"No! Stop!"
I could see her fading silhouette. She keeps on walking away just like the way I dreamt of her every night.
'No! Please don't walk away. I need to see your face. I need to know your name. I need to find you.'
But I know that it wasn't enough. If there's anything that she's good at, it is into dodging people away.
"Please!?" I almost beg. "I need to see you. Just stop."
I keep on running and chasing after her. But like in every dreams, she kept on slowly fading away. And I could feel the same emptiness within whenever I've dreamt of this.
It starts with her fading hands. Like a human form that's painfully breaking into tiny crystallized pieces that's scattered into thin air, she's dissolving in an incredibly fast-paced.
"No. Please don't!"
I could feel the tears that's running down on my cheeks as I try to grab her fading hand.
"No! No!"
As if there's a heavy rock on my chest, my breath starts to heave. I could feel the hollow emptiness within and the contradictory feeling of being crushed beneath.

[THEN] Malay Natin: Siguro Ngayon
There are some things that aren't worth keeping. Nastia Kahlila Quijano has been convincing herself that walking away was the right thing she did. Even if it's already been three long years ever since she left. But with every passing second and every in-between of those years, she couldn't seem to getaway with the feelings still lingering in her system. She was haunted by the ideas of him, what might have been, and their memories together. Each day, each night; it was a choice she didn't want to regret. She was determined to move forward. But the biggest relapse struck her unexpectedly. All of her effort and hard work went down the drain. She couldn't seem to pull herself back from the memories reeling her in. From the phantom lurking in the form of her next door neighbor seemingly pulling her back to his arms. Maybe she should run away. Far enough where they wouldn't meet ever again. Far from his reach. Maybe she should treat him indifferently until he finally gives up. But Nika couldn't seem to handle the thought of him walking away and ending up with someone else. She couldn't have that either. Maybe, it was time for her to let things happen like clockwork. Maybe fighting it was futile. Maybe the right thing to do was run back to him. In his arms wide open. A place in the world that's only meant for her. Maybe, this time, they were meant to be. Book cover by: goldenaraw (on twitter)Lengkap
She Who Was A He (Hacienda Series #1)
Bawat kirot ay may katumbas na paghihiganti. Yes, every pain demands a payback. That's the first thing I learned when I loved him. Not consciously, not right away-but slowly, in pieces. He taught me how to love. His love was wildfire-reckless, consuming, beautiful in the way it ruined everything. I thought I was lucky to have it. I thought he saw something in me. Maybe he did. Maybe he saw the parts that were already breaking. He taught me how to bend the rules, how to silence the voice in my head that said "this isn't right." With him, right and wrong blurred until they didn't matter. Until all that mattered was staying close enough not to lose him, but distant enough not to drown. And then came pain. He taught me pain in a thousand unspoken ways. In words that stung more than silence. In apologies that came too late. In touches that lingered with regret. And pain... And pain. Again and again No fairy tale. No forever. It was never about soulmates. It was just... a story. A complicated, messy, painful story. But still, I gambled. I bet my heart on something that didn't deserve it. And in the end, that so-called love? It destroyed me. It didn't just break me-it broke everything I cared about. Everyone I loved. It burned through every soft thing I had left inside me. Because that love... Was disastrous. Behind the illusion of love hid everything I was afraid of: pain, betrayal, lies, manipulation. A heartbreak wrapped in promises. A knife dressed like a kiss. But here's what no one tells you: after heartbreak comes something sharper. Stronger. Revenge. And revenge-it's not sweet. It's not cold. It's best served hot. The kind of heat that doesn't ask for closure. It takes it. I, who was a he, now turned into a she. I will serve pain out of pain. Not to mirror the cruelty, but to remind the world: You don't get to hurt someone like me and walk away unburned.Lengkap
After I Fell (COMPLETE)
When the only thing you wanted to hear, after all the pain suddenly becomes the reason to make you so damn depressed again making you remember something happened and you just can't let go of the pain all you want is to cry so damn hard and just share your every burden with the person from where it started. But then you stop and walk past him as if its alright because you know he won't understand. And that is the last thing on the earth to cry in front of him and he would never hold you back ,wipe your tears and tell you that its all gonna be alright which would never happen. So i wanna keep quite and go on as i have always done as if nothing happened. Damn! all i want is to get this freaking heart out of me and throw it away its all MY Fault .He do not need to feel guilty for that he do not need to say sorry for that after all I was the one who fall in and it will always be there...no matter how hard i try its just won't listen and it never had.Lengkap
Freaky Friday
"I would kill if I have to, I would slit a throat just to prove to you how much I love you and yet here you are, pointing that gun at me as if we didn't share a single t-thing." My voice cracked with desperation as I stopped my tears from falling out of agony. However, despite the current situation I have with her is it so silly of me to still hope that I am only dreaming? Hoping that this isn't real even though the coldness of the metal of the gun under my throat was cold enough to send shivers to my spine. It was cold enough to remind me that the reality I am hoping is the real fantasy. "I can't love you and I can't even bear the thought of loving you. Remember this, I would rather kill myself just to prove to you how much I loathe you." ⚠️Expect a lot of typographical and grammatical errors, and others. I already revised this but mistake is still available. Readers who used to read this before should expect a lot of changes as most of the scenes were revised. Thank you and enjoy!

