April 2020
"Roses are red, violets are blue, I smile all day, because of you!" The young Kaduk enthusiastically said, But.. what response did he get? clearly, nothing! The young man desperately looked at his phone's screen and let a sigh out.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMneZlXaH8
"Lord, for how long does she want to ignore me? For how long should my soul be tortured? Isn't three years of suffering enough? What have I done to deserve this all?"252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMmyk1iQdy
He knew what he had done. In the depth of his heart, he knew that he was not the innocent man everyone thought him to be.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH2mLIvBP3
Feeling desperate and miserable, Kaduk did reach for his drawer, grabbed a pen, and started to write:252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF2jDZSUah
Alas... the man's tears can't be released from his chest252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm9Gb1ki0P
Alas... his fruits never riped even tho he did his best252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HO7jfeIMJ
Alas.... he never gave up on his thoughts252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmks7NZ1tR
Alas.... cause he gave it in and fought252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHjyGrlW9s
Alas... sorrows of the young man were never heard252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4ss3OQ45M
Alas.... he messed it all up and no one even cared252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAeKNrh5QD
Alas... he climbed the rock all up to his fate252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW14AzBcHZW
Alas... & never knew he has no man but his mate252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIufME7ZQyC
Alas... poor man was surrounded by emotion252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxtF2XNW9j
Alas... he was yet waiting for a motion252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAFMh6XNG4

Alas... & what he got was a nope...252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76LKyeHz3W
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF0CPusYCN
"To send or not to send? That was the question!" He started struggling with himself, sending this poem to his beloved one could make everything even worse but... what did he have to lose anyway?252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ764WLB9tyX
Who would ever imagine Kaduk, this humble but furious captain of FC Arman, a man who never cared about relationships, a pure virgin, falling in love like that?252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApcPfnX968
Ever since he met Karnastiya, he faced a revolution in his heart and mind. He was not the man he used to be.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rIfdwn3jl
For his heart and mind were stolen by one gorgeous, sweet, smart, and also an arrogant girl who was indeed far-fetching to impress.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj9LfiVMgF
Hours, days, and months passed by but there was no sign of success ahead.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOOXcphyoQ
His heart eagerly wanted him to keep going and not give up on impressing Karnastiya while his brain advised the opposite. But what was the best decision he could make?252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5SlzdLnzl
Thus, continued the deadly combat between heart and logic...252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoAJSq6slo
With his tears dripping, Once again, he reached for his phone but on second thought, he put it back on the desk.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnorbNyzu0g

November 2017
That was a mood-boosting rainy evening. The air was getting cold and winter was becoming easier to behold.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYok4k2wMUu
Business as usual, Kaduk was drinking a latte, surfing the net in the meanwhile.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yGrAVw0js
"Ah, someone has visited my profile, let's see who it is...252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgbLK8XryI
Well, Her name is Karnastyia from Ukraine, hm, and she studies Persian literature. That's very interesting indeed!"252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlHoxrywPe
Possessing similar interests in history, literature, and video games, he decided to send her a message. This warm-hearted man was always eager to help those who wanted to learn the Persian language.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA18ZwJgG8
"Good Evening Karnastiya, Thanks for visiting my profile. My name is Kaduk, just like you, I study literature, and of course, I'm in love with history! I will be truly glad if you grant me the honor to get to know more about you. Besides, don't hesitate to ask me if you might ever need help with your Persian studies :)"252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIPTt8d4xb
His high school studies were slowly coming to an end. However, Kaduk never wanted this to happen! He would definitely miss his classmates, teachers, and even Mr. Kazaki, the angry old man who was in charge of managing the school.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1rbfhzG3R
Life was indeed peaceful and, beautiful. But we never know what expects us the next day. One day, when we don't expect it at all, the parrot of love sits in our hearts, building a nest.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77UpUhWOMo

Having a wide smile on his face, he quickly reached for his phone and started writing an email to his old friend.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx22KUvzfl
"Dear Sandra, can you imagine? I mean, just, I don't know how to describe this godly creature. It's been a few months since I met a young lady whose name is Karnastiya. She is from Ukraine, just like you! I feel like I can never live a single day in her absence. With that much joy, she's brought to my life. We even play games together and guess what? She says that she wants to visit Tehran in the upcoming summer! She's someone I can talk to about anything that pops up in my mind.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC61zDGzPN4
When she speaks, I can't stop smiling or sometimes I even laugh. One might think I'm crazy or something but let it be, isn't it how falling in love is?252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwTH7JcGWN
It's truly one of the most joyful feelings that have ever existed in the history of humankind.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq90MYtXVH
I'll write to you again soon. Please take good care of yourself!"252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bTbopPspk

