They've known each other for twenty years.
From high school hallways in Manila to quiet ryokan weekends in Tokyo, from midnight emails to lost letters never sent, Donato Antonio Laxa Pangilinan and Belinda Angelito Mariano were always almost something. First loves who never quite got the timing right.
Now in their mid-thirties, Donato is a celebrated architect in Singapore. Belinda is a lawyer in Manila - disciplined, distant, and carrying the weight of every unspoken word.
When a housing project forces them to work together again, the past resurfaces in quiet moments, shared glances, and all the things they thought they buried. Can two people who once promised forever - without ever saying it - rebuild something real from the ruins?

𝐔𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 | 🇯🇲
✨ 𝐔𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 ✨ A man accused. A woman misunderstood. A love neither of them saw coming. People think having money means your life is perfect. That you've never struggled. Never had to fight for anything. But I know pressure. I know silence. I know what it means to build yourself in the dark. My name is 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐳-𝐑𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬. I'm 27, a surgeon at WestLake Premier Medical, and I come from wealth-but I'm not the girl who wants to be kept. I'm the woman who earns her place. Who dreams big, works harder, and builds the life she wants-one heartbeat at a time. Love? It's cute, but not on my to-do list. Then there's 𝐉𝐚𝐡𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐫 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐬𝐨𝐧. The media calls him a real estate mogul. The streets know him as the boy who went to prison for a crime he swears he didn't commit. Ten years behind bars stole more than his youth-it stole his faith in justice. 𝐖𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭. 𝐖𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬. He's dark, intense, and full of scars. I'm light, focused, and on a mission. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐞?

The Language of Summer
Lorenz's life was predictable. A small, bustling coastal town in the Philippines, university applications, and the constant, familiar rhythm of his language, Tagalog. He was nineteen, easygoing, and entirely unprepared for the American summer that was about to arrive. Lucas flew in from the United States-handsome, refined, and completely out of place. He was the son of Lorenz's mother's close friend, sent to the tropics for a month-long vacation. He knew crisp English and nothing of the sticky heat, the crowded jeepneys, or the deep, complex hospitality of a Filipino home. The two were immediately bound by obligation. Lorenz was Lucas's unwilling guide; Lucas was Lorenz's linguistic burden. They were forced to navigate small spaces, loud family dinners, and streets full of noise, communicating through simple sentences and frustrated gestures. Every encounter became a study in translation. Lorenz struggled to find the perfect English phrase to explain a cultural nuance. Lucas struggled to understand why rice is life. But as the initial annoyance faded, something else began to form in the gaps between the two languages. In shared silences, in accidental touches, and in the effort to simply understand each other, the distance between them narrowed. This is a story about what happens when two worlds collide, and when the words you use aren't enough to contain the feelings you are trying to hide. ........

Maybe, This Time?
It was a fairytale that never happened. An ending without a "happily ever after" because of not having a "once upon a time". He was afraid of getting hurt. But, he didn't think about the possible "what ifs". She never knew. He thought that it might be impossible for her to feel the same way. She didn't want to assume things. Hoping and assuming without any proof is useless. He decided to walk away to move on from this feeling he has towards her. She got heartbroken. He did too; even regrets it. She thought she'd move on after these years. Apparently, it was too hard for her. He didn't know where to find her; even contact her. But still, got scared; until now. But, he left a clue where to find him if ever she wishes to. It's up to her if she can find him. Maybe, this time, they could finally have the "happily ever after" they've been dreaming of since then? ------- STARTED : 29 JULY 2016 ENDED : 15 NOVEMBER 2016 Copyright, ⓒmissnd21Complete

Rishi never meant to fall in love-not with him, anyway. All she wanted was a taste of freedom. Moritz wasn't aiming either. Bratty, stubborn, always ready to argue-she was a walking headache he was asked to look after. Their banter became friendship. Their friendship became something they couldn't name. Until everything fell apart. She had secrets. He felt betrayed. And when it ended, they became polite, distant strangers who once almost had something real. But love, as they've learned, doesn't care for pride, timing, or unspoken truths. And sometimes, the arrow that missed the first time still knows exactly where to land.Complete
