I have lost hope, Laila. I am scared of everyone around me. I have this weird impression that they are all carrying daggers hidden somewhere deep down there and they will cut me at the first opportunity they will get. Ayman said while dabbing her tears.

You have got it all wrong, You know what's the most romantic thing about any relationship?

I guess getting out of it without bruises. Ayman smiled.

The most romantic thing about any relationship is 'The Trust', If your partner walks into Lions Den, you walk along. Then after fighting and slaying the beast you both sit down bathed in blood, wounded and bruised. You nurse each other's wounds, you caress the cut and bruises for they are the shared trophies. You laugh at the adventure. And that laugh is the epitome of romance. You see, relationships do not just happen, it's an art. You make mistakes and you learn from them until eventually, you perfect the skill and that is when you are perfectly in a position to create The perfect peice of Artwork.
