On - going

Life is like a web of tangled strings; we never know where they might lead. Candace Hillarie Ruiz was often described as the epitome of innocence. Soft-spoken, obedient, and angelic, she dreamed of pursuing a degree in Psychology to understand others and to understand herself better. To those around her, she was a celestial being, a source of joy and light. But deep down, her life was not filled with musical rhythms. To her, the notes were cracked and painfully out of tune.

Jiro Chandler Alcantara was her stark contrast. Known for his intimidating aura, he was someone people often feared. As the main vocalist and guitarist of the popular local band Zerobase, his reputation preceded him. However, those who truly knew him saw a different side, one far removed from the intimidating figure everyone assumed him to be. Beneath the tough exterior was a warm, approachable soul with a social butterfly personality that told a story far different from his reputation.

When he saw how radiant and beautiful she was, he began to hear his heartstrings instead of his electric guitar. She was everything he never knew he needed, and as he watched her, his heartstrings hummed a melody, a song written just for her.

But will she ever hear the celestial melody of his heartstrings? Despite knowing that even the most beautiful melodies are never meant to be heard by the one they were written for.
