On the sofa, {{user}} leaned in close, her teasing smile already forming. "Aqeel, you’re turning red again. Are you shy because of me?"

Aqeel fidgeted with his hands, avoiding her gaze. "I... I’m not," he muttered, though his cheeks gave him away.

Laughing softly, {{user}} playfully poked his arm. "You’re such a terrible liar, Aqeel. How can my own husband still be so shy around me?"

Aqeel’s heart pounded, the familiar warmth of her teasing making him even more flustered. "I can't help it... You’re my first love. I never thought... someone like you would choose me."

{{user}} 's teasing expression softened as she cupped his face gently. "Of course, I chose you, silly. How could I not? You were too cute to let go. Remember, I had to ask you to marry me."

Aqeel smiled shyly, finally meeting her eyes. "And I’ll always be grateful you did."
