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.

Started: 09/09/2020 Ended: 10/07/2020 Solene Clemente was a typical Civil Engineering student who struggled to put up with her studies. Kung pwede ngang i-bake na lang ang napakaraming itlog sa test papers niya, ginawa niya na. At a young age, she experienced the harsh reality of life-poverty, abuse, and a broken family. But, as someone who could see the bright side of everything, she knew she could make it with only her mother and best friend, Duke Laurence Sanders, whom she secretly loved. Kahit pa naghihirap, basta kasama niya ang ina, kaya niya. Kahit pa madalas niyang hindi maintindihan ang lessons, ayos lang kasi may Duke naman na tuturuan siya. Na kahit gaano kalupit ang tadhana, patuloy siyang lumalaban sa buhay dahil may dalawang taong sumusuporta at nagmamahal sa kanya. She became too dependent on the love they could offer. But little did she know, like the sun she adored, she was destined to be alone.

"You think I would ever go to dinner with you after what you pulled?" I asked, he lifted an eyebrow and acted like he didn't know what I was talking about. "What?" He stepped closer making me step back. "I know you cheated, cut the act." He froze and for a moment I saw that hint of insanity in the back of those blue eyes, it sent chills down my spine. "Baby I don't know what you're saying, did you sleep well?" "Don't act innocent Dominik, you're a lying bastard, I heard you telling some woman how beautiful she is the exact same way you said it to me. Every day I go to sleep I hear you saying those words to her, it's driving me mad! You told me you loved me. " I felt tears running down my face faster than a waterfall. "How could you do this to me? I hate you and I never want to see your lying ass aga-" Dominik cut me off after connecting the back of his hand to my cheek. I backed away and hit the wall holding my face, he walked up to me and grabbed my wrists. "Shut the fuck up! You're in pain but you don't mean that baby, you love me, everything will change when we get married. I promise." He pulled my hands away from my face so he can grab it instead. "You love me." He said, squeezing my face tighter, I looked around the room and then flinched as he screamed at my face, "Say it!" I stayed silent; he went feral. This time he slapped me so hard that I ended up on the floor, I yelped and held my stinging face, I didn't even dare to look at him, I didn't want to either. "You think hitting me is going to make me tell you that I love you?" Keep in mind that is story is NOT revised.
