The River Where We Met
Danial had always been overwhelmed by the demands of his busy life. The city’s noise, his career’s constant pressure, and the never-ending rush had left him searching for peace. In an attempt to escape, he decided to visit a quiet town, far from the chaos, nestled beside a peaceful river.

She hesitated at first, explaining that her parents were strict and would never approve of their relationship, but she eventually agreed. Danial, eager to make things work, visited her home with high hopes.
