Love At First Sight

Munawardin Lakanwal

In the bustling streets of Kabul, amidst the whispers of tradition and the weight of societal expectations, two souls collided in a moment of serendipity. Zainab, with her captivating eyes reflecting the colors of the Afghan sunset, met Janan, whose gentle smile mirrored the warmth of a summer breeze. Their connection was instant, undeniable, a love born in the depths of their beings. But in a land where tradition dictates the course of lives, where love often surrenders to duty, their hearts became entangled in a web of cultural constraints. Their love, as fierce and pure as it was, could never defy the barriers that society erected around them. And so, their story unfolded in the shadows, a tale of longing and heartache, where the echoes of their love lingered in the alleys long after they had parted ways.
