Chapter One – The River That Remembered

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXepT4tfrJT

The wind moved slowly, brushing against the lonely strands of Zoboriya’s hair that had escaped her scarf. The river beside her flowed with a hush — a quiet lullaby that only those carrying silent grief could understand.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHMk1dFD4d

She stood still, hands folded in front of her, the smell of wet stone and distant jasmine thick in the air. Behind her, the small Turkish town of Safranbolu breathed in its soft morning calm. But inside her?

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfV8iUArQH

A storm she hadn’t named.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmwCBBk03c

A love she hadn’t confessed.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFRN7qvlh8

A pain she never expected to carry.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC6SCnQgab

She looked at the water again, wondering if it remembered that moment —

the exact second her world had shifted.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO2XAMguc4

> “If only he hadn’t come that day…” she whispered, her voice barely audible.

“If only Abu Zarr had never stood in front of me.”

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwam7TbV4a

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmeK7MQouf

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJBfeZvG6A

But he had.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhRu0w5YvX

And like a sudden gust in the middle of a still afternoon, he had shaken her soul awake.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a5ofNGHE6

It was early spring, the trees still dressing themselves in fresh green, and the cafés along the cobbled path hadn’t yet filled with tourists. That afternoon, three years ago, she had come to this same river, carrying nothing but a journal and a tired heart.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFUXsmPZRt

She had wanted silence.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvETb98Aca

She had wanted to sit and not be seen.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV96rvgiP2

But he had found her anyway.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiFIufsj51

“Zoboriya.”

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8qkQg5gP2

His voice had come from behind — firm, familiar, breaking the very air around her.

She had closed her eyes first.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGMahkUmYA

Then turned.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbRnWQfGKy

And there he was.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3s832tsWA

Not as the Abu Zarr she remembered — the boy with laughter tucked in his collar and stars in his voice — but a man now. Quieter. Older. And with eyes that looked like they hadn’t rested in weeks.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymvpWftn9N

He hadn’t smiled.

He hadn’t spoken again.

He had just looked at her —

like she was a story he still didn’t understand how to finish.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3dqsSQzNf

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzlWGCS6hL

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobbp4oUgoD

> “Why did you come?” she had asked, her fingers tightening around the pen in her lap.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi6gueknTt

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYeM0CrBfR

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFjcSZaLNL

He had shrugged slightly, his gaze not leaving hers.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzJZcFCUVJ

> “Because I wasn’t done.”

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8tWPU89Kd

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu6NOviQaO

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuArH7zsrgP

She had laughed. Not the soft kind, but the one that hides wounds.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbJtwXf0Uz

> “You were the one who left. You were the one who turned your love into silence.”

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pceStVoCs

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCiPCXzP13

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5C19ohgWN

He didn’t defend himself. He just stepped closer.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pfBTOViXn

> “Maybe I thought your silence would match mine.”

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr1xJJJ2J1

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasDuipzR0K

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMdmL3OJN0

That day, everything blurred — the river, the air, her breath.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IOE3A04R9

He had come back,

but not to explain.

Not to apologize.

Not to say he still loved her.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MhW6XwTj3

He had just come — and in that moment, it was both too much and never enough.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ660gHo8BWE

Now, years later, standing again by the same river, Zoboriya wondered what remained of that afternoon.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gdlu61cSw

Maybe nothing.

Maybe everything.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcNuZQVphg

> “You left your noise behind, Abu Zarr.

But you left your silence inside me.”

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNkoXryOHU

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzrLxBdyi5

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0w6RfNFrf

The wind answered her this time, rustling the pages of her old notebook — the one that still carried his name in ink that had begun to fade.

My Blank Love

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDN0CXBgQP

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL24M6PDCa

In the grand library of the most prestigious university in Turkey,

Zoboriya sat in a quiet corner,

surrounded by hundreds — yet feeling utterly alone.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4MHD6NRAD

A gentle yellow light fell on her book,

casting soft shadows on her fingers that trembled slightly.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK89iVx0cH

She was holding a book titled:

“He Was Mine, Yet Never Truly Mine”

— and every word felt like an echo from her own life.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpYjEFA5jy

Each page pulled her heartstrings, each line carried the weight of an old memory —

and every moment mirrored the face of Abu Zar.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdKSBIiS9B

Tears streamed down quietly, one by one,

as if something inside her was slowly unraveling.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY31T3bOo0

She closed the book gently, took a deep breath, and looked around — thankfully, no one seemed to notice.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjB2YQMdGV

She reached for her handkerchief, wiped her tears, and whispered under her breath:

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPmFHMCXvo

> “Oh Abu Zar… why did you do this to me?”

