Comfort | ongoing

Galatia Marino was an ordinary 10-year-old girl who grew up in an orphanage with hundreds of other kids. Galatia's caregiver, Ms. Perez, had always encouraged her to respect and understand people's motives and actions. A troubled 12-year-old boy came along and got attached to her comforting soul. What will happen when her adoption got in the way and forced her to part ways with the attached 12-year-old boy?

Tantalus Aetós was the one and only child of a famous painter, Vincent Aetós. Being the one and only child, his parents expected him to continue his father's legacy. However, Tantalus was never interested in art and took interest in the business sector. Because of this, Tantalus was forced to pursue art and drop business. A terrible accident happened and Tantalus was sent to an orphanage. There, he became captivated by a 10-year-old beauty. What is the 12-year-old boy going to do when his queen is taken away from him?

Is destiny going to bring them together or is it hard work and perseverance that will bring them together? Join their love journey filled with a lot of patience, understanding and comfort.

Galatia pulled away from the hug and wiped her tear-stained cheeks. She grabbed Tantalus's face in between her palms.

"I want you to know that you're capable of being anything you want to be, doesn't matter what the others say about you. Promise me you'll chase your dreams no matter what." Galatia assured Tantalus, knowing that he will succeed one day as anything he wants to be.

"I promise, my queen." Tantalus promised with a genuine smile planted on his face for once.

And that's where they first found their comfort. It was in each other's arms, in the exchange of reassuring words. In a place where the focus is the two hearts beating together. In a world where everybody else did not matter.
