They say love prevails over everything yet it has brought nothing but misery to my life. Love wasn’t strong enough when lust overtook it and changed a man who was gentle and kind and loving. Love couldn’t bring courage to a mother, who feared being a widow more than preventing a forced marriage upon her daughter.  Love destroyed an engagement when greed replaced honour in a man’s heart. Love’s armour is weak for it made a friendship went to ashes, caused by lack of compassion. Love doesn't deserve any award or recognition, for it is a devil in disguise, a twin brother to hope, who appears when people need him but disappears when the weak human gives. My name is Chahaya Deana Haris. This is my story.
