An arranged marriage, a marriage of convinience for two families with nothing more than a liability for each other 8 months in, we had a baby girl. We still didn’t talk to each other as a loving husband and wife do, only trying to survive in this marriage

16 months later

I wake up to my wife looking after our baby girl, who’s now 2 years old. I notice Ayla, my daughter being a bit more fussy than general. I walk upto them and nod for my wife to let me take her.
