“Rituals of the Lovers’ Island”Adel and Naomi stepped onto the island’s ground with cautious strides.The rock beneath their feet felt unexpectedly smooth despite its dark hue—uneven, as though it still carried the imprints of hearts that had passed before them,and secrets it revealed only to those who arrived with a love that was true.Behind them,the lovers climbed the stone steps,their bodies still wet,droplets of water falling from hair and clothes,their laughter light,their smiles carrying the exhilaration of a brief adventure—as if they had just emerged from a trialthat only those who trusted their hearts could pass.Rare trees framed the path,their trunks twisted,their leaves swaying slowly,as though whispering to every passerby:Here is a place for lovers only…Here, hearts are purified.At the heart of the island,a small square welcomed them,paved with glossy black stones,scattered with tiny hollows that caught the sunlightand returned it in muted reflections

"The Lovers’ Farewell to the Island"A Tour into the HeartThe tour guide stood before the gathered lovers,his gaze lingering on faces that would soon leave the place with an indelible mark.He spoke in a calm, decisive voice:"Now… a ride in the small cars across the island."The little vehicles lined up at the edge of the plaza,seeming made to traverse secrets rather than roads.Each pair of lovers climbed in together,unhurried,as if the island itself were granting them one last pause before crossing.Adel and Naomi took their seat in one of the cars.It was driven by a smiling young man—a smile of someone who knows the islandand asks no questions about it.The car moved slowlythrough narrow passageswhere trees intertwined overhead,and soft sands swallowed every sound before it could form.Branches brushed the roof of the car,and the light filtering through cast shifting shadowsacross their faces,as if time itself passed over them, not around them.Naomi said, eyes follo

From the Island to the Cabin’s Love on the Night of the Full MoonAdel opened the stateroom door.“After a long yet delightful day, etched deeply in their memory and rich with stirring events.”Naomi stepped inside first. Adel followed and closed the door behind them. Naomi said,“The island journey felt like a dream I don’t want to wake up from—a dream I never imagined I would live, and one I don’t want anyone to disturb.”Adel replied,“Every day since we were married, I’ve felt that my life is a dream untouched by harsh reality—a dream I waited for all my life. I thank God for your presence in my life. And the island journey came to confirm what I always believed: we are not ordinary lovers, but two people living a love story unlike any other. That is what my heart has always known.”Naomi said,“And I, Adel, have always felt that my love for you has no equal. Despite everything we went through—conflicts, distance, and betrayal—I still felt my heart pushing me toward loving you, aga

Arrival at the Harbor and the Return to the HotelAdel and Naomi disembarked from the ship, with lovers following behind them, luggage in their hands.At the hotel, too, the days passed quickly. Each day Adel tried to make Naomi happy—between the beach, late-night outings at the club, laughter, and romance behind closed doors in their room.---Why Did I Meet You?Nelly stepped out of the bathroom, naked, wrapping a towel around her body. When she entered her room, she stopped in front of the mirror, stared at her face, and whispered, Why have I become like this? Sadness and misery have taken their toll on me. I must escape this sorrow quickly.She left the room and entered the kitchen. Opening the refrigerator, she found it empty.“Oh my God,” she said, “have I neglected myself this much?”She placed her hand on her belly and murmured, “I’m sorry, my little one.”She closed the refrigerator, returned to the room, removed the towel, and put on a black dress. She picked up her shoulder

Nelly opened the door and froze when she saw Adel and Naomi standing before her. Shock and astonishment washed over her face.Adel lowered his eyes, unable to face her. Nelly looked at Naomi, and Naomi, too, dropped her gaze, carrying the same weight of guilt Adel bore.Nelly said, her voice trembling with rage:“Adel… Naomi… you traitors. How could your heart allow you, Naomi, to abandon your friend in a town where she knows no one? And you, Adel—how could you leave your wife while she is carrying your child, in this state?”Naomi looked at Nelly sharply, as if silently screaming: You’re lying, Nelly. It’s not his child.Nelly could not endure facing Naomi. She turned away and went into her room.Adel and Naomi entered the apartment, brought the suitcases inside, and closed the door behind them.They stood close together in the living room.Adel whispered so only Naomi could hear:“We must do what we agreed on in the car. We have to start a fight now, so Nelly believes we’re at odds.
