They say "The One That Got Away" is the person you'll always wonder about-the love that slipped through your fingers, the almost-but-not-quite. I thought that was our story. We had love, but life had other plans. We drifted apart, each walking separate paths, carrying memories of what could have been.
But fate had its own twist. Just when I thought our chapter had ended, life brought us back together-stronger, wiser, and ready for a love that was meant to last. What once felt like a bittersweet ending turned into a beautiful beginning.
This is the story of how my TOTGA became my forever.

[THEN] Malay Natin: Siguro Ngayon
There are some things that aren't worth keeping. Nastia Kahlila Quijano has been convincing herself that walking away was the right thing she did. Even if it's already been three long years ever since she left. But with every passing second and every in-between of those years, she couldn't seem to getaway with the feelings still lingering in her system. She was haunted by the ideas of him, what might have been, and their memories together. Each day, each night; it was a choice she didn't want to regret. She was determined to move forward. But the biggest relapse struck her unexpectedly. All of her effort and hard work went down the drain. She couldn't seem to pull herself back from the memories reeling her in. From the phantom lurking in the form of her next door neighbor seemingly pulling her back to his arms. Maybe she should run away. Far enough where they wouldn't meet ever again. Far from his reach. Maybe she should treat him indifferently until he finally gives up. But Nika couldn't seem to handle the thought of him walking away and ending up with someone else. She couldn't have that either. Maybe, it was time for her to let things happen like clockwork. Maybe fighting it was futile. Maybe the right thing to do was run back to him. In his arms wide open. A place in the world that's only meant for her. Maybe, this time, they were meant to be. Book cover by: goldenaraw (on twitter)Complete

Say I Stay
WARNING: R18 | MATURE CONTENT Real life, most of the times, does not have happy endings. In Ria's case, it was both of her lives: novel and real. The only difference is now that she's living outside the book, life goes on. It doesn't just end if the author says so. Now that her life needs to continue without her longed happy ending, Ria carries on bearing more than the pain, the sadness, and the heartbreak of not herself, but of the gentlemen who took her as a part of the family. -------------------------------------------------------- This story is the 2ND BOOK of the spin-off: "Where did you Say?!". It is going to be a continuation and will be picking up where it got left off (last chapter of Book 1). Please do read the 1ST BOOK so you are aware of what is going on. If not, then go ahead. YOLO it (again LOL)! Also, this will be written in TagLish, but majorly in Tagalog (I hope again) this time. -------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction and imagination. Names, characters, places, and anything else written in this story are purely imagination. Any part of this story that is resemblance to other stories are purely coincidental.Complete

Last Tears
"He is my prologue, but not my epilogue." Saige Anais is only rooting for a peaceful life and faultless love, but fate has other plans for her. Despite her young age, life didn't get easy on her. When she was young, the people whom she cherished and loved the most, died, leaving her in a state of pure sorrow and grief. When she recovered, she thought that everything would fall into its proper places as she had already met the man she thought she would spend the rest of her life with- but she was wrong. A situation occurred that forced her to make a foolish decision. She thought that the best way to fix her problem was to leave and escape reality. She walked away, convinced that it was the only solution to her problems. Days, weeks, months and years pass by. She returned with a shattered soul from the past. She wanted to fill in the missing pieces in her heart, and she believes that she'll only be able to do that if she can get the forgiveness of the people she'd left hanging in the past- especially the man that she loves. Will she be able to finish her task without tearing and breaking apart? Will she be able to find a peaceful life and faultless love before time runs out? And would that person be the same man from her past, or would it be a different man to fulfill the true love that she's looking for? WATTPADOLOGY WINNER SELF-PUBLISHED (2021)Complete
