Caught by the Sun

[QUESTIONS FOR PLOT DEVELOPMENT]

1. How did this character find themselves in this situation?

- Ano ba ang reaction ng character/s mo sa isang nakapakahalagang sitwasyon or scene sa iyong

kwento? Paano siya nag-respond?

2. Do they want to be here? Why or why not?

- Kagustuhan ba nilang mapunta sa sitwasyon na ito?

3. How can I put a fresh spin on my concept's tropes and clichés?

(Paano ko lalagyan ng kakaibang timpla ang concept/theme na ito given na may mga cliches or mga
common details ito?)

-I'll add plot twists and they are as follows:

THE SECRET OF THE PAINTING/ARTIFACT- Set an important scene in an art museum. One of the
paintings or sculptures reminds your character of something important, long forgotten.1

-This would be the way para magkaroon ng clue na hindi tunay na Cañizares sina Gil, Vio at Manuela.
Makikita ni Naxia sa dating mansyon 'yong painting ng Lola niya na black 'yong background. Then ang
weird kasi 'pag tinapat sa may ilaw may tatlong shadows ng lalaki sa likod. (Sina Vergilio Cañizares 'yon
'tsaka dalawang guy na naka-affair ng Lola niya)

BIBIDA SI EXCON- The only one they can trust right now is a con man.1

-Ito puwedeng mailagay sa part na after ng accident sa site. May nag-approach kay Naxia na weird na
lalaki then sinabi na ang pangalan ay Mattias Alvarado. Una niyang nakasalubong sa bungad ng company
is Uncle Gil niya tapos tinanong kung sino 'yong kausap niya raw then she told him his name. Nagulat ito
at sinabing ex-con 'yong lalaki kaya hindi siya dapat nakikipag-usap doon.
Cover-up lang 'yon pero si Renzo 'yong sunod na kinausap ni ex-con and sinabi nitong nakulong siya
dahil sa pagbangga sa kotseng sinasakyan ng Mommy ni Naxia. Inutusan daw siya ni Gil. Renzo won't
trust him pero nang maglatag ito ng mga evidences, napaniwala na siya nito and he did everything to hid
the truth habang nagco-collect pa ng iba pang evidences.

MALING PANAGINIP- The next step for your main characters is revealed to one of them, with crystal
clarity, in a dream. Only it turns out that the dream was wrong.

-In this part, Naxia dreamt of her Uncle Vio pointing a gun at her and shot her to dead. She told Renzo
about it at ang sabi lang nito'y panaginip lang ang lahat at walang katotohanan. Turned out mali nga
talaga ang panaginip niya dahil ang Uncle Gil niya ang tunay na masama ang agenda at balak siyang
ipapatay.

Either of these can be a breaking point:

CHISMISAN GALORE- A rumor gathers momentum and ugliness. It soon divides your main character
from her allies.

-Some news would appear that Nina Alexia was adopted 'coz her mother can't conceive a child before,
as all people know. During this happening, she didn't tell her parents about it and instead, just talked
with Enrique Lorenzo. With this, they shared their most vulnerable points with each other.

NAGLAHONG PARANG BULA- The place that your character was just traveling toward--whether it was
the kitchen, the school, or another city--suddenly no longer exists.2

-Her design was snatched, she nearly had an accident in a construction site. How unfortunate, doesn't
she?

SUMMARY

-Nina Alexia Cañizares has always been in love with one of the most sought out bachelor in Manila,
Enrique Lorenzo Villarde. Simula pa noong thirteen years old siya at seventeen years old ito, sa mansyon
na nila ito nakatira sa kadahilanang nalulugi na ang clothing company ng kanyang ama na siyang
inabisuhan kaagad ng tulong ng ama ni Renzo—sa pamamagitan ng pagpapahiram sa anak nitong bata
pa man ay mulat na mulat na sa kalakaran ng business world.

Sa una'y hinahangaan niya ito dahil sa taglay nitong talino. Likas din itong mabait at gentleman. They
were considered as best friends because of their closeness. Ngunit nang magsimula itong magdala ng
babae sa kanilang bahay at ipinakikilala pa sa kanyang ama, roon na siya nainis at iniwasan si Renzo.
Sinusuyo siya ng binata pero ayaw niya. Ang gusto niya'y nasa kanya lang ang atensyon nito, wala sa iba.
Kung kaya't nagalit ito sa kanya at pinangaralan siya na sinabayan din ng galit niya. Doon sila tuluyang
nagkasira.

Hanggang sa dumating ang Auntie Manuela niya (three years later), ang bunsong kapatid ng kanyang
ama. Bente dos na ito at likas na maganda ngunit masungit sa kanya. But unexpectedly, Renzo had a
huge admiration and interest on Manuela. He stopped dating girls and Naxia thought she has a chance
to pursue her feelings for him but when found out that Renzo's in love with her aunt, she stopped.
Lumayo siya. Malayong-malayo. She left their mansion after her fake compromise with Renzo. Gusto
niyang bago siya umalis ay magkaayos sila...nasaktan siya dahil hindi siya ang mahal nito.

After five years of hiding herself in a province, she finally went back to Manila for a big project. She
graduated architecture so her father asked her to design the newly-built branch of their company. Not
knowing na ang President pala nito ay walang iba kundi ang kaisa-isang lalaki na si Enrique Lorenzo.
Habang magkasama sila sa kompanya at meetings, she kept her head cool and tried to act normal. They
catch things up but she never asked anything about him and Manuela. Baka masaktan na naman siya.

