They were never just best friends. Aarvika Raathore and Veeransh Singhania grew up in a world where power, loyalty, and family meant everything. And in that world, they found something rare-each other. Until one moment changed it all. A betrayal they never understood. A silence that said too much. And a love that was never given a chance to survive. Nine years later, they are no longer the same. She is guarded, untouchable, and impossible to read. He is powerful, controlled, and dangerously distant. Now standing on opposite sides, bound by rivalry and history, they are forced back into each other's lives-where every glance holds a memory, and every word carries a wound. Because some stories don't end when people walk away. And some feelings... don't fade with time.

A poetry zine about the five stages of grief crafted by Grade 12 - Benevolence students of Cebu Institute of Technology - University (CIT-U) for LIT12: 21st Century Literature from the Philippines and the World. Words stitched from loss, memory, and mending. Each page a fragment of denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. This zine follows a girl grieving not for someone else, but for the version of herself she wished she could have become. In denial, she clings to the idea that she was always enough. Anger follows, turned inward at herself and the life she feels held her back. In bargaining, she dwells on what ifs, rewriting the past in her mind. Depression settles in as she mourns the dreams she never reached. In acceptance, she begins to see that growth does not end, and that she can still move forward, as a person better than she wanted to be. Still, a question lingers. Is this truly the end, or will the cycle begin again? Written by: J.J. Cero R.M. Giron D.J. Heramil M. Mulle Q.J. Pureza A.K. Rafal J.M. Suralta April 2026

Untuk merasa bahwa ia tidak sendirian. Perasaan Aurora sering kali berubah-ubah-antara menolak dan membutuhkan. Seolah hatinya terus berperang dengan dirinya sendiri. Dan semua itu bukan tanpa alasan. Keadaanlah yang perlahan membentuknya menjadi seperti itu. Author: Nadya.Df 📝07/03/2026

"First Sin" is not just a name-it is a moment, a choice, the very first time something pure turns into something that can never be undone, the point where love crosses the line of duty and becomes a force strong enough to break heaven itself; this story is not just about angels and war, it is about a heart that chose to feel when it was never meant to, about Azazel, an angel created to protect and obey, who found himself bound to Malini in a love so deep it gave him life and slowly took it away, a love that became his strength, his weakness, his reason-and eventually, his downfall; it is a deep, dark, emotional journey of betrayal, loss, memory, and pain, where truth comes too late, where the one you would die for forgets you ever existed, and where every step forward only pulls you deeper into something you can never escape, because some choices don't just change you, they define you, they haunt you, they become you... this is the story... of the first sin.
