When Gifts Became the Reason for the Failure
Lina was a woman who had everything she wanted: a beautiful family, a loving husband, and a peaceful life in a small town. She and her husband, Besim, had spent many years together and had two wonderful children. Besim was a hardworking man, devoted to his family, and she could always count on him. However, after many years of living in a routine, Lina began to feel insecure and dissatisfied, a feeling that she couldn’t easily shake off.

He made Lina feel special and heard, something she hadn’t experienced in a long time.
