Note: Hello Guys! I'm so sorry for making you wait for long, I know that some of you want to know the continuation of my story, but now I'm not in the house every day like a few months ago because I haven't work, and now I'm an employee of a company so it's hard for me to write, I start my work from 8 AM - 5 PM, and when I get home I feel sleepy and tired so sometimes I write the continuation of this story for maybe 50 words a day so that's why I'm slow in updating this story
But don't worry I still will write the continuation of this story and I have a plan that this story will available for season 2, I hope you like it and see you later 😃
