Light Within Shadows

Sa mundong madalas ay tila napapaligiran ng dilim at bigat ng buhay, may isang babaeng patuloy na nagbibigay ng sarili niyang liwanag kahit na ang lahat ay tila humihila pababa sa kanya. Si Lunara Makata Valerius - a name that sounds like it came straight from poems and stars, ngunit ang buhay na kanyang ginagalawan ay malayo sa mga kwentong pantasya na nababasa lamang sa mga aklat. To everyone around her, she's that girl who always smiles, full of jokes, and seems like she carries no burden at all.Ngunit sa likod ng kanyang matatamis na ngiti at malalakas na tawa ay isang pusong matagal nang nakasanayan ang pagtitiis, pagtitiis sa bigat na hindi naman dapat pasan ng isang taong kasing-edad niya.

Lunara balances being a top student at school and working part-time at a 7-Eleven convenience store every night,Habang ang iba sa kanyang mga kaklase ay nagpapahinga na o naglalaro matapos ang klase,Sapagkat alam niyang ang talino at edukasyon lamang ang tanging sandata upang makalaya siya sa sitwasyong kanyang kinagisnan.

But the hardest thing Lunara has to bear is seeing her beloved father suffer from a rare and painful illness.Watching the person she loves most slowly slipping away breaks her heart every single day

She believed her own small light would be enough to guide her through every dark night.But she never expected that in the middle of her quiet, lonely battle, someone would finally notice her. Someone would walk into her dark world and bring colors she never knew existed.

Little did Lunara know, this person would be the first person to make her realize that even the light within shadows deserves to be protected, cherished, and loved.

maybe - she was not meant to be the light in the shadows all by herself. And maybe, for the first time in her life, she could finally rest, because someone is finally there to hold her hand and walk through the darkness with her.
