unrequited

BY RAYMOND OLIVER A. CRUZ

STORY DESCRIPTION

A young man falls in love. He is so happy. Love is beautiful. But he soon realizes that his feelings are unrequited—and he falls into despair. Love becomes painful. Then he gets infected with a deadly virus. He then thinks life will all end.

Will he find mercy? Is there hope on the horizon? Will he get a second chance? Will he make the right choice this time? And who will respond to his unrequited love?

REVIEWS

"This book was written by my favorite doctor, Dr. Raymond Oliver A Cruz". It is a compilation of poems. It's like a romantic novel and stories in poems. Timeless and timely. This book awakens the poet in me."

"Julianneee and I read the book! Nakakakilig and it made me laugh. But in the 'Love is Painful' part, it's very very in contrast with the happiness of love in Chapter 1. I was like, 'Who hurt your ninong?' Baka his past experiences, hahaha."
Engrand

"His rhymes are on point. And it's easy to understand. Perfect for me. And yeah, I laughed in some parts, imagining having relationships with K-drama actors, haha."
