talaga siya. Maganda na, cute pa, kaya alam niyang may karapatan siyang mag-inarte at maging pihikan. Gusto niya'y sa tamang tao agad. Sa tamang panahon, at sa pagkakataong hindi niya inaasahan. She wanted a love story that was beautiful enough to share. Ayaw niya ng cheesy. Ayaw niya ng cliché. Gusto niya tama lang basta maipagmamayabang. She had her own boundaries. She knew her limit. Alam niya kung sino ang papapasukin sa buhay niya at kung sino ang hanggang silip lang.

Ngunit gaano nga ba kahigpit ang seguridad niya? Gaano siya kaingat sa pagbabantay ng puso niya? Paano kung may nakapasok na pala at huli na para paalisin pa?

Would she take the risk—

or just let it slip away?

But one thing for sure—Persephone was way too smart to choose one.
