SYNOPSIS

Marriage. A word so simple but holds so much weight. Some people are scared of it, some don't care much about it, for some it's just a paper, while there are those that just use it as a form of agreement, and there are those that are like me who consider it a dream. The happily ever after.

Don't get me wrong. I have goals other than marriage. I have made sure that I will check off every goal I have on my list. I became a journalist. Then, when that wasn't enough, I became an editor and chief. And then, next, I became a co-owner. Siyempre hindi pa ako ro'n natapos. It didn't take long before I completely owned the whole company.

I made a name for myself. I was known for being the indomitable and tenacious Luna Alondra Dawson. Pero sa haba ng listahan na meron ako at sa dami kong nalagyan ng marka sa listahan na iyon, iisa lang talaga ang nananatiling mailap sa akin.

I am every bit a Dawson. It's both a gift and a curse. A gift because once a Dawson sees the "one", a Dawson knows. A curse because even though I know that he's exactly that for me, it doesn't mean that he wants to be.

But I still persist. I didn't give up. Until finally, he became mine.

His ring on my finger, his name as mine. Going home and seeing our shoes neatly arranged side by side. His mug on the coffee table, his toothbrush next to my own, and our pillows on the bed we share.

That should be it, right?

But things aren't as they seem. We are at the peak of an ever-changing world. People change, and so does time. Dreams change, and so do priorities.

I changed before all of it transpired. I changed before the clock of what we are even started

When I look at him, it makes me unbelievably happy. So much that it scares me. Too much that it hurts me. When he holds my hand, I don't want to let go. When he hugs me, I want the moment to endure the shift of the inevitable.

It is only when he looks at me that I wish things were different. That we were what others were seeing. Even though we both know that it couldn't happen.

Because we have a secret. A secret that I don't want anyone to uncover.

Until it's the right time. Until I'm ready to set it free.
