Bitterweet Stories

Some years never really end - especially the year you lost the love of your life. Pat Javier's world ended the night Jansen Ruiz never came home. Five years later, she still drives the same roads, visits the same lake, and keeps the passenger seat empty - para sa taong hindi na babalik, kahit anong hintay niya. To everyone else, Jansen is gone. Pero para kay Pat, he's still here. Smiling at her in the rearview mirror. Laughing at her corny jokes. Singing along to that playlist na sa utak lang niya umiikot. But holding on to 2019 feels like holding on to smoke - the tighter she grips, the more it slips away. And in the silence, Dominic Sison - her oldest friend - waits, hoping she'll finally choose to live in the years she still has. Will she keep chasing the ghost of the love she lost... or will she finally let the sun set on 2019? A story of promises kept too long, empty passenger seats, and the kind of love that hurts long after it's gone.

He originates from the god of terror himself, and has taken over after the death of Deimos. He does not hesitate to live up to his name, for he is colder than anyone has ever been, and he reigns with terror, killing and destroying; up until when he is overthrown by his father's twin, (Phobos) and has to seek refuge from the latest victim of his treacherous ways. Ethan refuses to believe she will be of harm, though she seethes with hatred for him and wants revenge for her mother's death. But trusting someone has never been so hard, not when she is the daughter of deceit herself.

A poem of a dear friend of mine.

I am not flirting. I am just being extra friendly to someone who is extra attractive.. - The Philanderer

-I used to hear you say Words that were kinder than you But the kindest thing you said Was not to live for love But to love my life Because I can only Have it once-
