Zoe and Amar Walk Through the Forest

Zoe and Amar strolled slowly through the forest.

Zoe: Aren't these trees around us beautiful?

Amar: (breathing rapidly from fatigue) Yes... they are beautiful.

Zoe: The air is so clean and fresh.

Amar: (pausing by a tree) Yes... Zoe?

Zoe: What's wrong?

Amar: Let's take a break; we can continue after a little rest.

Zoe: What?? We just started!

Amar: Zoe, we've been walking for two hours without stopping. Please, let's rest here.

Zoe: Alright.

After two hours of walking, they settled on a large stone and began chatting.

Amar: You didn't tell me, what kind of surprise are you planning for me?

Zoe: It's a secret!

Amar: A secret? Alright...

Zoe: Amar?

Amar: Yes, Zoe?

Zoe: When we first met in this city, how did you get those wounds?

Amar: I don't want to talk about that...

Zoe: Amar, we've known each other for a long time. Can you share what's bothering you?

Amar: I don't know...

Zoe: Please, I promise I won't tell anyone your secret.

Amar: If you insist, then fine. Just know you might find it hard to believe.

Zoe: Why wouldn't I?

Amar: It's a bit complicated, but I'll try to explain.

Zoe: Okay.

Amar: It all happened one night when I was coming home from a shopping center with my friend. When we got home, we sat down to rest. My friend noticed a red dot on my forehead and told me to duck. I didn't understand what was happening, but when I lowered my head, a bullet whizzed by and hit the wall. Suddenly, we were under attack...

Zoe: Who attacked you?

Amar: Soldiers from the forest started shooting at us. It happened around nine in the evening, and we were ambushed from all sides. I was the main target.

Zoe: A target for what?

Amar: To kill me.

Zoe: Oh God...

Amar: We had some weapons at home, so we defended ourselves.

Zoe: So, you're not part of a gang or anything?

Amar: No! I'm not a gang member.

Zoe: Why did they want to kill you?

Amar: Because I was ruining their plans...

Zoe: What plans?

Amar: I don't know... I'm afraid you might be scared of me if I tell you the truth.
