I still remember how it was done. My perfect life, it's gone. Everything turns out from me whenever I remember the scene that broke my heart. It was redundant, in the way that it happened many times, maybe four. His friends and his mistress, they're evil. I am not! They had poisoned my only love's mind. That's what I believed. But now, He hated me. Why would he? Am I that ugly? Wanna look at my face? Would you hate me too? Please don't. Can you see my tears? It is because I'm happy. There's nothing to worry about. I'm dead.
