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.

For Aelia, love is a puzzle. Until she met Ivo Vazquez during college. Dahil pareho silang nag-aaral ng medisina, naging maliit ang mundo nila. From college, to their internship, to being professionals and getting the titles that they worked hard for-they are 'almost' together. Or atleast for Aelia who watched and rooted for Ivo from afar. She watched how he made his dreams come true, how he loved a different girl unconditionally and how he suffered when Skyla died. Life is a constant battle, and there's only one thing that we are all sure of- death. As Aelia Cortez tries to take a chance to finally pursue the only love she knows, and as Ivo Vazquez takes the risk of holding onto that love-they will realize that there's more to life than their feelings. Life is blurry. Life is scary. Life can be a storm that ruins, and they can be the boat sailing on the rough sea through that storm. The waves are crashing through them. Humahampas. Mahapdi. Nananakit. At hindi nila alam kung tama bang bumitaw na, o patuloy na kumapit. The 6th story of the Liham series.
