Two unfortunate individuals suffered a relationship with inadequate genuine love; both shackled by a forever lasting contract bound by marriage, tormented with deception and greed. A perverse husband, who only desired her attractive appearance, satisfied his sexual urges with his wife's fair skin each night; a cruel partner who turned a blind eye to his wife's pleas for true love. A treacherous wife, who craved for her husband's wealth, seduced her husband with her enchanting beauty to hoard every penny she could get her hands on. Such predators their partners were.
A drop of water trickled in a container hidden within the hearts of the miserable souls. Every drop signified the melancholy they constantly endured alone, isolated in their own suffering. The container gradually filled with tears, forming cracks to their fragile hearts. As their false-hearted partners' mischievous deeds persisted, alas, the container was overflowed with mixtures of emotions. However, an unexpected resilience held up the flood, living their daily lives balancing a cup of sadness while crossing a tightrope. One day, the strength in their legs gave out. Falling from the rope, they spilled their emotions and broke their containers.
Enveloped inside the waves of emotions, the sweet whispers of temptation swayed their broken hearts— the invitation of death.
Under the starless evening sky, the sound of waves crashing on the shore lost their course of thought. A woman wearing a white summer dress and tattered sandals glanced to her right; there stood a barefooted man wearing a suit and tie. While they wore different outfits, they wore the same expression. A mysterious feeling told them to smile at each other. From that single greeting, their thoughts crossed paths; it was fate for them to meet. They held their shivering hands together as they took a step at the same time on the water. Gradually approaching the ocean, they submerged themselves into the flood of their own emotions.
