WELCOME TO SACRAMENTO

   Today was one of the most heart wrenching day of my life. A day I will never forget, a day when I had to leave the place which grew on me.

I stared at the cabin with hot  tears lingering in my eyes, I could remember when my father and I would sit around the fireplace with a glass of coffee or hot tea especially during at rainy days to talk about life and memorable events.

Why did he had to die?

Why did he had to leave me so untimely without even a goodbye.

His last wish was for me to live with my mother in Sacramento, California . A woman who left us for her supposed career. A woman who I never saw as my mother or wasn't there when I needed her the most in my life, only until the day of my father's burial she came and smiled at me which was new to me.

"The car is ready, Miss Elaine" Old Lucas said has he helped me carry out my luggages.

"Oh... okay" I replied with a deep sigh following suite. I stared again at my surrounding with a heavy heart, my eyes lingered at the a small corner with seats which I used to write my books.

"Good bye, Home" I said finally, closing the door slowly behind me.

~~~~~~~~

The ride was smooth and quiet as we rode along the road of California with a mixed expression.

How was life going to treat me there?

Would it be any different?

Elaine thought as her mind drifted to her last breakup with Chris. I hoped and thought that I  had finally found my perfect and right man until I realized he was cheating on me with my best friend.

Love was definitely not for me even when I was in a relationship with Chris I always had a doubtful mind on our relationship so I wasn't surprised he was cheating on me what hurt me the most was that I tried to take our relationship seriously but he ended up breaking my trust with my best friend, Mila.

"How is Sacramento like?" I finally broke the silence which was making me uncomfortable.

"Miss...I really don't know much about Sacramento but I heard it's a wonderful city with friendly people." Old Lucas said with a casual smile lingering on his rough face. " You're going to love there, Miss " He added.

"I hope..." I could only but mutter.

"We're arriving Sacramento" Old Lucas announced.

My eyes slowly drifted to the large green billboard with a large uppercase writing surrounding by beautiful overgrown trees which complimented its look.

WELCOME TO SACRAMENTO.
