The Sweetest Scheme of Fate (Defying Fate Trilogy #1)

Chapter 1: Weary Heart

Chapters 1 to 10 - Hannah

Ang sabi nila, lahat daw tayo ay nakatadhanang magmahal. Lahat tayo ay nakatadhanang mahulog ang loob para sa isang tao. At karamihan sa atin ay nakatadhanang may makasama pang-habambuhay. 'Yun nga lang ay iba't iba ang paraan kung paano natin makikilala ang taong nakalaan para sa atin.

Mayroong bigla na lang darating sa buhay mo at guguluhin ang napakatahimik mong buhay.

Mayroon din namang love at first sight na kahit unang beses mo pa lang siyang nakita ay nakaramdam ka na kaagad ng sparks.

Ang iba naman ay makailang ulit munang nasaktan bago nila nahanap ang taong karapat-dapat para sa kanila. 'Yung tipong akala nila ay 'yung kasalukuyang karelasyon na nila ang makakatuluyan nila pero may iba pa pala na mas worth it after that chapter of their lives.

Some would even go finding their perfect match but they would end up with someone who's a total opposite of their dream partner. That's one of the sneaky things about love, I guess.

May iba rin naman na halos isumpa mo siya sa una dahil wala na siyang ginawa kung hindi sirain ang araw mo at inisip mo na sana ay marunong ka na lang mangkulam para kinulam mo na siya dahil sa sobrang bwisit mo sa existence niya pero eventually, hindi mo napapansing unti-unti ka na palang nahuhulog para sa kanya.

At minsan, hindi mo alam na matagal na palang nasa tabi mo ang taong para sa'yo at naghihintay lang siya ng panahong mapansin mo ang nararamdaman niya para sa'yo pero nabubulag ka lang nang dahil sa mga kababawan nang ginagalawan mong komunidad. 'Yung tipong buong buhay mo ay kasama mo siya pero hindi mo kaagad naisip na siya na pala ang matagal mong hinihintay na tadhana.

Tadhana. Sa Ingles ay fate.

They say, let fate lead you to love. A love that's full of uncertainties. The uncertainties caused by fate.

But, I do not buy it.

Nakakaloka kasi, hindi ba? Bakit mo naman kasi hahayaang umikot sa kung ano ang itinakda ng kapalaran ang buhay mo? Bakit ka naman makukuntento sa kung ano lang ang itinakda ng tadhana para sa'yo?

We are up to this world to experience love at its full glory. And I am not letting myself to completely bend on to what the will of fate has for me. I promised to myself that when I love, I would be strong enough to endure all the pains and struggles that might come along the way.

But fate, has other plans for me. And I realized that it's really hard to defy its will for agony and misery comes to those who tussle with it.

It was the start of our summer vacation and I was actually looking forward to spend most of the summer season with my boyfriend. I was so excited when he called me an hour ago to see him in a park where we always go on a date. I nearly flew just to get there in the fastest time possible, so excited for what I thought our date. But to my greatest dismay, what I supposed was too far from what he had told me.

"I'm breaking up with you," he said seriously and I looked at him in astonishment. "This relationship is going nowhere," he added, almost in a whisper, and I felt myself shiver.

"Louie--" I started to say but was cut off when he spoke again.

"I'm tired of us. Sawa na ako at pagod na pagod na ako."

"Pero--"

"Denisse, let's end this relationship. Wala na tong patutunguhan." He sighed and I clenched my fists.

"Hindi kita maintindihan," I murmured. "Okay naman tayo, hindi ba? Ayos naman tayong dalawa and I am very sure na wala naman tayong problema. The last time I checked, our relationship is smoothly flowing. So, I do not understand why the hell are you breaking up with me!" I uttered trying to stop my tears from falling.