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCs5s2EjqM

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2ahw6pOrn

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC5IFjEFrv

There was a storm within, but her face remained calm — like the surface of still water hiding a sea of pain beneath.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85Gl6xGlg9

But she didn’t know…

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxt3AvT1e1

that someone,

from across the table,

hidden behind a wall of books,

had been watching her all this time.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXUP0k81AY

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLIQLgN09e

---

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCUnSXW12v

Those eyes had a depth —

as if they, too, carried an unshed tear.

They didn’t blink much,

as if afraid to miss a single moment.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGb96YJHSZ

The owner of those eyes remained silent.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErBQmYmLUp

He wasn’t Abu Zar…

but he wasn’t any less than him either.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovrtVGP7G7

His gaze followed Zoboriya’s every blink,

every breath she took in Abu Zar’s name.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk9qPglLfA

He saw something in her pain —

something familiar, something unfinished.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtbWdLHMud

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoUMkLFqFb

---

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqctG4MA78T

His name did not reach her lips, but Zoboriya somehow felt the presence.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1QRjgKPVw

She turned her head slowly —

her senses alert to the soundless presence.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZDjwGngrq

And just then…

the boy behind the pile of books shifted away, trying to hide.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPqMYWUyI2

But it was too late.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x7TLLX8U2

Zoboriya had caught the echo — the feeling that someone was silently listening to the cracks of her broken love.

Chapter 5 – A Place Where Love Speaks Without Words

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV792Kydc40

Leaving behind the cold silence of the library, Zoboriya walked out, carrying her heavy heart like an invisible book.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfHp59YI0D

She looked up at the sky — blue, vast, yet strangely hollow.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91VixwmIhH

Her feet instinctively walked the path

toward her secret place —

a quiet corner of the world

she called “her refuge.”

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDTm2hSODO

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDyJOdm96y

---

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHyvOUrFe2

She had to cross a trail of stones,

each one echoing with soft whispers of wind.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW7uckzyPX

And finally…

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4fUfGaWb1

she arrived.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4rLTFVg8M

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCVq6sZqwv

---

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBXeKMOeDW

Trees surrounded her —

branches full of green whispers, birds chirping from above as if the world still believed in forgotten songs.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQknM52BxV

A small stream flowed beside her —

its slow, hesitant waters

mirroring her own unsaid thoughts.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotEb2xLarK

Far away, a couple sat close, laughing softly, lost in each other’s gaze.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFjCdBVQhM

A sad smile brushed across Zoboriya’s lips —

but it never touched her eyes.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX04T2SIhA3

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZrwsBERTS

---

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI6KT2Pl8h

She sat down silently on a familiar stone — as if it had been waiting for her all along.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzBgOwnDMy

Her scarf fluttered in the breeze, slipping off her shoulder and brushing against the earth — like her soul, tired and seeking rest.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4PQwYT2ht

She rested her hands in her lap,

and exhaled a long, deep breath.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr5SEjvInT

> “Sometimes the world seems full of color,”

she thought,

“but all I ever hold is a grey mist —

a fog that devours every light I try to find.”

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lPPN8agz5

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01kZbHjD7J

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpFyuUQWyw

Her eyes were still moist,

but the tears no longer fell.

They had become a quiet companion — a part of her now.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdTRsIqHV5

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDakZhXFX0L

---

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlyf32cDAd

She didn’t know…

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHggJUKIHbm

that the boy from the library —

the one with unread eyes —

had followed the same path.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzJ1vt57JQ

He stood at a distance, watching her again.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaxciZGjhq

He had never truly known love.

He had only witnessed its breaking.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkcnEjWDUf

And perhaps, for the first time, he saw someone who was just like him.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILlMYlljwz

Someone whose silence was also a language.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ8TT1ogB1

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3krKNN9Yv

Zoboriya still sees that evening —

the one when Abu Zar’s single glance

had awakened her soul.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzj6EwJyZX

But after that glance, he left her trapped in a dream called love — a dream where even waking up hurts.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4i22y48Zd

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY7aWhXf48

---

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YHV0thHqN

He was never a dream… nor a reality.

But in every memory,

his name is inked.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxQkuoYTUn

His return brought no peace to her,

because he was present —

but never truly there.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLYvSBWZAe

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzJJJq4tCu

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDallqMC5I

Some loves don’t need words.

