Honeymoon in Bali

Summary

To pay for my boyfriend’s heart condition, I scrimped and saved, refusing to even buy medicine when I was sick.

I worked eight different jobs a day, pushing myself to the point of collapse.

To get the money for his treatments, I signed up for a "Gold Rush" event at the local mall. I crawled on my hands and knees like a feral dog, desperate to find the tiny gold-painted rice grains that could be exchanged for cash—cash that could save his life.

It wasn't until I went with a staff member to cash in my findings that everything fell apart.