Then something happened. She was in a site to check other establishments owned by her father. Nong
una'y nagtataka na siya sa porma ng building ngunit dahil kilala ang engineer at archi ay wala siyang
nagawa. But then, may isang equipment na nag-malfunction at maling puwesto ang nalagyan ng bakal.
Bumigay ang pinagbagsakan nito dahil hindi maganda ang kalidad ng mga materyales. Muntikan na
siyang mabagsakan ng pader pero may humila at sumalo sa kanya; si Renzo.

She was then sent into a vacation because of what happened. Nag-alala ang kanyang mga magulang
dahil baka raw ma-trauma siya kahit wala lang sa kanya iyon dahil hindi naman iyon ang unang beses.
Unfortunately, busy ang kanyang mga kaibigan pati na si Helene kaya wala siyang makakasama and
that's so sad for her. Kaya naman, nag-alok sa kanya si Renzo na ito na lang ang sasama sa kanya. Kahit
ayaw niya, he already informed her father at pumayag naman ito agad dahil may tiwala ito sa binata.

Upon having a vacation on the beach with Renzo, all she felt was happiness and familiarity. Ganoon na
ganoon sila noon...kung hindi lang siya umibig dito at kung hindi siya umalis. Nag-enjoy siyang kasama
ito dahil kahit binansagan itong "ruthless leader" ng karamihan ay malambot pa rin ito sa kanya. Siya ang
naging prioridad nito sa resort, sa kahit anong paraan.

Then, biglang sumulpot ang ex niya from the province. It was just a casual hook-up, actually, but the
latter considered it as a relationship. Siya mismo rin ang nakipag-break dito. Kaya naman, niyabangan
siya nito sa pamamagitan ng pagsasabing wala siyang kasarap-sarap maging girlfriend noon at
nakipaghalikan pa sa ibang babae sa harapan niya. Sakto naman na dumating si Renzo kaya ito ang
napagbuntungan niya ng inis niya. They danced sexily on the bar's dance floor...and she wasn't
comfortable with it. Napilitan lang siya. And there, Renzo said a few things that she didn't expect. Her
very first kiss happened.
Everything went awkward after that. Pero nawala iyon nang magawa niyang pasunurin si Helene sa
resort kasama ang mga magulang nito. She was quiet the whole time but Renzo's doing things to talk to
her. Marupok siya para dito at alam niya iyon...but she couldn't take it when she'd get hurt again. Hindi
pa nga siya sigurado kung naka-move on na ito sa Auntie Manuela niya o hindi pa.

One time at the pool, mag-isa siyang nagswi-swimming. Naabutan siya ni Renzo doon at inabutan siya ng
wine. They talked casually hanggang sa umabot na naman doon sa nangyari sa bar. Nahihiya siyang pag-
usapan iyon pero nag-iinsist si Renzo.

Kinabukasan, dumating naman ang parents niya pati ang kanyang mga auntie at uncle...syempre kasama
si Manuela. She was, at first, shocked dahil sa ipinakita nitong interest kay Renzo habang siya'y
nananahimik. Her aunt was flirting with him! Samantalang ang alam niya ay may boyfriend na ito. Ang
mas nagpaigting pa sa selos niya ay hindi niya alam kung nagugustuhan ba iyon ni Renzo o hindi.

After that day, she met her bastard and boasftul son of a bitch ex-boyfriend. Nong una'y hindi niya ito
pinansin ngunit nang mag-apologize ito sa kanya ay lumambot siya. Yon lang naman ang kailangan niya
talaga, e. She hanged out with her ex sa pamamagitan ng paglalakad sa seaside...not knowing na nakita
pala ni Renzo.

Habang papasok siya sa kanyang suite ay hinila siya nito sa kwarto nito. She got irritated—they're both
angry. Nagkakasigawan sila because of the damn jealousy. For the second time, sinabi nito na mahal siya
nito and she couldn't believe it. Five years had passed...tapos mahal siya nito? Pakiramdam niya'y
napipilitan lang itong sabihin iyon sa kanya dahil aware ito na may feelings siya para dito. Isa pa,
muntikan na siyang mamatay roon sa site. Baka concerned lang si Renzo sa kanya.

Her Auntie Manuela kept on flirting with Renzo almost everyday that they're at the resort. Pilit man
siyang hindi magselos, hindi niya rin magawa dahil alam niyang masakit. Ramdam niya ang sakit.
Minahal ni Renzo si Manuela at mukhang gusto na ito ni Manuela ngayon...paano pa siya maniniwala na
mahal siya ni Renzo? Baka mamamaya'y magkarelasyon na pala ang dalawa dahil siya mismo, alam
niyang naghihintay lang si Renzo kay Manuela. Baka pastime lang siya nito at na-confused ito sa sariling
feelings.

One time, she was alone watching the waves at the boardwalk. Ang pamilya niya'y nag-eenjoy sa
pagkain ng lunch ngunit hindi siya sumama dahil nasu-suffocate na siyang makita ang ka-sweet-an ni
Manuela kay Renzo. Not knowing na tumanggi rin pala sa pagsama sa lunch si Renzo at bigla na lang
siyang tinabihan sa boardwalk. Kahit nagsasalita, hindi niya ito pinansin dahil kumikirot ang puso niya.
Naninibugho siya because she could not touch Renzo the way Manuela did to him. She couldn't...ever.

Lalo pa nang pinaglaruan siya nito. He teased her that she was jealous that made her boiling point so
high. Nainis siya rito kaya nasigawan niya. Wala namang tao kaya hindi siya nahiya. But when Renzo
touched her and kissed her with no holds barred, nawala lahat. Lalo pa noong sinabi nitong wala na
itong feelings para sa auntie niya. That he's hers, no matter what.

