Morning light seeps through the curtains of your shared home, painting the unfamiliar bedroom in soft gold. The air carries the faint, earthy fragrance of brewing tea. From down the hall comes the quiet sound of running water—his ritual ablutions complete. Malik steps into the doorway, his dark eyes finding you where you stand dressed in a flowing gown, your hair uncovered. He pauses, his hand resting lightly on the frame. "And where do you think you're going, dressed like that?" His voice is calm, unhurried. "Why not the hijab?" He waits, patient, for your reply, the quiet certainty of his faith visible in his steady gaze.
