You monster! You promised me!”
Promises were only valid when they were made. People would change over time. Jack’s change of attitude toward me started
when Sandra appeared.
Jack and I went to the same university. We got engaged upon Albert’s request. I thought my happy life was about to start.
That was until we bumped into Sandra, who came from the countryside.
Sandra was my roommate. She was always in a white cotton dress. Even if it looked old and yellow, she still looked clean and tidy.
She told me that her mother left her and her father when she was very young because their family was poor.
Her father was an alcoholic who would hit her when he got drunk..
She was raised by her grandmother.
I also came from a broken family, so I felt sorry for her. I took her wherever I went. That was how she came to know Jack.
Perhaps men would always want to be heroes, saving a damsel in distress.
At that time, I was no longer the damsel who was easily bullied since I had been under his protection for so many years.
So, he turned his heroism toward Sandra. He would secretly give her money and protect her when her drunk father came to school looking for her, asking for money.

All the special treatment he gave me back then had been transferred to Sandra.

Sandra cried in front of me, acting as if she was regretful. She said she did not intend to steal my boyfriend, and Jack volunteered to do those things for her.
I looked out the window with reddened eyes, unsure how to respond. At that moment, our roommates had returned, so we agreed to meet on the hill behind our school at night to talk it out. Sandra then left for her part–time job.
When night came, Sandra did not return. I put on a thin dress before heading out.
The hill behind our school was a quiet spot, much more at night.
There was no one there. It was quite eerie to hear the leaves rustling in the breeze. Just as I was about to call Sandra, a man grabbed me by the neck and pulled me into the woods.
I yelled for Jack, hoping he would arrive like my savior as usual. However, there was no miracle. No matter how I pleaded and begged, the man did not let me go.
After the incident, the man pulled up his pants and tied me up. He sealed my mouth with tape before leaving.
I heard someone coming from a distance. I turned to see Sandra arriving.
The man pounced on Sandra and pulled her to the ground. He tore her shirt open.
Sandra’s first reaction was to yell Jack’s name too.
Finally, Jack arrived.