Naging sila...secretly because Manuela just recently warned her to stay away from Renzo. Hindi niya
sinabi iyon sa nobyo niya. The other night, niyaya siya nito sa isang date sa yate mismo ng binata. She
was in full awe and admiration when she saw his surprise for her. It was her very first date...and she felt
the luckiest to receive such a grand surprise. They slept in his yacht. And out of too much happiness and
overwhelming feeling, she gave herself to him.

After that day, umuwi na sila sa Manila dahil marami silang aasikasuhin sa trabaho, lalo na siya. Renzo
and her are secretly dating when they have the time. Ipinapakita nito sa kanya ang mundong
ginagalawan nito noong nasa hometown pa nito...and she felt so honoured. Napasok niya ang totoong
buhay ng minamahal niyang si Enrique Lorenzo. Nakilala niya rin ang pinakamamahal nitong Lola Sylvia.

And a certain conflict happened. After a month, biglang lumitaw ang balita na na-rape daw ang pinsan
niyang si Raciella sa resort...and they're blaming Renzo dahil sinasabi ni Raciella na ito ang gumahasa sa
kanya. She was furious and so ready to protect Renzo against their accusations. Mabuti na lang at kampi
sa kanya ang mga magulang niya.

She did not see Renzo for a week. She felt frustrated lalo pa noong malaman niyang buntis siya. Ang
mommy niya lang ang nakakaalam dahil masyado pang komplikado ang lahat. Nagpakita lang si Renzo sa
kanya noong pumasok siya sa office. Pumunta sila sa condo nito at doon nag-usap. She told him about
the pregnancy and she was the happiest to see him admiring her and thanking her. Na sa kabila ng
malalang mga pangyayari, may magandang biyaya pa rin na ipinagkaloob Niya sa kanila.

Kinabukasan, her family had set a conference meeting to set things up hangga't hindi pa nasasampahan
ng kaso si Renzo para menos issue. It didn't went well lalo pa't nagkakasagutan ang magkabilang
pamilya. Nadamay pa siya dahil nalaman na pala ng Auntie Manuela niya ang kanyang pagbubuntis.
After that, they stayed at Lola Sylvia's rest house. Doon niya nalaman na siya pala talaga ang target ng
Uncle niya dahil sooner or later, sa kanya mapupunta ang SGC na ipapamana sa kanya ng kanyang Lolo.
Nadamay lang si Renzo dahil naniniwala itong ang nobyo niya ang isa sa kanyang mga galamay kaya
hindi siya naaapektuhan nito. Pati rin ang aksidenteng dapat mangyayari sa kanya ay ito rin pala ang
may kagagawan. She cried so hard and asked for so many times to go back to Manila but Renzo didn't
agree with it.

But then, her father requested that they should attend the SGC's anniversarry party. Napilitan si Renzo
na umuwi sila ng Manila. Manuela apologized for what she'd done in the meeting and she forgave her.
Kung hindi lang siguro ito harap-harapang nanlandi kay Renzo noon.

As for the ending, Renzo proposed to her in front of her family and his family. She was two months
pregnant. She did not filed a case against her uncle though his grandfather took away her uncle's shares
from him.

How did I come up with this novel idea?

-Because I want to show people how hard it is to love. What are the obstacles people need to go
through before they get their happy ending. How hard it is to hope, to fight doubts, and to be faithful
despite all the conflicts. And lastly, how to trust someone higher than an individual. That yes, even if you
two don't fit for other people, you can still love each other. Because love knows no capabilities nor
ranks. Just love and trust, and faithfulness would make your relationship stronger.

Why is it titled this way?

-Because my character always fantasizes about the sun. She loves brushing her hands through the blue
and cloudy sky along with the shining sun that brights up the day. And even though it fascinates her, she
could never caught it in between her hands. It's too high. And she sees Renzo, her love interest, that
way. He makes her happy, shines up her day and makes her comfortable in any way possible but she
believed that he's too high...not knowing that she already caught her sun and she is too, is caught by her
sun.

FLOW OF MY PLOT
Title: Caught by the Sun

Genre/s: Contemporary Romance, Drama

POV: First Person Protagonist

I. Main Theme

-Love, Family, Fear, Betrayal, Coming of Age.

Thematic Statements:

-Love is not something that you should be afraid of. Be afraid when you don't have a courage to try it
because it does mean that you cannot face a more challenging obstacles ahead. Because love is simple,
people just exaggerate and make it complicated.

-Family, no matter how unfair you feel about them, is still your family. No matter how cruel, dangerous,
or fear they could give you, you should open your heart for acceptance. Remember that you're not just
connected with blood but also by heart. Love them and accept them no matter what. That way, it would
be "less fears, less complications."

-Betrayal is something people loathe to experience. It is so hard to trust someone and that someone
would just break it at the end...and hurt you very hard. But come to think of it, betrayal is connected
with forgiveness, right? Some people, no matter how painful betrayal gets, choose to forgive because it
would give them a happier and lighter life. Yes, it's easy to forgive then forget. And it doesn't mean that
when you forgive, you forget. You just accept.

-Growing up, it feels so frustrating to think about tomorrow. About how my day would go on? How
would people react upon seeing my actions? How would I accept my fate if it's bad? How would I
experience pain because Renzo's in love with my aunt. But despite that, I want to grow more. I want to
experience the hardships because I believe it would mold my maturity, my decisions, and especially my
heart.

up upon experiencing the worst events of their lives together. They realized their rights and wrongs.

Do they overcome their character’s flaws and the obstacles that stand in their way? How so?

-Yes. Because they chose to be together upon fighting those obstacles. They did not let go...for the sake
of their love and child. They trusted each other again...and give each other opinions for a better
outcome.

