These are truths I was never taught to speak. Here lie the words I swallowed, the pain I buried, and the questions they told me not to ask. For the unheard. For the unseen. For the ones who feel too much in a world that tells them to feel less. I write for you. I write for me.

"Dito nagsisimula ang mga dasal na hindi laging binibigkas... at mga pusong hindi laging inaamin" Prologue Sa Likod ng Altar A love that was never supposed to bloom-grew anyway, in secret. Verniche Ivy Umali never imagined that her weekly choir practices and early Sunday mornings would become the most complicated chapter of her youth. All she ever wanted was to serve, sing, and maybe-just maybe-nurture a harmless crush on the parish's new priest, Rev. Father Ethan Bustamante. OFM. But what happens when that harmless crush is reciprocated with soft smiles, stolen glances, and hugs that feel more like home than any homily ever could? As their bond deepens beyond what's allowed, Vern finds herself caught between devotion and desire, between guilt and the kind of love that feels too real to be wrong. Surrounded by choirmates, youth leaders, and friends who may or may not be allies, her journey unfolds-with betrayal, heartbreak, confessions, and the slow, almost holy burn of falling for someone she was never meant to love. But behind every altar lies a truth. And behind every smile, a storm.
