Ours, After All
They were each other's firsts-
first love, first heartbreak, first dream of forever.
Lucas Alvaro, a gifted pianist, and Serena Dela Vega, a passionate photographer, once believed their love could withstand anything. But fate had other plans. A forbidden pregnancy, a tragedy that tore their families apart, and a painful separation left them broken and scarred.
Years later, Serena returns to the Philippines with a secret she can no longer hide-their daughter. A chance encounter in a quiet café forces them to face the past they both tried to escape.
Lucas, still haunted by grief and betrayal, struggles between resentment and the undeniable love that never died. Serena, torn between guilt and longing, must confront the truth she kept from him all these years.
As they try to rebuild what was lost, one question lingers:
Can love, scarred by pain and time, truly find its way back?
A story of first love, second chances, and the ties that refuse to be broken-
because in the end, they are Ours, After All.

What ifs lead you into confusion. "What if hindi ko siya nagustuhan?" "What if hindi umabot sa ganon? Will it stay the same?" "What if hindi mag-work?" These are the thoughts that constantly echo in the mind of Nayeli Seraphine Lucero. She often finds herself overthinking, fully aware that it's hurting her.

The confusion he felt was passed on to her, causing miscommunication and leading to misunderstanding. Will Nayeli's love for Gideon ever be seen and understood by him? Or will the echoes of her love remain unheard and unseen?
