The Broken Melody (CTU Series #7)

How to mend a broken song? Would it be replaced by a new melody or would a harmony can bring it back to life?

Grace, isa siyang musical genius. She can sing in different genres, alam lahat ng mga musical instruments at nagging batikan sa larangan ng musika sa edad na seven years old. Pero isang trahedya ang magtutulak sa kanya na umuwi sa probinsyang kinalakihan ng kanyang magulang, lalo na ng kanyang Lolo Felipe.

Maninibago siya sa mundo ng probinsya, pero sa kagustuhan ng ama nya na makalimutan nito ang trahedya sa syudad, ay hinayaan niyang itong manirahan doon. Pero sa pananalagi ni Grace sa umuusbong na bayan ng Tuburan, makikita niya ang isang bagong mundo.

Pero ang kanyang tinatagong sakit, mahihilom kaya ng probinsya? O kailangan niya ulit kalimutan ang musika habang-buhay?

"Bakit mo ba ako pinagtitiisan?! Miserable ang buhay ko baka madamay ka lang sa pagiging malas ko!"
"Ikaw ang ligaya ko Grace! Ikaw!"

Academic excellency. Love that abides all. Deception that destroys everything. Pain that isolates a person away from people. Academic rivals that lead to confusion. Mistakes that haunt the soul. A heart filled with hatred. Life against the odds. Questions that still have no answers.

And a rainbow community that still faces discrimination.

Cebu Technological University is a collaboration series with Cebuano writers who left, graduated and are still studying in the said institution.
