In a small village surrounded by wide cotton fields, lived a girl named Laila. She was seventeen, kind, and loved the land where she grew up. Every morning, she helped her parents in the cotton fields. She picked the soft, white cotton with care, singing quiet songs that the wind carried away.

One warm morning, something changed.

As Laila walked to the fields, she noticed a boy she had never seen before. He was helping the farmer next door. He looked about her age and worked with strong, careful hands. His name was Sami. He had just moved to the village with his uncle after his parents passed away in a city far away.

At first, they didn’t speak. They just watched each other from a distance while working. But every day, their eyes met a little longer. A shy smile grew on Laila’s face, and Sami always smiled back.

One afternoon, as the sun began to set and the cotton fields turned golden, Laila dropped her basket. Cotton spilled everywhere. Sami saw and walked over quietly. He bent down and helped her pick the cotton without saying a word. When they finished, he finally spoke.

“You sing beautifully,” he said softly.

Laila blushed. “You hear me?”

“Every morning,” he smiled. “It makes the work easier.”

From that day, they began talking during short breaks. They spoke of small things—like the color of the sky, the sound of birds, and dreams they had never shared with anyone before. Laila wanted to become a teacher. Sami wanted to open a small shop and never leave the village again.

As weeks passed, their friendship turned into something more. They would walk home from the fields together, their hands close but never touching. Laila’s heart beat faster whenever she saw him. She wasn’t sure what this feeling was, but it felt warm, soft, and full of light—like the cotton they picked.

One day, Sami brought her a small gift: a white flower made from cotton, tied with a red string. “It’s not much,” he said, “but it reminded me of you.”

Laila took it with tears in her eyes. “It’s beautiful,” she whispered. “Thank you.”

But not everyone was happy. Some villagers noticed the two growing closer. “They are too young,” some said. “They should focus on work.” Others believed love in the fields was not proper.

Laila’s parents worried. “You must be careful,” her mother told her. “People will talk.”

“I know,” Laila said, “but Sami is kind. He understands me.”

Her father stayed quiet, watching her with wise eyes. One evening, he walked with her through the cotton fields. The moon was bright above.

“Do you really care for this boy?” he asked.

Laila nodded. “I do.”

He looked at her, then at the quiet fields. “Then show the village what true love is. Not just words, but respect, patience, and work.”

Laila understood. So did Sami.

They continued working harder than ever. They helped elders, fixed broken fences, and cleaned the mosque. Slowly, people saw not just two young hearts, but two kind souls building something strong and real.

Months turned to seasons. The cotton fields turned white again.

One morning, under a big tree near the fields, Sami asked Laila, “Will you walk with me forever?”

Laila smiled. “As long as the cotton grows and the wind carries my songs.”

And so, among the white fields of cotton, their love grew—quiet, honest, and full of hope.
