The Secret of my Emotion

By Ven Corre

The Secret of My Emotion is a coming-of-age love story centered on Eli Reyes, an 18-year-old Filipino-American who returns to the Philippines from Alaska to pursue his passion for music. While adjusting to the vibrant, chaotic life in Metro Manila, Eli meets Ruby, a bright and kind classmate who quickly becomes his close friend. But there's a catch-Ruby is already in a relationship.

As the days go by, Eli finds himself falling deeply for Ruby, hiding his feelings behind friendship and quiet moments. He struggles with his emotions, torn between his growing love for her and the respect he has for her current relationship. Through secret glances, late-night phone calls, and shared experiences, Eli navigates the emotional tension of unspoken love.

The story explores Eli's internal conflict, his longing, and the quiet hope that one day, Ruby might feel the same way. It's a heartfelt tale of youth, restraint, and emotional honesty-about loving someone in silence and the courage it takes to protect both the heart and the friendship.
