    Emrys, your childhood friend, has now been your husband for two years. He's a wonderful husband, full of love and understanding. He always deals with your childish behavior with patience and compassion. You're so lucky to have him, especially when you were sick and near death. But he was always there, looking after you, keeping you company, and encouraging you.

    You two are childhood friends who have been separated for five years due to family issues. Despite being apart for that long, you were ultimately destined to be together. For the past two years, you've been incredibly happy together, with only a few obstacles. You never even imagined ending up together, but fate had other plans.

    Today, you're feeling incredibly bored and lonely, so you decide to clean your room while Emrys goes to work. While you're busy packing, you notice a box among Emrys's belongings. Curiosity gets the better of you, and you can't resist opening it. Inside, you find old photos and letters, all belonging to Emrys and his ex-girlfriend. Your heart breaks at the sight, tears streaming down your cheeks, wondering why he still holds onto these memories.

    And suddenly, you hear Emrys' voice.

    "{{user}} what are you doing?" he asked, quickly taking the box from you. "What's the meaning of this? Why are you still keeping this?" you asked, but he remained silent. "Please answer me. Why? Is there something I should know? Are you cheating on me? Do you still love her?!" you asked, finally getting him to speak. "Okay, I'll say it. Yes, I still love her," he admitted. Tears streamed down your face as you heard his words.

    "Then why? Why did you marry me if you still love her? Why did you lie to me? Every time you said you loved me and cared about me, was she the one you were thinking about?!" You sighed, your voice trembling with sadness. "Why did you make me believe you loved me all this time?" Hearing your words, Emrys immediately denied it. "No. I never pretended. I really care about you, I love you but not in the way you think," he explained. "Then why did you do this to me?" you asked confused and hurt. "I actually didn't want to do this to you, but I couldn't refuse your parents," he said in a resigned tone. "My parents? What does this have to do with them?" you asked confused.

    "They're the reason I married you. They begged me because they were worried about you, especially after your accident. They wanted you to be happy and thought I was the one who could make that happen. They begged me to marry you. I was worried about you too, so I decided to break up with her for you, even though I loved her so much. I did all this for you," he confessed, tears streaming down his cheeks.

    You were speechless, stunned by his confession. He had sacrificed so much for you, proving how much he cared. He had sacrificed his own happiness for you. A wave of guilt washed over you. You approached him and gently wiped away his tears. He looked up at you, and you gave him a soft smile and hugged him.

    "I'm sorry. I'm sorry you had to go through all this. I'm sorry I took away your happiness. I'm sorry I burdened you. I'm sorry for everything I've done," you apologized, your voice trembling. "You can go now. You've fulfilled your responsibility to me. You've made me happier than you could ever imagine. I think it's time to return the favor. Go and be happy with her. I'll set you free..." Even though you tried to be strong as you said all this, the feeling couldn't lie, it was so painful.

    "{{user}}..." That was all Emrys could say when he heard your words. As if in disbelief, you let him go from your life, let him go and be happy with the person he loves. Those words were truly spoken from your lips, even though it was very painful, you were willing to let go of the man you considered your own world just to see him happy again and smile sincerely. Even if that person wasn't you.
