Long before the flood of sorrows, regrets, and gut-wrenching heartaches, a smile was once her comfort-warm welcoming facade to anyone whom it may gaze. Although, it didn't last when her parents died, and that didn't go through well for her-it was maddening.
As Carina Servijal felt her life crumbles, so does her heart. With the thought of nothing left to go home to, no warm embrace to look forward when going home from a draining day in school-it's just nothing but a house with furnitures-field with memories.
It was during the last year of college did she meet someone that ended the suffering, replaced by an endless sea of hope. Bringing back the spark within her. Iñigo Reoj Zuñiga willingly shared her burdens-the man who oath to make her the happiest woman on earth-carrying the weight on his back when she couldn't bear any of world's cruelty and unfairness in life. He was there by her side, celebrated her joys and helped guide her through her darkest moments.
Alas, their love would have last if it wasn't for the secrets unveiling on its own. Carina learned that loving someone comes with a price... And that was her precious heart.
In her mind, no matter how hard it is to face reality-how difficult life was to her-she cherished every memories as if it were a souvenirs to keep.
