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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw4qdY6dv8
"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?"283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTtUs3Sobf
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO5SrwRPyf
Feeling desperate and miserable, Kaduk did reach for his drawer, grabbed a pen, and started to write:283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKpzvQ3BfF
Alas... the man's tears can't be released from his chest283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TlATLsM8d
Alas... his fruits never riped even tho he did his best283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU53CXM8jj
Alas.... he never gave up on his thoughts283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqkMVkPgLm
Alas.... cause he gave it in and fought283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtseOBoI0xw
Alas... sorrows of the young man were never heard283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xP08FojZs
Alas.... he messed it all up and no one even cared283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxVjayZcZZ
Alas... he climbed the rock all up to his fate283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVIBdn85WY
Alas... & never knew he has no man but his mate283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKezKza5Xu
Alas... poor man was surrounded by emotion283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8W3ozMUDJ
Alas... he was yet waiting for a motion283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgycgVz1mW
Alas... all he had was just his hope283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdsBLPtHOU

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthWg4M50r9
"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?283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuJJ2KEg7l
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?283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhg7dFdpdl
Ever since he met Karnastiya, he faced a revolution in his heart and mind. He was not the man he used to be.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw1WlazvRc
For his heart and mind were stolen by one gorgeous, sweet, smart, and also an arrogant girl who was indeed far-fetching to impress.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUM9f6xiRz
Hours, days, and months passed by but there was no sign of success ahead.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfBYTeYzYE
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?283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBroX8bFC1L
Thus, continued the deadly combat between heart and logic...283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKalNs2JObt
With his tears dripping, Once again, he reached for his phone but on second thought, he put it back on the desk.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI4IlH1e4w

November 2017
That was a mood-boosting rainy evening. The air was getting cold and winter was becoming easier to behold.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbvtxVRPhQ
Business as usual, Kaduk was drinking a latte, surfing the net in the meanwhile.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEXHief8hs
"Ah, someone has visited my profile, let's see who it is...283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytSSnIHsH9
Well, Her name is Karnastyia from Ukraine, hm, and she studies Persian literature. That's very interesting indeed!"283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHDC691Mxv
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeubIqSDWHo
"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 :)"283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFaa4jKFWI
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmROZVKQnx
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJw4BWyFqZ

Having a wide smile on his face, he quickly reached for his phone and started writing an email to his old friend.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI4IwSWctE
"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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFExt0JFlVO
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?283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydeYTKl100
It's truly one of the most joyful feelings that have ever existed in the history of humankind.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO6tNaisWQ
I'll write to you again soon. Please take good care of yourself!"283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgPHUEZIOx

"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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVjUnxm8az
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!"283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkpzuIcAIr

"Sandra, It's been already two weeks since I had a conversation with her and she has been offline since then. We were discussing a new movie and she suddenly disappeared. I'm nervous and stressed out.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJwpt17qDJ
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!"283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FgxBMLlh4

"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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatalP4nX8R
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknlhN9Gp7I
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?"283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPQyqMWrVI

"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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VSEMBmOXE
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 2018.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fo3eLX97K
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwOXIJfwuC
However, I didn't get the answer I was hoping for. Alas, there's someone in her life.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpkEDprp0b

"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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4m9EKNCmS
The philosophy of life is indeed something complicated and uneasy to understand for us ordinary people.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDhEecSlIr
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lq0Q2Z3pY
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRZGiIA4Td
You can never impress someone if you fail to present yourself in a proper way.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbvnaHsCqd
I don't think I would love myself if I were in her shoes, definitely not!"283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnQwlwJiNv
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!283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw34TypRdN

"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!283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0Bl88C9eO
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?283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1bAwqwRrl
Aside from that, I have started to play soccer again. Our team continues to smash all the opponents. How joyful it is!283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhbK0Oa49o
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...283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3BseMzs4F