"She has just revealed that she's interested in someone, ah, it was like an arrow in my chest, a fiery arrow that ruthlessly burns the man's heart. To be honest, I can't breathe... just don't know what to do. I can't give up on her. Even if she has given her heart to somebody else! Yes, I will wait, but I won't tell her anything.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vxPyl7H8J
I know it might all be immoral, but how can I stop loving her? you know, dear Sandra, it's the first time ever that I feel like this, the first time that I am truly in love. I know it might sound stupid, but I will wait for as long as I need to. Who knows, perhaps, one day she'll realize that nobody loves her as much as I do!"252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWHn2tGyfb

I remember some disputes had erupted in their relationship but I don't think it was that serious and I hope not! I just hope she's alright because I never want to see her sad.

"Doroha Sandra, it's been months since she went into the dark. I'm really nervous. What has happened to her? May the Lord himself protect her.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48r5lV0plg
I just can't stop thinking about her. You might not believe but I even see her in my dreams in which, she's often silent. Once, she was sitting among sunflowers, looking at me with a smile on her sweet lips, however, she did not say a single word.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjwn4REWnn
The other time, we were somewhere near an abandoned workshop. I asked if I can hug her but she wanted me to enter the workshop and kill five cockroaches first. I know it might sound ridiculous but well, it is what is it. I managed to kill four cockroaches and damn, I woke up and failed to hug her. That was such a deep sense of frustration! Why can't we live in our dreams?"252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHNTr2cgvX

"She's back! I can't believe this, Sandra, but the wait is finally over! what's more joyful than seeing your beloved one again? after nearly a year? My friend, I can't describe my excitement. It's truly a heavenly joy, given by God himself to enlighten my soul.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD9OPshSus
She said that she broke up with her boyfriend some months ago. Well, that was to be expected as I could see how nervous and upset she was back in late 2018.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WlCFsO6BV
I even told her about my feelings, yes! I know it was kinda stupid to immediately jump on this topic but I couldn't hide my excitement and love anymore.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5Y6WQZOMZ
However, I didn't get the answer I was hoping for. Alas, there's someone in her life.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOsiMBgTsX

"What happens that one loses interest in one else? How those of the people who would hang out and chat every day and night, suddenly start to communicate less and less. It's been always one of my questions. As a random dude says: There are several continents and billions of humans but you lose your heart to exactly the one who doesn't have the same feelings for you.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ7iUoUNKp
The philosophy of life is indeed something complicated and uneasy to understand for us ordinary people.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqGdnTW78q
Yes, as you might have already guessed, it's been a while since I haven't had a chance to talk to her. In fact, I often find her online but I don't get any responses. However, I do know that I'm guilty of all this. Perhaps, I had a chance to impress her but lost it due to being too careless in expressing my ideas, thoughts, and feelings.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKcI3yPWn3
It's surely understandable that I have pushed her away from myself. When I take a deeper look at it, I realize that she might have no reason to feel something for me and as I said, it's logical.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI9SlRsMO9
You can never impress someone if you fail to present yourself in a proper way.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z6YsFxZeX
I don't think I would love myself if I were in her shoes, definitely not!"252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2C0E7dBgw
That being said, the young man decided to fade away, having no hope of winning Karnastiya's heart, Kaduk went into the dark for a while, trying to make the wrong things right in his life and make a much better version of himself. So that, who knows, perhaps he would have a chance to strike back!252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJiAGOSch9

"Dear Sandra, you must forgive me for not contacting you for more than a year. I understand that you might be really angry at me but to tell you the truth, I needed to stay away from social media. I really needed to have some peace of mind!252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aLcxoriZJ
Thanks to the Lord, I've made some good progress in my life. Now I'm a teacher and I have my own car! I call him "Busphalas". It's a glorious name, is it not?252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1H3acFzvk

It was not easy to stop thinking about Karnastiya. She would constantly appear in my night dreams but I did it! I try not to think about her anymore. Though, I must confess that in the depth of my heart, something still loves her...252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqlbCO0ONg