They ask questions with just their eyes.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYLTyhrEVW

Abu Zar and Zoboriya…

an unfinished question

that’s too afraid of its answer.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJUMVVgLRS

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemob5vgYwp

Zoboriya read the last line of her book —

and just then, her eyes found a boy sitting a little far from the stage.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUOvrV0p4y

It was him...

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzIfxmezU3

The one who never spoke her name,

yet understood every silence she lived through.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuBUsY3pss

He didn’t clap,

didn’t take a photo,

just sat there…

his eyes holding the same peace —

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAtaNRAKz1

> As if he wished to be a witness

to all that Zoboriya had never said out loud.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5o1mG2LaA

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pUEmls7ru

The event ended.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T8LWJIWcw

People came forward, praised her, took autographs.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuyQTRXMuo

But Zoboriya’s eyes searched for only one face.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3htYE8L4J

When she stepped outside,

she saw him on a bench across the way —

holding an umbrella, as light rain fell around him.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDNw1gNBZS

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6uZoaFYyL

---

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14leI2oxyF

She walked up to him.

Said nothing.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt1yaZ8Y5Q

Just sat beside him.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUqDKqs5RD

Minutes passed like that —

as if the rain had quietly allowed them to be wet… together.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKD9YGUMbp

Then Zoboriya asked:

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmw5NnT5pv

> “Why did you leave that day, when I wrote in my diary: ‘Maybe now, I’m beginning to understand’?”

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lbxiRRhhK

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH58UCGHvk

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27xf28wb3s

The boy smiled.

His eyes were still soaked — and not just with the rain.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlEjsh3mOY

> “Because I wanted you to have the right

to step out of Abu Zarr’s shadow…

and I didn’t want to be an obstacle in that.”

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYdvQahtpo

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OOVDhPsH1

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcSHFMkU56

> “No,” he said,

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi04wid6gJ

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MJ0A0v3xO

The boy lowered his head. Then gently said:

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHh96L15dz

> “Safwaan.”

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdmNhrWOdI

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGifw7tsMv

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbtvXeNoRK

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPtotyoUtU

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnik2BnzsJt

Zoboriya read the lines:

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkPsUyxNMa

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPtLGYYMme

Zoboriya looked at him — truly, for the first time.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZiH2EejcG

He was no longer a stranger.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZiBoX6ipN

Even his silence now had a voice.

And his presence, though quiet, felt familiar… almost like home.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbCCCpKJqS

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSUjuTnzpn

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILSIVS7tPL

From that day forward,

Zoboriya and Safwaan were often seen together.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtiOmtbJ1H

No confusion.

No forgotten names.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC4mxbLWut

Just a friendship —

not rushing to become love.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZit2lFjtlV

Winter had slowly crept into the university campus.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0UxkOXHje

Falling leaves, quiet tea stalls —

everything looked exactly like the days

when Abu Zarr and Zoboriya would walk the same paths, side by side.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxnPHedT9E

Abu Zarr doesn’t come anymore —

but oddly enough, he’s all everyone still talks about.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVjPzra1sF

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLL90lbc6U

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5e8jxekSe

But no one really knows.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdUKwD9hit

Because Abu Zarr was always like that —

more present in his absence, than in his presence.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp1tg8pHlC

---

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4MWapbOQw

He was the merchant of silences —

the one who never confessed his love,

Now, Zoboriya sits alone in the library.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH3hoI2ku9

A chair remains empty across from her.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ835P2UMbjf

Sometimes she places a book there —

as if Abu Zarr might show up and start reading silently.

Safwaan is still around.

He understands her silences.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27nfevT8AZ

But he knows —

he may be the last page of her story,

but Abu Zarr was her very first ink.

Some nights, a single line wakes Zoboriya:

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbbaYISPPp

> “Does Abu Zarr still walk through the same alley?”

“Has he ever tried to read someone else?”

“Or is he still frozen… at the exact place we left each other?”

Some professors still say:

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZxothtcYQ

> “Abu Zarr was an unknown poet —

the kind who loved just one girl…

and stayed silent for her.”

Maybe that was his truest form of love —

to never say anything, and yet… say everything.

Zoboriya never forgot him.

She never could.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkfqHnRfp4

Because some loves don’t need names —

they live on in prayers.

And when someone asks her about Abu Zarr —

she just says:

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOCnGEp40j

> “He was my answer —

the one I kept finding in every silence.”

Let me know if you'd like the next chapter:

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSVvksfrKv

A secret letter from Abu Zarr?

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE8uWnxbbP

Zoboriya accidentally finding him again?

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtytZqDdwP

Or perhaps a final moment… where he finally speaks?