Who has my character become by the end of the story?

10-Naxia became strong and mindful of what she thinks about Renzo because she realized that to love is
to trust, listen, and hope for the better.

-Renzo became more mature despite the fact that he sees things in an advance way before...now he
became more mindful and fair enough for the situations that they'll go through althroughout their
relationship. That he will understand Naxia better than before...and never underestimate how far she
can go and mature in the future.
Who is my protagonist?

What is their goal?

-Their goal is to finally give their love a chance despite how low people sees Naxia and how high Renzo is

How is the way she speaks?

-Siya talaga ang bida.

b. Siya ba 'yong tipong "Maiden" archetype na laging nirerescue kapag napapahamak?

because of her asthma.

-Yes, naging palaban kasi she knew his uncle doesn't have the nerve to justify every danger he gave her.

d. Siya ba ang peacemaker or tagapagdala ng kapayapaan sa kwento or resolution?

-Yes, siya rin. Kasi she would prove everyone that her chosen career doesn't define her capabilities as a
woman and a Cañizares. 'Tsaka she won't file a case na lang din since may baby pa na anak 'yong uncle
niya and she was pregnant so alam niyang mawawalan ng ama ang bata and it's painful kapag sa anak
niya nangyari 'yon.

e. Isang ordinaryong babae ba ang heroine mo na nakakaranas ng iba't ibang situations?

Moral : Take everything slowly but surely. Wala namang mawawala. Maliban na lang siguro kung tamad
kang maghintay, mawawalan ka ng lakas ng loob na lumaban pa. But if I were to choose between
waiting and taking everything easy, I'll choose to wait. It's effective...mostly when you're not sure of the
outcome of something. You'll have time to think for answers.

Self Control: I'll wait because time would control everything and put things into their right places. If I
rush things, I don't think everything would be right. Rushed things are mess, and waited thing are worth
it.

Motivation : She's not right when she told me that I am her sun. That I am too high. Because the
moment I had her heart and she had mine, I already lowered myself for her. I want us equal in this
love...or her, higher than me. Handa akong tingalain siya...kahit gaano ka-taas pa ang maabot niya. Kahit
gaano nakakasilaw ang liwanag na kaya niyang ibigay. Dahil kahit sa araw niya ikinokompara ang pag-ibig
namin, kaya kong tanggapin. Basta mainit at payapang pagmamahal ang isusukli niya at mamamagitan
sa aming dalawa. Kontento na ako roon.

Discouragement : Papa, I don't deserve both companies. Kahit isa na lang po sa dalawa, tatanggapin ko.
Hindi ko pa yata kaya ang dalawa; When Naxia's hurt because of me, I feel like I shouldn't wait and just
find another girl to replace her...or find a worthy man for her instead. She's too worth it...like a sun that
she fantasizes about; Kahit ilang beses bumalik si Manuela, hindi ko na siya matatanggap. Pero kapag si
Naxia, kaya ko. Bumalik lang siya, kahit wala na'ng pagmamahal, ayos lang. Ako naman ang magpapaka-
martyr...kahit umabot pa ng ilang taon; Mama, I am a mess. I don't deserve her anymore. Damn it! I
don't know why this is happening to me! Mama, I want her so bad but I'm a mess! Fuck!; Kahit umalis
siya...wala pa ring nawala. My goddamned heart is still occupied by her. At kung babalik siyang hindi na
ako ang laman ng kanyang puso, magpupumilit akong pumasok doon. Kahit sa gilid na espasyo lang,
gusto kong ako ulit ang nasa puso niya.

Story Role : Protagonist

How is the way he speaks?

-He speaks calmly when everything's good, cold when angry and sarcastic when his limits reached its
peak.

What do people think about him?

-That he's high and deserved respect from everybody. Because Renzo's not only a businessman but also
has a charitable institution. He loved kids, and that's how people love him. He's good at business and his
heart is also good.

Clara Manuela Cañizares (Naxia's aunt and Renzo's "love interest"

-Six-feet tall, beautiful, has thick brown brows, pitch black eyes, short brown hair, olive skin and thin
pinkish lips. She has a dimple on her left cheek. Has big boobs and booty. Has the same fashion as Naxia.

-Talks sarcastically at her nieces and nephews because they calls her auntie when she's just young for it,
talks calmy when in business, and cold at first and sweet when had the chance with Renzo.

-Manuela was promoted as the VP for marketing when Naxia came back so people admired Manuela
more. She loved business ever since that made people believe that as though she's the only girl, she's a
deserving, Cañizares.
Arianna Ortiguerra (the goddamn architect)

-gorgeous and petite

-talks rudely and sarcastically to Naxia

-sees by people lower than the low, which is Naxia (that happened because everyone believed that she
just accused Naxia for publicity)

Gonzalo Cañizares (Naxia's Father)

-Same eyes with Naxia, tall and masculine, so handsome despite his age.

-He talks always in a calm way even if angry. Just add the blank expression.

-Despite being the third born, everyone believes that he's the best among his siblings.

Rita Galvionne-Cañizares (Naxia's mother)

-She's got all of Naxia's feature except the eyes because hers is pitch black. She's petite and kinda stout
but blessed with a God-like beauty.

-She's always calm, too, like her husband but she screams when angry (even just a little)

-As a solo daughter of Miranda Galvionne and an artist when she was young, everyone looks up to
her...except Manuela who thinks she stole Gonzalo from her. (what a jealous sister ugh)

Lorenzo Villarde (Renzo's father)

-He almost has Renzo's overall features except the plump lips. He's kinda small than Naxia's father but
he's got more attractive looks. He's muscular and

-talks cold as always.

