His life takes a turn for the better.

Prologue
Could it be that he knows, and that's why he...?"
The life of secrets, betrayal, and firm
In the midst of being lonely some days, Karalana takes a turn in life for the better.
Karalana's mind was a swirling tempest of memories.The weight of his mother's death hung heavy on his shoulders—a tragedy that had shattered his world. Though the accident had been beyond his control, the blame was inescapable.
One fateful evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the mountains, he met Sharisha. Her presence was a gentle breeze that momentarily calmed the storm in his heart. The two shared a secret beneath their imaginations, their whispered words forming an unbreakable bond.
As time passed, Karalana couldn't deny the growing connection between them. In Sharisha, he saw not just a refuge from his past but the promise of a brighter future. And so he made a decision to be by her side: he would keep his mother's death a secret from her; it was a lie born out of love.
In the glittering city of Smokey Valley and with unfamiliar faces, Karalana's trust issues deepened like a chasm in his soul. Surrounded by the wealthy elite, he felt like an outsider, a mere spectator in a world where people wore masks of politeness and privilege.
When every smile seemed to have hidden agendas. He couldn't help but wonder if, in this world of opulence, genuine connections were a rarity. The memories of his cousin's past betrayal and the weight of his tormenting memory only fueled his suspicion of everyone he met.
Yet, amid this sea of unfamiliarity,Sharisha remained his anchor. Her unwavering support and genuine affection were the glimmers of light in his darkening world. With her, he dared to believe that trust could be rekindled, even in a city where wealth and facades seemed to rule.
The unexpected marriage of Karalana and Sharisha sent shockwaves through Sanka and Abisai's circle of friends.

BLOOM OF UNSPOKEN LONGING

Kini turned to scrutinize Abisai closely, his gaze unwavering as he spoke. 


"His blood was boiling as he talked. 'You are at my house, uninvited, and you think you have the audacity to...'" 


Karalana had been on edge for hours thanks to Edmond's act earlier. 


A previous encounter with Edd had left a sour taste in his mouth, and he couldn't shake off the feeling of frustration that had been simmering within him. 


As he crossed paths with Edmond once again, his patience finally gave way. 


He turned to Abisai, his voice trembling with anger. 


"Abisai, I've had enough of your attitude. You can't just treat people like this and expect them to take it silently!" 


His retort was sharp and filled with the pent-up emotions he had been harboring. 


He knew he was being rude, but he couldn't help it. The encounter had pushed him to the brink, and he was on the verge of bursting. 


Uncontrollably
