To Trust the Dawn

FATE SERIES #3

Growing up in the orphanage, Faith Aurora has always been searching for the warmth of a home---the same warmth the dawn brings. Kaya nang ampunin siya ng kaniyang Tiya, umasa ang bata at inosente niyang puso na sa wakas ay makahanap ng tahanang inaasam. But her world crumbled when fate buried that hope. Kinamumuhian siya ng mga babaeng pinsan at hindi siya sinasali sa mga larong pambabae.

She never thought this would leave her confused about herself. Mula elementary, puro lalaki at mga tibo ang nakakalaro niya, kung kaya't itinanim niya sa kaniyang isip na walang babaeng gustong makipaglaro sa kaniya. Kung kaya't pagdating ng junior high, nakilala siyang tibo.

When Ivan Gideon, her schoolmate, came into her life only to bug her, he only fueled her confusion about herself. Ngunit kalaunan, nahanap niya na lang ang sariling pinupulot ang bawat bubog ng lalaki---ang mga istoryang nakatago sa likod ng mapanglaro nitong mga mata. The fire of confusion slowly faded, and the walls she built began to melt---when one rainy dawn, she realized she was already falling in love with him.

But lack of trust can break lovers apart. The sharpness of his tongue cut her deeply, scarring her heart---not trusting the personification of dawn he considers. Years passed, yet the wounds never fully healed. Is it still certain for dawn to shine after not trusting its light years ago?
