Prologue:
Hazel: There are no things such as perfect. Sometimes were happy, sometimes
were sad. You will never always get what you want. If there is joy, there is
sorrow, but after the rain the sun will shine again right?
Ive experienced such things. I thought all is perfect in my life. Happy family,
comfortable life, supportive friends, and especially my loving boyfriend.
And yet happiness is all I have, sadness is just waiting for me. But I believe I can
handle the heavy rain, the sun will shine for me and Ill see the rainbow at the
end of it.
What will give me happiness? Maybe love?
They always say love has its ups and downs
But how would you know where you belong if you have 2 choices that makes us
always confuse. Cause there is positive and negative reasons behind it.
So what will you choose? Where will you get the true happiness? The perfect
life or the everlasting love life?

Hazel: Why? Will you ever leave me?
Ethan: Of course not! I will always be right here by your side.

about me.
