<p><br/></p><p>In the heart of the Strawberry Empire, where the sweet scent of morning dew drifted across the fields, lived Strawleena. She was known everywhere as a gentle and calm soul, but her softness had grown from a childhood filled with noise and conflict.</p><p>When she was young, her parents argued often. Her mother cried quietly, while her fatherโs anger shook the walls. Strawleena would sit in a corner, wishing for silence. Those memories shaped her. They taught her that peace is not something you take for granted. She promised herself that, when she grew older, she would become a calm place in a loud world.</p><p>One evening, while sitting by the Gentleflow Stream, the soft rhythm of the moving water wrapped around her like comfort. That was the moment Strawbrin saw her. He walked toward her quietly, his heart drawn to the heaviness in her eyes.</p><p>โYour eyes look heavy,โ Strawbrin said gently. โWhat troubles you?โ</p><p>Strawleena lowered her gaze, then opened her heart in a way she rarely allowed.</p><p>โI am tired,โ she began softly, โof people who help just to control me. They offer kindness only so they can remind me of it later. They give with one hand and take my peace with the other.โ</p><p>She looked at the shimmering surface of the stream.</p><p>โI am tired of people who use support as a chain. They say they care, but their care feels heavy. They want to own my choices. They want to direct my life. Every kindness comes with a silent demand.โ</p><p>Her voice trembled, but she continued.</p><p>โI am tired of those who love me only when I am useful. They disappear when I need them and return when they want something. Their love has conditions. Their presence has price tags. Their help is a trap.โ</p><p>She turned to Strawbrin, her eyes full of raw honesty.</p><p>โI want a love that does not suffocate me. I want a partner who does not measure my worth. Someone who does not make me pay with my freedom each time they offer comfort.โ</p><p>A quiet pause settled around them.</p><p>โI want someone who helps because their heart wants to, not because they expect something in return. Someone whose love lifts me instead of tying me down. Someone who sees meโฆ not someone who tries to own me.โ</p><p>Strawbrin listened with full attention, his heart softening even more toward her. He sat beside her but gave her space, allowing her emotions to rest safely.</p><p>โI understand,โ he said softly. โAnd I want to be different. I pray that Allah makes my hands gentle, my wealth a blessing, and my presence a source of freedom. I want to grow into a man who brings peace into your life, not fear. I want my love to lift you, not limit you.โ</p><p>Her heart warmed at the sincerity in his voice.</p><p>From that moment, love grew between them with calm strength. Soon, the entire Strawberry Empire recognized them as two hearts full of wisdom. Young lovers often came to them for guidance.</p><p>One warm afternoon, a young couple approached them. The young man, Strawjun, held his breath nervously, while the girl, Strawmia, looked hopeful.</p><p>โWe came for guidance,โ Strawmia said quietly. โWe want to marry, but some people say love depends on gifts and money.โ</p><p>Strawbrin smiled gently.</p><p>โMoney can buy attention, but attention is not love. Love lives in the heart, not in pockets.โ</p><p>Strawleena added with calm clarity.</p><p>โTrue love grows from patience, respect, kindness and honesty. Material things may provide comfort, but they cannot keep a heart loyal. Only affection and sincerity can do that.โ</p><p>Strawjun nodded slowly.</p><p>โSo money is not the foundation?โ</p><p>Strawbrin replied,</p><p>โMoney builds comfort. Love builds the home.โ</p><p>Strawleena continued,</p><p>โYou will have days of plenty and days of little. If your love is strong and sincere, you will rise together in both.โ</p><p>The young lovers thanked them deeply and left with clear minds.</p><p>Later that evening, when they were alone again, Strawbrin watched Strawleena as the breeze gently stirred her leaf hair. Something warm and full flowed inside him. He wanted her to know exactly what she meant to him, so he took a smooth leaf paper and wrote her a letter.</p><p><br/></p><p>๐ A LOVE LETTER FROM STRAWBRIN TO STRAWLEENA ๐</p><p><br/></p><p>My Beloved Strawleena,</p><p>From the moment I saw you by the Gentleflow Stream, something in me awakened. Your eyes carried both strength and softness, and your spirit felt like calm rain after a long storm. I knew that Allah placed a gentle light inside you, a light that guides me even on days when I doubt myself.</p><p>You have given me peace without asking for anything in return. You have given me comfort with your voice alone. You have taught me that love is not control, and kindness is not a chain. You remind me that real love supports, protects and frees.</p><p>Each day with you makes me want to grow. I pray that Allah strengthens my character and blesses my efforts so I can lift you, honor you and never burden your heart. I want to be a safe place for you, just as you are for me.</p><p>Your presence brightens my journey. Your calmness softens my spirit. Your heart is the most beautiful gift in my life.</p><p>I love you for who you are, and who you are is everything gentle, everything peaceful, everything beautiful.</p><p>Forever yours,</p><p>Strawbrin ๐ค๐น๐๐ซ๐คธ๐คธ</p>
