Doctor Manalo's orders were simple: focus. But Yllana's heart had other plans and refused to obey. • Nurse x Doctor • She fell first, but she fell harder. - A YAHTISA FANFICTION - (written in TAGLISH)

a YAHTISA story Ahtisa Manalo, the current Miss Universe Philippines from Quezon Province, and Yllana Marie Aduana, her designated successor from Siniloan, Laguna, find themselves in a complicated dance of ambition and affection.

Y A H T I S A A U Wherein Yanaiah (Y) found Alisha's (A) wonderful Presence that makes her feel like she's valuable and not alone.

Ahtisa Manalo was supposed to be the star. The future CEO of their family's luxury resort empire, she spent months crafting the perfect rebrand-new look, new vision, new energy. But bookings were tanking. The resort, once exclusive and elite, was slowly being forgotten. Desperate, her Lola made a call to an old connection-Yllana Aduana's father. Now, Yllana-the country's reigning Miss Earth, high-fashion darling, media favorite-is being flown in as the new face of the resort. She gets the cameras, the luxury suite, the press coverage, and a fat paycheck. And Ahtisa? She's stuck playing tour guide. Not by choice, but by bloodline-Her lola's orders. Now the girl who should've been the resort's crown jewel is stuck escorting her pageant rival through every curated experience, influencer shoot, and press dinner... while swallowing the fact that she's been replaced. Yllana thinks it's funny. Ahtisa thinks it's war. But the island has other plans. Because one month in paradise? It's more than enough time to blur the line between hate and something else entirely.

Everyone joined for the crown. She didn't expect to fall for her biggest rival. Yllana was there to win-no distractions, no drama, and definitely no feelings. But Ahtisa had a smirk sharp enough to slice through even her most guarded moments. In the glitz and glamor of pageant life, what started as staged smiles and petty jabs turns into late-night glances, stolen touches, and a slow unraveling of what it means to want something... or someone more than the crown. And somewhere between rehearsals, viral tweets, and "just-for-the-fans" hugs- She realizes: maybe it was never about the title.

Ahtisa Manalo is an acclaimed actress, engaged to Marcus Arguelles-a charming, well-loved CEO. Their wedding is the talk of the city, and by all accounts, they're the perfect couple. Until Ahtisa meets Yllana Aduana, a captivating model who stirs something in her she's never felt before. What begins as harmless curiosity turns into quiet longing. Ahtisa tries to stay loyal. Yllana tries to stay distant. But neither can ignore the pull. They never meant to fall. They never meant to hurt anyone. But some connections are impossible to forget. A story of restraint, stolen glances, and love that blooms where it shouldn't-until it does.

Yllana was the kind of SSC officer who never read the minutes, submitted forms late, and somehow still got away with everything - mostly because she was too charming (and annoyingly pretty) to stay mad at for long. Ahtisa Manalo, on the other hand, was the university's beloved terror president: always early, always polished, clipboard in one hand and a deadline in the other. She ran meetings like a machine and didn't blink while shutting down entire project proposals. They were opposites in every possible way. But every Thursday, in every cramped conference room and chaotic event day, Yllana found new ways to test her President's patience - teasing her in front of the officers, whispering "Miss President, you good?" just to see her fluster. And Ahtisa, who prided herself on never cracking... started cracking. Started softening. Started falling - quietly, hopelessly - for the one girl she never planned to let close. What began as harmless teasing turned into glances that lingered too long, meetings that ended with shared Yakults, and touches that meant too much. Until the teasing stopped being a joke... and started feeling like a promise. This is the story of how the campus terror fell in love with the girl who never took anything seriously - except her. And maybe, eventually, the feeling was mutual. Or so we thought.

One crown. One promise broken. Yllana and Ahtisa were once in love-quietly, secretly, and far from the eyes of the public. Years ago, they vowed never to compete against each other. But now, both queens stand on the same national stage, fighting for the same crown... and for a dream that only one can claim. Their past is stitched beneath every gown. Their silence says more than the judges ever could. And when ambition collides with memory-only one will walk away crowned. They were each other's secret. Now they're each other's biggest threat.
