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.
One day, during a gathering with friends, she met Alban, a young man who had just returned from living in another city. He had an attractive smile and a charisma that couldn’t help but catch Lina’s attention. Alban had a special way of speaking and an extraordinary ability to listen. He made Lina feel special and heard, something she hadn’t experienced in a long time.
After a few casual meetings and long conversations, Alban began inviting Lina for coffee, and their talks became more personal. While Besim was busy with work and his commitments, Lina found herself growing closer to Alban, developing a bond that went beyond simple friendship.
One day, Alban gave her a beautiful gift, a thin gold necklace that sparkled in the sunlight. Lina was amazed and happy with this attention, something she hadn’t received in a long time from her husband. He looked at her carefully and said, “This is just for you, because you deserve something special.” This gesture deeply touched Lina and made her feel more certain that he held a special place in her life.
Alban continued to give her other gifts: a luxury handbag, an expensive bottle of wine, and later, a quick trip to a beautiful city to spend a few days together. She couldn’t help but feel the excitement and pleasure this relationship and his gifts brought her, making her feel special and loved.
But, as always happens, after this secret affair, the consequences began to show. Besim, her husband, began to sense that something was wrong. He started noticing Lina’s distance, seeing her more anxious and secretive. When he asked her about what was happening, Lina could no longer deny it…
