Aliyah Ruiz is not the girl that every man wishes to be with. She's rich but yeah, dry or maybe - simple. Aliyah doesn't believe in relationships and in love. Even Cupid can't shoot her heart to fall in love. Yeah, aridity hit her so bad. Wala sa bokabularyo niya ang salitang magmahal. Magmahal sa hindi niya kadugo. Sa hindi niya kakilala. Ngunit sa hindi inaasahang panahon, at sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon, hindi sinasadyang panain ang kanyang puso ni Kupido. She found him. Nagkaroon ng 'sila'.
But. Wait. Naging sila nga ba? From 'ours' going back to 'mine'. From 'we' going back to 'me'. The expectations exploded all of a sudden.
She expected so much from him. Misinterpreted. Falsified. Misstated. Misunderstood. She fell. He didn't. She loved. He didn't. She sacrificed. He still, didn't. She thought he knew him from the very start. It's harder than she thought that this would happen. She thought he is different. But. She. Was. Absolutely. WRONG.
She fell too fast. She crashed too hard. She'll return, Lemery, she'll return - soon, unexpectedly. The fearless, dauntless, and the gutsy Aliyah Ruiz, will be back. All of her expectations will be gone. Sans misinterpretations, sans falsifications, sans expectations. Still, she knew they were. She still thought that they were..
I THOUGHT WE WERE.

"You may not want to be in my head. You might find someone other than myself that you won't be able to forget. It'll haunt you like a nightmare you can't tell. " "Silly. What's in that tough demeanor, ate Cray?" tumawa lang si Ember at kumapit ulit sa braso ko. "I like you. That's enough right?" Napailing na lang ako sa inaasal nito. If she'll learn our history, she'll then understand. Pinalis ko yung kamay nitong nakakapit na naman sa braso ko. "Compose yourself, Ember. I don't like you. You're just like a sister to me. Someone I had to protect with my life." I caught the way those words cut through her. It's visible in the same set of lifeless coal eyes that I am most familiar with. "Bakit?" I stared at her blankly. "Atleast tell me what you don't like about me." "That's exactly why it hurts the way it hurts." Napangiti ako ng mapait. "You have too many questions, too many words, in your head. But those will be left unsaid. Like me, you have to suffer through the intricacy of feeling too much every single day of your life. It hurts like hell." "Damn you. I like you." "You like me for what?" "You. You're not like everyone else. You're so sure of yourself. You're clever. You're self-made. You're everything. Everyone likes you. So you should be mine." I laughed at how shallow those things meant for her. Someone who can't even meet me in the depths of my shattered soul. "Thanks. But those are all my disorder." As i was about to turn my back, she whispered, "I actually feel sorry for you. You still don't know what it was that you even had. And yet still choose to lose. But one day, you'll see me for who I really am. And you're going to hate yourself for turning me down." No, Ember. You're wrong. I know you. You don't know me. Our past will surely haunt us. For you, I'll just be a girl known by everyone. But in fact, known by no one. It's terrible isn't it? The way we throw people away. ****Complete
Save to Heart (Student Series #2)
Student Series 2: "Bahala Na" Attitude 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝 Manifesting a fatalistic attitude is nearly a norm inside a classroom and is often practiced by students who have lost their will or do not have any will at all to make a change in their life. They submit themselves to the Higher Being or anyone superior to them through tough times. Bahala na si Lord. Bahala na si Batman. Bahala na; babagsak din naman. Bahala na; at least tapos na. Aspasia Estiana was naturally born to be competitive for a reason so this kind of philosophy and bad habit is a blur in her dictionary. Alam niya ang sariling kakayahan at hindi siya kuntento sa 'puwede na' kung kayang higitan pa. Hindi puwedeng basta 'bahala na' kung may mababago pa. In fact, she can secure her valedictorian award if only not these two geniuses have to transfer in her school and overtake her place. But instead of feeling threatened, she sees them as some worthy academic rivals. Finally. Eventually, she builds a friendship with the kinder as she secures a special space in her life for the austere one... not realizing she just takes the risk of letting things happen out of hand for the first time. Little does she know, saving him a spot in her heart means taking her life into the pit of devastation.Complete

