When I was a little girl, about 6 years old, my mom once sat me down and said "Rose, never marry a man you love. Always remember, marry the man who loves you." I looked at her with my big round brown eyes all confused and I asked her "why mom, why shouldn't I marry a man whom I love?" She sighed and looked to the side where there was a picture of my dad and her on their wedding day. "Because a woman learns to love a man even if slowly, one step at a time, she learns and she loves but if a man doesn't love a woman from the beginning, he never ever learns to love her and that's how the hearts of a man and a woman work." -------- 15 years later, Rose stood at the balcony of her room stirring a cup of coffee, looking nowhere, completely lost, the words of her mother repeated in her ears again and again. Rose Valentina, at the age of 21 met the man of her dreams. Landon Sinn, a 26 years old businessman, who thought of nothing else but himself and his work. When a girl like Rose Valentina, who longs for a man with gentle aura, who's a fairy tale romantic and has a heart full of love for her meets a man like Landon Sinn who has no time for love, will the storm arise? Will Rose quickly realise that her dreams have actually turned into nightmares? Will Landon ever be loving towards Rose? But when they decided to start a married life together, will they both be able to cope or will one of them end up Stray? RAISA TASNIM © 2021
