Tumi Bihin by Salsabil Sara [Hardcover]

Dua’s saree was disheveled, and her long hair was tangled and loose. Her entire face was soaked in tears. Seeing her in such a heart-wrenching state, Yiad's temper flared to a level only he could comprehend. But what shocked him the most was that Dua was trying to pull her hand away from his. Yiad had lost control of his anger—what he might do next, even he didn't know. I tried to free Dua’s hand from his grip, but Yiad pulled my hand toward him instead. As I attempted to step back, his furious voice rang in my ears: **"What’s the problem? Why are you trying to move away from me?"** **"If you knew the truth, you would push me away yourself. And I could never bear that… That’s why I’m walking away on my own. Please, let me go."** Yiad then gripped my cheek tightly and said, **"What did I tell you? You can only walk away from me after I’m dead! Then why are you trying in vain? If I punish you, you won’t be able to bear it."** **"I’ll never be able to give you the chance to become a father. And for me, Yiad, there is no greater punishment than that,"** I replied in a voice choked with tears.
