Kung Saan Ako Payapa

(Luha at Liham Series #1)

Jascha Annika Juangco admires Raiko Rafael Yuzon because, aside from his physical appearance and talent in dancing, she knows he has a big heart. Para sa kanya, hindi lang siya isang intro sa kanta, o chorus, o bridge. Hindi lang siya isang himig o ritmo, dahil nasa kanya na ang lahat. For her, Raiko isn't just a single element or part of a song. He is the song--the melody, the beat, and the lyrics.

For her, it was only Raiko Rafael Yuzon in the picture and no one else. But then, life has many surprises. Julian came--ah, no. Julian had always been there; she just hadn't noticed him. And when she started to notice Julian, everything turned upside down. From annoyance, she developed a crush on him. From a small crush, it blossomed into love. And from a gentle love, it grew into something bigger--more intense. Until it began to destroy them, like a building or tower slowly collapsing.

Ang mga lubid ay bumubuhol sa kanyang isipan--gumugulo at sadyang nakalilito. Paulit-ulit siyang binabato ng mga tanong.

Saan siya pupunta, kung ang minsang kapayapaan na hatid ng pag-ibig na alam niya ay unti-unti nang nawawala? Hindi na payapa, magulo na. Hindi na tahimik, maingay na. Nananakit na, humahapdi, naninira.
