Aisha Caiomhe grew up in a home filled with arguments and unspoken resentment. Araw-araw, ipinaparamdam sa kanya na siya'y dagdag sa gulo, isang batang kailangang intindihin pero hindi kailanman pinakinggan.
Sa mata ng iba, she was kind and easy to love. Sa loob ng bahay, she was labeled difficult, disrespectful, a liar, a disappointment. She learned early on how to be quiet, how to survive by shrinking herself. The weight of being misunderstood carved dark thoughts into her mind, telling her maybe she was the problem, maybe she didn't deserve peace, maybe she wasn't meant to be happy.
She almost believed it. She almost let it consume her.
Not until her first day of school, when she saw someone she thought was a transferee. Fate had already written their story. They had been classmates since Grade 1. Their paths had crossed once and were destined to cross again.
Kage Argus became the pause in her chaos, her light in the darkest days, the reason she stayed. For the first time, she believed life was worth living. She believed she could be loved without being fixed. But the boy she imagined spending forever with turned out to be the one she could never truly have. He ended up breaking her the most.
Years passed. She tried to move on. Then came Elam Kaison, the one who loved her quietly and patiently, the love that felt right.
But some hearts are stubborn. No matter how hard she tried to choose peace, it was still Kage Argus she longed for.
And just when she thought she had survived the worst, fate led her back to a familiar crossing, leaving Aisha alone on the path she once believed would save her, carrying a love she couldn't let go of and choices she was never meant to make.
