Love is essential and important part of our everyday life. We love for reasons best known to us and we go extra mile to do things for the ones we love.

In conclusion, I have learned to trust nobody or disclose my secret to anyone to avoid putting myself into trouble as Bisclavret. Also, I will go an extra mile and be successful in life as done by Tristan in the
