Pauline was diagnosed to have prosopagnosia or face blindness when she was young, which means she had a problem recognizing people's faces, her family or even her own face.
Since then, she had been in difficult situations multiple times which made it hard for her to have friends and socialize with other people. Living with face blindness was like she was living in the world full of strangers.
One night, a handsome guy entered the tea cafe where she works. The only face that she could recognized without mistake for the first time in her face-blind life. Out of her happiness, she introduced herself but the guy didn't care at all.
Will she be able to get to know him or will he be just another stranger? Will her life change or will she change his instead?
***
This is not just a story about a girl who has a face blindness and a boy whom she can see. It's a story about love, acceptance, hope, regrets, and slice of life.

The Future Is You (You Series #2)
I was a little girl who rarely blinks. They used to say that I was abnormal. A peculiar child with cursed eyes. To me, it was a blessing. I always appreciate what God has given me. As time pass by, I learned to blink for the first time. The feeling wasn't special. I tried to blink once, twice, and when I blinked for the third time, a stranger's future self flashed before me. From the peak of his head, there was a cloud-like screen where I can be able to see what he'll be like ten years from now. An outstanding Doctor who saved countless lives from the beginning of his duty up to the present. I considered it a strength rather than power. But your strength can also be your weakness. The future will never change and that's the absolute truth. I studied how my strength works only to find out that I also have the ability to see the past by blinking five times. Ang iyong lakas ang magdadala sa'yo sa kapahamakan. Gamitin ito ng tama at sa paraang makatutulong sa kapwa. Disclaimer: This story is written in Tagalog and English. Status: Ongoing YOU SERIES #2
