Blurb:

Kara made a pledge to herself after getting a slap from her disgruntled father that she would one day make him proud by pursuing her passion—writing songs. She hires someone to sing her composition, eager to get his attention, but life plays an unfair game, as it turned out to be Janus, the person she met on the bus, who flatly refused it without explanation.

***

Kassandra Maeve Sandoval's passion for songwriting made her develop a habit of always paying attention to the emotion and message of the song. She believes that music describes us so much better than our own words do. When she met Janus Axl Valderama, the guy who captivated the audience with his dreamy vocals and intensely personal lyrics, her life turned the other way around.

Janus became her ray of sunshine who brought radiance to her colorless palette. Abruptly, every story has an end, so as theirs. Like the sunsets that used to make Kara smile, their story makes her believe that some things have to end no matter how beautiful they are.

Author's note

Hi! This is the first installment of my Carpe Diem Series. This book contains some controversial views about our culture that you may find objectionable, and it covers a wide range of themes including substance abuse, suicide, and more. I want to make it clear that I am not romanticizing the concept; I wrote this book to share my thoughts and raise awareness.

If you have your own opinion, please don't roast me, here. I-pm n'yo na lang para mabago ko kung may mali man po ako. I'm open for correction. And please give some insight.

This story is unedited. Marami pang typos at grammatical errors. Kung naghahanap ka ng perpektong akda, hindi ito iyon. Maaari ka nang umalis. Char haha.

Happy reading!

Carpe Diem Series is a collection of four stories that explore the beauty of living in the moment—seizing the day, before it slips away because the present is all we truly have.

I wrote this series as a reminder—to live fully, to love deeply, and to find meaning in the now, because tomorrow is never promised.
