Started: 11/20/2020 Ended: 01/29/2021 How far would you go for someone? How many hailstorms and dark clouds would you endure? How many falling stars would you wait for to make a single wish come true? For Reese Deborah Madrid, the sky was the limit. She was used to having whatever she wanted. Clothes? Shoes? Jewelry? Name it. She could get it without putting in so much effort. So, when she hoped for another shot of love with her ex-boyfriend, she was ready to sacrifice everything to win him back. Even if that meant she had to look stupid and desperate. Even that meant she had to suffer through the pain of watching him be disgusted by her. Even if that meant she had to deal with his harsh words and apathy. She did everything in her power to go back into his arms. She stood up to the rain that soaked her and the sun that burned her skin. She waited from daybreak to nightfall, hoping that he would eventually fall back in love with her. She thought she was getting there. She felt like she'd made it. But then, in the world where she could be anything, she lost everything in the name of her love for him. Because much like the sky, Harvin Rouge Foster was only meant to be loved from afar.

Marahan akong umakyat sa hagdan, pinipigilang gumawa ng ingay. Tahimik na tahimik na ang buong mansion. Madilim na ang pasilyo sa second floor - alas-dose na rin kasi ng gabi. Pagdating ko sa tapat ng pinto ni Master Xavier, bahagya akong huminga nang malalim. Kumatok ako ng mahina, Nang marinig ko ang boses ni master na Pinapasok niya ako.. Aabutin ko na sana ng kamay ko ang doorknob, nang biglang bumukas ang pinto sa katabing kwarto.. Napalingon ako - at doon, nagtagpo ulit ang mga mata namin ni Master Alessandro. Sandali lang 'yon, pero parang tumigil ang oras. Bago pa ako makapagsalita, bigla niya akong hinila papasok sa kwarto niya. Hindi ko na nagawang mag-react - sa isang iglap lang, marahas na niya akong isinandal sa pinto. "A-Alessandro!!" gulat kong sabi, halos hindi makahinga ng maayos. Tinitigan niya ako nang mariin, 'yung titig na parang kaya akong basahin, kaya akong lamunin. Kinabahan ako. Ramdam ko ang panginginig ng kamay ko habang pilit kong itinulak ang dibdib niya. "B-bitawan mo ako..." halos pakiusap ko na. Ngunit imbes na makinig, bahagyang ngumisi si Alessandro - 'yung ngiting mahirap basahin kung galit ba o nang-aasar. At sa malamig na boses, dahan-dahan siyang sumagot, "Ayoko nga." ALESSANDRO VINZENZI STORY The unwanted son
