Japan Sunset

During a company retreat to Colmar, I found out my boyfriend was going to propose at sunset, surrounded by colleagues. Instead, in the golden light, he dropped to one knee with a ring in hand in front of someone else. “Lana, I’m ready to be the father of your child.

Mark’s eyes were bloodshot as he grabbed my wrist. “Rosie, you’re finally back. Don’t leave me again…”

Simple lang ang gusto ko sa buhay, ang makapag-aral ng kolehiyo sa Japan para makamit ko ang pagiging Manga artist.
