Three years ago, the first two times Gengsly visited a restaurant by his home in Melbourne, he found himself irritable and short-tempered. But Houda, with her radiant smile and unwavering grace, refused to be deterred. Each time she approached his table, she greeted him with warmth and kindness, her gentle demeanor a stark contrast to his own aloofness.

Despite his initial reservations, Gengsly couldn't help but be captivated by Houda's charm. Her infectious laughter and genuine hospitality began to thaw the ice around his heart, gradually melting away the barriers he had erected. With each visit, he found himself looking forward to the sight of her, his mood lifting at the mere sound of her voice.

One fateful evening, as Gengsly sat alone at his usual table, Houda approached him with a tentative smile. This time, instead of his usual curt response, he found himself engaging her in conversation. What began as a casual exchange soon deepened into something more meaningful, as they discovered shared interests and dreams.

As days turned into weeks, Gengsly and Houda's bond blossomed into a love that transcended cultural boundaries. Through their shared moments at the restaurant, they learned to appreciate each other's backgrounds, embracing the richness of their diverse heritages.
