Behind every smile lies a story untold. Sa Likod ng Ngiti follows the emotional journey of Lyra, a quiet, artistic soul who falls in love with Lance-a boy who doesn't know how to express what he truly feels. In a world filled with silence, miscommunication, and emotional scars, Lyra learns how to endure, let go, and rediscover herself through heartbreak. Told in a heartfelt blend of English and Tagalog, this 20-chapter tragic romance explores the fragility of love, the weight of unspoken emotions, and the quiet strength it takes to heal. Through art, memories, and moments of stillness, Sa Likod ng Ngiti reveals the pain we hide, and the courage it takes to bloom again. This is not just a love story-it's a story of losing oneself, and slowly, gently, finding the light again.

A woman receives an unexpected gift that leads her down a path she never thought she'd take. Along the way, she learns how compassion can change a life, including her own. **This story is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places and events are fictitious, unless otherwise stated.
