Yugh grew up in a house where discipline and dignity were valued above all else. š§
The family mansion stood proudly in one of the city's most respected neighborhoods,a symbol of generations of hard work and success. The Yaseen family name carried weight in both business and society, and from a young age, Yugh was taught the importance of responsibility, loyalty, and reputation.
Unlike many heirs of wealthy families, Yugh never chased luxury for its own sake. š©
He chose medicine.
Becoming a doctor was not a family obligation but a personal calling. Long hours at the hospital, sleepless nights, and the emotional burden of saving lives shaped him into a man of patience and empathy. He carried his profession with quiet pride, never allowing wealth to define his worth. š¤
Zahra entered his life during his early years as a medical intern.
She was graceful, soft-spoken, and intelligent, someone who knew exactly when to smile and when to stay silent. To Yugh, she seemed understanding and supportive of his demanding career. Their courtship was steady, approved by both families, and free from scandal or resistance. š¤
They married young.
Ten years later, Yugh still believed he had married the right woman. š«
Their marriage appeared stable and respectful, built on routine rather than passion. Zahra managed the household with elegance, ensuring everything ran smoothly. She attended social events, maintained family relationships, and fulfilled her role as the perfect daughter-in-law.
They lived together as a family.
Yugh's mother, Melathi, was a dignified woman with a firm belief in tradition and family unity. She valued Zahra deeply, often praising her patience and grace. Yugh's father, a reserved businessman, rarely spoke but commanded respect with his presence alone. š©
Yusuf, Yugh's younger brother, was twenty-three and still finding his place in the world. Unlike Yugh, Yusuf was more expressive, curious, and emotionally open. He admired his elder brother deeply and trusted Zahra like an older sister.
To outsiders, the household looked harmonious.
Dinner conversations were polite. Laughter echoed during family gatherings. There were no raised voices, no visible cracks, no reason to suspect anything amiss. š¤Ø
And yet, beneath the surface of respect and routine, something subtle was missing.
Yugh noticed it in the quiet moments,the way Zahra's eyes drifted elsewhere during conversations, the emotional distance she maintained, the absence of warmth that once existed. But he dismissed those thoughts as exhaustion, stress, or the natural evolution of a long marriage. š
Trust, after all, was the foundation of his life.
And Yugh trusted Zahra completely. š
