Cynthia

Three people, two stories, one bond. This is a typical best friend-themed story, but it really doesn't only revolve around the close and intimate friendly relationship itself. It is about how their relationship changed their own individual lives.

Dylan, a 17-year old who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, tries to clear his mind whether he loves his best friend, Cynthia. Though Cynthia likes every sweet moments they have had, she has a problem whether to confess to Dylan that she is secretly in love with a poor schoolmate named Anthony.

On the other hand, the oldest member of the barkada, Allen just recently realized she loves Glenn who is unfortunately in love with the most kikay in the group, Candice. But Glenn knows he cannot do anything because Candice is Fritz' almost-permanent girlfriend. Allen tries to hide the pain she had when Glenn didn't show up on her 19th birthday, forcing herself to believe that Glenn is insensitive in the first place.

A tale of Filipino teen romance and family relationship, this story dives into a complicated twists of heartbreaks and mini break-ups (worse, real break ups), trust, parenting, crime, and loyalty. A life story of ordinary people in extraordinary dilemmas.

The novelette, Cynthia, is told through Dylan's and Allen's point-of-view in a trivalent sequence. The story is also accompanied with prescribed musical tracks that are stated in the first page.
