Started: 04/27/2021 Ended: 08/24/2021 Ang hirap palang tumanda. Ang hirap magbayad ng bills. Ang hirap suportahan ng pamilyang akala ay isang milyon ang suweldo mo. Ang hirap ngumiti sa nanay na mataas ang tingin sa'yo pero hindi ka kayang ipagtanggol. Ang hirap tabihan sa hapagkainan ng tatay na pinag-uubusan mo ng pera pero hindi ka maalala. Ang hirap mag-abot ng tulong sa kapatid na baon sa utang. Ang hirap intindihin ng hipag na nakakapagpa-rebond pa kahit kapos na kapos na. Ang hirap pakisamahan ng bunsong halos ilahad ang mga palad tuwing makikita ka. Ang hirap ngitian ng mga taong tanong nang tanong kung bakit hindi ka pa nakakapag-asawa. Ang hirap humarap sa mundong isasampal sa'yo na mag-isa ka. Tulong, bigay, utang. Isang iling mo lang, madamot ka na. Kasama mo sila kapag may maibibigay ka, pero hindi mo sila mahahanap kapag wala na. Ikaw ang kakayod, sila ang tutuka. Ikaw ang iiyak sa pagod, sila ang magtatamasa. Iyon ang summary ng buhay ko. Sobra-sobra ang naririnig na paghingi, kulang na kulang ang naririnig na pasasalamat. Sobra-sobra ang pagpapasensya, kulang na kulang ang natatanggap na pagpapahalaga. Sobra-sobra ang binabayaran, kulang na kulang sa kasiyahan. Kaya nang dumating sa buhay ko ang nag-iisang lalaking hindi ako nakita bilang naglalakad na alkansya, ang nag-iisang lalaking nakinig sa mahabang listahan ko ng problema, ang nag-iisang lalaking nagbigay sa akin ng kakaibang saya, ipinangako ko sa sarili na sa gitna ng hirap ng pagtanda, magtitiis ako basta't siya ang kasama. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay pagtalikod sa minahal na pamilya. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay paglaban sa mundong pinatatakbo ng kapangyarihan at pera. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay ang pagdurusa't pag-iisa. Siya ang ginhawa, pahinga, at kasiyahan ko. Dumating man ang araw na tanaw ko na ang dulo. Dumating man ang araw na wala na kaming sagot sa lahat ng bakit at paano. Dumating man ang araw na pareho na kaming talo.

The wound is the point at which the light enters you. After years of separation, Aldrine is determined to get Miya back in his life. Forget about the past heartaches and the intense longing. As long as she's now within reach, he finds another hope for living. Here's a blessing: They have a child. But, here's a tragedy: Aldrine didn't know about her. The most difficult situation Miya had to overcome was telling Aldrine about Chi. Or perhaps, it's being able to accept that Aldrine has always made love less terrifying. That love is what she's made of, even though the world tells her otherwise; it's blooming, freeing, and everything in between. | Santimera Siblings #4 | an epistolary novel | 2023 © reyincarnation Started: February 15, 2023 Finished: March 9, 2024

Surely, they did not want to meddle with each other's lives again. The last time they did, they ended up breaking each other's young, hopeful hearts. But things take a different turn when Billie is in desperate need of a token boyfriend, and Deion is her only available option.

Between what's hers and his seemed incompatible. Aleiah doesn't give a damn about anything except her family and building her career. Living a life where failure is an unwanted guest, she does her best in med school and barely gives a try to open her heart. But, just like her energy, she doesn't need to chase; she attracts. Maybe it's the way Jaxen sticks sticky notes on her cup of coffee, or the taste of the food he cooks for her, or the way his cheekbones appear everytime he softly smiles, or the wonderful mood she gets whenever she's with him that makes her feel like everything will be fine. The attraction they have created was strong. Until it was supposed to be weak at some point. But, as they say, you come back stronger; together against the world. | Santimera Siblings #3 | an epistolary novel | 2022 © reyincarnation Started: July 22, 2022 Finished: October 21, 2022
