This is a work of fiction. I am not in the construction or engineering field. There might be some unrealistic technicalities but just let it pass, please? xoxo I am publishing this again as I made some adjustments. Enjoy!

A love story between Engfa and Charlotte, starting from their awkward first meeting to building a life together. Through chaos, comedy, sweet moments, and hard choices, they grow from strangers into soulmates. Love does not always have to be perfect. Life rarely is. But it's honest, tender, and full of feeling-built from small gestures, growing warmth, and the kind of connection that leaves a mark, even when everything else changes. Behind the laughter and warmth lies a world of heavy choices and hidden scars. Burdens are carried in silence, sacrifices made in secret. Some nights end in aching limbs and unanswered calls. Some truths are buried beneath bruised knuckles and burning pride. Some wounds run deep. Some choices leave bruises. As secrets begin to surface and the weight of reality presses in, they must learn what it means to hold on-to love someone through the battles they can't always explain. Love not just as a feeling, but as a choice-one shaped by courage, pain, and the will to keep choosing each other through it all.
