The Elusive Heartless

THE LADIES' MAN TRILOGY SPIN-OFF

IVO'S STORY

-----

"Us against the world" ang drama nina Maui at Zeth. Legal na ampon sa pamilya ng babae ang lalaki - adoptive brother niya ito. At kahit hindi naman sila magkadugo, tutol ang mga magulang nila sa relasyon nilang dalawa. Dahil sa mata ng karamihan at sa mata ng batas, bawal ang pag-iibigan nila.

Nang gabing itatanan dapat siya ni Zeth at naghihintay siya sa meeting place nila, isang trahedya ang nangyari. Naaksidente ang lalaki at critical ang kondisyon nito until the doctor announced that he's brain dead. He won't wake up anymore because the brain stopped working. At oras na tanggalin ang life support nito, tuluyan na itong mamamatay.

Maui was torn between holding on to him and letting him go. May naging kasunduan kasi sila ni Zeth noon na kapag may nangyaring masama sa lalaki, ido-donate ang organs nito - partikular na ang puso nito. At hindi siya handa roon.

It was time to make decision. Even if it was hard and killing her inside, she let him go. And she didn't even bother to ask who was the recipient of his heart. He was gone. At kasama ang puso nito sa nawalang iyon.

Walang minahal si Maui gaya ng pagmamahal niya kay Zeth. Until she met Primitivo Larkin Balvedia. He was the exact opposite of her first love. Elusive and heartless. Kung hindi pa niya naramdaman na may tumitibok sa dibdib ng lalaki, iisipin niya talagang heartless ito - literally.

They may be two different persons, but they have one in common - making her heart beat erratically. After Zeth, kay Ivo na lang tumibok ang puso niya makalipas ang limang taon.

Nakilala niya ito. Mas lumalim din ang samahan nila at nararamdaman niya para sa lalaki. Until she later found out that Ivo was the recipient of Zeth's heart.

Now she was confused. Tumibok ba ang puso niya para kay Ivo o tumibok lang iyon at nakikilala ito ng puso niya dahil pagmamay-ari na nito ang puso ng unang lalaking minahal niya?
