CHAPTER 1: MARBEL’S UNFULFILLED MARRIAGE
325 Words
In the quiet village of Kereb, where the sun dipped low behind rolling hills, casting a golden glow over the thatched roofs, Marbel’s heartfelt heavy. She sat by the window of her small hut, watching the villagers bustle about, their laughter ringing in her ears like a distant melody. But for Marbel, the music had faded. Her husband, Denison, had become a shadow of the man she once adored.
When they first married, Denison was the light of her life, his laughter infectious, his smile capable of brightening even the cloudiest days. They shared dreams, hopes, and whispered secrets in the twilight hours. Yet, over the years, something shifted. The distance grew between them, filled with silences that spoke Denisonmes. The nights became cold, not from the chill of the air but from the growing absence of his warmth beside her.
Rumors floated through the village like smoke, hinting at Denison’s unfaithfulness. It started with whispers, a fleeting touch here, a lingering gaze there. Each word was a dagger to Marbel’s heart, yet she couldn’t bear to confront him, afraid of losing him entirely. Instead, she watched him slip further away, feeling the weight of despair tighten around her chest.
Marbel tried to reach out, planning romantic evenings, preparing his favorite meals, and dressing up in hopes of rekindling the spark that had once burned brightly between them. But each attempt felt futile. Denison was distant, his laughter no longer shared, his eyes often looking past her, lost in some other realm.
One evening, as she sat alone, the weight of loneliness crushing her spirit, Marbel made a decision. She could no longer sit idly by and watch her marriage crumble. Desperation clawed at her, and she resolved to seek help. She had heard tales of the village diviner, a man rumored to possess the knowledge of ancient remedies and the wisdom to mend broken hearts. She would go to him, no matter the cost.
