Growing up insecure, Aurora firmly believes she does not suit someone as perfect as Maxwell. But with him continuing to love her despite her insecurities and fears, will Aurora finally choose to let Maxwell in--or will she keep pushing him away even if it breaks her heart? *** Every love is unique. Every heartbreak is cliche. When I was young, I met a prince who told me I'm beautiful. Sabi niya, paglaki namin, liligawan niya 'ko. We grew up, but unfortunately, I had a reverse story of the ugly duckling. The prince continued to be a prince, while I became the unpretty duck that wouldn't become swan. Bumuhaghag ang buhok ko. Umitim ako. Natadtad ng taghiyawat. Sasabihin siguro ng iba, okay lang pumangit paglaki. Beauty is something that should shine from within. But that's not completely true. Kahit ga'no kaganda ang kalooban, laging huhusgahan ang hitsura. People judge with the eyes first-always. I learned that everyone desires to be interesting, but not different. There is a standard and everyone wants the same thing-beauty, recognition, intellect. I only wanted one thing-to stop dreaming for the prince. But he's Maxwell. When he's in my life, he pulls me into his magnetic field no matter how much I resist. When he's out of my sight, I miss him. Nagkaatraso ako sa kanya no'ng college. As fate would have it, we are going to see each other. Again.
