To Trust the Dawn

FATE SERIES #3

Growing up in the orphanage, Faith Aurora has always been finding a warmth of a home---like the warmth that the dawn brings whenever the morning starts. Kaya nang ampunin siya ng kaniyang Tiya, umasa saglit ang bata at inosente niyang puso na makahanap ng tahanang inaasam. However, her world crumbled down when fate buried that hope. Kinamumuhian siya ng mga babaeng pinsan na hindi siya pinapasali sa mga larong pambabaeng alam nila.

And she never thought that it will push her to grow up with confusion about herself. Mula Elementary, puro lalaki at mga tibo ang nakakalaro dahil itinanim niya sa kaniyang isipan na walang babaeng gustong makipaglaro sa kaniya. Kung kaya't nang tumungtong sa junior high, nakilala siyang tibo.

However, when Ivan Gideon, her schoolmate came into her life only to bug her, he fueled the fire of confusion that she has about herself. Nahanap niya na lang ang sariling pinupulot ang bawat bubog ng lalaki---bawat istoryang nakatago sa likod ng mapanglarong mga mata. The fire of confusion was slowly being blown. The rigidness of her in rejecting and keeping him away from her life slowly melted when one rainy dawn came, she just found out that she's starting to fall in love with him.

However, we shouldn't forget that lack of trust is one of the reasons why some lovers separate. The sharpness of his tongue cut her heart deeply, leaving it scarred-not trusting the personification of dawn that he considers.

The wounds caused by the tragedy haven't healed yet even after years had passed. Is it still certain for the dawn to shine after not trusting its light years ago?
