Another regular morning appears with gracefulness in the house of Harbor. A girl is sleeping on her bed. She frowns when the sunshine of the beautiful morning touches her eyelids. She slowly opens her eyes. The sunlight hits directly on her pupils. She closed her eyes once again...

" Good morning, Alisha Harbor"

A lady at her 50, removes the curtains from the window and wishes her a good morning with a soft kiss on her cheek. Alisha Harbor is one of the twin daughters of the Harbor couple. The Harbor has a reputation in the high society because of its successful mining company...

" Morning, Mom."

She gives a cheeky full smile while rubbing her beautiful eyes. Mrs Harbor fixed her pajamas what was sliding down her shoulder.

" Get off the bed. Hurry up. Did you forget today your sister's fiance is coming back from abroad"

Her mother rearranged the bed in a rush. But Alisha stopped her movements. She slowly turns to her mother who is making her bed...

" Is brother Jacob coming back?"

She gulps down her sadness, trying to smile. She can't let her Mom find out her little secret.

" Yes. His birthday is approaching. So We decided to talk about their engagement as soon as possible. We don't know when Alissa will be getting days off. So It's perfect for them to get engaged. Later we will fix a date for their wedding"

Her Mom spoke but Alisha didn't give any attention. A painful sting sensation quivers her inside. Her heart felt like shrinking Deep down inside and she knew she didn't have any chance of finding the shore of the deep ocean.

Jacob Williamson is her first love. They used to be neighbors. Alisha and Alissa have been good friends since their birth. They are identical twins and have the same face. But Alisha is a soft girl with a kind heart while Alissa is a little sassy and intelligent.

So from the beginning, Jacob became the twin's best friend being attracted by Alissa's sassiness. On the other hand, Alisha was never able to socialize with someone new, But Jacob helped her to get close to other people. As a result, the little Jacob became a special person to Alisha.

The twin grew up with Jacob from time to time. They were in love without knowing that Jacob had already chosen one from them.

And the most unfortunate day came when they had to bid farewell to Jacob who needed to leave the country with his parents. But Before leaving, His parents asked their parents to give Alissa as their daughter-in-law since Jacob loves her.

The little heart of Alisha felt sad but never envied her sister. She is happy for her sister. She is happy that her sister was able to make her loved one love her back. She blames herself for not being perfect for Jacob. He deserves someone better like her own sister, Alissa Harbor.

" Mom. Do I have to attend the dinner? I have to go to my studio"

Alisha couldn't help but give an excuse to escape from this agony. No matter how much she loves her sister it's really painful to see someone you love smiling at someone else. She doesn't want to experience it anymore.

" What do you mean? This is an important day for your sister. You should know that Alissa will be angry if you leave"

Her mom insisted but she didn't want to face Jacob no matter what.

" But Mom.. I,-"

Her words were cut off by their maid when she opened the door and panting heavily.

" What's going on, Mrs June?"

Mrs. Harbor walks towards her with a frown on her forehead. Normally their servants are well-behaved..

" Ms Alissa left the house. She said she would like to chase her dream first. She will get married to Mr.Jacob later.."

Mrs. Harbor looks at the piece of paper where Alissa wrote down everything. Some creases appear on her forehead. Not because her daughter ran away but because she has to face her distinguished guests. She hates lying. But She can't say that her daughter ran away. It will affect their reputation badly.
