author's note

So, this remarks the end of Elan and Evan's journey. But life doesn't end right there, and neither does the journey of travelers. Maybe, Evan finally learned to cope with the ups and downs, waving tides of life. But we close the door of this fictional journey and relieve the moments of realities or how it might end up in your imagination.

. . .

As I said before, I will say at last how this story came—so as I said, all characters and events have been fictional, but this is inspired by real life. Yes, in reality, there is no savior or anchor to sail your boat. Even though we're looking forward on a positive note: let's just say life can be a bittersweet symphony (sometimes).

And this story is inspired by my two real-life friends. Unfortunately, I have lost them. Life happens, and many things happen—in short, we can agree that death is an inevitable part of life. If there's a beginning, it must end, too, at some point. It doesn't look after how young or old you are. It can be so sudden sometimes, you can have hardly any time to process it. I wouldn't say much there (since some things are better left unsaid and private), but I wouldn't deny the fact that I still miss them. And I will remember them til' my last breath.

This little journey is dedicated to those two friends who left their impact in such a short span of time and out of there for everyone—who's struggling and battling with life each and every day. I'm proud of you!

Yes, real Elan and Evan's life never collided together, but some parts have been true (with, of course, molded chasm)—especially the last climax of this story was real. I didn't make it up to give a tragic twist but it just shows how life can be unpredictable. We think we can plan out everything, but when life comes with a twisted fate, we are left with not many choices.

On a better aspect, so enjoy those little moments and make them counted before they slip through your hands. Remember that, you're not alone there.

So, keep going and keep shining. You matter! :))

It's not been my finest work of fiction/light-hearted story without much graphic details or literary fiction or whatever you name it but my heartiest gratitude to you for reading til' the end!
