Some stories are not written for the world to read; they are written for hearts that once loved, lost, and still beat in silence. This is one such story.

I never imagined that a simple chapter of my life could one day become a tale worth telling. But sometimes, pain, struggle, and love leave footprints so deep in your soul that they refuse to fade with time. This is not just a story of love between a boy and a girl; this is a story of dreams that were shattered, promises that were broken, and hearts that tried to heal but couldn't forget.

Through Aju's laughter and tears, through Sarah's strength and doubts, I found pieces of my own life reflected in every page. This book is for anyone who has loved fearlessly, lost painfully, and yet dared to dream of love again.

To those who believe that first love fades, this story might tell you otherwise.

To those who have struggled in silence, this story might feel like your own voice.

And to the one who once walked beside me this is for you, wherever you are.