-As a Villarde's second gen first born, he has all the power to give his unintentional authority to people.

Ma. Elisza Almada-Villarde (Renzo's Mother)

-She's beautiful, tall and elegant in her way. Renzo got her plump lips.

-She talks calmly and seriously.

-As an Elisza Almada, she is respected by everybody.

Sylvianna Corazon Abellana-Villarde (Renzo's Grandma)

-Tall, elegant, still gorgeous despite the age, has white streaks on her brown hair (that she doesn't want
to be removed 'cause she always wants the natural)

-She talks calmly and when angry, coldly.

-As the current head of Villardes, surely she's got respect and admired by everyone.

Guillermo "Gil" Cañizares (the evil uncle of Naxia)

-looks like Naxia's father but has darker emphasized features

-talks kindly (lol, behind the faćade is an evil monster) and when true colors revealed, he became
boastful when talking.

-He's always the second best in the eyes of people.

Monica del Roman-Cañizares (Gil's wife)

-she's kind, period. And slim and gorgeous.

-talks kindly.

-has lively aura that admired by many.

Tiara Cañizares (Naxia's closest cousin, the loyal despite her father's crimes)

-beautiful, tall and gorgeous but the manang type.

-always talks in a serious yet clever way. (she was with Naxia staying away from Manila. she'd influence
rin Naxia's decisions. At first syempre she's against kay Renzo dahil sa pain na naranasan ni Naxia. Pero
when she saw how much she could do, bumoto na rin siya.)

Octavio "Vio" Cañizares (Naxia's other uncle)

-tall, muscular and handsome.

-always cold to talk to and he's rude to Naxia (protecting Gil because they have the same father. bale
siya mapapagkamalan na traitor but he would manage to change his mind na rin lalo pa't wala namang
kasalanan si Naxia sa "panggigipit" kuno sa kanila ni Mr. Cañizares.)

Rowena Falcon-Cañizares

-petite, the shy-type, kind, and beatiful.

-talks shyly

IV. Plot

-A girl falls in love with someone in love with her aunt.

a. Background

-Nina Alexia Cañizares has always been in love with one of the most sought out bachelor in Manila,
Enrique Lorenzo Villarde. Simula pa noong thirteen years old siya at seventeen years old ito, sa mansyon
na nila ito nakatira sa kadahilanang nalulugi na ang clothing company ng kanyang ama na siyang
inabisuhan kaagad ng tulong ng ama ni Renzo—sa pamamagitan ng pagpapahiram sa anak nitong bata
pa man ay mulat na mulat na sa kalakaran ng business world.

Sa una'y hinahangaan niya ito dahil sa taglay nitong talino. Likas din itong mabait at gentleman. They
were considered as best friends because of their closeness. Ngunit nang magsimula itong magdala ng
babae sa kanilang bahay at ipinakikilala pa sa kanyang ama, roon na siya nainis at iniwasan si Renzo.
Sinusuyo siya ng binata pero ayaw niya. Ang gusto niya'y nasa kanya lang ang atensyon nito, wala sa iba.
Kung kaya't nagalit ito sa kanya at pinangaralan siya na sinabayan din ng galit niya. Doon sila tuluyang
nagkasira.

Hanggang sa dumating ang Auntie Manuela niya (three years later), ang bunsong kapatid ng kanyang
ama. Bente dos na ito at likas na maganda ngunit masungit sa kanya. But unexpectedly, Renzo had a
huge admiration and interest on Manuela. He stopped dating girls and Naxia thought she has a chance
to pursue her feelings for him but when found out that Renzo's in love with her aunt, she stopped.
Lumayo siya. Malayong-malayo. She left their mansion after her fake compromise with Renzo. Gusto
niyang bago siya umalis ay magkaayos sila...nasaktan siya dahil hindi siya ang mahal nito.

After five years of hiding herself in a province, she finally went back to Manila for a big project. She
graduated architecture so her father asked her to design the newly-built branch of their company. Not
knowing na ang President pala nito ay walang iba kundi ang kaisa-isang lalaki na si Enrique Lorenzo.
Habang magkasama sila sa kompanya at meetings, she kept her head cool and tried to act normal. They
catch things up but she never asked anything about him and Manuela. Baka masaktan na naman siya.

b. Rising Action
-Then something happened. She was in a site to check other establishments owned by her father. Nong
una'y nagtataka na siya sa porma ng building ngunit dahil kilala ang engineer at archi ay wala siyang
nagawa. But then, may isang equipment na nag-malfunction at maling puwesto ang nalagyan ng bakal.
Bumigay ang pinagbagsakan nito dahil hindi maganda ang kalidad ng mga materyales. Muntikan na
siyang mabagsakan ng pader pero may humila at sumalo sa kanya; si Renzo.

She was then sent into a vacation because of what happened. Nag-alala ang kanyang mga magulang
dahil baka raw ma-trauma siya kahit wala lang sa kanya iyon dahil hindi naman iyon ang unang beses.
Unfortunately, busy ang kanyang mga kaibigan pati na si Helene kaya wala siyang makakasama and
that's so sad for her. Kaya naman, nag-alok sa kanya si Renzo na ito na lang ang sasama sa kanya. Kahit
ayaw niya, he already informed her father at pumayag naman ito agad dahil may tiwala ito sa binata.

Upon having a vacation on the beach with Renzo, all she felt was happiness and familiarity. Ganoon na
ganoon sila noon...kung hindi lang siya umibig dito at kung hindi siya umalis. Nag-enjoy siyang kasama
ito dahil kahit binansagan itong "ruthless leader" ng karamihan ay malambot pa rin ito sa kanya. Siya ang
naging prioridad nito sa resort, sa kahit anong paraan.

