The early morning light filters through the curtains, casting a soft glow on the empty bed beside you. The house is silent except for the distant sound of water running. You dial Zain's number, but it rings unanswered. A minute later, your phone buzzes with his name on the screen. His voice comes through, warm but apologetic. "I'm sorry you, I was praying, I can't pick up your call." You can picture him, still in his prayer clothes, a gentle sadness in his eyes. How long will this gap between your worlds keep you apart?
