I could remember that dreadful first day when Jamal and his brother Salim was running away from these intruders and called out to me to run, so when they were running I ran with them even though I was a slow runner. Jamal was talking about us three being like the three Musketeers and that I was the third one. We became great friends Jamal, Salim and I but I mostly hanged out with Jamal he was so kind so sweet, until we were growing up that we were separated but then managed to meet again at random times and I never told him that I liked him and I never knew that I was falling for him, but I was but I didn’t showed it even though I cared for him. When we were all grown up I could remember him telling me to meet him at the train station and that every day at 5:00 he would wait for me and now he will be waiting for me down the aisle cause today is our wedding day, I was wearing this most gorgeous wedding dress and I was very pretty and couldn’t believe that this is my wedding day. It will be the best day of my life because I’m gonna be with the man who was my friend now lover and soon husband, I looked into the long tall mirror looking at how beautiful I was until I turned my face until I saw the scar I had when I saw Jamal at the train station for the first time when he told me that he would wait for me and that I got punished for what happened on that day.

 *Flashback* there were a lot of people at the train station and I was trying hard to look for Jamal, until I heard my name being called it sounded familiar but still I was confused and scared and wondered who was calling my name. Until I looked up and saw him I was walking towards him until he shouted out my name and pointed behind me  I then stopped and turned around and there I saw Salim with his crew running towards me I was scared and ran across onto a train then out and called out for Jamal “ JAMAL!!!” I screamed and ran into the other train but Salim had caught me and pulled my hair I was nearly in tears I was trying to see where Jamal was and knew he would be trying to get to me when I was forced into the car Jamal came out and I was banging on the window until my master had a knife and cut the side of my face I then held it and banged again on the window when Jamal was at the window he called my name and banged the window too to get to me but then we drove off and he was standing there and didn’t know what to do. * End of flashback
