FP #2: Zero (Epistolary with narration)

"Didn't I promise you? I'll destroy anyone who dares hurt you." But then he left-taking my heart with him.

Saying no is the constant dilemma of people with the biggest hearts. To them, refusing equates to rejecting. They tend to keep on doing favors until it's too much. Ngunit kailan nga ba masasabi kung sobra na? Einav Jynette R. Leyva is the sweetest soul in Calle Nueva. A people's person. A good mixer. A social butterfly that can easily form meaningful connection with anyone. Madali niyang nakukuha ang loob ng sinuman dahil sa mga likas na katangiang taglay niya. Compassionate, Warm, and Humane. She's everyone's favorite person. Every guy's dream girl. Every parent's ideal daughter-in-law. She's too caring. Too thoughtful. Too expressive. Pero ika nga sa kasabihan... ang anumang sobra ay masama.

Taking risk is never easy. The guarantee we get by staying inside our comfort zone is both addicting and tricky. Minsan akala mo matapang ka na dahil marami ka nang pinagdaanan. Yun pala, hindi mo pa nahaharap ang tunay na laban. Calcifer M. Revano is the ball of sunshine in Calle Nueva. He lives free and easy. Adventurous, spontaneous, and game for anything. He can't last a day without having fun. Para sa kanya, mas mahalaga ang ngayon kaysa sa bukas. But what if he crosses path with someone who lives her life differently? Kabaliktaran ng kanya. Iba sa lahat ng nakilala. Walls start crumbling. Realities began unleashing. Sa pagitan nilang dalawa, sino nga ba ang duwag at sino ang hindi?

Masarap talaga ang bawal. Lalo na kung araw-araw kang sinusubok ng tadhana. The more forbidden it is, the greater the urge to have it yourself. Kay daling sabihing iwasan na lang. Ngunit kung sayo na mismo hinain, makakatanggi ka pa ba? Achelous Dwayne R. Leyva is the youngest in Calle Nueva. He's smart, athletic, and responsible. Gwapo pero suplado. Uptight personality never suited anyone better than him. It's part of his charms. Ayos na sana. Perpekto na ang lahat. He got too much of everything. Too fit, too attractive, too gentle- but sadly... too young for the one he likes.

Pa-like po ng status, miss maam. An epistolary.

Maria Georgianne Marfori loved Noah Elizalde more than anything in this world. Ganon din halos lahat ng mga babaeng kilala niya. Yes, he's probably that hot and adorable. Kaya naman ay maaga niyang natutunan ang pag mamahal ng walang pag aalinlangan at takot. Kailanman ay hindi niya naisip na darating ang araw na susuko siya at mapapagod. Never. Noah will end up with her no matter what. But is it really right to love him intensely at a very young age? Her family didn't believe in love. They think it's pure sentiment. They think purely loving someone with your heart was wrong. Binigyan tayo ng Panginoon ng puso at utak. Puso, para maramdaman ang sentimento. Utak, para mapag isipan kung dapat bang tanggapin ang sentimento ng puso. We have to identify who's the better judge. But then again, do we always have that chance to judge? Paano kung ipaglaban mo man iyon ay wala ka parin namang halaga? How are you going to fight for your heart when you know from the very beginning you will lose? That you are Worthless? Why do we all want this? To love what does not love us. To leave those who want to stay. To push away those who want to stay close. To treasure what is worthless.