CANDLE
I didn't expect anything when I whispered into the dark. I didn't even believe someone was listening. But I begged anyway- "Take this pain away." I was tired. Lost. Empty. A hollow shell carrying everyone's weight but my own. Until she came. She wasn't loud. She didn't try to fix me. She just stayed. And for the first time, I felt seen. This is the story of how a lost soul met the light. How pain turned into poetry. And how maybe, just maybe... even someone like me could be found.

"Of course, I'm straight" Straight bender series ILengkap
Cecindei: Zeita Frumusetii
[ MPREG ] [ Trans X Straight ] Love is often blamed for the worst human decisions. But love is never the first sin. Obsession is. Vanna enters a world where cruelty is forgiven as long as it is beautiful. Where power wears a flawless smile, and violence is dismissed as indulgence. She has seen what obsession does. How it bruises, humiliates, and breaks. She has watched it crawl into her sister's life and leave her hollowed out. And she has learned the most dangerous truth of all: monsters are protected when they are desired. Refusing to remain a witness to suffering, Vanna chooses something far more dangerous than justice: entry. Her decision draws her into the orbit of the Valos, a closed, elite circle where influence is inherited, power disguises itself as elegance, and turning affection into leverage and devotion into control. To survive among them is to learn their language. Favors instead of kindness. Obsession instead of love. Silence instead of mercy. As she moves among them, tension sharpens into attraction, and abhorrence into fascination. Every glance becomes a negotiation. Every confrontation peels away the illusions she has lived by, forcing her to confront what she truly is capable of becoming. Desire coils where hatred once lived, and the line between manipulation and intimacy dissolves. With each secret revealed, Vanna is forced to confront a truth she never anticipated: the Valos do not merely test her morals-they awaken something feral, powerful, and intoxicating within her. What begins as a mission rooted in protection and vengeance slowly transforms into something far more unsettling. Self-revelation. Vanna is no longer certain whether she is there to destroy the world that harmed her sister, or to claim its power as her own. Because in a society built on obsession, domination, and privilege, the most dangerous woman is not the one who loves too deeply. But the one who learns how to be desired without losing herself.

"You may not want to be in my head. You might find someone other than myself that you won't be able to forget. It'll haunt you like a nightmare you can't tell. " "Silly. What's in that tough demeanor, ate Cray?" tumawa lang si Ember at kumapit ulit sa braso ko. "I like you. That's enough right?" Napailing na lang ako sa inaasal nito. If she'll learn our history, she'll then understand. Pinalis ko yung kamay nitong nakakapit na naman sa braso ko. "Compose yourself, Ember. I don't like you. You're just like a sister to me. Someone I had to protect with my life." I caught the way those words cut through her. It's visible in the same set of lifeless coal eyes that I am most familiar with. "Bakit?" I stared at her blankly. "Atleast tell me what you don't like about me." "That's exactly why it hurts the way it hurts." Napangiti ako ng mapait. "You have too many questions, too many words, in your head. But those will be left unsaid. Like me, you have to suffer through the intricacy of feeling too much every single day of your life. It hurts like hell." "Damn you. I like you." "You like me for what?" "You. You're not like everyone else. You're so sure of yourself. You're clever. You're self-made. You're everything. Everyone likes you. So you should be mine." I laughed at how shallow those things meant for her. Someone who can't even meet me in the depths of my shattered soul. "Thanks. But those are all my disorder." As i was about to turn my back, she whispered, "I actually feel sorry for you. You still don't know what it was that you even had. And yet still choose to lose. But one day, you'll see me for who I really am. And you're going to hate yourself for turning me down." No, Ember. You're wrong. I know you. You don't know me. Our past will surely haunt us. For you, I'll just be a girl known by everyone. But in fact, known by no one. It's terrible isn't it? The way we throw people away. ****Lengkap
