Humss Stories

Zaphielle Miren grew up in a family that barely noticed her achievements-parents lost in their work, and siblings busy with their own lives. She raised herself with a pure heart, curious and kind. In grade eight, she won a spelling bee-but someone in the crowd caught her attention: a boy glaring at her. Feeling a bit guilty, she decided to approach him, but before she could, he walked away. Years later, they crossed paths again. What started as an awkward reunion slowly turned into quiet conversations and unexpected companionship. They grew closer, learning about each other little by little. Friendship eventually blossomed into love, yet youth and dreams pulled them in different directions. Love came, and love left. Twelve years later, they meet again-but will fate allow them to be together this time, or not?

Zen's light shines for everyone to see, but it hides a darkness no one knows. Beneath the smiles and laughter lies a pain she keeps invisible, a struggle shaped by love, friendship, family, and the pressures of modern society. As she faces isolation and the expectations around her, Zen must navigate heartbreak, self-discovery, and the courage to let someone see the real her. Secretly Series #1

Life is strange in its own cruel ways. One day, you're standing at the peak, feeling the sun warm your face, and the next, everything slips away as if it never belonged to you. Cassandra Jade Vergara knows this game all too well. Every time something good touches her life, it seems to vanish like sand slipping through her fingers. Happiness is always fleeting and is soon replaced by pain that it makes the calm moments feel like illusions. That's why she never allows herself to fully breathe when life is gentle; she always waits for the storm to arrive. Yet, as she learns to accept this harsh rhythm, she dares to give her heart away. He fills the empty spaces she thought were permanent, shields her from the rain with gentle hands, and sings the song she never thought anyone would bring to life. For a fleeting moment, it feels as if the sand has finally learned to rest in her hands, as if happiness might actually stay. But just when she begins to believe the game was finally over, the sand slips once again. No matter how tightly she holds on, the waves push her to let go. And as she struggles, drowning in her own storm, the only thing she sees is his shadow melting in the rain - leaving her to sink alone in the rain she had once hoped would be shared.

"Dreams are better than reality" Ika nga nila, dahil mas mararamdaman mo 'yong sayang hindi mo kaagad maranasan sa totoong buhay. I thought that too. I thought life would be better if we got to experience those sweet dreams we had when we're asleep in reality. As people love to sleep and dive into their dreams that made them feel resting, it gives them hope and they would manifest it will come true, but somehow reality is not what we thought it would align with what we hoped for. A realization hits me, if it really meant to happen, it will happen, but how can I explain what just happened to me the day after I had those dreams? It was one night as I fall asleep I never thought I would dream of someone that was in my past; someone I wanted to forget and someone I never wanted to cross paths again. What's going on? I believe it's just a coincidence, but what in the nightmare my dreams come to life little by little and I meant each night passing, my dreams come true... or so I thought. "Am I still dreaming?" There's no way. "Swerte mo naman siguro kung nasa panaginip mo 'ko."
