Kaia Porter and Nick Peterson broke up because they no longer loved each other. But if that's true, why is Nick crying stars?

Three years after their breakup, Nastia Kahlila Quijano swore she has already moved on. Ending things up with him was a decision she didn't regret. They needed it. So when the ghost of three years appeared as her neighbor, Nika wondered what she did so wrong to meet him again. She wondered how he lived in between the years they weren't together. She wondered how he became so happy after she left. And if things were truly over, how come they're back at square one? [NOW] Malay Natin: Siguro Ngayon An ongoing novel (2025).

There are some things that aren't worth keeping. Nastia Kahlila Quijano has been convincing herself that walking away was the right thing she did. Even if it's already been three long years ever since she left. But with every passing second and every in-between of those years, she couldn't seem to getaway with the feelings still lingering in her system. She was haunted by the ideas of him, what might have been, and their memories together. Each day, each night; it was a choice she didn't want to regret. She was determined to move forward. But the biggest relapse struck her unexpectedly. All of her effort and hard work went down the drain. She couldn't seem to pull herself back from the memories reeling her in. From the phantom lurking in the form of her next door neighbor seemingly pulling her back to his arms. Maybe she should run away. Far enough where they wouldn't meet ever again. Far from his reach. Maybe she should treat him indifferently until he finally gives up. But Nika couldn't seem to handle the thought of him walking away and ending up with someone else. She couldn't have that either. Maybe, it was time for her to let things happen like clockwork. Maybe fighting it was futile. Maybe the right thing to do was run back to him. In his arms wide open. A place in the world that's only meant for her. Maybe, this time, they were meant to be. Book cover by: goldenaraw (on twitter)
