Ylaesya
pag-ibig ay ano?
The color red represents love in its most intense form: passion, desire, anger, and pain all bleeding into one shade. It is the color of hearts that beat too fast and scars that never fully fade. Love, like red, is never quiet. It demands to be felt.
Chona Tatiangco learned that love can lie, that promises can break, and that staying often hurts more than leaving. With an avoidant heart, walking away is her defense. Whether the problem is small or overwhelming, escape has always felt safer than confronting pain. However, Red Saavedra is the opposite of everything Chona believes love to be.
As their worlds collide, love becomes a test of endurance. Can someone who fears attachment learn to stay and face it? And can someone who loves fiercely survive loving a person who is always halfway out the door? In a story painted in red, love is not just a feeling-it is a risk, a wound, and a choice that must be made every day.
