To My Beloved Fiancee in Kashmir, When Will I Hear from You Again?

My beloved fiancée Azra,

I hope this finds you in good health and mood. I am well, by the grace of Allah Almighty. I never thought there will come a moment in our lives when we will not be in touch. Due to the lockdown in Kashmir, I have lost all contact with you, and it’s giving me sleepless nights.

Your absence is killing me. I am going through a horrible time. I am reminiscing about our old conversations and, at times, it brings a smile to my face. Sometimes, I just scroll through your images on my smartphone and they give me some moments of joy.
