Author's Note: F I C T I O N
P.S. Please allow me to take this moment to just be grateful for this God-given talent to be able to tell stories. To write is one thing but for others to read what you've written is another story. Grateful to ALL OF YOU who read this fanfic and my other works. Salamat po. Na e-emo ako kasi I started this exactly December 27th, 2019–just to release some frustrations with how things were going with the two at that time, but fast forward—we are now at the 100th chapter! 100TH CHAPTER! OH MY GOD—Isn't that amazing? So, help me pray, please that God still would give me more inspiration to continue this fanfic and to write more pa. Hehehe
Of course, thank you to my muse—Alden and Yaya Dub / RJ and Nicomaine. Kahit saan pa ako makarating sa pagsusulat ko—AKO at KAYONG DALAWA will always have FOREVER. Bubuhayin ko kung anong nakita ko sa inyong dalawa—your story will always be one of my favorite stories to write and rewrite. Buhay na buhay ang forever ninyo sa mga libro ko! Yan ang sisigurohin ko. 💚

"Ano nga yong sabi nila, love? Yong everything conspires to make that all happened—"
