Feelings of Life Torment

episodes 5

Laila slowly walked towards John. There was a kind of shy confidence in her eyes, and a soft smile on her lips. After a moment of silence, she said softly,

“John… I know, I was wondering when you would tell me your thoughts.”

John seemed to be a little startled. He looked at Laila in surprise, as if trying to understand. How deep these words were.

John asked slowly.

“What do you mean?”

Laila lowered her eyes a little. There was a kind of tender emotion in her voice. Laila said.....

“ When you sit in the library and look at me quietly, when I am angry, you try to make me laugh, or when I am hurt, you understand even if I don’t say anything… That’s when I realized that you have something special hidden for me in your heart.”

A bright smile slowly appeared on John’s face. It was as if he had recognized the feelings he had stored for a long time.

Laila said again,

“To be honest, John… I also consider you a very close person. My day doesn’t start properly if I don’t talk to you.”

After saying these words, Laila looked at John. Their eyes seemed to speak silently for a while…without any words, but full of feelings.

John gathered some courage and said,

“So… Laila… do you want to spend the rest of your life with me?”

Laila smiled lightly and nodded. There was a hint of shy agreement and deep love in her eyes.

“Maybe… we both want to spend our lives with each other.”

Hearing this answer, John’s heart was filled with a strange peace and joy. The surrounding environment suddenly became more beautiful.. The soft light of that college afternoon, the gentle breeze, and the silent laughter of the two, all combined to make the moment unforgettable.

Standing in front of the library that day, John realized that the most beloved person in his life had started walking beside him from that moment.

Over time, their relationship deepened.

They set a date, went to church and got married.

After their marriage, Laila quit her job at the library. John and Laila's small family was built on the basis of love and mutual understanding. Their days began to be filled with peace, joy and small moments of happiness.

Within a few days, John achieved a great success in his work. He was promoted to senior professor. This achievement added new pride and joy to their lives. Laila always stood by John's side, encouraging him, feeling proud of his success.

Their life continued to move forward in such a happy rhythm that they did not realize how three years had passed. The small house seemed to be filled with love, laughter and sweet memories.

Every morning before John left for college, Laila would cook for him with her own hands. Standing at the door, she would say with a sweet smile,

“Be careful.”

John would then answer with a smile,

“If you are by my side, then there is no way to be careless!”

These little conversations were the true beauty of their relationship, simple but deep.

While taking classes in college, discussing with students, or sitting in the library reading books, John's thoughts would repeatedly turn to Laila. He felt like he wanted to share every moment of the day with Laila.

On the other hand, Laila took care of the house with great love. Sometimes she would read books, sometimes she would remember old memories, and in the afternoon she would sit by the window waiting for John to return. There was a kind of sweet happiness in this waiting.

The smile that would appear on Laila's face when John returned home in the evening seemed to remove all the fatigue of the day. They would sit together and have tea, tell stories of the day, talk about small incidents, funny memories, or dreams for the future.

The greatest joy of their lives was hidden in these simple moments.

One evening, a light breeze was blowing. The sun was spreading the last light before setting in the sky. Laila was standing on the balcony and looking at the sky. A calm, peaceful atmosphere surrounded her.

A thought suddenly flashed in her mind.....

Life is like a story. With time, all the mistakes, all the imperfections are gradually fixed. And if the right person is by her side, then that story becomes even more beautiful.

Laila smiled softly. She felt that she was really lucky to have John by her side in every chapter of her life story.

Just then, John came from behind and stood beside her. Without saying anything, he gently held Laila's hand. A thousand feelings seemed to be expressed in that silent touch.

Both of them looked at the sky, no words, just feelings. Their silence was the deepest language of love.
