Ever since high school kilala na ni Yasmin si Drake, at isa lang naman siya sa maraming nagkakagusto rito. Pero hindi naman siya delusional, alam niyang sa hitsura’t pamumuhay nito ay malayong magustuhan siya nito, tiyambahan lang ang mala-Cinderella love story sa totoong buhay. Pero magbabago ang akala niya’y imposible, hindi dahil nagkagusto na ito sa kanya, kung hindi dahil sa arrange marriage na kasasangkutan nila! Ito ang ka-arrange marriage niya dahil sa napag-usapan na ‘yon ng pamilya ng ama niyang hindi naman siya kinilala pero biglang nagkunwaring may bilang siya sa buhay nito para lang pagtakpan ang stepsister niyang dapat ay siyang mapapangasawa ni Drake, dahil ang stepsister niya’y nagpabuntis sa boyfriend nito at kasalukuyang itinatago ng ama sa ibang bansa. Iyon lamang, may longtime girlfriend si Drake nang mapangasawa niya, akala niya pagtagal maaaring magustuhan din siya nito, mahalin kahit paano, magbago ang lahat kapag naging mag-asawa na sila, pero kung gaano kahirap sa kanya ang magbuntis dahil sa PCOS niya ay siya ring hirap pabalingin ni Drake sa kanya. Limang taon, sa limang taon na ‘yon parang wala man lang siyang naging halaga rito. Nang malaman niyang buntis siya, akala niya ay iyon na ang babago sa kanila pero bago pa niya masabi rito ay nalaman nitong binayaran lamang siya ng ama para pakasalan ito.

It's my third day of being a ghost, and I feel like I'm going to starve to death again. The underworld messenger takes pity on me because I'm a child and secretly tells me that people like me, who suffered grievances and died with resentment, have to stay by the sides of the people who loved us most in life. Then, we survive on their "guilt". I lower my head and narrow my eyes. I choke up and say, "You might as well just leave me to starve." My mother hated me to the core. Why would she ever be guilty over my death?

It was only after my boyfriend, Julian Mercer, received his HIV diagnosis that he finally understood what his childhood friend, Luna Sullivan, truly meant by "life and death together". In my previous life, after Julian collapsed from anemia, Luna insisted on donating blood to him. I fought with everything I had to stop it. I told him that Luna had already contracted HIV. If she donated blood to him, he would be infected as well. He refused to believe me. Luna cried and swore that she had never even had a boyfriend. To prove her innocence, she climbed onto the rooftop and pretended she was going to jump to her death. However, she slipped. She missed her footing and fell to her death from the building. To avenge her, Julian conspired with our classmates to kidnap me. He strangled me with his own hands. I still remember his furious roar. "This is all because of your slander! You killed Luna! I will make you pay for her life!" When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of the blood transfusion. I watched as Julian lay there, already receiving blood from his beloved Luna. I smiled faintly. HIV? Fine.
