"You were the one who left, but somehow, I'm the one who's still lost."
Wherein,
Aiah Arceta thought she had already left the past behind-the heartbreak, the unanswered questions, and the hollow promises. But when the person who shattered her heart walks back into her life, the wounds she thought had healed start bleeding again. As she faces her unresolved emotions, Aiah begins to ask:
Can time really mend a heart that was never given closure? Do goodbyes really mean the end, or are they just the beginning of a story left unfinished?
This is a journey of love, loss, and rediscovery, where Aiah must confront the painful truth:
sometimes, the hardest part isn't saying goodbye-it's trying to forget someone who was never meant to leave.