Then, biglang sumulpot ang ex niya from the province. It was just a casual hook-up, actually, but the
latter considered it as a relationship. Siya mismo rin ang nakipag-break dito. Kaya naman, niyabangan
siya nito sa pamamagitan ng pagsasabing wala siyang kasarap-sarap maging girlfriend noon at
nakipaghalikan pa sa ibang babae sa harapan niya. Sakto naman na dumating si Renzo kaya ito ang
napagbuntungan niya ng inis niya. They danced sexily on the bar's dance floor...and she wasn't
comfortable with it. Napilitan lang siya. And there, Renzo said a few things that she didn't expect. Her
very first kiss happened.

Everything went awkward after that. Pero nawala iyon nang magawa niyang pasunurin si Helene sa
resort kasama ang mga magulang nito. She was quiet the whole time but Renzo's doing things to talk to
her. Marupok siya para dito at alam niya iyon...but she couldn't take it when she'd get hurt again. Hindi
pa nga siya sigurado kung naka-move on na ito sa Auntie Manuela niya o hindi pa.

One time at the pool, mag-isa siyang nagswi-swimming. Naabutan siya ni Renzo doon at inabutan siya ng
wine. They talked casually hanggang sa umabot na naman doon sa nangyari sa bar. Nahihiya siyang pag-
usapan iyon pero nag-iinsist si Renzo.
Kinabukasan, dumating naman ang parents niya pati ang kanyang mga auntie at uncle...syempre kasama
si Manuela. She was, at first, shocked dahil sa ipinakita nitong interest kay Renzo habang siya'y
nananahimik. Her aunt was flirting with him! Samantalang ang alam niya ay may boyfriend na ito. Ang
mas nagpaigting pa sa selos niya ay hindi niya alam kung nagugustuhan ba iyon ni Renzo o hindi.

After that day, she met her bastard and boasftul son of a bitch ex-boyfriend. Nong una'y hindi niya ito
pinansin ngunit nang mag-apologize ito sa kanya ay lumambot siya. Yon lang naman ang kailangan niya
talaga, e. She hanged out with her ex sa pamamagitan ng paglalakad sa seaside...not knowing na nakita
pala ni Renzo.

Habang papasok siya sa kanyang suite ay hinila siya nito sa kwarto nito. She got irritated—they're both
angry. Nagkakasigawan sila because of the damn jealousy. For the second time, sinabi nito na mahal siya
nito and she couldn't believe it. Five years had passed...tapos mahal siya nito? Pakiramdam niya'y
napipilitan lang itong sabihin iyon sa kanya dahil aware ito na may feelings siya para dito. Isa pa,
muntikan na siyang mamatay roon sa site. Baka concerned lang si Renzo sa kanya.

Her Auntie Manuela kept on flirting with Renzo almost everyday that they're at the resort. Pilit man
siyang hindi magselos, hindi niya rin magawa dahil alam niyang masakit. Ramdam niya ang sakit.
Minahal ni Renzo si Manuela at mukhang gusto na ito ni Manuela ngayon...paano pa siya maniniwala na
mahal siya ni Renzo? Baka mamamaya'y magkarelasyon na pala ang dalawa dahil siya mismo, alam
niyang naghihintay lang si Renzo kay Manuela. Baka pastime lang siya nito at na-confused ito sa sariling
feelings.

One time, she was alone watching the waves at the boardwalk. Ang pamilya niya'y nag-eenjoy sa
pagkain ng lunch ngunit hindi siya sumama dahil nasu-suffocate na siyang makita ang ka-sweet-an ni
Manuela kay Renzo. Not knowing na tumanggi rin pala sa pagsama sa lunch si Renzo at bigla na lang
siyang tinabihan sa boardwalk. Kahit nagsasalita, hindi niya ito pinansin dahil kumikirot ang puso niya.
Naninibugho siya because she could not touch Renzo the way Manuela did to him. She couldn't...ever.

Lalo pa nang pinaglaruan siya nito. He teased her that she was jealous that made her boiling point so
high. Nainis siya rito kaya nasigawan niya. Wala namang tao kaya hindi siya nahiya. But when Renzo
touched her and kissed her with no holds barred, nawala lahat. Lalo pa noong sinabi nitong wala na
itong feelings para sa auntie niya. That he's hers, no matter what.
c. Climax

-Naging sila...secretly because Manuela just recently warned her to stay away from Renzo. Hindi niya
sinabi iyon sa nobyo niya. The other night, niyaya siya nito sa isang date sa yate mismo ng binata. She
was in full awe and admiration when she saw his surprise for her. It was her very first date...and she felt
the luckiest to receive such a grand surprise. They slept in his yacht. And out of too much happiness and
overwhelming feeling, she gave herself to him.

After that day, umuwi na sila sa Manila dahil marami silang aasikasuhin sa trabaho, lalo na siya. Renzo
and her are secretly dating when they have the time. Ipinapakita nito sa kanya ang mundong
ginagalawan nito noong nasa hometown pa nito...and she felt so honoured. Napasok niya ang totoong
buhay ng minamahal niyang si Enrique Lorenzo. Nakilala niya rin ang pinakamamahal nitong Lola Sylvia.

And a certain conflict happened. After a month, biglang lumitaw ang balita na na-rape daw ang pinsan
niyang si Raciella sa resort...and they're blaming Renzo dahil sinasabi ni Raciella na ito ang gumahasa sa
kanya. She was furious and so ready to protect Renzo against their accusations. Mabuti na lang at kampi
sa kanya ang mga magulang niya.

