She was not going to live her "sisters'" destiny. If she was sure about only one thing in this world, that was it.
She had left her life in Afghanistan two years ago. She had had enough. She wanted a brand new life with everything behind. Her fiance who drove her crazy with a reasonless jealousy made her take this decision even more quickly. She was not born to live a life that was not her own. She was different.

He made her get engaged to another prestigious man. Men cooperation! She didn't have a one-word-right on her life. When he heard about the news...
She didn't give it a damn. She started packing.
