Elijah grew up in a wealthy family, surrounded by expectations and appearances, but his heart was never free. For as long as he could remember, he had been hopelessly in love with his childhood friend, Kalayaan-known more intimately to him as Naya.
What drew him in wasn't just her beauty, but her unwavering strength. Naya held fast to her pursuit of celibacy and her firm belief in the sanctity of love before marriage. Elijah found himself captivated by her discipline and the way she stood her ground in a world that bent easily to desire. Yet, for all his admiration, he remained blind to the quiet truth-that Naya's heart had long been beating for him.
Kalayaan, on the other hand, had learned to act oblivious. She had convinced herself that Elijah was drawn to Kristine, the elegant daughter of one of their family friends. To protect her pride-and her heart-she chose silence, burying her feelings deep beneath practiced smiles and polite distance.
Two souls, both lost in misunderstanding: Elijah, too blind to recognize the love before him, and Kalayaan, too cautious to reveal the love she had carried since childhood.
But fate has a way of pulling threads together. The question remained-would these two hopeless souls finally meet each other's hearts, or would they continue to miss the truth that had been within reach all along?

Shy Eyes & Rose Skies
Rose has always believed in love-the kind that sweeps you off your feet, the kind worth waiting for. But after years of holding onto Ezra, the boy who gave her just enough attention to keep her hoping but never enough to take the next step, she's starting to wonder if maybe she's been chasing a dream that doesn't exist. Enter Mateo-the new guy in school from Oregon. Quiet, reserved, and with shy eyes that say more than his words ever could. He only has one friend, keeps to himself, and blends into the background... until Rose walks into his world. Mateo falls first, and he falls hard. Every smile she gives, every laugh he overhears, only pulls him deeper. But Rose is still tangled in the almost-love with Ezra, too blinded to see what's right in front of her. Slowly, though, she begins to notice-the way Mateo listens, the way he shows up without asking for anything in return, the way his silence feels steadier than Ezra's loudest promises. And when she finally lets go of the boy who never chose her, she realizes she's falling-this time into something real, something lasting. A hopeless romantic story about timing, letting go, and discovering that the quietest love can sometimes be the loudest.Complete

"I can consider your request," he finally replied, causing her face to light up with hope. The weight of her desperation seemed to lift momentarily, replaced by a glimmer of possibility. But then, Kabir paused, making her heart sink. "On one condition," he added, his voice low and serious. The room suddenly felt suffocating, as if the air had been sucked out, leaving only tension and uncertainty. "Finish what we started the other day." His words hung in the air, heavy with unspoken desires and unfinished business. Kiara furrowed her brows, confusion evident on her face. "What do you mean?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly. Her mind raced, desperately trying to piece together the fragments of their shared history. Kabir leaned in closer, whispering into her ear.
