🌹 Chapter 4: The Rose Day Confession
February 7th.
Flower shops were filled with red roses. Ariyan stood for a long time, selecting a single bloom. His hands trembled with a mix of fear and hope.
He faced Maria and said,
"I may not have grand words…
but being next to you in this city makes me feel complete."
Maria lowered her gaze and took the rose.
"I thought the city would make me lose myself…
but you've made this city mine."
Under the city lights, the rose became a symbol of their love.
