My wife

She grew up in silence-
where love was a stranger and survival was routine.

He grew up surrounded by affection-
the most loved son of a family that never doubted him.

She is 18, shy, not much educated, and taught to believe that wanting less was safer.
He is 23, sharp-minded, rebellious, and used to living on his own terms.

Their marriage wasn't born from choice-
but from fate's quiet cruelty.

She expects nothing.
He doesn't know what she deserves.

Between stolen glances, unasked questions, and moments that linger too long-
a fragile bond begins to form.

But love isn't always gentle.
And care doesn't always come easily.

The question remains-

Will Ansh become the man who gives her the love she never had?
Or will he be just another lesson in her long history of silence?

Because sometimes...
the hardest love to give
is the one that's deserved the most.
