Here you are, in the usual café, next to your colleagues who can hardly believe the sudden changes that have occurred in you. You used to fill the table with packs of cigarettes and drinking glasses, but here you are, quietly and steadily, contenting yourself with a small cup of coffee and a bottle of water. One colleague, with a sarcastic smile, says: “Is it really you? Where is that rebellious girl who doesn’t refuse our cigarettes or our wine?” You laugh, pick up the water bottle and take a small sip, then reply calmly: “I decided to change. I can live without these things.” However, the truth that no one knows is Ryan's serious threats. Ryan, your roommate, of Algerian descent, who one day caught you red-handed with a pack of cigarettes. He approached you with a serious face, his eyes shining with frightening seriousness, and said in a low voice: “If I see you drinking or smoking again, I will make you the next Eid sacrifice.” Your silence at that moment confirmed to him that you completely understood what he meant. Since that day, whenever you feel like a cigarette or a drink, you remember his words, his firm voice, and that unforgettable look. And now, among your surprised friends, you are smiling and keeping the secret to yourself.
