Puppy love? True love? Paghanga only? Haist ang hirap naman ng ganito. Di ko tuloy maintindihan ang nararamdaman ko sa tuwing kaharap kita. Minsan napapaisip ako, in-love na ba ako sayo? Pero papaano? Estudyante mo lang ako...

"I'm not a psychopath, doctor."

She had always feared the night, but everything changed when someone showed her its beauty. The calming moonlight and soothing night sounds transformed her fear into peaceful appreciation.

Love in a storm is like the fierce winds that sweep across the landscape, powerful and uncontainable. It is the lightning that illuminates the darkest corners, revealing truths in stark flashes of clarity. The thunder is its voice, echoing through the soul with a resonance that cannot be ignored. In the downpour, love is the rain that drenches everything, cleansing and renewing even as it overwhelms. It soaks into the earth, much like love soaks into the heart, nurturing and fostering growth despite the apparent chaos. The storm, with its tumult and fury, mirrors the passion and intensity of love. Both are wild and untamed, capable of destruction yet also of profound beauty. In the eye of the storm, there is a quiet center, a calm amidst the turmoil, much like the peace found in the embrace of true love. Just as the storm passes, leaving the world washed and transformed, love endures beyond its own tempests, leaving behind a deeper connection and understanding. The aftermath of the storm, where the air is fresh and the world seems reborn, reflects the clarity and strength that love imparts after enduring life's challenges.

"Destiny did crossed our path together, only to separate it again. Thinking, what if I'm the first person you loved and met before? Will things like these will happen?"

"I was blinded with manipulation. I was consume with terror. They controlled me. Only if I knew, I wouldn't agree at all. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Dr. Hope Eloise Sullivan has always known how to survive anything with a smile. A joke here, a tease there, a well-timed punchline to soften every blow. When things get complicated, she laughs louder. When something hurts, she talks faster. Humor is her shield, and she wears it effortlessly. Atty. Zantasia Cazhielle Leviste, on the other hand, is precision personified. With her, everything is measured. Every word deliberate. Every emotion folded neatly where no one can reach it. She does not fidget. She does not overshare. She does not unravel. If Hope is chaos wrapped in sunlight, Zantasia is structure wrapped in silence. One hides behind laughter. The other behind control. They move through life exactly as they should. Professional. Untouchable. Perfectly aligned with what the world expects of them. But somewhere between denial and desire, between beautiful hope and beautiful goodbye- how do you walk away from something that feels like it was always yours?
