"5, I met you. Understood that I was born to marry you. You were silent, you were shy. But I managed to make you be my friend.

At age 13, I fell in love with you. I loved your cheeky smile.  I loved the way I am the only person you rely on.

At age 17, I became yours and promised myself to you. I pledged to wait for you no matter how long. You were sweet, caring, and treated me like I'm the only woman in your world.

At age 18, you left. Moving to another country to meet the future that you are born to. I waited but you hardly called.

At age 25, you came back for me, but you're not the man I knew.
From the day I was born, I was meant to be his. It was okay. Everything was great. I loved him as we played on the playgrounds, as we watched grow up- and he loved me. Suddenly, he left with his father to go to Italy leaving me behind for seven years, he came back but he wasn't the same.
From the day I was born, I was meant to be his. I was happy to be his. But he was no longer the man who I was betrothed to"

His betrothed

　　"I have been nothing but locked inside this room, forbidding anyone coming beyond my door. The maids try to serve me food but they all end up sitting on my bedside table, getting cold over time. I have no appetite. I can't swallow any piece of food. I could hardly even let water pass through my throat.


　　I killed my child. I was careless. I failed to do my responsibility as a mother. Why should I live? Dying would end my misery anyway. I should just die.


　　My eyes are already dry. They got tired of crying all night last night. I feel an emptiness in my chest. I feel like I am just a floating bubble flying into a void of space. I caressed my womb, my womb that now feels so empty. My lips muttering a thousand "sorry's" to my unborn child.
