"You're my betrothed." "Naliligaw ka, Miss." Inis na isasara ko na sana yung pinto ng humarang sya doon. "I don't think so. You're Terry Alcatraz right?" Terry has never been terrified all her life, ngayon lang. As she is now standing infront of a Goddess in the form of this woman with 5'10 height, pinkish white skin na hindi yata sanay sa araw, ash gray hair, at yung malalamlam na mga mata na akala mo laging inaantok. Am I still dreaming? "Sino ka ba?" "I'm your betrothed." Hay nako. May baliw na naman na naligaw. I pity her. Maganda nga. Baliw naman. "You got it wrong. Babae ako, Miss." Tsk. Bibigyan ka na nga lang din ng kapareha. Babae pa na mas maganda sayo at may saltik sa utak. Where's justice? "No. I'm in the right place. We're engaged." "Baliw ka ba?" Asar na tanong ko na sa kanya. Nauubos na ang pasensya ko dahil inaantok pa ko. Nagtatakang tiningnan ako ng mga matang kulay tsokolate na iyon. "Me?" Hinagod pa ako nito ng tingin mula ulo hanggang paa. "Shit, why am I trapped with you? I wonder. I could have atleast chose a better one. My toenails is way more appealing than you!" Ano daw? Sa sobrang inis ko ay hindi ko napigilang hubarin ang suot kong house slippers at batuhin sya niyon. Sino ba naman ang hindi maiinis? Kagigising mo lang ay may kakatok na sa tapat ng pintuan nyo para lang mangtrip. Pagkatapos sasabayan pa ng panglalait. Tila naman umurong lahat ng tapang ko ng mag angat ng tingin mula sa tsinelas na tumama sa pisngi nito ang babaeng iyon na may pares ng kulay tsokolateng mata. She gave me a chillin' smile pagkatapos ay dinampot ang tsinelas ko saka ubod ng lakas na binato din sakin yung tsinelas ko. Fudge! My pretty face! "There, we're quits. That's what engaged people do. They give and take." pagkatapos ay ngumiti ng pagkatamis tamis na akala mo santita. "Hmm. Bakit parang mas maganda pa sayo yung slippers mo? You could have bought a face too." Ano daw? Papatayin ko talaga tong baliw na babaeng ito. ***

(III) For years, Lenesha Villanueva has been chasing after one woman-her best friend's older sister, and now, her professor. Professor Jeremiah Maureen Montero. Cold. Strict. Always frowning. The kind of woman who could silence an entire room with just one look. She's never been the type to smile, let alone entertain someone like Lenesha-loud, persistent, and hopelessly in love with her. Everyone says it's a lost cause. That Jeremiah doesn't feel anything. But then there are those moments. A lingering stare. A softened voice. A hand brushing a little too slowly against Lenesha's. Enough to keep her hoping, hurting, and holding on. Because Jeremiah may push her away nine times out of ten... But on that one rare moment, she pulls her back in-without warning, without promise. Lenesha should've stopped a long time ago. But how do you stop chasing someone who sometimes looks at you like they might feel it too?

"My heart was full and got torn apart because of you."

Would they find their way to meet over the rainbows again? _________________________________ Note: I started writing this book when I was just 16 years young, stopped writing, and only continued on my 20th. Re-reading all the first few chapters, I can see that there are a lot of lame scenarios, and/or typographical/ grammatical errors. Hoping for your kindest understanding.

To say that fate has a strange way of bringing two different lone souls together is an understatement. Ang paraan niya ay nakakapagtaka, napapatanong ka, at sobrang nakakasurpresa. Fated hearts are strange, because when it comes and connects you two, it comes and connects you two. Note: I am trying my best to edit this. Feel free to point out my mistakes because it'll help me big time. Also, the language used in this is Filipino and English. +The image of the book cover is from pinterest. Credits to owner.
