With Love, Ziana

By the time Ziana turned 16, she's convinced that she will marry Kairo- her long-time high school crush. Mas matibay pa ang pagka-gusto ni Ziana kay Kairo kaysa sa pagmamahal ng mga mag-asawang dalawang dekada nang kasal pero nagagawa pa rin manloko, she's just that loyal. Sabi ng mama niya, pwede na raw siya magboyfriend pagka nasa tamang edad na siya. For Ziana, it was at sixteen, kaya naman nagconfess agad siya kay Kairo after ng birthday niya with a letter. "Dear My Future Husband, Kairo."

Kairo knew Ziana since kindergarten, she just didn't know it. Palibhasa lagi siyang dumi-diretso sa bahay niya para umastang padre de pamilya. He was incapable of any distractions, especially ngayon na pwede na working student siya and scholar ng bayan. He couldn't help but reject the poor girl, pero like I said, Ziana likes him more than he thinks.

Ziana never gave up on him despite how difficult Kairo can be. She wrote him letters everyday with the same salutation, Dear My Future Husband, Kairo.

Kairo only fell deeper for her, until he couldn't control his feelings, and answered Ziana officially.

But of course, like how life can be, storms and battles will come unexpectedly. With the gap between Ziana's college life and Kairo's, as well as the difference in social class, can Ziana's statement when she turned 16 withstand 'til it comes true? Or will the trajectory in their lives change it?
