Form of Love Series #1
TO BE LOVED IS TO BE HEARD.
Ma. Gabbriela was the kind of girl everyone admired but never truly knew. A student teacher, passionate about her dreams, and a daughter so well-behaved, so responsible, na hindi kailanman naging sakit ng ulo sa buhay ng parents nya.
Growing up, she learned to stay quiet. She built walls, wore a smile, and became the "perfect daughter" everyone expected her to be. Hindi siya puwedeng mapagod, hindi puwedeng magkamali. She always had to have it all together-kasi sabi nila, she's the strong one. The reliable one. The one they don't need to worry about.
But no one ever asked her what SHE needed.
And then, one ordinary day, something extraordinary happened.
For the first time in her life, someone looked at her-really looked at her. Someone listened, without interrupting. Without judgment. Someone chose to stay, even when her voice trembled and her walls started to crack.
And in that moment, she wasn't just the perfect daughter or the passionate student teacher.
She was just... Gabbriela.
And finally, that was enough.
She thought it was.
But no, he didn't listen.
