Said

My name is Said and I'm 23 years old. I'm a tall Chechen: 195 cm tall and weigh 115 kg. I have dark hair, bright blue eyes, an expressive gaze, a straight nose, dimples, and a small beard. I have an athletic, toned body and go to the gym regularly.

I'm the life of the party: brave, strong, up for any kind of trouble, but also caring, sensitive, and very jealous. I love walking, dancing the lezginka, playing the guitar, working, and playing sports. Religion plays an important part of my life: I pray, read the Quran, and go to the mosque.

I am a Chechen... and she is an Ingush, the one who turned my head in a matter of seconds.

One day she came to Grozny with her friends. My friend and I were sitting on a bench on the boulevard, and that's when I first saw her. Her dress suited her perfectly, she had a light gait, a beautiful laugh, a beautiful voice... I went up to her and asked for her phone number, but she refused. This refusal only fueled my interest.

After that, I never stopped trying to meet her. I dreamed about her every day, and if I saw other guys approaching her, I made sure they left her alone. I gave her flowers, small gifts, and tried to show my feelings through my actions, but she remained cold and kept her distance.

A month later, I saw her again in Grozny. Then I met her in Ingushetia. Then again. And when fate brought us together for the seventh time, I realized I didn't want to lose her again. It seemed to me that such meetings were never accidental.

Without thinking, I called my parents and told them that I would bring the bride today according to an old custom. They were very happy, because I am the eldest son, and they had long dreamed of seeing me married.

My two brothers and I brought her to our home. She cried, screamed, begged us to let her go. I felt a knot in my stomach, but I was sure I was doing the right thing. Relatives and neighbors had already gathered at the house. There she became quieter, although she was still shaking and couldn't hold back her tears. My mother immediately went to her and hugged her tightly, but upon seeing her condition, she immediately realized what was happening...
