OFFICIAL WATTPAD ENGLISH TRANSLATION She spent her life giving pieces of herself away. He was the first to ask her to keep something for herself. *** A devoted psychiatrist, Vina has spent her life putting her family first, leaving little space for herself. When Calix, a former college schoolmate who has quietly cared for her for years, reenters her world and becomes part of her daily life, old familiarity turns into something deeper. But love is not simple when expectations, grief, and personal battles collide. As both are forced to confront wounds they never meant to carry, distance and healing take them on separate paths. In the quiet spaces between loss and hope, they must decide whether love is strong enough to find its way back. COVER DESIGN: Rayne Mariano

Tumili silang lahat nang sabay sabay naming nakita sa bulletin board ang pangalan ko. Samantalang unti-unti namang napawo ang ngiti ko habang tinitingnan ang listahan ng mga may pinakamalaking QPI. I was sure I did so well. It isn't a question if I made the list or not because I know I will always make it. Kaya nga nakangiti na ako kanina pa dahil siguradong sigurado ako. Kaso ngayon...nawalan na nang tuluyan ang ngiti ko. Because I know that I do not hold the top spot of the dean's list, and to me...this is the worst.

Started: 04/27/2021 Ended: 08/24/2021 Ang hirap palang tumanda. Ang hirap magbayad ng bills. Ang hirap suportahan ng pamilyang akala ay isang milyon ang suweldo mo. Ang hirap ngumiti sa nanay na mataas ang tingin sa'yo pero hindi ka kayang ipagtanggol. Ang hirap tabihan sa hapagkainan ng tatay na pinag-uubusan mo ng pera pero hindi ka maalala. Ang hirap mag-abot ng tulong sa kapatid na baon sa utang. Ang hirap intindihin ng hipag na nakakapagpa-rebond pa kahit kapos na kapos na. Ang hirap pakisamahan ng bunsong halos ilahad ang mga palad tuwing makikita ka. Ang hirap ngitian ng mga taong tanong nang tanong kung bakit hindi ka pa nakakapag-asawa. Ang hirap humarap sa mundong isasampal sa'yo na mag-isa ka. Tulong, bigay, utang. Isang iling mo lang, madamot ka na. Kasama mo sila kapag may maibibigay ka, pero hindi mo sila mahahanap kapag wala na. Ikaw ang kakayod, sila ang tutuka. Ikaw ang iiyak sa pagod, sila ang magtatamasa. Iyon ang summary ng buhay ko. Sobra-sobra ang naririnig na paghingi, kulang na kulang ang naririnig na pasasalamat. Sobra-sobra ang pagpapasensya, kulang na kulang ang natatanggap na pagpapahalaga. Sobra-sobra ang binabayaran, kulang na kulang sa kasiyahan. Kaya nang dumating sa buhay ko ang nag-iisang lalaking hindi ako nakita bilang naglalakad na alkansya, ang nag-iisang lalaking nakinig sa mahabang listahan ko ng problema, ang nag-iisang lalaking nagbigay sa akin ng kakaibang saya, ipinangako ko sa sarili na sa gitna ng hirap ng pagtanda, magtitiis ako basta't siya ang kasama. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay pagtalikod sa minahal na pamilya. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay paglaban sa mundong pinatatakbo ng kapangyarihan at pera. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay ang pagdurusa't pag-iisa. Siya ang ginhawa, pahinga, at kasiyahan ko. Dumating man ang araw na tanaw ko na ang dulo. Dumating man ang araw na wala na kaming sagot sa lahat ng bakit at paano. Dumating man ang araw na pareho na kaming talo.
