After Yasmin shopped at the grocery store, she quickly returned to her home in Kensington. It's noon and the girl comes into the house. As she heads toward the kitchen, her friend Alicia finds herself on the spot, making rice for lunch.

- Finally friend arrived - Alicia said looking at Yasmin - The supermarket was crowded? You took longer than usual.

Yasmin washed his hands and dried on a cloth and opened the bag with groceries removing chicken pieces, cans of tomato sauce and bundle of noodles.

–I was supposed to arrive early, my friend, sure, but you know who I met on the way? Roger's ogre - Yasmin said angrily - He almost ran me over, the damn man almost killed me.

- What? Yasmin, for God's sake, explains to me in detail what happened – Alicia asked curiously.

Yasmin sighed and while preparing the chicken, commented to her friend in detail what had happened and in the end Alicia burst out laughing.

–How long will you and Roger pretend to hate each other? Can't this hate last for a lifetime - said Alicia - All our friends say that and I also ask about you, until when?

- I hate Roger with all my strength and surely this hatred comes from other lives - Said Yasmin seasoning the chicken - I do not resent our friends, my brother especially like Roger so much.

- Yasmin, my friend, please, I think it's time to get over everything that happened in the past - said Alicia - You were younger and ...

- Overcome? There is nothing to be overcome, Alicia, what just confirms how Roger has always been an ogre with me since we lived in Truro – said Yasmin thoughtfully – But he will pay dearly for everything he has done to me 

– Don't be vindictive, my friend – said Alicia.

Alicia and Yasmin continued to prepare lunch and quickly changed the subject. But what happened to make Yasmin so angry at Roger? For that we will have to go back in time. Are you ready?
