Fate discovered that her parents had arranged her marriage to a stranger, prompting her to depart from New York with a firm determination to alter her destiny. She hoped to find her soulmate, her true love, in a faraway place.

My name is...
It was the saddest night of my life. I cried non-stop inside my hotel room for five straight hours. I don't know why I felt like I just came out of a break-up. What a cursed fate! I haven't started a relationship yet, and here I am, crying my heart out in the dark hotel room in a faraway land.
That night, I grieved my broken heart. I felt chest pains, shortness of breath, and irregular heartbeats; for how long, I lost count.
I came full circle in nine hours as I experienced my "Five Stages of Grieving a Broken Heart."
Denial. It can't be true. I came to Kyoto to find love. So many questions came to mind. Why me? Why him? So many whys? All I can't seem to answer.
Bargaining. I will disobey my parents on the marriage agreement if I can be with Joseph. But.
Anger. How? He is engaged. I have a prince.Life sucks! Bigtime! My hate level is beyond 100%!
Acceptance. It really is the fate I am given. So. I surrender to my pain!
Redirect Hope. Maybe this is love, god's way of telling me I must stick it out with my nameless and faceless prince.
Kyoto taught me to love & life lesson hard. An "almost relationship" can break you more than anything else. In a day, I have ridden the most unimaginable roller coaster ride. I felt flurries, butterflies, excitement, and LOVE. And by the end of the day, I felt the worst pain in my chest and stomach. A dull ache, piercing and crushing sensation altogether. Not to mention the buckets and pails of tears that I cried.
I found my first love in Kyoto and felt my first broken heart.
But just the same, He is the best thing that happened to me in Jishu.
He was right; we will always have Kyoto.
