In a peaceful valley lived Ilan and Nila. They shared a bond of deep affection. One day, Ilan had to leave for a long journey. As he prepared to depart, Nila put on a brave face. 'Don't worry about me, just go safely,' she said with a forced smile.
However, as the days passed, Nila’s strength faded. She became quiet and withdrawn. Her eyes, once bright, became red and swollen from constant weeping. When the villagers saw her, they whispered, 'Poor Nila, her eyes tell us how much she misses him. It seems as if her beloved has left her in sorrow.'
When Ilan finally returned, he didn't need to ask how she had been. One look at her tired, tear-stained eyes told him everything. Her silence had tried to hide her pain, but her eyes had betrayed her longing. He realized that true love and its absence are written clearly on a person's face.
