WS

Three years into their arranged marriage, she still can’t bring herself to love her husband, Din. To everyone else, he seems perfect—kind, patient, and impossibly handsome—but all she can see is the silence between them. Din has been mute since childhood, communicating only through sign language, while she treats his quietness like an invisible wall she refuses to cross. She avoids him whenever she can, ignores every gentle gesture, and convinces herself that living under the same roof is enough.
