PUBLISHED UNDER LIB Note: If you're not into flawed characters who make wrong decisions, don't read this. Save yourself from stress. Started: 10/07/2020 Ended: 11/18/2020 Elora Chin Valencia grew up in a toxic Christian family where she was viewed as the black sheep. Araw-araw ay ipinaparamdam sa kanya ng mundo na wala siyang lugar sa sarili niyang tahanan. She was a consistent dean's lister and an obedient daughter, which left her wondering what she had done so wrong to be disregarded as a speck of dust in the wind. They made her feel like she was just dirt, filling up the empty space. The one who would never have her own safe place. Feeling all of this contributed to her endless suicidal ideations. Baka nga tama sila. Baka nga wala siyang halaga at kailanman ay hindi na sasaya. She almost believed that. She almost held onto that notion. Not until she met the man in his BS Civil Engineering uniform and gorgeous grin, Troy Jefferson Dela Paz. He kissed her forehead, and her loud thoughts were silenced. Her demons calmed down. Her foes were defeated. For the first time in her life, she had proven her family wrong---a happy Elora Chin was possible. She was loved and well-taken care of. Troy embraced her sharp parts, not minding the wounds he might get. But fate had a lot of cruel things in store for her. Because when she thought she had reached the peak of happiness, she found myself drowning alone in the ocean she now called home, alone in her shame, alone with the waves she couldn't tame.

Maglalaho ang mananakit sa iyo. Subukan nilang saktan kahit dulo ng buhok mo. Mapapaaga ang pagdalaw ko sa kanila. - Grim Reaper a.k.a Jacob Alejandro

I am a knight with no shining armour. A knight with vow to protect the royal family with my own life. But when a princess came, my purpose has gone. She can protect them more than I can. And I watch my whole life taken from me. My purpose...my whole life meaning is gone. Until she came... with vibrant like a sun, she leaves chaos on her way. She's innocent and a temptress at the same time... she is a walking contrast that captures my soul. But she is a child. A child I need to protect even from myself... Until when I can hold my honour to stay away from her? All my life, I am encaged by my parents because of their fear. I am living in this beautiful place, seeing the same person every day from the day I was born. I don't even know how to ride a jeep. They see me as a girl, but when they can see me as a woman? I am more than what they thought I am. All I need is a chance. A chance to live my life the way I am supposed to be and maybe fall in love in along the way.

There are things science can't explain to us. And one of that is how I fell for you. But like you said, things don't need to be explained all the time. You just have to...believe. -Raiden Fujihara

Anong gagawin mo kapag may na-tag kang maling tao sa status mo sa Facebook? Ang masaklap pa nito, nabasa ng buong school yung status mo. Wait, nasabi ko na bang sikat at school heartthrob yung na-tag mo? At nasabi ko na rin ba na nag-I love you ka sa kanya with matching kiss smiley pa? ⒸMaevelAnne
