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. Disclaimer: This story is written in Taglish.

An Epistolary ♡ | Sports Romance 🏀📰 In life, it's the little things that escape us... the glance that stays just a heartbeat too long, a forgotten cup of coffee cooling as someone drifts away in thought, the quiet ticking of time drowned out by the noise we choose to ignore. It's in these fleeting fragments, the shy smile tucked behind seriousness, moments of hesitation or silence that speak louder than words can carry concealed meanings that go unrecognized. Even the way someone's eyes brighten when talking about what they used to love, the silences thick with meaning, the little gestures, and unconscious habits that hidden emotions quietly live, waiting for someone else to notice them. It's within these unnoticed walls that Cailey Saavedra and Siobhan Rivero's fate unfolds at Sinclair Authreo de Epiphania University. What once were simple crossings now pulse with meaning. As Cailey steps into her role as Courtside Reporter, covering Siobhan's games, she starts to catch the subtle signs, the quiet glances, the little gesture that reveal something deeper than words. Amid the roar of cheering crowds and the rush of article's deadlines, a delicate, unspoken connection blooms, written not in headlines but in the silence between them.
