7th February 2012 started off blissfully for me. I was unaware of the events of 6th February and the terrible events that were unfolding when I woke up. My husband and I were on our honeymoon - news obviously was not the priority. We got married on the 3rd of February, had our wedding reception on the 4th and left to Dhunikolhu resort on the 5th. We had been planning to stay there for four days and leave to Malaysia.
We knew there was some tension in Male. There were protests and we had seen some violence as well. But we could never fathom things...
