Palaweño Stories

Two lives, unaware of each other, moving along their own paths. Lyra with her quiet dreams, Jeo with his sunlit world in Palawan. Then one summer, their paths cross. A fleeting moment, a glance, and everything they thought was ordinary starts to feel extraordinary. A story about unexpected encounters, hearts learning to trust, and love that finds its way even when it's unspoken. Lyra Evangeline Buenaventura Jeremiah Emmanuel Ong

Samantha Eunice Del Mundo was only meant to serve, to sweep the floors he walked on, to prepare the meals he barely touched, to exist quietly in the background of Jeremiah Emmanuel Ong's life. To him, she was nothing more than a housemaid. Someone hired to tend, to care, to stay invisible. But silence has a way of speaking. In her quiet devotion, in the softness of her presence, something began to stir in Jeremiah's guarded world. He pushed her away, yet his heart betrayed him each time her tears slipped where she thought no one could see. He kept her at a distance, yet her absence left a strange emptiness he could not name. And so, in the quiet rhythm of their ordinary days, something unexplainable began to take root-not born of words or promises, but of glances, gestures, and unspoken ache. Sometimes, love doesn't come with grand beginnings. Sometimes, it blooms softly, in the places no one expects in the silence of a home, in the heart of a man who once refused to feel, and in the quiet strength of a woman who stayed. With memories a heart will never forget, can love survive when one heart longs in silence while the other hides behind coldness?
