hi everyone, to my old readers of my unpublished book entitled "Neglected Love" formerly known as "Bullying to Love" that I have written back in 2019. I have sorrowful news for all of you. I know it's a bit late, but the inspiration behind my main lead, Justine Bautista, had passed away just this January 20 due to an accident. I felt bereaved as that person is actually my cousin and the reason why I became a writer. Other than that, I treated him as my own brother. I know some of you won't remember him as I do, yet I believe he still exists, now only in my story. He was too kind, too early to leave us in this world.
As a tribute, I will soon revise and unpublish the story that was inspired by him. Not gonna start now, but will in the future when I'm no longer busy. It would include rebranding the story's title and some immature scenes would be deleted or changed. However, some chapters won't be edited as I wanted dashing_pink's (my old username) writing style to remain to be engraved in the story. It's a raw 13 yr old work and I believe I shouldn't delete dashing_pink's effort in writing, she deserves to be recognized still as she was the reason why I have met many friends in this platform a long time ago. She was the foundation of azulisgray, and will ever be thankful for that.
To Justine,
Utol, alam kong mapayapa ka na diyan, pero sana hayaan mo akong ialay sayo to. Tanda ko pa nung nagreunion tayo kinumusta mo pa yung aklat na inspired sayo. Sabi ko naka-unpublish, and ik na nadisappoint ka bc of that. But now, I promise 'tol na irerevise ko ang aklat na yon para sayo. I will publish it all dedicating to you. Nawa'y gabayan mo rin ako sa pag-ayos ng istoryang ito. I miss you so much, utol. Rest easy, you will always be remembered <3
