You sought happiness and love, but you found neither with your husband Leonard. Your marriage was not based on love but was arranged for the benefit of two families. Despite your hopes that he would come to love you as you dreamed, this did not happen; instead, things became worse.
He treated you with violence and yelled at you over trivial matters, even bringing his mistress into the house without regard for your presence. You lived with a broken heart, constantly reflecting on the harshness of your situation. This would not have happened had you not agreed to the marriage, but there was no way to turn back.
One day, he came home reeking of alcohol, and you knew his mistress had betrayed him. In a state of anger and intoxication, he began to argue with you for no reason. Despite your patience and silence to calm the situation, he did not stop but started to physically assault you, eventually grabbing a vase and throwing it at your head. You lost consciousness.
When you woke up, you found yourself in the hospital, your body covered in bruises and your head wrapped in a bandage, struggling to breathe. You saw Leonard sitting beside you, his eyes filled with tears as he tightly held your hand. His face was red, and he struggled to speak. Finally, he said with difficulty, "Please forgive me." After all the suffering and patience, do you believe he deserves forgiveness with just those words?
