The Weight of Almost

"Love isn't always about who had your heart first. Sometimes, it's about who never dropped it."
---Juls

Silas and Isidore were the kind of love story people thought would last forever ---- sweethearts since highschool, partners in chasing dreams, each other's first love, first heartbreak, and almost forever. Life led them down separate paths: Silas became a successful Emirates cabin crew member, living her dream in Dubai; Isidore stayed behind in the Philippines, building a mechanical shop from the ground up. Distance didn't just grow between countries-----it grew between hearts.

Four years later, she comes home for a wedding, not expecting the universe to throw her right back into the orbit of Isidore----the man she tried so hard to forget. The same man who never fought to stay.

Pero minsan, kahit ilang ulit mo pang subukan, may mga pusong hindi na nagtutugma sa dulo. This time, there's someone else----Caleb. Their shared friend. Her unexpected safe place. The one who chose to stay.

Now that they've crossed paths again, Silas is faced with the hardest question: Who will you choose if you were caught up in between two different kinds of almost? Is it the one who let you go? Or the one who's been there all along?
