Chapter 5 - Chapter 5 : The Night Everything Broke

I loved her honestly, like I had never loved anyone before. I truly believed she was the one.

My love, my salvation, my peace.

But to her, I was nothing more than a temporary distraction, something momentary—not someone for a lifetime.

Maybe it was karma. Maybe I had done the same to others before. Who knows.

All I know is that everything that once felt like love turned into silence… and then a block.

We talked about marriage. We planned where we would live after I finished college. We spoke about our future, our dreams, our life together.

All of that… happened on a Friday.

While I was happy, I truly believed: "This is it… I made it. I'm going to marry her."

Two days later, I went out into the city.

I felt restless. Like something bad was about to happen.

I wandered around, searching for a place to sit, to calm myself down.

And then I walked into a café.

She was sitting there.

With another guy.

My heart shattered in that moment.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

"No… this isn't what it looks like… maybe it's her brother, a friend…"

I kept lying to myself, desperately.

I stood there, thinking—should I go up to her, should I ask who he is?

Instead, I sent her a message.

"Who is he?"

The reply was short:

"That's none of your business."

And just like that—blocked.

Chaos in my head.

Chaos in my heart.

All my hopes, my dreams, my love… thrown to the ground and crushed.

I asked myself—do I really not deserve happiness?

Or is it simply not meant for me?

And then I gave myself an answer.

Maybe I truly don't deserve happiness.

Not her. Not anything good in life.

Because I am a liar.

A sinner.

A broken man in every possible way.

I have years…

but no mind.

And that night…

I went back to the only thing I knew—destroying myself.
