Totga Stories

Some love is meant to be felt deeply...not kept forever. A bittersweet tale of young dreams missed chances, and the one love that stays with you long after it's gone. Once, they planned a lifetime together. Then life stepped in. Years later, a chance reunion reminds them: the one that got away is often the love that shaped you most. Not a story of heartbreak. But of a love so gentle and true, that even when you have to let go, a part of you will always hold on.

Manila, 1999. Leo is an ordinary boy - a C.A.T. officer with a loud voice and nothing else to recommend him. Mainne is two years younger, a pageant-winning freshman from a wealthy Chinese family, the kind of girl a boy like Leo isn't supposed to get to keep. But for eight months, behind a locked classroom door, they do - trading daily letters under the names Aqua and Cloud, meeting after the last bell, stealing one reckless, unsupervised afternoon alone in her parents' house that gets her grounded for the rest of the term, falling into the kind of first love that only happens once. Then Leo, certain he isn't enough for the future she deserves, disappears without a word. Three years later, his father dies. Mainne comes to the wake. Leo hides in the next room and lets her walk away a second time. A degree deferred so his sisters could finish theirs. A man built entirely out of work, trying to outrun a silence he never explained - and slowly, painfully, coming to understand the very fear that once shut him out. Then, one ordinary Sunday, a photograph on Facebook - Mainne, now a flight attendant, now a mother, now divorced - and a nine-word message Leo can't stop himself from sending. What follows is a slow, aching reunion: old letters unearthed, old names spoken again, a second chance built carefully across time zones and layovers. But some distances can't be closed by love alone - and this time, the ending they reach is honest instead of silent. A story about first love, the cowardice that looks like mercy, and what it costs to finally understand - years too late to change anything, but just in time to understand it completely.

A 6,931 word letter to the person whom I got attached with, but became a ghost instead.

"Kahit gaano kalayo, kung kayo talaga... babalik at babalik sa dulo." Mika Alvarez never believed in fate-until she met Karl Ramirez, the transferee with a guitar in his hand and sadness in his smile. Mula sa unang banggaan sa stairs hanggang sa mga tahimik na tinginan sa music room, something invisible started pulling them closer... a red string, maybe? Pero paano kung 'yung tali palang 'yon ay hindi lang para maglapit-kundi para ring masaktan, mawalan, at matutong bumitaw? In a story woven with friendship, music, heartbreak, and time, Mika and Karl must face the truth: Hindi sapat ang koneksyon kung hindi sabay ang tibok ng puso. Will they find their way back? Or will the red string only lead them to become each other's TOTGA?

What if the person who hurt you came back to your life? What if the one that got away still loves you? Are you willing to take a risk again or let go of the things that make you remember the pain in the past? And what if.... I say... Of all the butterflies that chose to stay, I'm in love with the one that got away. Love is easy if we're all free but they always make it hard.- Maris Racal

She is baffled. Doesn't know what's happening and clearly didn't see that coming. Everything was fine until that someone appeared in her life. She never wanted the title. It was all just teasing and was supposed to be a joke nomination. But ended up being elected, position she never asked for. Her eyes were on that person-the friendly, everyone liked and easy to have crush on. Not until everything changes when her eyes started seeking for that feline eyes, intimidating, not that easy to read, and full of defenses. She doesn't know where or when, it just happened. In those eyes she found the comfort she never expected. Security she longing. Now she's caught between the expectations she never wanted and the feelings she can't ignore. Between the easy crush she can let go of-and the deep, consuming connection she never saw coming.
