900 years ago... on the year of 2002 AD, HE was born...
His name... was Miguel Ibarra. A regular Human. But with an atypical mind! He saw the world differently! Very differently! Definitely differently! His mind can't even handle the overstimulations of it all! So, he was labeled as... DUMB!!! DIFFERENT!!! Strange... Bizarre... This made him question... Will he be alone forever?
His parents were rather... mean... But not that their intentions were mean! Miguel was loved very much! But, Daddy married Mommy to early, so Daddy, poor, poor Daddy, didn't have any money!
Thus, Miguel was sad. Alone. PATHETIC!!! Why? Because HE WAS POOR!!! So, he was dumped to his loving Aunt's home. Who was a BRAIN doctor! She noticed something... rather strange about Miguel's behavior! Something strange... Like... something plagued his mind... He saw the world... differently. Acted different. But, I digress. His parents saw this side of him. Got scared. And tried to... correct him. They tried every way to make sure he was AS NORMAL as possible. His father eventually became a politician. Hooray! Money problem solved! Kidding! He still barely got paid by the government! It's the Philippines, after all! And, he was a very ethical politician. Everything NEEDS TO BE PERFECT, capiche? Beatle? Oh, Beatle. He wasn't... normal. He will never BE normal. Why? We don't know!
Mommy and Daddy had another kid! Hopefully, he won't be as much as a problem than Miguel! Oops! He has a condition!
Mommy and Daddy weren't happy that he had a condition, so they gave him all the love and support they can.
The Aunt, who was a BRAIN DOCTOR, asked, "What about the elder brother?"
They were like, "Eh! He's smart in the early years! He'd be fine!"
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
He grew older. Reaching High School, he lost... that side of himself. He lost... his image of intelligence. He was no longer... normal.
He grew depressed. He punched a classmate out of fear and anger for making fun of his insecurities. His name was Tyrone. He was his best friend. Oh, dear.
Miguel was alone. Truly alone.
They found out about his condition, but it was too late. His mother spent the rest of her life trying to make up for it. Daddy, though? No. He had to make his son prove himself for the world! For himself! His SON... Not the Dad, of course! But... Wouldn't hurt to get some of that juicy detailed credit, after all!
Miguel grew older. He reached college. He found friends? Yes. He found one. He met... Anne Anastasia. But, she fell in love with his ex-best friend, now bully, Tyrone Tierrez. Why? Anne... was very afraid of how people saw her... With HIM of all people? He's... strange... creepy... deranged, even... He's needy... He NEEDS and DESIRES too much. He dares ruin her image!?!? No! No! She MUST end up with Tyrone! Perfect Tyrone! Perfect KING TYRONE!!!
Miguel realized something... He will... forever be alone.
Miguel left his course... and set on a new path... He left his father... He left his mother... He left... his own Aunt... The only woman who truly supported him his whole life... This Miguel had no grandparents to live with. They all died in the war. No... This Miguel... Miguel Ibarra... walked to the valley of death... and feared no evil.
But one thing was for certain. His Aunt reminded him... there is good... in everyone...
But then... Someone happened to be voted... President by the Filipinos! His name, was Dingdong! Dingdong Narciso! The handsomest, most beloved man on Earth! Look at the jawline! I know this is a book and all you're seeing is words on a screen and/or paper if this gets published, BUT IMAGINE THAT JAWLINE!!! Wooo! That's right, baby! He is NUMBUH 1, BRO!!!
And so...
Miguel... nicknamed Beatle... would meet someone beautiful. Aurora Fernandez. Physically beautiful, attractive, but average-looking in the eyes of others. To Miguel, or... Beatle... She was the most beautiful human being he laid his eyes upon. And like him! She was different! Atypical! And he loved ALL of her for it!
And... so begins their story...
