The Situationship Series - Book I
Josiah "Santi" Villareal - 28 y/o - Las Pinas City
Astrid Kyle "Cloud" Montellano - 24 y/o - Las Pinas City
The connotation of navigating through life at your own course and pace in this digital world can be quite challenging especially if fate decides to intervene.
Santi and Cloud, each wandering through life on their own directions was brought together by an infamous dating app in spite of having lived their entire lives in the same traffic-filled city.
Santi Villareal has it all figured out- or so he thought. Having his life laid out ever since he grasped the concept of planning, he meticulously looks at all situations in every possible perspective. One driven by ambition, rationality and sense, Santi could argue that straying away from his self-made path would send him in a frenzy hence why he makes sure that all the people he meet would have significant contribution to his growth through and through. What are the chances that because of just one single person he would be left bemused?
Cloud Montellano is as free as her name insinuates. Very skilled in terms of work, performance and intelligence but often finds herself believing in frivolous things such as horoscopes and readings. Headstrong to the point of being borderline stubborn, Cloud will always opt to stray away from conflict along with drama because to her- 'It is what it is'. Taking life's challenges and facing them confidently all the while not wanting to bother anyone. Living life carefree and spontaneously, who knew that a guy she would meet on a dating app would change her outlook on how to helm this turmoil called life?
