Echoes of Almost

Aria, never believed in love.

For her, it was a waste of time-a fleeting feeling that distracted people from what truly mattered. While everyone else was falling in love, she was busy standing on her own. She had dreams to chase, goals to reach, and no space for heartbreak.

She has high standard. Hindi dahil maarte- kundi dahil sawang-sawa na siyang maniwala sa mga pangakong walang kasiguraduhan. She chose herself, every single time.

But fate, as always, had its own plans.

He came quietly-uninvited, unexpected. And little by little, the walls she built began to crumble in ways she didn't understand.
Because sometimes, the things we call waste of time are the very things that make time worth living.
