When her beloved grandmother falls ill, Khalista is forced to step in as a live-in maid for a wealthy family. Only to find out the house belongs to Kean, her ex from a long-forgotten puppy love. Now schoolmates by day and strangers by night, they're forced to tiptoe around a secret that could shatter their carefully crafted worlds. Kean acts like he doesn't know her, and Khalista plays along because exposing the truth could mean losing the job she needs to protect the only family she has left.
Khalista has always lived in the quiet care of her lola, the only real parent she's ever known. Her father died before she was born, and her mother left her behind without a second glance. Torn between the desire to find her and the deep-rooted resentment she holds, Khalista hides behind her art and baking. Her personal havens of comfort and peace.
Kean, on the other hand, lives in a house filled with silence and riches. With absentee parents who try to buy his love with gifts and credit cards, he's learned to rely on the people who raised him. His trusted driver and two maids. Passionate about photography and fond of capturing fleeting moments, Kean masks his loneliness behind a golden smile and an insane talent at Mathematics. His weakness? A cold carton of chuckie and a memory he thought he'd buried; Khalista.
As secrets simmer beneath the surface and unresolved feelings start to resurface, the lines between past and present blur. In a house filled with rules, routines, and roles, will this half-forgotten flame burn out for good or ignite something neither of them expected?

[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

But fate doesn't favor forbidden love. As the seasons turned, so did hearts, secrets, and sacrifices. Their happiest day became the timestamp of a goodbye no one was prepared for.
