Isagani had always been a dreamer, lost in his own world of poetry and imagination. Every day, he would sit by the window of his small apartment, watching as life unfolded on the bustling streets of Manila. His heart yearned for a love that seemed just out of reach.
One rainy afternoon, Isagani found himself in a crowded cafe seeking solace from the torrents outside. There, amid the chaos, he noticed a delicate woman named Liwayway, her name meaning "dawn," an apt description of her ethereal beauty. Her melancholy gaze captivated Isagani, setting his heart ablaze with longing.
Unbeknownst to Isagani, Liwayway lived with her Bestfriend, Milagrosa. Though Milagrosa exuded an air of quiet strength, her eyes held an unmistakable sadness. She had loved before, but life's cruel twists had left her heartbroken and cautious. It was her duty to protect Liwayway, even if it meant keeping her bestfriend from experiencing the pain of love.
Flashback of Milagrosa.
" Eliot please, don't leave me! I'm begging you!"
Said milagrosa while begging eliot continously.
" Kahit na magmaka-awa ka pa ng ilang beses, i will still leave you.
Besides, why can't you understand na iba na yung mahal ko?"
Replied, Eliot while looking down to Milagrosa.
" Why can't you love me Eliot? Ako yung nandito para sayo diba?
Sabi mo pa nga dati mahal mo ko ng buong puso."
Said Milagrosa, while sobbing intensely.
" Dati yun milagrosa! Dati! "
Eliot said while screaming at milagrosa who's crying while she's getting rain poured on her whole body.
"Ok naman tayo diba Eliot? Mahal natin isa't isa kaso bakit ka biglang nagbago?"
Cried Milagrosa.
" People change. "
Eliot coldly said.
End of flashback.
Until this day, that trauma lived with Milagrosa.
