In a world torn by war, division, and conflict, love can seem like an elusive and impossible notion.
However, sometimes, love and fate find their ways to intertwine, leading to unexpected and
bittersweet pairings. Amina and William , two souls destined to meet and to love in an atmosphere
tainted by loss, tragedy, and sorrow.

With the war raging on around her, Amina found herself amidst the chaos and tragedy, doing
everything possible to help her people to safety. Despite the danger and fear, she stubbornly prevailed
in her efforts to ensure safety for her people, doing all she could to protect them from the war and its
destruction.

William was drawn to Amina’s bravery and determination. However, he wasn't simply admiring her. In
fact, he was following her in order to capture her and her people. As Amina led her people to safety,
William continued to pursue her, plotting his trap and carefully awaiting the perfect chance to strike.
With her senses on edge from the horrors of war, Amina heard footsteps approaching with increasing
volume. She quickly grabbed the closest weapon within reach and spun around to face the source. She
spotted William lurking in the shadows, creeping ever closer to her with a sinister intent. Without
hesitation, she levelled the weapon at him, a warning in her eyes not to take another step. A dramatic
face-off between the two opposing forces.

The moment their eyes met, it was like a sudden explosion of a flood of memories and emotions from
their past life, a lifetime ago. They recalled the days when they were just mere soldiers in the army,
fighting side by side and believing in a world of endless possibilities. Those memories that seemed so
distant now came rushing back to their minds' eye, as the recognition of each other's faces hit them
like an avalanche. It was as if they had a soul connection, despite all the years passed.

“Bang”

As the gunshot wound pierced her heart, her entire frame went limp, and there was a deathly silence.
He watched in horror as the life drained from her eyes with every passing moment, her gaze forever
locked onto his own. The silence was like a void of unimaginable pain. He could see her lips move
quietly, as she breathed her last, barely audible last words "Save my people habibi" William caught her
limp body in his arms, his arms trembling and his own breathing becoming erratic. In that moment, his
whole world collapsed.

He failed to save her, and the image of her last moments played in his mind like a broken record on a
loop.
