Prologue – The Day Everything Changed
I never meant to fall for him. Hindi ko ginusto. Pero minsan, hindi mo talaga mapipili kung kanino titibok ang puso mo.
When I met Kenj, my boyfriend’s father, I felt something I couldn’t explain. Hindi ito lust—at least, hindi lang iyon. May lalim sa mga mata niya, may lungkot na tila humihingi ng pag-unawa.
Every smile he gave me felt like a story I wanted to read. Every glance, a secret I wanted to keep.
I told myself, “Alona, bawal ‘to.” Pero habang pilit kong nilalabanan, lalo lang akong nahuhulog.
And maybe, some loves are not meant to be right away. Maybe, they’re meant to wait.
This is my story—how falling for the wrong person led me to the right kind of love.
