Juana Escarzega, a savvy businesswoman, returns to her family's hacienda in the Philippines, stirring whispers of memories, sa paniniwalang ito ang magiging pahinga niya sa mga problemang tiniis niya sa Canada. Amidst the embrace of the cold sea breeze, she’s back to confront the memories she left behind. Especially her forgotten relationship with Izo Eloje Frentones Jr. In the centre of Samar's social whirlwind, old flames flicker, and family ties tighten. Nang magkaharap ang dalawa, tila bumalik ang mga ala-ala at humapdi ang mga sugat na matagal nilang ikinubli. Drawn back by Izo's magnetic pull, Juana faces their shared past, grappling with passion and pain. With the circling rumours and lurking secrets, they must decide. Isugal ang lahat, o baguhin ang tadhana. Against the stunning coastline, they confront their feelings and the harsh world's realities. Can they overcome obstacles and find forgiveness, or will they discover a different kind of love's liberation?

Treacherous Riptides of Desire Chapter 7: When Youth Demands
YEAR 2015"May laro raw ang 3rd year, Rowena! Manood tayo!" Tinakbo ko ang hallway ng building namin para lang hagilapin si Rowena. "Please! Samahan mo na ako, ililibre nalang kita mamaya!" I begged her. Mukha namang wala na siyang magawa dahil binitbit ko na rin ang bag niya palabas. When we arrived at the court, dinig ko na agad ang hiyaw ng mga senior namin na nanonood. We aren't allowed here, for sure! Pero ang sabi naman ay kung inimbita ka ng senior, you may enter and watch the game. This is their final practice para sa gaganaping liga sa susunod na linggo, Izo is one of this school's athlete. He's a consistent MVP of our school's team. No wonder his body's built like that. Kahit pa noong bata kami, talagang masculine na ang figure niya. I've always admired his physique, at halatang-halata iyon ngayon lalo na't kita ang mga braso niya sa suot niyang jersey. I saw the number at the back of his shirt, it's 22. I blushed. That’s my birthday, sinakto niya kaya iyon? "Hoy! Sigu

“Sa kaliwa, Teresa!” Sigaw ng mga tao. “Hindi, atras pa!” Sigaw naman ng isa. They were competing for the hampas palayok. Kabi-kabilaang tawanan at hiyawan ang maririnig sa kalsada, halos hindi ko na marinig ang sarili kong boses. Today marks the fiesta of Borongan, in honour of Nuesta Señora dela Natividad. “Anang, paki-abot ako ng baso at mag hiwa ka na rin ng sibuyas diyan,” bilin ni Nanang Fe. Nasa barangay hall ako ngayon. Since my grandparents grew up here, Hacienda Rel Juana became a huge part of my childhood. Dahil kilala ang pamilya namin dito, naging tradisyon na ang pakikilahok sa mga annual celebrations. Ako na ang nag alok na mag bigay ng iilang mga sahog at putahe para sa handaan. Mamaya pa ang parada, pero maingay na sa kalsada. Makukulay na mga banderitas at nag hahandang mga banda. I smiled at the thought of my Lola’s face enjoying these kinds of events before. She has always been consistent in attending these events, talagang minahal niya ang lugar na ito. “Nan

YEAR 2015“I’m sure you’ve heard of Izo, Juana. Gwapo ‘yon! Senior natin. Hindi mo ba type?” I laughed at the idea, interesting. “Well, he’s handsome. I’d give him that.” Tinapik tapik naman ako ni Rowena na para bang kilig na kilig. “Ano ba, Juana! Napaka-in denial mo naman oh. Alam naman nating lahat na hindi lang gwapo ‘yon! Matalino, masipag, mayaman, yung maginoong medyo bastos ang charisma!” Patili nitong kantyaw. “Sus. Huwag kang mag alala, Rowena! In the future, ako na ang titilian mo. ‘Di man ako kasing gwapo at kasing yaman ni Izo ngayon, sigurado akong magiging type mo rin ako.” Sabat ni Stephen na sinuklian ng irap ni Rowena. “Pero what’s the deal nga, Juana? Nung umattend tayo sa grand ceremony nila, you seem good friends with his family. He’s an only child, marami kang kaagaw but you have an advantage, you know.” Sabay kindat ni Rowena.“Fine. I liked him before, Rowi. We were basically playmates because Tita Micunda always visits our mansion before, she’s good friend

