She was a quiet melody in a world full of noise.
He was the song that everyone wanted to hear.
Elira Celestine Ferrer Esguerra never meant to fall for Ezren Zephaniah Navarro Velez. The school's golden boy, debate team genius by day, band's brooding frontman by night.
They weren't meant to mix. They spoke in different volumes.
She hid in her journals, he lived onstage.
But fate? It had other plans.
A shared project.
A misplayed chord.
A secret only music could solve.
In between heartbeats and guitar strings, laughter and late-night arguments, mystery and healing, something starts to bloom.
Not love.
Not yet.
But a rhythm. A pulse. A beginning.
And maybe... that rhythm was never meant to be played alone.

Keep This Love Alive (Completed)
"Ang maraming tubig ay walang kakayahang makatupok sa nag-aalab na pag-ibig, ni mapapigil man ng mga baha." Pag-ibig? Ang ilan ay nagsasabi na ang pag-ibig ay labaha na mag-iiwan ng dugo sa iyong kaluluwa. Ang ilan ay nagsasabi na ang pag-ibig ay isang gutom para sa walang katapusang pangangailangan. Ang ilan ay nagsasabi na ang pag-ibig ay parang ipa na tinatangay ng hangin sa parang. Ang ilan ay nagsasabi na ang pag-ibig ay walang katapusang kalungkutan sa ilalim ng araw. Nguni"t tinakpan ko ang aking pakinig sa kanila. Sapagka"t sa kaduwagan ko nakikita ang kanilang mga sinalita. Ito ay takot na puso na hindi lumaban kaya nabigo. Ito ang pangarap na takot sa paggising na mas pipiliin na lang pumikit kaysa harapin ang sakit. Natatakot mamatay upang mabuhay. Kapag ang gabi ay masyadong malungkot at ang daan ay masyadong mahaba, at sa tingin mo na ang pag-ibig ay para lamang sa matatapang at malalakas, pinapatunayan lang nito na'sa pag-ibig ay hindi ka tapat. Ang Pag-ibig ay maihahalintulad sa pakikipagsapalaran sa buwaya. Hindi mo siya maaaring makuha sa isang bingwit. Hindi mo mailalabas ang kanyang dila sa isang panali, ni makakapaglagay ka ng panali sa kanyang ilong. Ni hindi mo mahihiwa ang kanyang balat ng sundang na bakal, ni hindi ka maaaring makipaglaro sa kanya gaya ng isang ibon. At kahit na mauwi sa walang kabuluhan ang pakikipagsapalaran, kung Pag-ibig ang iyong dahilan, walang sandali ang nasayang. At ang maraming tubig ay walang kakayahang makatupok sa nag-aalab na pag-ibig, ni mapapigil man ng mga baha. C l a s s i c R o m a n c e Date Started: April 21, 2019 End: January 11, 2020Complete
In the Still of Summer
Navier Aisah Ganendra just wanted to survive the semester. With backlogs, late shifts, and academic pressure breathing down her neck, she didn't have time for unnecessary distractions-especially not one that looked like him. Elkairo Saide Alkaezar wasn't exactly the friendliest face on campus. Cold stares, quiet presence, and a camera that saw more than it should-he wasn't someone people casually approached. And she wasn't exactly in the mood to talk to someone who made the air feel ten times heavier. They knew each other... by name? By passing glances? No one's sure. But when University Days forced their paths to twist into something neither of them asked for, things started to change. It wasn't love at first sight. It wasn't even friendship. But in the silence between events, in the glances exchanged beneath the harsh sunlight, and in the stillness of that one unforgettable summer... Something began.
