Ang sabi nila, ang mayaman ay para lang sa mga mayayaman. Bago ka pa ipinanganak dito sa mundo ay nakasulat na ang kapalaran mo. Kung ipinanganak kang mahirap ay mamamatay kang mahirap. Iyan ang mga bagay na hindi ko pinaniniwalaan, hindi din naman kasi malaking bagay para sa akin ang estado ng buhay ng isang tao. Ang mahalaga, maging mabuting tao. Hinding hindi ako tutulad sa aking ama na ipinagpalit ang pamilya para sa marangyang buhay. Neil Juancho Villaverde & Ericka Marriane San Miguel (Side Characters from Savage beast#5: Left in the Dark, When the moon heals, No more Sunrise)

Pero sa unang pagkikita lang pala. Dahil sa mga sumunod na pagkikita sila, isa sa kanila ang nagbago at nag-demand bigla.

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)
