~The lily of the Valley~

Chapter 12: A Tired Return

Ayzal and Aliyan returned home, exhausted from the day's celebrations. As they drove, Ayzal's eyelids grew heavy, and she dozed off in the car. Aliyan looked at her, his heart swelling with love. He reached out to touch her face, but stopped himself, not wanting to disturb her peaceful slumber.

When they arrived at her house, Aliyan gently shook her awake. "Ayzal, we're home. Come inside." But she didn't stir, her sleep too deep. With a tender smile, Aliyan scooped her up in his arms and carried her to her bedroom, carefully laying her down on the bed.

The next day, they prepared for the second function, this time at Aliyan's family home in the city. As they packed their bags and headed to the airport, Ayzal's nerves began to flutter. She was anxious about meeting her aunt and uncle after so long.

Aliyan noticed her apprehension and offered a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, everything will be fine. I'll be right there with you." His words calmed her fears, and she relaxed into his embrace.

As they boarded the plane, Ayzal felt a sense of excitement mixed with nervousness. But with Aliyan by her side, she knew she could face anything. The flower of the valley, a symbol of their love, bloomed in her heart, its fragrance filling her with courage and joy.
