🌙 Chapter 3: Love in Silence
Soon, they began meeting regularly.
By the lakeside tea stalls, the old bookstores, under the soft evening lights—the city became the canvas for their growing story.
Maria spoke of the open skies of her village.
Ariyan spoke of the silent nights of the city.
One day, by the lakeside, Maria said,
"Being next to you makes the city feel smaller."
Ariyan realized that love could exist even without spoken words. In their shared silence, their hearts understood each other.
