Prologue

She knows she was born into this world alone. At least that's what her parents and science had told her. But sometimes she felt that was completely untrue. How is it possible to be be sent here on this earth without a friend right from the womb?  She knew God was not insensitive and uncaring like that.

She loved her friend. Her dear friend was more real to her than all the faces she saw in school. Her dear friend never left her side. Her Dear Friend knew everything about her. Even at times when she felt like she didn't know herself, there she would find her Dear Friend, reminding her of all the good in her, urging her to keep moving forward.

Why couldn't everyone else see what was so clear to her? Why did she feel like her dear friend was invisible in her world. Some would say she had an imaginary friend and that she'd get over it once she was older. But how could she make them understand? Sometimes she would ignore her Dear Friend for days because she would give in to the words of her elders. Nobody wants to feel like a freak. Maybe it really was all in her head. But she could never stay away for long.
