My life has been full of sorrows since childhood, and I never thought anything would change until he found me.He came to me like the hero in books, saving the girl from all the unsaid things she suffered.

He saved me from a life of darkness, giving me a new light to follow. He showed me what it meant to be loved and cared for, and I will forever be grateful for his presence in my life.

As Rumi wrote in his collection 'The Essential Rumi,'. 'The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.' This quote captures the same emotion I felt when he found me and saved me from my sorrows."

Part 1 - MY MISERIES.

My name is Hana Ryu I was born into the Ryu family as their only daughter, but I was never accepted as one. They fought in front of me, calling me a mistake. My grandmother revealed to me that my parents knew they would never love each other, yet they decided to bring me into this world and make it worse for me.

They never threatened me directly, but since the beginning, I've lived according to their wishes. I've never made demands nor expected anything good. I attend a low-class school where I only receive basic knowledge and eat only what's required to keep me alive.

For me, reading was more than just a hobby - it was an escape. It was a way to enter a world of delusion, where I could forget about the problems and struggles of my reality. The books I read were full of fantasies, words of affirmation, and love - all the things I lacked in my day-to-day life.

I found solace in visiting a book library, where I could read books free of cost. The owner knew me for a long time and allowed me to stay as long as I wanted. I felt safe and comfortable there, surrounded by the smell of old books and the sound of pages turning. It was my own little world, where I could lose myself in a good book and forget about everything else.

Despite how much I loved reading, I didn't want to take the books home or show my family my passion for reading because I feared they would make me stop. I didn't want anyone to take away the one thing that brought me joy and happiness.

Reading become more than just an escape for me by time - it was a way to enter a world of endless possibilities. With each book, I was transported to a new place, a new time, and a new adventure. I could be anyone and go anywhere, and that was the magic of reading. It was my passion, my solace, and my refuge, and I treasured every moment I spent lost in a good book.

Then one day....(to be continued)
