CALENDULA

Once upon a time, Allisya Mireya Samudra, a young girl since the age of 8, developed a fondness for Luis Edduardo Duttlof, a man ten years her senior. Their initial meeting sparked her admiration, which lingered despite Luis' belief that her feelings were temporary due to her teenage years of self-discovery. Reya consistently faced rejection from Luis, yet each refusal fueled her determination, leaving him increasingly uncomfortable with her persistence. As the years went by, Luis began to notice the profound changes in Reya, realizing the depth of her emotions and the facade she had been living behind. He felt regretful upon learning the truth about her life, which resembled the Calendula flower - a resilient symbol he had unknowingly associated with her. The flower, though often unwanted, managed to survive and bring solace amidst hardship. When Luis decided to rectify the situation, the dynamics between them shifted dramatically. He could no longer simply apologize for the daily hurt he caused, as their connection had evolved into something far more complex.