She did not see Renzo for a week. She felt frustrated lalo pa noong malaman niyang buntis siya. Ang
mommy niya lang ang nakakaalam dahil masyado pang komplikado ang lahat. Nagpakita lang si Renzo sa
kanya noong pumasok siya sa office. Pumunta sila sa condo nito at doon nag-usap. She told him about
the pregnancy and she was the happiest to see him admiring her and thanking her. Na sa kabila ng
malalang mga pangyayari, may magandang biyaya pa rin na ipinagkaloob Niya sa kanila.

Kinabukasan, her family had set a conference meeting to set things up hangga't hindi pa nasasampahan
ng kaso si Renzo para menos issue. It didn't went well lalo pa't nagkakasagutan ang magkabilang
pamilya. Nadamay pa siya dahil nalaman na pala ng Auntie Manuela niya ang kanyang pagbubuntis.

d. Falling Action

-After that, they stayed at Lola Sylvia's rest house. Doon niya nalaman na siya pala talaga ang target ng
Uncle niya dahil sooner or later, sa kanya mapupunta ang SGC na ipapamana sa kanya ng kanyang Lolo.
Nadamay lang si Renzo dahil naniniwala itong ang nobyo niya ang isa sa kanyang mga galamay kaya
hindi siya naaapektuhan nito. Pati rin ang aksidenteng dapat mangyayari sa kanya ay ito rin pala ang
may kagagawan. She cried so hard and asked for so many times to go back to Manila but Renzo didn't
agree with it.
But then, her father requested that they should attend the SGC's anniversarry party. Napilitan si Renzo
na umuwi sila ng Manila. Manuela apologized for what she'd done in the meeting and she forgave her.
Kung hindi lang siguro ito harap-harapang nanlandi kay Renzo noon.

After the party, her father confronted their uncle at may kaunting gulo pang naganap. Nasa likuran lang
siya ni Renzo sa takot nitong baka ma-ospital na naman sila ng anak niya. And when her father said
something that hit her uncle's bull's eye, doon na ito umamin. All of his hatred towards their family, the
jealousy, the unfairness 'kuno' of his life...all of it. But her grandfather suddenly arrived, saying that he
should not be doing all the evil things 'cause he treats him as his son. He said he planned to give him
50% of his properties for taking care of him and the rest of the half would be given to Gonzalo, Vio, and
Manuela. Her uncle broke into tears with the revelation. (lol, 'cause he just heard the part wherein Mr.
Cañizares said that CC would be in Naxia's hands.)

e. Resolution

As for the ending, Naxia did not file a case against her uncle because his wife is still pregnant like her.
She knows the feeling of losing someone...and she doesn't want her to feel it mostly when she's
pregnant. Bilang parusa, tinanggalan ng Lolo niya ng shares ang kanyang uncle na siyang tinanggap
naman ng uncle niya sa huli. He also apologized...but she won't get to forgive him that easy. She just
accepted the fact that everything happened...and that she's safe despite all the dangerous happenings.
Renzo proposed to her in front of her family and his family. She was two months pregnant.

V. Conflict

What is the core conflict?31

CORE CONFLICT (Person against person/ Man versus Man)

-From the very start, it's Naxia's uncle who wants her gone because of the damn inheritance she could
get from her grandfather, (that's only fair because she found out that her dad's the only and true son of
her grandfather because the other three children of her grandfather was from the other men she had an
affair with). Despite that, her uncle wanted everything she would get because he believed he deserved it
after doing everything for the near bankruptcy of the company before and for taking care of Mr.
Cañizares who's already bedridden.
(So the sub-conflicts would come from this core conflict)

SUBCONFLICTS:

EXTERNAL WORLD CONFLICT

-Their world's only revolving about business so Naxia, going in a different path as an Architect created a
conflict between her and her father who's expecting her to be business-minded enough because he
knew from the very start that his daughter would inherit his father's business. Also, people thinks of her
more lowly because of her chosen career. Although, prominent in the Architecture industry, she's
different so people have the nerves to compare her to her aunt that makes her father believe that
Manuela and Enrique Lorenzo fit for each other.

EXTERNAL-PERSONAL CONFLICT

-Renzo's ex-girlfriend, who happen to be the girl she nearly-killed before was also coincidentally an
architect. Once, the girl ruined her design for an exclusive client that caused her failure and belittle by
the very people she believed won't hurt her—her family. No one believed that she's great in what she's
doing except her cousin and Renzo.

INTERNAL CONFLICT

-She's afraid to give she and Renzo a try because of the pain she felt when she got rejected for three
times. Mostly when everyone unintentionally tells her that only Manuela could fit the Villarde title. She's
full of doubts and fears (that would soon fade away when Enrique Lorenzo show her and tell her at the
same time how much love, may it simple or grand, he could give her)

(Check the conflict) Nangyayari ba siya sa worst possible time? At an uncomfortable place or situation?

-Hindi masyado but I think this would enhance the internal conflict and the emotions would heighten na
rin, which is I plan to improve with the stories I'm writing.

Is your character terrified of heights, water, surgery, losing a loved one, losing her job, becoming
homeless or having her heart broken?

-Having her heart broken, yes. And also with cockroaches and rats.
may isa pa bang character na pwedeng magpalala ng situation ng main character mo? May madadagdag
pa ba sa mga kontrabida sa buhay ng bida mo?

