Hello Roses! After a three year hiatus, I am finally back! To the readers of The Rose, I apologize for the not updating the story for a long time - really long time. I was busy at work and school, and so I had to postpone updating it. A family member of mine encouraged me to continue writing the story. She was delighted to see the positive comments you guys left, and no one appreciates it more than I do. It truly makes me happy! Now, I promise you that I will keep you updated with fresh chapters every week to keep the story going. I re-read the entire story, and I found out that there are a lot of things to improve(grammar, scenarios, plot), and so I decided to edit the entire story starting from the very beginning(this occupied most of my time). Yes, please feel free to re-read the story from the very beginning because a lot of scenarios were added for your convenience! :) I apologize in advance to the readers for the grammar/spelling/typo mistakes. No excuses, I am obviously not an expert! However, please feel free to message me for the corrections anytime, and I would gladly edit it. Lastly, napansin niyo siguro - bakit parang ang tagal magka-developan nung mga bida? At bakit ang dami nilang dialogues together? Well, that is because I want the lead characters to create a memorable time together. You will figure out what I mean as you read along . And most importantly, I want to highlight how a normal conversation between two people are - that it is not fast paced, and a lot of things really do happen in a day. :) That's it for now! Please enjoy it, and let's make magic! ;) For Book 2 of The Rose, kindly click on the link: https://www.wattpad.com/313442036-the-rose-a-withered-petal-book-2-of-the-rose
