PROLOGUE

It's nice weather to start my day. The clouds are too clear and the sun is too bright that's also saying "hey! Start your day already. You have a lot of articles to work on."

It's been 4 years since I lived here, away from the people who treat me like trash and also from the people I loved. Ever since I got here to the US, I already cut my communication with my friends and some people to the Philippines but not to my family. Sometimes I talk to my family but it's just like a very quick chatting with them because I'm too busy with my work. I always got scolded because I overworked but I can't help it this is only the way I can forget every hurtful thing I had in the past.

It's been 4 years and I might say that I feel good and I'm doing well. I've moved on but I can't forgive them in the meantime. I think time will just come.

I work as an editor in chief in a magazine company and I think my experience working here in magazine company is a good idea because I can meet someone or somebody, and I can talk to other people it's either they are popular or not.

"Good morning Ms. Lee!" I greet her. She is Rachel Lee, half Filipino, and half Chinese. She was kind and I'm kind of comfortable by her side. After how many years pass by I already treat her as my younger sister. "Good morning too Ma'am Lacerna. I already sent you an email that you need regarding our next project." She said.

"Thank you, Ms. Lee," I said before I left her and walk towards our company snack room because I suddenly want to have or as simple as I crave for a black coffee. And by that, I just walk faster and also holding my white mug.

After I finish mixing some coffee powder and a little bit sugar I pour hot water in my mug. And right after that, I go to my cubicle which is my table and then I check some email while sipping a black coffee to my mug. I got so many emails about work and other stuff but when I slowly scrolling in my inbox I got a familiar email which made me open it suddenly. And then I saw a simple white and pink floral wedding invitation with gold colors of their names in front and it's from one of my best friend Bella from the Philippines. It says that I'm invited to join her big day by the end of the month. And it also contains a message "Dash you need to come in that event, please. I want you here before my big day coz it's my last time to hang out with you. Please come back here and I promise that we will enjoy that hang out night. Thank you in the advance dash and love lots!"
