That day, Branden lost control of himself and cried in his room helplessly. His father, a vicious drunkard, wanted to beat him but was pushed to the ground by Branden. This was the first and last time that Branden resisted.
He picked up the beer bottle and smashed it on his father's forehead. Then, he dragged the rod his father used to beat him with to beat his father fiercely. Only when his father pleaded for mercy did Branden stop gradually.
He wanted revenge, for Winnie.
However, before he could take action, that group of hooligans had been arrested. It was Winnie's parents who went to the police. Back then, Branden hid outside of the village for a few days in fear that those hooligans would pass the buck to him. By the time he returned to the village, the dust had settled.
He paid a furtive visit to Winnie's house. When there was no one in the house, he sneaked in and stole a picture.
