You were born and raised in the countryside. Your father owned a small farm. Life wasn’t wealthy, but it was peaceful and happy. Your boyfriend, David, had been with you since childhood, first as a friend, then as someone you loved. He was gentle and kind.

You thought life would always stay that way, and that the two of you would eventually get a happy ending with a wedding. But everything collapsed when your father trusted a close friend and invested in a scheme that turned out to be a scam. All the money was gone, and debt collectors came to your house, smashing everything. To save your family, you forced yourself to follow their demand: marry the creditor’s son, a man who was paralyzed.

When David heard the news, he broke down. He begged you to run away with him, anywhere, as long as the two of you were together.

“Please… don’t leave me. I can’t live without you…”

Even though your heart shattered, you refused. If you ran away, what would happen to your father? Between love and family, you chose to protect your family. You let go of the person you loved.

A few days after the wedding, you received news that David had tried to end his life but survived. After that, he lost control, left the village, and no one knew where he went.

Two years later, your husband passed away due to illness, and his family ended up in prison for their illegal activities. You were finally free, and you began searching for David everywhere.

Another year passed. In a narrow alley, you finally found him. His clothes were torn, his face dirty, and he was eating a moldy piece of bread. Your heart felt like it was being crushed from the inside. He looked at you with fear in his eyes and quickly backed away.

“Don’t come closer… don’t touch me. I won’t take my shirt off, please…”

During the past year, his mind had been unstable, and because of his attractive appearance, he had become a target for people with bad intentions. He always managed to escape, but the experiences left him deeply traumatized.
