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.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTpl4AdZfG
"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?"221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpPGtnxYxd
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.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7gneAbKfc
Feeling desperate and miserable, Kaduk did reach for his drawer, grabbed a pen, and started to write:221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDakR4t32G0
Alas... the man's tears can't be released from his chest221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDTeBbNp8f
Alas... his fruits never riped even tho he did his best221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1k1NUfx6M
Alas.... he never gave up on his thoughts221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8rTqv858q
Alas.... cause he gave it in and fought221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQrVcuW0to
Alas... sorrows of the young man were never heard221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs14HBVxz4I
Alas.... he messed it all up and no one even cared221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmduIlrDKm
Alas... he climbed the rock all up to his fate221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66WNL1c2gu
Alas... & never knew he has no man but his mate221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWkPqoBhKH
Alas... poor man was surrounded by emotion221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUAHnhXnHj
Alas... he was yet waiting for a motion221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsmBBipSiv
Alas... all he had was just his hope221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvqBTEUnxl
Alas... & what he got was a nope...221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwZFCUkZEF
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18iGcMT3iX
"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?221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLqh5tOtOf
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?221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvhR2wH5XZ
Ever since he met Karnastiya, he faced a revolution in his heart and mind. He was not the man he used to be.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XQAsC0e9g
For his heart and mind were stolen by one gorgeous, sweet, smart, and also an arrogant girl who was indeed far-fetching to impress.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUktF689uP
Hours, days, and months passed by but there was no sign of success ahead.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4xQtOsU06
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?221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxisfflIaM
Thus, continued the deadly combat between heart and logic...221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVRmOPK5gK
With his tears dripping, Once again, he reached for his phone but on second thought, he put it back on the desk.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUcsALQnN3

November 2017
That was a mood-boosting rainy evening. The air was getting cold and winter was becoming easier to behold.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSCdEJTyse
Business as usual, Kaduk was drinking a latte, surfing the net in the meanwhile.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXncnfYh0b7
"Ah, someone has visited my profile, let's see who it is...221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB6RyONuGX
Well, Her name is Karnastyia from Ukraine, hm, and she studies Persian literature. That's very interesting indeed!"221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjnYYUV30f
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.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQrM18w6w1
"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 :)"221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze1PkVEMHn
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.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKZD5QNT1K
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.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHSbS1k4rn

Having a wide smile on his face, he quickly reached for his phone and started writing an email to his old friend.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv2P0LMh8J
"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.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQY05u7aSu
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?221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEEb7fxsmy
It's truly one of the most joyful feelings that have ever existed in the history of humankind.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hvQ5IFblo
I'll write to you again soon. Please take good care of yourself!"221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62UfQIqXMz

"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.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVVrjUn1IQ
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!"221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Fn0bSuLD

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. Even if it means that I'll have to keep her love in my chest and seal my lips forever!"221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AxG5dr6OU

"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.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO2FsOcfXR
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.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpFLMzqVEM
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?"221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw6qfXkF2L

"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.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zFPoxlGlh
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 2018.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBz6EZNelO
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.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKhYdPDuep
However, I didn't get the answer I was hoping for. Alas, there's someone in her life.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINifPUP7p7

"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.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwtWXe9ZQP
The philosophy of life is indeed something complicated and uneasy to understand for us ordinary people.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUHcEv94kJ
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.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmgeFKdcze
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.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb7vRCvjTu
You can never impress someone if you fail to present yourself in a proper way.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyy7QREiUI
I don't think I would love myself if I were in her shoes, definitely not!"221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFU130qkrC
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!221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNYgnwqCmP

"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!221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MHAv9fp83
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?221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiskUY5FEIo
Aside from that, I have started to play soccer again. Our team continues to smash all the opponents. How joyful it is!221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgUOJAdmjI
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...221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NjaeeGzC1
