Those words welcomed me when I entered my boutique store. Today, I'll be having an appointment with my highschool best friend, Anne, because she's going to fit her wedding gown that was of course, made by yours truly.

I sat at the swivel chair checking some of my documents and scrolled at my social media account. Anne's status was the first post to be seen at my feed so I read it.

"At last! I'm already engaged with the man I love," it says. I am about to view the comments when a knock on my door interrupted me.

"Miss Sky, Miss Anne is already outside. Should I let her in?" my secretary asked. I nodded of approval so she closes the door but eventually opens it with Anne following her behind. I stood up from my chair to welcome Anne. We kissed our both cheeks before inviting her to sit with me at the sofa while my secretary got out of the office.

"What a miracle—you had gotten a boyfriend," I addressed which made us both laugh.

"Yeah, it's really hard having this face." I laughed at her cocky reply.

I missed this.

Our conversation went on until we moved on to the fitting of the gown. She was very beautiful in her dress and I already imagined her walking at the aisle and making her groom teary eyed. After fitting, she got out of the fitting room.

"So, how was it? Isn't it too loose or too tight?"

"No, it's perfectly made! Thanks to you, Sky. You're really the best." She hugs me tight and it made me smile. Suddenly, a phone rings and it turns out that it was Anne's. "Oh, Jed is telling me if he can fetch me here. Is it alright?"

"Yeah, no problem," I replied. She taps something on her phone then minutes later, a knock at the door was heard before it was opened.

His groom-to-be entered the room with the assistance of my secretary. As our eyes met, a set of memories flashed in my mind. Happiness, excitement and sorrow. Nevertheless of my reminiscing, I let Anne show the picture of her wedding gown which he, complimented. While Anne is talking with my secretary, Jed and I had a small chat.

"It's been a long time," he started.

I gave him a small smile. "Yeah, it really is."

"Maybe you're the one choosing a gown right now if—" Jed was cut off by Anne.

"Let's go?" Anne smiled at us then clings to Jed's arms. I smiled back and accompanied them to the door, staring at their back while walking away, smiling happily. Yeah, you're right Jed. Maybe I'm the one choosing my gown right now if it wasn't for my decision.

Love is really painful and it's true that without pain, love is not there too, but sometimes there are things that you need to prioritize before love and for me, that's my dream, my career.

I chose to leave him and be happy with someone else than being with me who does not put him first. Then, Anne entered his life and maybe, we're really not meant to be because there are things that will be taken away from you if it's not for you.

Though painful, I still felt happy and contented with my decision and the result. If it hadn't been because of our breakup, there's no Miss Sky, no boutique, and no success that's why I'm happy for him—for both of them. I'm also thankful for Anne because she that made Jed see the light when I left him in the vast darkness.

I smiled. Yes, I maybe broken but because of that heartbreak, I had reached my dream and success. I became independent and stronger than before. I went to the nearby mirror and stared at myself.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAzSvgsRKy8C
Yes, I am broken. I am beautifully broken.
