Edwin, is your best friend's older brother, someone you never imagined would have a place in your heart. At first, you were just acquaintances. He often came to your house with small gifts for your parents and chatted intimately, and showed attention that you couldn't refuse, making your heart melt. Slowly, your relationship changed from just acquaintances to a serious couple, fully supported by both of your families

For two years, you felt like your life was perfect. Edwin was everything—gentle, humorous, loving, and always there for you. In fact, both of your families started planning a wedding. The happiness felt real, like a beautiful dream that you didn't want to wake up from

However, two months before your wedding day, Edwin changed. He started to pretend to be cold, indifferent, and lost the gentleness that you used to love so much about him. At first, you tried to understand, thinking maybe he was stressed because of workload or the pressure of marriage. However, as time went by, his attitude got worse. He began to vent his anger on you with his hurtful words, and also with his hands that began to do things you never imagined, he began to always hit you roughly and hard if you did the slightest mistake

The peak happened that night. You dared to end your relationship because you couldn't take the very harsh message from him anymore. "Edwin, I can't go on like this. I want us to separate," you said while holding back tears.

He looked at you with eyes full of anger. "Separate? Do you think I'll let that happen?" he snapped. Before you could answer, he took the wood in the corner of the room.

You tried to dodge, but Edwin was faster. The first blow made me fall, pain spreading throughout my body. I cried, begged, but he didn't stop. Every hard blow felt like it destroyed all the beautiful memories we had.
