Rainbows After the Rain (Fuck and Forget Series #1)

Special Note

Hello, Aries.

This will be my last Author's Note for RATR.

First of all, I will never get tired of saying that I never expected Rainbows After the Rain would reached 600k reads and still counting. Grabe po, Lord. Huhu. Ang ganda ng pa-birthday gift mo. I'm crying na tuloy.

When I started writing the first chapters of RATR, I wanted to publish it publicly agad. Pero naisip ko no'n na baka walang magbasa kaya nagsulat ako sa draft.

Isang araw ko lang inisip 'yong plot. The funny thing is I was washing the dishes when I suddenly thought of a break up scene in my mind. I even acted the lines, the actions, and then suddenly, bigla kong naisip na gawing au. But then, I knew how hard it is to make an au. Ang daming apps na kailangan kong gamitin. Bigla akong inatake ng katamaran hahahaha. Kaso ayaw akong lubayan ng plot no'ng break up scene eh. That's where I knew I had to make it a story, and bring those characters & lines to life. So ayon, takbo ako agad sa wattpad at sinulat ko 'yong Prologue. Iyong Prologue mismo, 'yon 'yong break up scene na naisip ko. And then nagtuloy-tuloy na sa pagpasok 'yong scenes sa utak ko hanggang sa nabuo ko ang 45 Chapters. And for those readers na sobrang galit kay Miko at sa adopted father ni Nick, don't worry dahil galit din ako.

Ang daming nagmemessage sa akin sa Instagram kung okay ba ako, kung kumusta ako, dahil masyadong realistic 'yong mga lines. Iniisip ng readers na napagdaanan ko na ba. And I wanna say, yes. I really did my best to make it as realistic as possible using my own feelings. May mga scenes sa story na totoo. Iyong scene na naglalaro sila sa ulan, my cof and I already did it sa mismong school namin. 'yong line na “if there's one thing I wanna say to the young me, I wanted that kid to stay where she is because my life here as an adult is draining” it was not just Nick, but me as well.

RATR saved me, comforted me, justified my feelings, and healed my inner child. And I'm beyond grateful that I was able to express myself, my feelings, and my hidden thoughts. Before, whenever I have something in mind, I always do notes. But this time, it wasn't a note. It was a whole story. Grabe 'tong story na 'to. Ang laki ng impact sa akin. Ako 'yong unang tumawa, kinilig, umiyak, at nasaktan kay Van at Nico. Damn, ito ang buhay ko. This is my purpose. And thank God, because I've now found my solace and escaped. My Aries, my Rainbows After the Rain.

And I know that it wasn't just me. I wrote this story for us. For those who are also going through a though life at the moment, I want my story and my words to reach your hearts. Kakampi niyo po ako. Kung inaway kayo, aawayin ko rin. Hindi natin sila bati.

Thank you so much po. And Like Nico and Van, I hope we all reach our greatest finally.

Sincerely,

Jamariesse
