realize that I still want to find Maria. I want to Mary and talk to her, I
explained everything. Our relationship ended, but we still remain friends.

so many places and countries just to find her. But I never see her.

 "In the End, we only regret the chances we didn't take “

given a chance to talk to this girl . He even encountered her couple of times
but so their status was not total strange at all . But when the war came out .
He didn't take the chance to protect her and her uncle . He even ask her
where to go even though he already know that they were nowhere to go . He
leave her like was nothing in between them . Then after that incident he
realized to go to that apartment but she already gone . He regretted to not
taking the chance to asking her to come with him and be safe .

11. PLOT TYPE
 Dramatic or Progressive Plot
This is a chronological structure which first establishes the
setting and conflict, then follows the rising action through to a
climax and concludes with a denouement.

12. PLOT DEVICES
 Foreshadowing
The story is in advance sign or warning of what is to come in
the future. The author of a story might use foreshadowing in
an early chapter of our book to give readers an inkling of an
impending murder. We want to let people know about an event
that is yet to occur so they need to use foreshadowing.

13. POINT OF VIEW
 1st person
• Felix is the author and he used a pronoun I. It means
that the author tells his own story.
