It Was Always You

From childhood promises whispered beneath the Palawan sun, to grown-up dreams that took them miles apart-this is the story of Elijah James Flores and Hiraya Katherine Gonzales. A story of innocence, of first loves, of heartbreak and healing, and of finding your way back home.
Elijah, an adventurous boy born into a family of thrill-seekers, dreamed of flying among the clouds. Raya, a sweet girl with flour-dusted cheeks and starry eyes, dreamed of baking love into every recipe. Together, they were childhood best friends, secret keepers, and soulmates in the making.
But life doesn't always follow the plans drawn in sandcastles. When dreams led them to different paths-one to the skies, the other staying grounded in love-they had to choose between chasing the future or holding onto the past.
This is a story of growing up, letting go, and always finding your way back-to each other, and to the love that was real from the very beginning.
Because no matter the distance, no matter the years...
It was always you.

Gracefully Yours
"Lord, kung siya nga... Ikaw ang bahala. Pero kung hindi, alisin mo ang nararamdaman ko." Reina aiya Cruz, 26, moved to Quezon City with nothing but broken dreams, a journal, and a heart that's learning to heal. Wala na siya sa dating church, wala na rin siya sa maling relasyon na muntik nang sumira sa pananampalataya niya. Now she just wants to start again-with God. Nathaniel "Nate" De Leon, 28, is a worship leader, youth mentor, and servant of God. Faithful, consistent, tahimik pero totoo at ang love life? hindi niya ito priority. Hindi rin siya naghahanap-hanggang sa makilala niya ang bagong attendee sa church... si Reina. Sa loob ng Christ in You Fellowship, unti-unting nabuo ang pagkakaibigan nila. Masaya, totoo, at puno ng pag-asa. Pero kahit parehong Kristyano, hindi ibig sabihin ay madali ang lahat. May mga delays, doubts, misunderstandings, at mga panahong ang tanging masasandalan lang ay ang Salita ng Diyos. This is not your typical romance story. It's a story of grace, waiting, spiritual growth, and love that honors God. Hindi sila perfect-pero ang Diyos na gumagabay sa kanila, tapat at perpekto. Will they walk gracefully toward each other-or gracefully walk away, trusting God's will? This story is a work of fiction.

His most-wanted BRIDE
Never in my life I imagined my whole twenty three years of my life changing with the single "yes" from HIM. I never wanted him to say yes! Hell, I never expected my father to propose for my marriage in the first place, with him.. that too in-front of the whole kingdom... to the King The RATANVEER CHAUHAN. And i have no clue why such a great king and the ruler wants to marry me, I never really knew him. I know nothing about him except his name. Probably it's the same with him, there is no way he could have heard of me let alone hate or.. love! Then Why ME??? And this is my story, the story of the Princess Sanyukta who was pushed into the loveless marriage by her own family. Her journey to unknown empire, his kingdom. Let's learn the difficulties she faced, joy that she enjoyed, Pride that she became and how her life turned upside down along with the people of "their kingdom" through her journey, the never ending saga of wisdom, charisma and love.
