Prologue

"𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞?"

One word that has a deepest meaning. Love is what people's feel when they are attached to someone.

I close my eyes and I let my heart speak.

" Love can be intense and all-encompassing, or it can be gentle and calming. Love can be beautiful, but it can also be complicated and painful. Love is a powerful emotion that can bring people together and make them feel connected. Love can be a source of happiness and joy, or a source of pain and sadness." As I said.

My cousin look amazed by my answer.

"Wow, you're amazing ate"

I at the window and didn't pay attention to what she said.

"Ate! Look at me." Hinawakan niya ang aking pisngi at itinutok nito sa kanyang mukha para lang makuha niya ang aking atensyon.

"You seems like you're not interested talking to me" she said..

I fake laugh. "No, I'm not"

"Have you loved someone before?"she said it curiously.

Have I loved someone before? I asked to myself but there's no answer. I can't remember anything about my past.

"I don't know either. Since I lost all my precious memories. I don't know anything about my past"

There's a few silence between us...

Even though, I can't remember my past, I always dream about a guy that has no face. He is tall and a little bit muscular. He is kind, sweet and intelligent. I wish I could escape from reality and stay on being delusional. I want to stay with the guy in my dream.

"Malay, mo ate. Meron ka palang boyfriend noon."

I laughed on what she said. "Well, you're maybe right, because I always dream about a guy with blurred face and I think he is my boyfriend before"

"What does he looks like?" she asked.

"I don't know, he is a man with no fa—" mom cut me off.

"What are you doing girls?" Mom asked as she passed by.

"Me and ate are talking about love.. " wika ni Sophia sa aking ina.

"Love?" Mom repeat it.

"Yes, Tita Chan" Sophia said it.

Well, Sophia is the only one who called my mom as Tita Chan because mostly they called her as Chanellia. The most rich and powerful woman.

I'm a bit curious because why would a rich woman live at the filthy surroundings.

She look at me and smiled. "Speaking of love. Asteria, when are you going to have a boyfriend?"

Boyfriend? I never thought of having one. Man these days are foolish, selfish, greedy and heartless. They may look kind and handsome, but they are like a predator who was waiting for their prey to get trap by their charm. They only want you because you're wealthy and sexy but when they get what they want they'll just throw you like a dirty trash.

I hugged my mother. "I never wanted to have one. You are only enough for me mom and also if I would have a boyfriend, he is just a burden to me."

She patted my head and kiss my forehead.

"Balang araw, makakahanap ka rin ng lalaking makakasama mo, anak. You will find a man that are willing to stay by your side, taking care of you and comfort you when you are sad. A man that will never let you work and a man that will never be a burden to you"

"𝐕𝐞𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐳... " an unknown name skipped from my mouth.
