Genius Loci

"Who are you?" tanong ni Arlon habang hawak sa braso ang isang bata na babae. "Let go of me. You scumbag!" The arrival of his daughter awakened a longing for connection and love that he had never known. He loved Charlotte unconditionally but found himself lost, unsure of how to bridge the gap that had formed between them. Umiiyak si Charlotte sa isang kwarto. Puno iyon ng mga laruan na pambata, stuff toys at puno ang closet niya ng magaganda na dress ngunit wala sa mga iyon ang nakakuha ng ngiti at attention ng batang si Charlotte. As fate intertwined their lives, the complexities of love, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond of family began to unfold. In their journey through the trials of life, would they discover that true strength lies not in perfection, but in the messy, beautiful reality of loving one another? "Wala sa inyo ni Miss Ophelia ang nagmatch ng blood type ng bata. Paano nangyari iyon?" May isang babae ang umiiyak na tumatakbo patungo sa emergency room na talagang kamukha ng nagpakilala na ina ni Charlotte at nakasama niya ng gabi na iyon. Cordelia Monteveros the woman who have a mentally unstable and walang kakayahan makapagsalita. Putikan ang dulo ng suot nito na puting dress at nakapaa. Hinawakan siya ng babae, puno ng pag-aalala at paulit-ulit na hinila ang sleeve niya— gumawa ng mga hand sign language na talagang hindi maintindihan ni Arlon. Nanatili si Arlon na nakatingin sa babae na akala niya na hindi na niya na ulit makikita at doon narealize ni Arlon na nakagawa siya ng malaking pagkakamali. In a world where family ties are tested by secrets, control and power.

Aku hidup lagi. Di detik kesadaran itu, aku bingung untuk tidak merasa bahagia atau harus merasa bahagia, karena mengulang waktu dan kini merasa terhantam rasa malu yang menusuk hingga ke tulang dimasa lalu. Aku, Eleanora de Villon, putri dari keluarga Duke Villon, telah mati di kehidupan sebelumnya di tangan pria yang kucintai—Putra Mahkota. Alasannya sederhana sekali "Aku kejam" Setiap air mata wanita yang kusebabkan, setiap hinaan yang kuucapkan, setiap langkah manipulatif yang kuambil—semua itu adalah Tinta Merah Takdir yang kini kulihat dengan mata kepedihan. Aku berhak dibenci. Aku pantas mati. Kesempatan kedua ini, seperti anugerah untuk memperbaiki takdirku, namun perasaanku tidak bisa bohong karena terasa seperti hukuman untuk mengingat kembali semua kebusukanku dan kematian atas apa yang aku perbuat sebelumnya.

Dengan hati yang campur aduk itu mampukah Eleanora menuliskan kisah takdir yang suci, ataukah ia hanya akan kembali ternoda oleh The Erased Red Ink of Fate?
