Black Among Us

Lyrae Meteorite Desiderio was the breadwinner. When her parents died in an airplane crash, she took the responsibility of being a parent of her two siblings. Kaya ganon na lang ang takot niya nang ma-diagnose siya ng stage 4 colon cancer. Paniguradong malaking pera ang magagastos niya sa pagpapagamot. So she had decided to not take any medical cure and wrote a bucket list. Para sana kahit sa huling pagkakataon ay maranasan niya ang mga bagay na hindi pa niya nararanasan dati. She pursued her bucket list with Josh, her best friend and the man she secretly love. Kasama niya si Josh sa lahat ng iyon, pero alam niyang hindi niya makakasama si Josh sa panghuling bagay na nasa list niya: to have sex with a random guy at the bar. That night, she met Azren--a complete opposite of Josh. He was cold, heartless, and serious. Nagising na lang siya kinaumagahan katabi ang lalaking nakilala niya kagabi sa isang hindi kilalang kwarto. Masaya na sana siya sa nangyari nang biglang tumawag ang doktor at sinabing wala siyang kahit anumang sakit at mali ang test results! Hindi niya alam kung paano sasabihin kay Josh ang lahat lalo pa't isang buwan na ang nakalipas at napag-alaman niyang buntis siya at si Azren ang ama!

"This is the body donation agreement, Mr. Lewis. Please sign here." Joel Lewis looks at the paper before him. His hand trembles as he grips a pen. The other party can sense his hesitance. They say considerately, "Body donation is a big thing, and it's normal for people to change their minds at the last minute. You can go home and discuss this with your family—" "I've already signed it." Joel smiles bitterly. "Family" is a term that's beyond him. There's no longer any space in his wife's heart for him, after all.

This story was about my bitter and sweet love story. My bitter-sweet love story began when I was twelve years old. I had a huge crush on my neighbor, Dean Samaniego. He's tall, handsome, and smart but a little bit aloof, especially to me. He always ignored me though we were just neighbors. After six long years of having a crush on Dean, I finally decided to give up my feelings for him. The fact finally hits on me, that no matter what I did he's not going to like me back. We moved to another city after a tragedy falls on my family. Since then, Dean and I have never met again. But after ten long years, we finally meet each other. He is now a lawyer, a well-known and successful public defender while I'm just a small coffee shop owner. After I met him again I realized that I still liked him a lot, but I found out that he's already engaged to someone else. Is this a second chance that God gave me to pursue Dean again or a second chance for me to feel the heartache that I once was felt before?

Ang kuwentong ito ay tumatalakay kung paano nabuo ang "wagas na pag- ibig" sa pagitan ng dalawang puso na pinagtagpo at itinadhana sa maling panahon at maling pagkakataon. Dalawang puso na parehong nakatali sa mga sinumpaang pangako, ngunit pilit pa ring ipinaglalapit ng pag- ibig. Ngunit, paano na ang dalawang puso na nagmamahalan kung makakalaban nila ang Tadhana na hahadlang sa kanilang pag-iibigan na hindi maaaring sumibol sa lupa, sapagkat sa ibang panahon at pagkakataon sila nakatakdang magsama hanggang sa dulo ng walang hanggan? Hindi ito tipikal na istorya ng pag- ibig na kung saan "kapag mahal mo, ipaglalaban mo", bagkus sa kuwentong ito tuturuan ka ng hangganan kung hanggang saan ka lang dapat makipagbuno sa ngalan ng pag- ibig. Sa kabilang banda, hindi lamang umiikot sa pag- iibigan ng dalawang pangunahing karakter ang matutunghayan sa nobelang ito, dahil nakapaloob rin sa kathang ito ang pinakamataas na antas ng pag- ibig- ang pag-ibig sa Diyos, gayundin ang pagyakap sa sariling kasalanan, pagtanggap sa sariling kahinaan, kapatawaran sa kapuwa at sarili, at higit sa lahat, pagtuklas sa tunay na misyon o papel kung bakit ka naririto at nabubuhay pa sa mundo.
