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.
