[Last of LOYAL HEARTS ] Abuse. Neglection. Independence. Malaki ang epekto sa buhay ng isang tao kapag lumaki sa kapaligirang hindi inaambunan ng pagmamahal. Love composes almost the whole percentage of life in general. Love in any kinds. Along in growing up is a discernment that you're not capable of the platitude affection. Ngunit sa paggising mo isang araw kung saan napagtanto mo ang isang bagay na inaakala mong hindi mo mararamdaman kahit kailan, isang pag-unawa ang pilit kumakain sa isip. And it is thinking that you don't deserve it. You don't deserve reciprocated feelings. Because you also grew up with the thought that you don't deserve the beautiful things. Nang makilala ni Davina si Jaxon, she knew her heart's at stake. Slowly, she let herself be engulfed with his attention. Dapat sa kanya lang ang malasakit ni Jax. She should be at the receiving end of his care and residual affection but love. She wants to hold him prisoner. A committed relationship, emotional issues and life status; Ito ang mga pader na nagbubukod sa kanila. The ones keeping them on the other side of each other. The reasons that resolved to her forbearing. But also became the backwash of their destruction. Both friendship and love. The wall thickens. It stands even higher as the conflict of the past is haunting. This time, Davina is the willing one to break those walls and go across the other side. To his side. Once again. Iyon ay kung tatanggapin pa siya muli nito.
