I was raised in a family where children should obey their parents. I was a kind of child who everyone loved, but one day, I defied my parents. I was young, beautiful, just turned 18 years old; I fell in love for the first time. I didn't want to listen to anybody, even my parents, that I loved so much and the other person also loved me the same way. There was a place in my country where nobody should go and I never knew why. One day, my boyfriend, our friends and I decided to go there to know why nobody wanted to go there. We planned the day and the place where everyone should see. My parents suspected me and asked me if I had an intention to go there. I said "NO", of course, because I didn't want my friends to treat me like, uh, a person, who's afraid of everything. Before i stepped out, my mother told me, "listen to your heart before you do something." I would like to go back, but every time I thought of what they were going to call me, I refused to go back and I went. The place was nice outside but it was different inside. We found a lot of dead bodies and so many bad things. Immediately I went back to the car, cause I was afraid so afraid, but my friends were still inside. A few minutes later, some of them came blind and the rest of them didn't come outside.
I was so shocked that I couldn't say a word for 8 months, and even today, nobody knows what happened to the rest of us.
