Eirlys Williams is the child of misfortune. That’s what people always labeled her. 

Her abusive father killed her mother due to her infidelity with another man, creating a permanent scar in her heart. People come and go in her life, but she remains in the same place, with her indelible trauma.

"You deserve to be beaten! Who made you a child born from a murderer and a sl*t?!"

"Your existence itself is a sin!"

"Do us a favor and go die!"

She shuts her heart to deflect the pain, hurt, and sadness that constantly following her. However, to shut one's pain, means one also shut their happiness. Constant abuse throughout the years has made the girl's heart grow cold and numb. 

However, her brief encounters with the Gardners sparks a new page in her life. 

"That's very kind of you. But then, I will be worried if you go home alone."

"Don't be so reckless next time! You are a girl!"

"Big sister, please become my wife in the future!"

She could slowly feel all of her emotions coming back to her heart. The pain, joy, sadness, hope, anger, awe, and even love. This time, she vows to protect her heart with all her might. 

However, the Gardners have secrets they don't want other people to know. A secret that could put Eirlys in danger. Can Eirlys overcome the hardship that comes from regaining her emotions back?

This is a story of an adolescent girl, trying to find a place where she belongs.

Until Fate Break Us Apart

I stood beside Aslan as we waited for the set to be completed. Then, the director called us.

We bob our heads, then the director told us to get into the set. Aslan walked with confidence, while I trotted behind him anxiously. I was fine just a moment ago, yet when the time came, it was nerve-wracking. Various gazes fell upon us, and the pressure made my leg weaken. Not to mention, it was hard to walk using oversize shoes.

"Alright. Aslan can sit down on the sofa first. Be as disinterested as possible." I could hear the director giving us direction. Aslan did as told and sat with an indifferent and poised look. If I didn't know better, I would have thought this was someone else.

"Miss Eirlys, please put one of your knees beside him. Make it look like you were trying to straddle him."

I choked on my saliva and coughed heavily.

What? Weren't we going to have a normal photoshoot?
