[COMPLETED] "I know I'm in danger. But would putting a caution in my heart can make me stop from falling in love with you?" - Cladville Rios Lareho

Wounds heal, but scars remain. So even with the possibility that one can accept and move forward, it's impossible to forget. Because there will always be an irremovable mark that will remind you of every bit of pain. Growing up without a mother was Zarih's first heartache. It scarred her more than anything else. She sees how her dad grieves for her mom all the time-even after years-and it breaks her. When Zarih learned about the possibility that she might have inherited her mother's heart disease, she knew she couldn't afford to love because she wouldn't want anyone to suffer at her death. She wouldn't want to love someone just to wound him at the end. It was easy not to fall in love, only if Ace Timotheo Salvador, her summer enemy, didn't dare touch her scars... as if they were the most beautiful parts of her existence. Zarih feels like losing it... She wants to love and be loved. Maybe he can heal her scars. Maybe their story is different from her dad's. Maybe they can have a happy ending. Or maybe... She should've not risked it at all. Maybe she could've not scarred her heart more. Finished: July 21, 2022

"Mahal kita, Audixamperge Leorouge!" Tumigil siya sa paglalakad at nilingon ako. Hindi parin nawawala sa mukha niya ang lamig. "Spell my name" he orders. Hindi ako nagsalita. I bit my lip and smiled at him, "Kailangan pa ba yon? Anong konek ng spelling sa pagmamahal ko sayo?" "You say you love me but you can't even spell my name" I move back, "I don't date dumb girls" And that my friend, ended my school year. -- Cadre Series #1
