00:00My name is Anna. I am 32 years old. My life was normal. I had a job, a home, and a husband I loved.
00:13We were together for eight years. I thought we were happy, but I was wrong.
00:19One evening, I was making dinner. I waited for my husband, Daniel, to come home. He was late. He was always late these days. I felt something was wrong, but I didn't want to believe it.
00:38When he finally came home, his face looked serious. He didn't kiss me. He didn't smile. He sat down at the table and looked at me.
00:52We need to talk, he said. My hands started to shake. My heart beat fast. I put the spoon down. My hands were cold. My heart was beating too fast.
01:10What is it? I asked. Daniel looked down. He didn't want to meet my eyes.
01:18I don't love you anymore, he said. His voice was quiet, but his words were loud in my head.
01:28I felt like the floor disappeared under me. My chest hurt. My throat was dry.
01:37What? I whispered. I'm sorry, Anna, he said. I didn't want to hurt you.
01:45I stared at him. My husband. The man I loved. The man I trusted. And now, he was breaking my heart.
01:57I wanted to ask, why? What did I do? How can you stop loving me? But no words came out.
02:07I met someone else, he continued. It wasn't planned. It just happened.
02:16Tears filled my eyes. My hands turned into fists. It just happened.
02:24No. Love doesn't just happen. Betrayal doesn't just happen.
02:29I stood up. I couldn't sit there anymore. So, what now? I asked. My voice was shaking.
02:41Daniel sighed. I'm leaving. And just like that, my world fell apart.
02:47Daniel packed his bags. I sat on the couch, watching him. My face was wet with tears, but
02:59I didn't wipe them. He took his clothes, his books, his watch. I wanted to scream. I wanted
03:09to throw his things out of the window. I wanted to beg him to stay. But I did nothing.
03:18He stood by the door. I'm really sorry, he said again. I didn't answer. He sighed.
03:29Then, he opened the door and left. I sat there, frozen. I heard his car drive away. I heard
03:39the silence in the house. Then, I broke. I cried. I cried so hard.
03:47I heard that my whole body hurt. I hugged my knees and rocked back and forth. My heart
03:56felt too heavy. My chest felt too tight. I cried until my head hurt. Until my throat
04:05burned. Until I had no more tears left. And then, I sat in the dark, alone. The next morning,
04:16I woke up and forgot for a second. I reached for Daniel's side of the bed. It was empty.
04:24And then, I remembered. Pain hit me again, like a knife in my chest. I got up. I walked around
04:37the house. His things were gone. His smell was gone. But his ghost was everywhere. His empty chair
04:46at the table. His coffee mug in the sink. His slippers near the door. Everywhere I looked, I saw him. But he
04:58wasn't there. I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. My face was pale. My eyes were red.
05:08I didn't. I didn't look like myself. I touched my ring. I couldn't take it off. Not yet. I was alone.
05:20The days after that were the hardest. I stopped eating. Food had no taste. I stopped sleeping.
05:33Every time I closed my eyes, I saw him. At work, I pretended to be fine. I smiled at my co-workers.
05:44I answered emails. But inside, I was broken. People told me, you will be okay. But I didn't
05:55believe them. Nights were the worst. The bed was too big. The silence was too loud. I held my pillow
06:06and cried myself to sleep. Sometimes, I picked up my phone and wanted to text him. But I didn't.
06:14Because I knew. Because I knew. He was with her now. One day, I went to the store. I walked past a coffee
06:25shop. And then, I saw him. Daniel. He was sitting at a table with a woman. She was young. Beautiful. She laughed at
06:37something. He looked happy. My stomach dropped. My hands felt cold. I wanted to run. I wanted
06:50to scream. But I just stood there, watching. Then, he looked up. Our eyes met. For a second,
07:03I saw something in his face. Shock? Guilt? Pity? I didn't wait to find out.
07:13I turned around and walked away. Tears burned in my eyes. But I didn't cry. Not this time.
07:22I walked fast. Then, I ran. I ran until my legs hurt. Until my heart felt like it would
07:35explode. When I got home, I locked the door. I sat on the floor. And finally, I cried.
07:46But this time, the tears felt different. Because I knew. Daniel was gone. And I had to move
07:56on. The next morning, I took off my wedding ring. I made myself breakfast. I drank coffee.
08:06I sat by the window. I sat by the window and watched the sun rise. It still hurt. It would hurt for a long
08:16time. But I wasn't going to let this pain destroy me. One day, I would be happy again. One day,
08:27I would wake up and not think of him first. One day, I would love again. But today, today, I would survive.
