Para sa mga bitter…

Para sa mga broken hearted…

Para sa mga iniwang luhaan…

Para sa mga nabigo sa pag-ibig…

Para sa mga nagmahal, nasaktan, at gustong bumangon…

Inihahandog ko ang kuwentong ito para sa inyo.

There are no failures, only lessons. – Bo Sanchez

"Huwag kang mag-alala, Ariel. Wala na ang mahinang Anchelle. Dahil simula sa araw na ito, hindi na siya iiyak. Lalaban na siya. At wala nang mananakit sa kaniya." Ngumiti siya nang mapakla sa kaibigan.

"An An, huwag mong hayaang lamunin ng poot ang puso mo. Hindi masayang mabuhay na puno ng galit ang iyong dibdib. Hayaan mo na lang na makasalubong niya ang karma."

Hindi madaling mag-move on. Ngunit kung sa tingin mo'y ginawa mo na ang lahat ng kaya mo para maisalba ang relasyon ninyo at nagawa ka pa rin niyang iwan, tama na.
Hindi sa lahat ng panahon ay laban lang tayo nang laban. Dahil may mga panahong kailangan mo nang isuko ang paglaban kung wala na rin naman itong patutunguhan.

Let go and move on.

Madaling sabihin, pero mahirap gawin kapag ikaw na ang nasa sitwasyon.

Paano nga ba mag-move on?

Subaybayan ang kwento ni Anchelle. Minsang umibig at nasaktan, ngunit muling bumangon.

Dahil sa bawat pagkakadapa, ito ang magtuturo sa atin kung paanong ang pagkakamali ay maitatama.

Ito po ang aking kauna-unahang nobela na ipo-post ko rito sa Steemit. Ito'y isinulat ko bilang inspirasyon noong ako'y nabigo sa pag-ibig dalawang taon na ang nakalipas. Charot!
At ito rin ang pinakauna at nag-iisang nobela na aking natapos.
Mayroon po itong isang prologo, labing-dalawang kabanata, at isang epilogo sa kabuuan. Pero hahatiin ko sa 35 hanggang 40 na bahagi ang kwentong ito kapag ipo-post ko na rito sa Steemit.
Ang schedule din ng aking pagpo-post ay lunes hanggang biyernes dahil galang-pusa po ako at madalas gumala kapag weekends. Bale, aabot din ng dalawang buwan ang pagpo-post ko hanggang sa maabot na natin ang sukdulan. :D

Sana'y suportahan n'yo po ang isinulat kong kuwento na tumulong din sa akin nang malaki sa pagmo-move on.

Enjoy reading! And for broken hearted out there, don't be bitter. Be better. :)
