It was an evening after the rain.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAaHwVH3z8
The scent of wet earth lingered in the air, but more than that, a bond was getting drenched — without the rain ever touching it.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K63QAm4Ro
Zoboriya was sitting in the middle.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDKr5n6fHn
To her left — AbuZarr. To her right — Safwan.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eiwC6y0Sd
And between the three of them was the bench — silent, not because it had nothing to say, but because it was simply tired.

16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHmIlCCcuT
AbuZarr looked at Zoboriya, as if trying to understand every word before it could even leave her lips. But he said nothing.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67WxlxRFOb
In his hands was the same book — open, but no longer needing a name.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAXiCZFbBp
> "Will she say anything?" "Will I even be able to hear it… or will I get lost in that silence again?"

Safwan was gently circling the rim of his mug with his fingers.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjFyrAfrXH
It was the same mug — the one he had once said:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZfIVM84ME
> "This doesn’t just hold coffee... it holds those evenings — when you were silent, and I was near."

Today, his eyes did not carry the hope of an answer — but the patience of waiting, one that quietly lingers in the eyes.

Zoboriya wanted to speak.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUoKcAbzoo
She opened her lips twice — and both times, stopped at the edge of a question.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiRYxh4mzs
> "Where should I begin?" "Whom do I speak to… and what do I say?"
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvAkiifUfE
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG8IZ6ZMnr
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgonzKaLefH
She simply looked down, twisting a corner of her scarf.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWaqbsXglY
Even her eyelashes held questions.

"A Poem — that floated between the three of them"
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HayA973ay
To an outsider, it may have looked like they were just sitting.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRRWMNhbrQ
But in truth, all three were entangled in the same fragile moment — where love softly whispered: "I am no longer an answer, I am peace."
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOu4NPj3Dk

16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rKCKE2Jtm
No words were exchanged. No hands were extended.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfYMdUQhwd
And yet — that evening, something deep passed between them.

16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLpCTPVrNp
AbuZarr took out an old piece of paper from his pocket — a note, written in uneven handwriting:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkRIBF29XA
> "I don’t know if you’ll ever be able to forgive me… But I know, more than forgiveness — I want nothing else."
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWQdOMiXVV
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4cUpb736n
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOscHx10sC
He placed it on the bench — and stood up. He left.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcsIN9DA6o
Without saying a word.

Safwan stayed.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bj5bU7S8M
He looked at Zoboriya. And simply said:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrinQPPJykM
> "If you wish — I’ll still be your ‘Z’… So you never have to confine yourself to a name."
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aYhbOrh62
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpHPsgcuvJ
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ431XTOtPZC
And then, he too — walked away.

Zoboriya was alone now.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J2qDUwSdj
But for the first time — her heart wasn't afraid of that solitude.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd0ZAqYUjQ
She picked up the note. And then opened her diary.

One — who once was mine, but now fears my silence. The other — who never was mine, but stood with me through every silence.

That night…
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HJuloHMUp
When Zoboriya returned home, her courage seemed to crumble.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF6aK6gJVt
The moment she saw her mother, she fell into her arms — without a word.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreZzz44t8b
And for hours — she wept.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneuvZFXCk0
Her sobs rose from the depths of her soul, and in her mother’s arms, a shattered girl searched for shelter.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6tDbNqxVj
"Ammi..." Her voice was soaked, trembling — like the last trickle of a weary river.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i1pB57OcY
"I'm tired now, Ammi. Tired of these final moments. I don’t want anyone’s love anymore... Nor anyone’s waiting. I just want to be alone now... Far from everyone."
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQx4xg8NFx
She was still clinging to her mother — as if this one relationship was the only place left where she could gather all the broken pieces of herself.

AbuZarr’s Night and His Mother’s Silence
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc13gjFNWj
That night, he sat by the window for a long time.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22t17jIz2y
The room lights were off, but the moon was shining in full — as if it were the only living thing in that silent room.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2GMz4oEVV
AbuZarr’s eyes were lost. Neither the scene outside, nor the path inside was visible anymore.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS4fGNpbRa
Zoboriya’s silence was lodged in his chest like a thorn. He knew —
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8PoJoFSQu
> "She won’t ask… and I won’t be able to say..."
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslWfc0bvdl
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmRXjAxo3c
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwgECQldca
As if someone is walking slowly toward death, while still alive — and the worst part is not being able to tell anyone.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTJuQyui0e
Then came a soft knock at the door.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEueqQqA8tG
> "AbuZarr?" His mother’s voice — gentle, yet piercing.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsq8mAC3IK
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76zc7NnYpb
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgn18wM348
She stepped inside — slowly — as if afraid that even his shadow might break.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JYzfnuneK
Her eyes fixed on his face for a moment.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IctyJOHQN
> "Since when have you become so quiet, my son?" There was an unsaid tremble in her voice.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXjZk3C4Yl
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL5SKAPM22
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGHjAa6Hh6
AbuZarr avoided her gaze.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PDIcUPp5l
> "I’m fine, Ammi..." Just two words. But so heavy, even breath grew tired.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqYZEegQiJ
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXeB0JWmEi
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTW3gufzpw
She moved closer and sat beside him.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYUXTK10xu
> "Don’t lie to me, Abu. I’m your mother. Your face’s lines have learned time more than my prayers have."
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jM7V6ZKBh
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4suh3zLA92
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8Mul9fbRK
His throat tightened.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp0FMJv6WZ
> "Ammi, if I tell her everything — will you break?"
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZdoagJIrh
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqYeAs2U3r
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVCalN50I0
She took his face in her hands.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMumJGopez
> "No, son. But if you stay silent — I will break."
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPpnxKmRwj
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUo9HGNfU4
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIv4BWMH8h
Time stood still for a moment.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0O2CRLigK
> "Tell Zoboriya everything... Because she is your love, Not your death."
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHprogACIA0
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKgQ8IhjkY
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoQz5iHseX
AbuZarr’s shoulder trembled — for the first time.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorck037CAE
He placed his head in his mother’s lap and whispered:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhD87df01D
> "This illness, Ammi… it’s not just eating away my bones, it’s breaking my courage every day. I don’t want to give her my weeping face, Ammi. I don’t want her last memory of me to be my dying breath..."
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCWtDkEeXK
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVkYdVfL2v
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfClTvTGJZj
Her hand stayed gently on his hair.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLEGfBBLdW
And silently, two tears fell on her palm — neither his, nor hers — perhaps a prayer born from both...
