(The Lost Souls on Tour: The Second Tour) Wants; are something that can drive us to do everything in order to have what we desire. People frequently remark: that if you want something, you must work hard for it. Pero paano kung may mga taong una pa lang, kayang-kaya nang makuha ang mga bagay na gusto nila nang hindi pinaghihirapan? With one lift of a finger, they can already take a grasp of the things that they desire, something that other people envy the most. And that is the case for Rhysand Amias Trevino. With a golden spoon in his mouth, he can always get all the things that he desires--from securing a position in a band, being the captain ball of the basketball team, fame, alcohol and cigarettes, parties, to girls who will do anything just to please him. Walang hirap, puro sarap. Even in school, he barely attends his classes just to do the things that he likes. Dahil para sa kaniya, ano pa ba ang halaga ng buhay kung hindi mo naman gagawin ang mga bagay na magpapasaya sa 'yo? Kung hindi mo naman makukuha ang mga bagay na gusto mo? Pero minsan, kahit anong kakayahan ang mayroon ka pa, kung ang isang bagay ay hindi itinadhana na maging sa 'yo, hinding-hindi mo makukuha. Being greedy is something that Rhys has been sporting since he was born in this world. But when it comes to her, he learned to be selfless. He never thought he would end up wanting something that could put him in a place where he has to let go of all the things that he has in his life. Pero kahit anong gawin mo, may laban ka pa ba kung siya na mismo ang may ayaw sa 'yo? May magagawa ka pa ba kung siya na mismo ang umalis sa buhay mo? Rhys had no idea that he will find his demise in his own salvation. He had no idea that one day, he will just find himself shedding tears under the rain as he watch her leave him carrying his soul...carrying his heart. - I do not own the book cover that I used, credit to the rightful owner.
