Ang hirap pa lang mabuhay ng hindi ka nakadepende sa ibang tao.
Ang hirap pa lang harapin ang totoong mundo nang walang mabigat na takot sa dibdib. Ang hirap pa lang kumawala sa pamilyang turing lang sa'yo ay isang investment fund. At kapag hindi ka na nila napakinabangan, bumabaliktad ang lahat sa'yo.
Ikaw na ang nagiging masama, ikaw na ang madamot, ikaw na ang makasarili, at ikaw na ang mapagmataas sa sarili.
Magsabi ka lang ng mapait na katotohanan, mali ka na sa paningin ng iba. Ipaglaban mo man ang sarili mo sa maraming tao, alam mong walang kahit isa na kakampi sa'yo-kahit iyong mga taong inaasahan mong ipagtatanggol ka sa maraming tao.
That's how bitter the version of my life is.
Behind her academic achievements, who really is Alianah Zyrine Mendez? A simple part-timer student at Vermont Cafe, a loving sister to her siblings, an achiever to her blockmates, or.... someone who is just afraid of embracing it's own solitude and flaws?
She didn't realize that there's someone from afar who can lend a hand for her, na kaya siyang ipaglaban sa mapanghusga niyang pamilya, iyong lalaking hindi puro kamalian ang nakikita sa kanya, 'yung lalaking handang masaktan kahit na nahihirapan, at 'yung natatanging lalaking hindi mapapagod na mahalin siya sa kabila ng madilim nitong buhay.
Under his safe haven, I can finally be free from the harsh and cruel nightmare of my life. Hindi ko na kailanaman pa mararanasan ang pait na idinulot nila sa akin.
And with him, I already found my haven under the hues skies.

***
(Under Pleasure Book 2) Juliana Arevalo has done her best to bury her feelings for Jacob Delaney when circumstances broke them up years ago.

However, she could not deny that she's still in love with the man who broke her heart into pieces. When a chance to be with Jacob again appears, would Juliana hold onto it even with the risk of losing everything that they have? Or would she finally accept the reality that they weren't meant to be?