“Here’s your order, ma’am.” The waiter said, breaking our awkward silence.I smiled and nodded calmly. “Thank you, please run my card.” Ia-abot ko na sana ang aking card nang bigla akong pinigilan ni Stephen. “Hey, don’t mind. It’s on me, minsan na lang ako maka-bawi, oh!” Napatawa ako sa sinabi niya, I remember the old times. “I’m not the Tope I was! This is Stephen Midane 2.0,” he jokingly said. Oo nga naman, now that he mentioned it, I noticed the difference in him, sobrang laki ng pinag-bago niya. He’s wearing a black tuxedo and a navy blue tie, very formal. Malayong-malayo sa Stephen noon. Dugyot, hindi mapakali at sobrang ingay. “I’m glad we could talk to each other again like this. How’s Rowena?” His smile slowly faded as I mentioned Rowena’s name. “We actually… broke up, a year after you left.” I was stunned, I wasn’t expecting that. Sa lahat ng mga kaibigan ko, silang dalawa para sa akin ang talagang nasandalan ko no’ng mga panahong ‘yon. “But.. she’s doing good. No need

The trip took a toll on me. Pagkatapos ng tagpong iyon ay nagkaroon ako ng oras para makapag-isip. Dapat ay dumiretso na lang talaga ako rito sa probinsya at hindi na nag palipas pa ng oras sa Manila, fully knowing the presence of the Frentones were the most prominent there. Malalim na ang gabi nang makarating ako rito. I entered the main door, it was made of mahogany. The design is very vintage, halatang-halata ang pagiging luma nito pero matibay pa rin. Before my grandmother died, this is where I used to live. This is the place filled with most of my memories growing up. The place I loved and hated the most. Everytime I have the chance, I make sure that this place is taken care of. I hired people to clean this place every month, but I didn't dare to renovate it. I fixed some parts but I tried my best not to change anything at all. Gusto kong manatili itong ganito, kahit na kada pasilyo ng bahay ay puno ng ala-alang minsan ayaw ko nang dumaan sa isip ko.The frames of the windo

YEAR 2015"Juana, malapit na ang birthday mo. Imbitahan mo naman kami sa inyo! Malaki naman bahay niyo eh! Alam mo na, tiba-tiba.." Kantyaw ng isa kong k-klase. "Hoy, mahiya ka nga, Tope! Akala mo naman i-imbitahan ka talaga ni Juana, eh dinaig mo pa mga gatecrasher." Mataray na sagot ni Rowena. Bahagya naman akong natawa. "Ano ba kayo? Of course you're all invitedㅡ" Naputol ang dapat na sasabihin ko nang may sumabat. "If that's the case, then sorry, but I decline your offer. Pupunta ako sa party nila Izo, I got invited eh." Maarteng sabat ni Mila. Damn, if I were to play the good girl in this school, she'd definitely be the bully. All she does is act like an antagonist in my everyday life. Kahit pa kating-kati na akong murahin siya, I kept a composed smile on my face."Sure, Mila. You may go to Izo's party, I don't mind." Kasi wala naman akong pake! Mas mabuti pa ngang huwag ka pumunta, sisirain mo lang ang araw ko. If I know, she's a creep being head over heels to the heir of

“¡Hija de puta, Juana!”Sunod-sunod na kalansing ng kubyertos ang narinig ko, padabog na tinabing ni Papa ang plato kaya kumalat ang mga bubog sa sahig.“Anim! Anim na taon na simula nung umalis ka sa lugar na ‘yon at lumayo!” I can already see where this is going. His daily sermon of reminding me how I messed up my life. “Kung ang bawat galaw mo ay dini-depende mo pa rin sa lalaking ‘yon, dapat ay sumama ka nalang sa anak mo nung nawala siya!” His last remarks triggered me.“Utang na loob, Pa! Do you hear yourself? Alam ko ang nagawa ko! Alam ko ang pagkakamali ko and I regret it every single time.” I shouted, making him stop.“Sa totoo lang, Pa… Sa ating dalawa, ako ang mas may karapatan na ungkatin ang nakaraan. Dahil kung hindi dahil sa’yo… Kung hindi dahil sa inyo, Julia should've been alive! She could've seen this world despite how cruel it is to live here. Don’t blame me for the mistakes I made, because I had the chance to make it right… Yet you took it away from me.” Naghahabu
