    Time a four letter word.that little round shapy thing in everyone's house is what we live by in this world.the time we sleep,wake up,eat and go to work is all determined by time.but the unfortunate thing about time is that it waits for no one.

It felt like yesterday when my mum and I lost our rock, my dad.but its been six years.six years has gone by like the twinkling of an eye.it hasn't been easy at all after the death of my dad.

It was like my mother has lost a big piece of herself. She couldn't stop crying and thinking, and that almost got her depressed. So her therapist suggested that we change cities and my mum thought it was a good idea cause there was too many memories here.so we move cities from Boston to new York.

Getting to the big apple wasn't an easy ride.we didn't really have much money left because after dad went broke,the little savings we had for my college funds was used for his burial so we had to start again from the bottom.

It wasn't easy at first, getting accustomed to the busy city and we had to get jobs.I worked at a coffee shop closer to the building where we lived and my mum worked at a bakery.I worked at the coffee shop for two years while I was going to high school.I graduated and I was still working there.

One day the owner of the coffee shop wanted to sell it saying she was tired and her body needed rest.I thought it would be a good idea about buying the coffee shop since I had experience in making coffee and my mom knows how to bake.so we bought it with the little money we had and we've been managing it since then.

After some months later business was running good and money was coming in.my mom expanded it and did some renovations.

It was now time to go to college.we had some money saved up from the coffee business but it wasn't enough so I applied for a scholarship program and luckily I was among the few that they accepted and gave the scholarship to.so I went to college and left my mom and started living on campus with my best friend I met in high school Rachel.but I still came home during holidays or break to help my mum out at the shop.

Everyday on campus was hard but I went through everything knowing that "tomorrow is another day"that if things aren't good today,it would surely be good the next.and after four years of staying late night and drinking loads of coffee to do projects, four years of staying awake and  looking like the dead during finals has finally come to an end and has paid off.I was finally graduating college.

The atmosphere was very lively, everywhere was bright and everyone was chattering happily amongst themselves.my mother was the happiest cause she was all smiles and telling everyone that her daughter is among the people graduating today.

I'm very happy but I would forever be grateful to the black-haired guy I met that day at the grave yard that told me it was okay for things to not be okay and that if you want things to be good,you have to fight for it and live your live fully. I never stopped thinking about him.I remember the day before we were to live Boston, I went to the my father's grave thinking that I could see him but I waited and waited but there was no sign of him.so I left thinking he was an angel that was sent to comfort and encourage me that day when I needed a friend.

Through college when things were really hard and I felt like giving up,I always remembered what he said that "tomorrow was another day" and that made me to continue fighting on.I was snapped out of my thought when the dean finished giving his speech and started calling out names to give out degrees. When it was my turn my mother was clapping the loudest with tears in her eyes.I was so happy that I was able to make her proud after everything she has done for me and everything we've been through.

Every girl graduating today was happy and dressed in their best wears.it wasn't because of the graduation but maybe a small part of it,but it was mainly because of the person that was coming to give his speech today.Axel Giovanni. The son of Mr.vitali Giovanni of the famous Giovanni enterprise. The successful millionaire that just became the CEO of one of the biggest companies in New York.he was in his middle twenties so every girl wanted to catch his eyes.he was called to the stage to give his speech and when he came it was like they poured cold water on everyone.he has this aura around him that compels everyone to pay attention and listen.he was tall,like 6"3.he was very handsome and his body was out of this world. With bulging muscles threatening to rip out of his dress shirt,and he had midnight hair and gray-blue eyes to match.while he was giving his speech I heard Rachel my best friend say "wow". I couldn't say anything cause I was speechless, not because of his beauty. A little though but the thing that got my tongue tied was because I was seeing my black-haired boy after so many years but the only thing was that not only was he not a young boy again.but he was Axel Giovanni and his eyes was looking straight at me.
