Almost Is Never Enough

Before One Direction and The X Factor, Zayn Malik was engaged. Yes, at a very young age I must add. But this wasn’t a normal engagement, it was an arranged marriage. Zayn’s father, being Pakistani wanted Zayn to have appropriate, sensible wife. Therefore Zayn’s Dad called his childhood best friend who lived on the other side of the world.

This is where I come in. Arziyan Gill, your typical Australian teenager trying to get into University of Manchester.

Zayn’s Dad, Yaser called my Dad for his son to marry me. Well I obviously said no but what can you do when you live in an Indian/Pakistani household. Soon enough I was engaged to Zayn, the wedding was to come after X Factor.

What I didn’t know was that I would be forgotten and have my heart trampled over by a hoard of migrating buffalo's and then have it put in front of a train going at over 200km per hour.

It’s hard watching someone you love propose to some other girl while you wait at home for him to come back.

We were almost married. If the marriage was sooner we would’ve been together. I guess everyone was right. Almost Is Never Enough.