-Yes, si Arianna. 'Cause she would blabber make-believes that Naxia's not a good architect that would
enhance the three-dimensional conflicts. Though, she won't be flirting with Renzo na. Siya naman ang
may malaking effect para magulo lahat sa buhay ni Naxia. Manuela, she'd just give half the tension kasi
she's a cool character lang na akala mo may binabalak pero wala naman. Then 'yong uncle niya, siya
talaga ang mastermind sa lahat so malaki epekto niya rin sa mga three-dimensional conflicts kasi
magkakaroon ng kalituhan si Naxia kung coincidence lang ba lahat ng mishaps niya or sinadya talaga.
Dagdag malaki pang problema, kumbaga.

Ask yourself these questions too:

- Sino ang nais ba ng main character mo sa side niya ng argument?

-Si Renzo, siyempre 'tsaka si Tiara (but Renzo won't be interfering with Naxia's tension with others
haha). Kahit hindi na friends niya kasi if some argument would happen, she needs the two to boost her
confidence and cleanse her mind.

- Sino 'yong taong ayaw talagang makasagupa ng main character mo?

-Si Arianna sa Architecture, si Manuela sa business. 'Tsaka Uncle Vio niya na masungit to the point na
rude na.

Ano bang meaning ang gustong iparating ng characters mo on certain things?

-Naxia believes that she's too low for Renzo.

-Renzo believed to wait for Naxia and that he already lowered himself for them to become equal in the
line of love.

-Tiara (before) believed the same with Naxia and Tira (after) believed that it's wrong for Naxia to believe
that she's too low because no one's low. In love and in the eyes of God, everything's equal may you are
rich, poor, successful as fuck, or a failure.

Anong alam ng characters mo sa bawat isa? Paano magkakaroon ng away sa pagitan ng mga characters
mo given 'yong alam nila sa isa't isa?
-Well, Naxia knew Renzo with the way he acts, talks, and his hobbies but not his feelings. The gap would
appear din that would push up the internal-personal conflict kasi ang alam lang niya ay si Renzo outside,
not the inside.

-Renzo's the smartest, but he never knew the reason behind Naxia's actions. He always wondered why
she's different from other girls out there. Though, he can read her words and emotions through her
face, he still couldn't find out why does she act this way, what's the reason behind that action, and how
did she come up with this. Mostly din kapag napapahamak si Naxia. Dito sila sa tingin ko magkakaroon
ng kaunting tension kasi Naxia will go through many mishaps din with her signature weird actions before
that happens. Let's say she's clumsy na rin.

Ano ang sa tingin mo kayang i-risk ng characters mo sa conflict na meron sa kwento? Ano ang at risk sa
kanila?

-Well, Renzo could risk not telling the truth to Naxia to protect her. Pero pailalim siya gumaganti and
nag-iimbestiga sa uncle nito.

-Naxia could risk her pride na rin kasi uncle niya 'yon and she would choose to forgive him over and over
again kasi naiintindihan niya rin naman ang rason nito kung bakit nakagawa ng mga ganoon. He did her
best to please her Lolo but he thought his best wasn't still enough.

Posible bang may 2 characters na magkasalungat ang goals nila sa kwento?

-Yes, probably. Naxia and Renzo sa climax kasi Naxia pushes to go to Manila kahit delikado while Renzo
declines kasi nga preggy siya. Naxia wants to know more of the truth, while Renzo wants her safety first.

May character ka ba na gustong ma-involve sa 2 magkakontrang aspeto at the same time? 'Yong tipong
gusto ko ng malaking promotion sa work pero gusto ko rin makasama ang babaeng pinakamamahal ko
nang madalas? Alin ang mas matimbang?

-Yes! One time siguro in the story, Renzo had to choose between his grandmother na nagkasakit and
Naxia who's sick worried to her mother who met an accident. Renzo would choose first his grandmother
kasi alam niyang malala na ang sakit nito that time.

What do they want out of every scene?

-Well, Naxia of course wants to get Renzo's love every scene. Then Renzo wants Naxia safe starting
when she met Ariana kasi alam niyang pakulo 'yon ng uncle ni Naxia.
What do they want out of every interaction?

-Renzo would want to break the walls between them but his goal is to wait. And Naxia, wanted to
confess over and over again (her heart says this) but she's afraid to get hurt again (her mind says).

So parang magiging goal ni Naxia ay ang mahalin siya ni Renzo—iwasan si Renzo because of fear of
being broken—kalimutan na lang ang feelings niya at bigyan ng pag-asa ang ibang gustong manligaw.

What do they want with every line of dialogue? Why are they saying these exact words at this exact
time? Have an objective. Then go bigger.

-Actually, tipid lang magsasagot si Renzo at medyo masungit pa, sign na may alam siya pero ayaw niyang
sabihin. Tapos si Naxia naman, medyo madaldal 'tsaka maarte magsalita kaya medyo sassy si dialogues
niya. Pero dahil 'yon sa ayaw niyang magmukhang mahina.

So ang objective sa parts na iyon ay ang may inililihim si Renzo at ipokrita si Naxia dahil nagpapanggap
siyang fierce kahit mahina naman talaga ang loob niya.

What are their life goals? Fifty years after the story ends, where are they headed?

-Noon pa man, pangarap na ni Enrique Lorenzo na magkaroon ng masayang pamilya at ganoon din si
Naxia. Then he would have din the Villarde Holdings and will help Naxia sa Cañizares Construction. After
fifty years siguro, they have three successful children na nagma-manage na ng mga kompanya nila then
sila naman is magtra-travel around the world and manonood ng sunset almost everyday.

VI. Moral Lesson

-Love can wait.

-Forgiveness is the key for every conflict. He forgave us despite all the sins, so we should forgive and
accept, too.

-There's no barriers, ranks, or rules in love. Just love.35
