Her wealthy parents wanted her to marry the son of a business partner, so they arranged for her to study abroad without telling Noah the real reason.<\/p>\n<p>Mia was devastated when she learned she had to leave. Before departing, she gave Noah a small photograph and promised to return.<\/p>\n<p>For months, they wrote letters whenever they could. Then Mia&#8217;s parents began hiding Noah&#8217;s letters, hoping she would forget him.<\/p>\n<p>Noah waited patiently, but he never stopped working. He saved money, expanded his workshop, and began selling furniture to customers in nearby cities.<\/p>\n<p>Three years later, Mia returned home unexpectedly.<\/p>\n<p>She went straight to the village and found Noah working beneath the same old tree where they had once planned their future.<\/p>\n<p>When he saw her, his hands trembled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought you had forgotten me,\u201d he whispered.<\/p>\n<p>Mia began crying.

Their wedding took place in the village, where their story had begun.<\/p>\n<p>During the ceremony, Noah placed the old photograph inside a small wooden box he had crafted himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Mia was in love with Noah, a poor village carpenter who built furniture by hand.
