A Place Called Us

Ivelle Peralta was forced to carry responsibilities that were never hers to bear. While some children her age happily played outside, she experienced the opposite. She was trapped in responsibilities, where she needed to do household chores, wash clothes, cook meals, and take care of her three younger siblings. At such a young age, she had to figure everything out on her own. She was forced to grow up too soon and take on the role of an adult.

Orion Matthew Valderama was raised with love and care by his family, surrounded by warmth, support, and understanding. Unlike Ivelle, he never had to carry burdens beyond his years or sacrifice his childhood to take care of others.

For the first time, she met someone who showed her a world she had never known-a world where being loved, protected, and cared for was normal.

But just as she began to believe that happiness could finally find its way to her, fate had other plans.