Beyond Repair (Beyond Series #1)
Beyond Series #1 When you're in love, you could be the most stupid person you could ever be. Wrong feels right. Black looks white. Smiles over cries. To be in pain means to be vain. Toleration seems like an obligation. All for love. Kung may isang taong magpapatunay nito, siya na ang pinaka-kwalipikado: Dana Pineda, a fine arts student, talented painter and certified love-sucker. Almost four years of relationship and counting, envisioned future together, first love and first and everything--reasons engraved in Dana's mind that serve as a constant reminder as to why she should keep the toxic relationship with her long-time boyfriend, Jared. Para kay Dana, kung hindi si Jared, wala ng ibang tatanggap at magmamahal sa kaniya. Ito na ang kaniyang magiging una't huli at wala ng iba pa. For her, she's just an unattractive, insecure, and less worthy woman oozing with flaws, issues, and emotional baggage. Wala namang ibang lalaki pa ang gugustuhin ang isang babaeng gaya niya. There's no one else for her. Or so she thought. Her life's greatest plot twist is about to happen, when Javi Aragonza, the popular basketball team captain, barged in without knocking.Complete
Loving Aria
"Hanggang ganito na lang ba? Ang tingin mo sakin pamatid ng panandaliang pangangailangan mo?" Iritableng napatingin ako sa pigurang iyon ni Corinne. Si Corinne! Fuck! Bakit ko ba kasi sya dinamay sa gulong ito. "Sinabi ko na sayo nung una pa lang di ba? Stay away from me!" Gigil na singhal ko sa kanya. "Dikit ka ng dikit! Tapos ngayon ako pa lumalabas na masama." Tila matutunaw naman ako ng unti-unting tumulo yung luha sa mga mata niya. "I love you, Aria. Pero kahit ilang beses ko namang sabihin iyon sayo wala lang di ba? Kasi until now hindi mo pa din kayang ibigay yung sarili mo ng buong-buo. Kasi hanggang ngayon nakakulong ka pa din sa kahapon mo. " "Hindi totoo yan.." Nanghihinang napaupo ako. What have I done? Bakit ba paulit ulit ko na lang syang nasasaktan? "I can't save you, Aria." Punung puno ng pait na sabi nya. "I can't save you kasi ayaw mong magpasalo. Hindi lahat sasaktan ka. Kelangan mo din magtiwala na hindi ko kayang saktan ka." Natawa lang ako ng pagak. "Tell me, Corinne. What's holding you back? Akala ko ba mahal mo ko? Bakit hindi mo magawang ibigay ng buo yung sarili mo?" Pinalis ni Corinne yung luhang umaagos sa magkabila niyang pisngi. "Because I know you. I know na pag nakuha mo na ko, Game over na. And I don't want to end everything that we have just because of that. " "Wow!" Napapalatak ako sa kanya. "Now, who have trust issues sa ating dalawa ngayon? " Ngumiti siya ng pilit. Another broken smile. How many times should I break her before she gives me up? "If I give myself to you now, Will you give me your heart?" Fuck! No! I don't know. I really don't know. She can have me. But I know that she can never have my heart.Complete
Even So, She Bloomed
Yung tipong hindi achiever, hindi rin pabibo, pero laging may matang nakatingin. Rose grew up surrounded by rules, expectations, and fake friendships that slowly crumbled. Until one day, she met Ericka... and then, Hanz. Si Hanz, ang lalaking akala ng lahat, okay. Masayahin, charming, palakaibigan. Pero hindi nila alam, he's been carrying his own ghosts. Habang unti-unting bumabalik ang kulay sa mundo ni Rose, bigla namang umatras si Hanz. Timing, trauma, takot-lahat 'yon, sabay-sabay. This isn't just about love. It's about blooming kahit masakit. About holding hands kahit may takot. About learning to stay, even when everything says walk away. Because even when the world didn't believe in her, she bloomed anyway. She bloomed with silence, courage, fear, hope, doubt and a heart that never stopped. Disclaimer: This story touches on healing, trauma, and the quiet pressures we carry. Written in Taglish, it captures the raw and poetic moments of growing up.
