I was in seventh heaven in those beautiful days when I got married to the love of my life.
We were so deeply in love with each other that our bond was unbreakable.
The love between us was so strong that we used to complete each other's sentences.
In a close-knit community where tradition matters, a devoted husband sensed his wife drifting towards another man.
He tried to understand her feelings through shared moments and deep conversations.
He wore a traditional cap, indicating his commitment to cultural values.
The wife wore a hijab, symbolizing her modesty and respect for her faith.
They sat together, holding hands, representing their desire for understanding and reconciliation.
In a beautifully decorated room, they had romantic conversations, sharing their thoughts and feelings.
The husband listened attentively to the wife's words, showing his care and concern for her emotions.
The wife expressed her thoughts freely, feeling comfortable with her loving husband.
They laughed together, enjoying each other's company.
In a beautifully set table outside, they had romantic dinners under the stars.
The husband fed the wife, showing his love and care for her.
They gazed into each other's eyes, feeling emotionally connected.
In a quiet and peaceful environment, the husband sang songs to his wife, trying to win her heart.
The wife listened attentively to his songs, feeling touched by his efforts.
The husband recited poetry to his wife, expressing his intense emotions.
The wife listened to his poetry, feeling moved by his words.
The husband took his wife out for long drives, spending quality time together.
I packed our old wicker basket with her favorite foods - the spicy samosas she loved, fresh fruit, and the special chai tea I learned to make from her mother.
As I arranged everything carefully, I noticed her checking her phone again and again, probably messaging him.
When we reached the park, I chose a quiet spot under a maple tree and spread out the red checkered blanket we used on our first date.
She sat down reluctantly, maintaining a distance between us.
I poured the tea into ceramic cups, my hands trembling slightly.
"Why do you keep looking at your phone, Amina?" he asked softly, trying to mask the hurt in his voice.
She hesitated, then sighed deeply, "I just... I feel like I'm losing myself, and he's been helping me find who I am."
His heart sank as he replied, "But can't we find that together, like we always have?"
She looked away, her eyes welling up.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what to say."
I watched her staring at her phone again during our weekly movie night.
The screen's glow highlighted her distracted expression.
I suggested watching her favorite romantic comedy, and she nodded half-heartedly.
Halfway through the film, I paused it and brought out the special dessert I had prepared - the same baklava recipe we had on our wedding day.
The honey-sweet aroma filled our living room.
She looked up from her phone, surprised.
I placed the plate between us on the couch, remembering how we used to feed each other sweet bites and laugh.
She hesitated for a moment, then set her phone face-down on the coffee table.
