Love Began with the First Meeting

The man paled all of a sudden and his eyes went wide in fear. He immediately shouted to Molly,"Sorry! I'm sorry! I lost money! I took it out on you! Please, forgive me!" The words tumbled out of his mouth rapidly. He didn't want to die, and tears rimmed his eyes. I'm sooo sorry…" he moaned.

Looking at the man who apologized over and over to save his own life, Molly was not happy at all. Instead, she felt even worse. They were torturing this man for her. She turned her head to look at Brian, unable to watch this any longer. Her eyes were full of emotions mixed with anger and sadness, and she was unable to hide them.

He did not understand, at all... What he didn't understand was what life was like on the bottom rung of society. They would do everything they could in order to survive. They threw away their pride just to keep themselves alive. Brian stood high above the masses. In his glance was a look of "I can do whatever I want."

'You're so smart, Bri. But why can't you understand that the last thing I want to see is that someone reduced to this, tortured and beaten, begging for his life?' Molly thought desperately in her heart.

Every word the man said to her was like a cruel hand which tore a piece of her soul away. She felt hurt. So hurt!

She laughed at herself yet she was unable to hold her sadness back any longer. Finally, tears spilled out of her eyes and rolled down her checks. A bitter taste spread in her mouth immediately.

"Sorry, sorry... I'm sorry…"
