She hid behind curtains. He stood in plain sight. But love has a funny way of pulling two hearts together!
Katarina Udele Noves has spent every vacation at her father's hometown tucked away in her room to avoid the world, especially her noisy cousins, who claim she lives in her own little universe. Determined to prove them wrong, she becomes persistent in breaking that perception.
On the other hand, Zerre Enderson Cardoso had enough. The boy next door, with a heart full of hope and eyes for the girl in the window, had made his mission to let her know that he was more than just a passing glance. After all, in his world, "later than never" wasn't just a saying. It was a promise.
For him, it's better be late than never to take a chance, make the first move, and fall in love, even with a girl who once seemed out of reach.
Engineering students Pfifer and Ivan know that what they have is something special. Without a proper label between them plus an ugly twist of fate, can they manage to be together in the end--or will they remain as each other's TOTGA and nothing more?

May feelings na laging nandiyan, nakaabang kung kailan magpapapansin. Nakaabang kung kailan ako titisurin sa mga pamilyar na kanta, lugar, at salita. Magpapaalala sa isang mukha na hindi ko naman gano'n kakabisado pero pamilyar. Magpapaalala sa mga dating pakiramdam.
Malalaman mo raw kung sino ang The One That Got Away mo kapag narinig mo 'yong salita at nakaalala ka ng iisang tao lang; nakatisod ka ng mga dating pakiramdam; nangulila ka sa mga nakaraang saya; nakaalala ka ng mga pamilyar na sakit.
Sabi, time heals wounds at distance makes one forget. Bakit parang hindi naman effective? Bitbit ko pa rin lahat ng what if. Hindi pa rin ako makatakas sa maraming sana.
Ako ba ang bumitiw o siya? Tapos na ba kami talaga?
Ang sarap magtanong kaso...wala nga palang kami noon.
