Pero sa hindi inaasahang pagbitaw ng isa para sa iba, alam mong may magbabago, at inaasahan niyo na ito. Pero hinahayaan niya lang. Dahil alam niyang babalikan mo siya. Babalik ka sa kanya.

Beyond Series #1 When you're in love, you could be the most stupid person you could ever be. Wrong feels right. Black looks white. Smiles over cries. To be in pain means to be vain. Toleration seems like an obligation. All for love. Kung may isang taong magpapatunay nito, siya na ang pinaka-kwalipikado: Dana Pineda, a fine arts student, talented painter and certified love-sucker. Almost four years of relationship and counting, envisioned future together, first love and first and everything--reasons engraved in Dana's mind that serve as a constant reminder as to why she should keep the toxic relationship with her long-time boyfriend, Jared. Para kay Dana, kung hindi si Jared, wala ng ibang tatanggap at magmamahal sa kaniya. Ito na ang kaniyang magiging una't huli at wala ng iba pa. For her, she's just an unattractive, insecure, and less worthy woman oozing with flaws, issues, and emotional baggage. Wala namang ibang lalaki pa ang gugustuhin ang isang babaeng gaya niya. There's no one else for her. Or so she thought. Her life's greatest plot twist is about to happen, when Javi Aragonza, the popular basketball team captain, barged in without knocking.
