Bilal framed that photo. He hung it in their living room.
He titled a series of close-up portraits "The Monalisa of Anantnag."
When he posted the images on a private art forum, they leaked. Within 48 hours, the photos went viral across WhatsApp and Instagram in the valley. The "Monalisa" wasn't just a model anymore; she was a sensation.
Bilal saw the photos. It wasn't the art that broke him—it was the way Ayaan had captured her. Intimate. Unlocked. Zara was smiling in a way Bilal had never seen in their seven years of courtship.
