The stranger I married

She never wanted the marriage.

To her, he was cold, distant, and impossible to understand - a man she was forced to call her husband while her heart silently resisted every part of it.
Living under the same roof felt unbearable at first.
No love.
No comfort.
Just two strangers tied together by fate.

But somewhere between quiet late-night conversations, hidden acts of kindness, and the peace she found in his presence, she began to realise something terrifying...

The man she tried so hard not to love was slowly becoming the only person her heart felt safe with.

And sometimes, the stranger you marry becomes the answer to every du'a you ever made.
