Told through the voice of a young medical student who learns to love only once, the story traces a relationship that grows slowly and consciously-through shared walks, restrained glances, rain-soaked confessions, and the quiet ethics of choosing one another with insight rather than illusion. Olivia is not merely a beloved woman; she becomes a homeland, a moral compass, and a path toward God in a life once ruled by detachment and doubt. As love matures into marriage and shared purpose, the world intrudes with its familiar violence. War, injustice, and martyrdom tear through the fragile order the lovers build, leaving the narrator to confront the ultimate failure of language, medicine, and reason in the face of irreversible loss. What remains is memory, blood, prayer, and a voice writing against disappearance.
