Uri didn't know a slight difference to her could cause this trouble until the day she was told about force marriage. Living in a Syrian town, Salma, she was a kind, polite, happy-go-lucky 22 year old. The only difference was that she loved a girl and in the hope of her parents support and their permission, she told her parents about it. Unlike what she was expecting,  her mom fainted and Uri was locked up in her room.

Droplets of sweat started to fall and she tried to open the window but it wouldn't surrender. She kept on walking around her room, trying to settle everything in her mind. However, the more she thought about it, the more complicated it got. She found her pillow soaked up with her tears and noticed that she was crying. She was confused, hatred grew on her parents, but mostly to herself. With growling stomach and desert like throat, she spent 3 days in her unventilated room and right before she was going to faint, her parents came into her room and told her to shower and get ready to go out.

She was so happy, thinking they're going out to meet her girlfriend, but that happiness didn't last for long. She overheard her parents talking about arranged marriage with a 12 years older man and that it's going to take place in 3 days. She was so shocked and didn't want to believe the reality since she had no idea about this. The arrangement had been made even before she was born, in exchange with money to pay for her family's loans. She was frozen there for few seconds but quickly started thinking about her plans. The first part of the plan that had to happen as soon as possible was to get out of this house and she knew that the family of the groom will definitely look for her so she needed to go to a place where they can't find her in a short period of time.

She jumped out of her window with all her savings, not giving attention to the risk, but to save her life from being stuck with someone who she doesn't want. The first place that came across her mind was the UK, as she heard that it is a very opened country. Without hesitation, she left a text message to her girlfriend, saying she's going to find a way to solve this problem and booked the earliest flight ticket available.

At the same time, in Iraq, another girl called Mia was trying hard to save her life, too. She was from a Christian family, and she was very religious as she had been suffering from a disease called haemophilia. It didn't have any cure and she was devastated, but after she heard a miraculous news from her neighbour that her cancer was cured after going to the church everyday and after completing the lent, church was like everything to her. It was a stray of hope to her and she started thinking the only cure is the god.

Mia's family was spending sweet, relaxing, comfortable time together until a group of Muslim extremists came and kidnapped them in a split second. They were tied up and were locked in a room. When the guard went out, Mia found out that her rope wasn't tied tight enough. She untied it and untied other family members' as well. Luckily, the guard forgot to lock the gate, so they could get out. They were excited and happy that they could escape, but everything changed when the guards came back. They were shooting at them, and Mia's family was trying to climb up the wall. 'Bang', her mother fell, 'bang', her brother fell, and it was only her and her dad who managed to climb up the wall. The only thing they had left was to jump down the wall, and there was another gun shot, and she saw her dad falling down, in a slow motion. She felt her heart breaking down, but she had no choice, but to run away as far as she could.

She hid behind the trees in the forest near that place, and luckily, the kidnappers ran the other way to chase her. She ran to a bank, took out all her money and without any hesitation, she went straight to the airport. As she has seen a movie about a nun in UK and her dream was to be a nun, she booked for the nearest flight to the UK.

The airport was where Mia and Uri met. Coincidently, they sat next to each other. As it was a long trip, they had long conversations and when they found out that they were in a similar situation, they decided to stay together. They got really close in that short period of time since they shared similar concerns, and it was their first time talking to someone who actually understood them. Mia, especially appreciated meeting her and considered Mia as her family as she didn't have any family members left. Uri was the only person who Mia could depend on.

They reached the UK safely and they were sent to the homes made for refugees. They got on a bus to go to that place, and heard a woman screaming saying her purse disappeared. Mia and Uri could feel all eyes were on them, when they don't even know how it looks like. They insisted, but soon, the police came they were sent to the police station.          

They asked Mia and Uri about the incident, but they couldn't answer as they weren't the culprits. After few hours, they were sent back as there was no evidence that represented them as criminals. After these vicissitudes, they finally reached the refugee camp and they were briefed about how to claim asylum in the UK and they thought their lives would be smooth after it without knowing what's coming for them. They were happy even though there were rats running around and spider webs every corner, just because they weren't in their country.

