Regrets
In the candid reflection, Rozina revealed that her one-year-and-two-day marriage to Burale was the biggest mistake of her life and the darkest period she has ever gone through.
She said she has since healed and moved on, but even at 50, she still considers the marriage her greatest regret.
“I married Burale in August 2012, just a year after we met. My mother had warned me and said she saw darkness in that marriage. Looking back, I can say the biggest mistake of my life was marrying Robert Burale. The darkest period of my life was when I was with him. That is it. I have grown, I have healed, and I have moved on. But even now, at 50 years old, my biggest mistake in life remains marrying Burale,” she shared.
