Let me share two real-life stories that show how love is often lost because of difficult situations:

In the first story, a girl had to leave her true love because of her mother. Her mother became very sick and asked her to marry the son of her close friend. The girl, not wanting to upset her mother in such a condition, agreed and let go of her own happiness to fulfill her mother’s wish.

In the second story, a girl from the Qadiani community (who, according to my faith, are not considered Muslims, though they call themselves Muslims) also lost her true love. She had fallen deeply in love with a boy and even became a Muslim for him. But her parents didn’t agree and forced her to move abroad with them, far away from the boy. They made her follow their beliefs and kept her away from the person she loved.

Stories like these happen all the time. We hear about love being lost, not because it wasn’t real, but because the world around them wouldn’t let it happen.