When the sun rose again in that filthy room, they went to the embassy to sign for the asylum. There was an immense line starting from the entrance reaching the next building. They spent the whole day waiting, and when it was their turn, they were told to go back since the embassy was closing. They were disappointed, but stayed positive as it was their first time there.

Their way back felt different to what they saw in the morning. The trees were swaying leaving huge gloomy shadows, the sound of bird chirping also sounded dismal, and they could hear some footsteps chasing after them. They tried to run to a place with more people and started running. However, just when they started running, a hand pulled them. They started screaming and tried to run away from him, but was taken away to a quiet road where no one passed by.

As there was a ray of light, they could check the person's face, and Uri couldn't close her mouth in shock because the person was the fiance of Uri, who she ran away from. She never thought she would meet him again and was hoping not to. Mia was confused since she didn't know him, but was able to find out easily by looking at Uri's expressions and went closer to Uri.

Sami, the name of Uri's unwanted fiance left Salma to get Uri back 1 week after Uri left. People were talking about how incompetence he was, losing his own fiance. He couldn't stand his pride getting hurt and promised himself and his parents that he was going to get Uri back, hoping that would restore people's respect towards him. He was irritated when it was not easy to find Uri and was ready to do anything if she wouldn't listen to his commands. He predicted that Uri would go to the embassy and waited there for few days and luckily found her on the second day of his stake out. He was full equipped with weapons to threaten her incase she didn't  want to go back with him.

Only a weird loud laugh of Sami resonated and two girls were shaking in fear, Mia just rubbing her rosary. Sami was so happy that he finally found her and he will be respected again. He tried to drag Uri away from Mia and reported that she had to go back with him, but Uri resisted, and Mia pulled Uri back. That caused Sami's anger. He began to shout that she had to go back to Salma, and she doesn't have any choice, no matter how hard she tried. Uri would have just followed him if she was like how she was in the past, but it wasn't the old Uri anymore. She screamed saying that she's never going to go back and this triggered the disaster. Sami was so annoyed and he took out a small blade and threatened Uri to come with him. He swung the blade and heard Uri scream, but saw Mia lying on the ground. Unstoppable blood started to flow from Mia's neck and it was worse since she had hemophilia. Sami was flustered and immediately ran away.

Uri didn't know what to do and it was Mia who tried to calm her down. Mia thanked Uri for being the first ever friend to accept her as she is, not caring about her religion. She also added that she doesn't regret what she did because she wouldn't mind sacrificing herself for her best friend. Her last words were ' I hope you can achieve what you want to do and be without any turbulence, have a great life so that when we meet again, I can thank you for achieving my dream. Your dream is my dream, so make sure you achieve it. Thank you so much and love you..'

Uri couldn't stop crying until a photographer called Josh came and asked her what was wrong. He was a photographer who took photos of the sky at night. He was taking beautiful view of the night sky like any other day, and heard some people quarrelling and crying. He was curious and approached to a young girl who was crying. He was shocked to find a girl lying down bleeding, and immediately called an ambulance.

Unfortunately, it was too late to save Mia. She couldn't even have a proper funeral since she didn't have any money nor she had friends that could come and sorrow. Mia was buried silently with her rosary that she always carried with her and her luggage which was mostly books and bibles. Josh came to her burial and was willing to help Uri. It was a quiet, sad burial with Uri's cries echoing.

With Josh's help, Uri managed to report this case to the police, giving the photo that Josh took as the evidence. Since she wasn't the citizen, they could only           and said that the case is going to be sent back to her hometown if she can't redeem her asylum in a month. Uri was devastated, but Josh had an idea. Since Uri always kept her diary and wrote everything down, he thought posting it on a portal site will raise awareness for claiming asylum and the situation these days.

Luckily, Josh had a lot of followers and the news was spread quickly and people sorrowed Mia's death and soon, Mia's grave was full with flowers that were given by the visitors. This story went into the Catholic Diocesan of London and Mia and her family were given the title of martyr.
