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.
