Chapter 1: 01


    In a year, everything could happen; changes will always ur. We couldn''t tell what is going to happen


    and we have no choice but go with the flow.


    Life is simply like that.


    Not everything you slept withst night have a guarantee to be with you the next morning you wake up.


    That''s the reality we have to ept; whether we like it or not, that''s the reality.


    "You''re so uptight, Jia. You should loosen up," Hansel said after handing me a cup of coffee. ck


    coffee, my favorite.


    "I have deadlines to attend to Hans." I simply answered, shaking my head.


    Hans is my best friend. He was the only person who picked me up when I was a total mess and broken


    into pieces. He helped me stand, while those people who call their selves my friends left me in the time


    where I needed them most.


    "You were always chasing on your deadlines, when we both know for a fact that there''s no deadlines to


    chase," he said on a matter of fact tone. I rolled my eyes. "You are always ahead of your deadlines; you


    can’t fool me. You can''t reason that out to me anymore." He added.


    I sighed.


    "You know how demanding my work is, Hans. One mistake could lead me to aplicated situation,


    and you know how much I hated that," I reasoned still.


    I''m a marketing manager in a manufacturingpany and we manufacture different kinds of bags of


    different brands, it was a made to order from a foreign buyer. And from them, our products are going to


    market in different countries all over Asia, America and even Europe. So, I have to pay close attention


    to the production of each products, because one mistake, even small, could always lead us to dy of


    production.


    "Your work doesn''t demand anything more than as you already are, Jia. It was only you who always


    thinks that you need to prove anything to anyone when in fact, no one is questioning your validity…


    reason why you always get hurt," he whispered hisst words but it clearly came to me.


    I stared at him; a bit disappointed to hear that from him.


    He was at again stepping out of his limits.


    He sighed upon seeing my expression. "What I am trying to say is, have a break, Jia. You should


    loosen up and go on a vacation," He said.


    "I don''t have time," I answered stubbornly.


    He shook his head. "Yes, you do have," he insists, taking out a vacation slip from my desk’s drawer and


    filling it out with my name.


    “Hans!” I called him, trying to snatch the slip. "I''m busy, Hans," I insist as well, still trying to stop him


    frompleting the form.


    "Stop being stubborn, Jianna. It was only you that thinks you are busy," he said.


    "Hansel, please…"I pleaded.

    But he took a deep breath. I know where this is going.


    "How long are you going to make your life miserable? You have been stuck at that phase, Jianna. It


    has been a year. Move on," He then blurted.


    I stood from my seat. "Enough, Hansel." I said,posing myself to stay calm; trying really hard not to


    explode.


    "You tell that to yourself," he breathed.


    "You don''t know anything," I said but he just smirked.


    "I''ll talk to Mikael. I''ll ask him for a vacation leave," he pulled off of his seat. He left my office and I saw


    him going straight to the office of our CEO from the ss door of my office. And with that, I was set on


    a vacation leave.


    And it was the middle of the week, just where the fuck I''ll go?
