Pahimakas (Orasan #2)

Life has been a living nightmare for Malaya Anastacia after her Mom died; her life transitioned 360 degrees- from being the unica hija her parents once loved to being a damsel in distress.

She spent almost half of her life wishing she could live up to her name. Malaya. Free. but the reality is quite the opposite, she's empty inside. She is caged under her Dad's claw. She has all the reason to be bitter in life, to be gone, pero hindi niya magawa dahil may isang taong umaasa pa rin sa kaniya . . . hanggang sa naging dalawa.

Serge Solomon came into her life. The ever so bubbly boy - everyone's dream boy. Handsome,
funny, and kind. The ray of sunshine. The Golden retriever.

Very opposite from Malaya's personality.

But is adding Serge into her life enough to keep her going? Probably not because every single day, Malaya still has this thought: When breathing becomes heavier and waking up in the morning feels like an obligation rather than a blessing, what do I do? Everyone said it's bright but why is it seem so dark? If I lost my feet on the ground and didn't know where is the right path, where should I go?

They said waves of life lay in sadness and happiness, does the line in between for emptiness?

When a person chose to be free from everything, why do we consider it a tragedy?
