My Blank Love —

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfsPLPOkh7

“The one who left… but took a piece of me with him.”

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhmPntgZPL

“Zoboriya, what’s wrong with you?”

Safwan was matching her hurried steps, his voice trembling.

But it was as if Zoboriya couldn’t even hear him.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yRzSU82G7

It was the last afternoon on campus.

Sunlight melted across the tall university walls.

Tired eyes of students carried the weight of final submissions.

And Safwan’s eyes — they only held panic and a desperate longing.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUttZblMzjk

He wanted to stop her.

But Zoboriya just kept walking.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVLjStC1on

> “Where are you going?”

“Why are you leaving?”

“Just like that? Without saying a word?”

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmRvdzcChR

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o1alfRIlv

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nYX4sBrfp

He grabbed her shoulders and turned her to face him.

His voice had grown louder — sharp, shaken.

Some students nearby turned to look.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3OyJ1SVRj

> “Behave yourself, Safwan!”

Zoboriya’s voice was firm — but trembling.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qvPo9wIyR

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Aq568jURl

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhlxujroV0

She pulled herself free, taking a step back.

Her face showed no anger — just a quiet exhaustion.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4Gpk371P8

“Why are you leaving?”

Safwan’s voice had cracked by now.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSdNL4pniJ

Zoboriya lowered her eyes.

For a moment, there was only silence between them.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvZRG9LkRP

Then softly, she said:

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnluW05SbW

> “Because even while staying here… I was never whole, Safwan.”

“And now I have to return to the place where I lost myself.”

Safwan asked.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptDmtyTccJ

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExd0BUuBux

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVutTOuzdBn

Zoboriya looked up —

but there was no apology in her gaze. Just truth.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEoxBoa9VU

> “Yes,”

“But not to find him… to find myself.”

“Even without him near me… I could never be away from him, Safwan.”

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIMBF1535b

Safwan’s eyes welled up —

but he didn’t want to appear weak in front of her.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlRzUozg54

He nodded, then quietly said:

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGyUFWusJ3

> “I could never include your name in any of my prayers, Zoboriya…”

“Maybe that’s why… you were never written in my destiny.”

Zoboriya gave a faint smile —

a smile filled with love… and a quiet farewell.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfT9jHI6XB

> “You were my most beautiful silence, Safwan…”

“But now, I need to say something — to myself.”

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktpZIIseJ0

She walked away without looking back.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj3BRcF7M5

Left behind stood a boy —

who wouldn’t remain in her story like a name,

but would linger like an unfinished letter…

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJW1UNdpKY

Zoboriya was returning to India.

To that city where her parents once filled her evenings with warmth.

She didn’t know if she would meet Abu Zarr again.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawADAbQpMU

But this time, it wasn’t about someone’s presence —

it was about meeting her own soul.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH676ZFcD3

> What she didn’t know…

was that Safwan had begun to love her,

and now he felt like everything inside him… was breaking.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPcxo7u4EC

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycKY54cmtU

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY7bCqpp2W

he whispered to himself with trembling lips.

“Where it all ended… that’s where it began again.”

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqad6Di03xt

The winters in Turkey were quieter this year.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfOO8Z6cir

Zoboriya had decided to leave the university —

but before going,

she wanted to visit that old building one last time.

The place where her last unspoken words with Abu Zarr still lingered.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAWKmJaQkI

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXcvPCxs69

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUETOaph4x

Behind the library, there was an old wooden bench.

Right next to it —

a tea seller still lit his stove every evening.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfyboy0fCf

Zoboriya stood there again.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYECwR0ns2

The air smelled familiar —

like paper, fading sunlight… and that tea

Abu Zarr used to bring for her without ever being asked.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYznfzqpS5

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmzXU6moKq

---

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfyo3NduPY

She turned around.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex9JTRJ33V

And there…

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPQhR5cY0o

on the very same bench, someone sat.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIArA7OKEf

Head bowed,

holding that same old book

— the one where Abu Zarr used to fold a page and leave it silently.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWwHSstPvm

His hair was longer now,

a shawl wrapped around his shoulders,

and those eyes —

those eyes were frozen in the memory of that moment.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rEoUlqNMU

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBErn3zSOd

Zoboriya held her breath.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZuTB2VZ9h

she whispered —

as if trying to convince herself it was real.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyJYWulY3c

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j941lR7FD

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HW8DBMSyc

The boy stood up.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfmStzg6Bc

Slowly, he walked toward her.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj6KnNwgrb

Still silent.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yBzwN58Fk

But in his eyes, the same old sentences floated…

the ones he never got to speak.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Epikmeyew

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuucYldl2zl

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQi6XLZVyS

Zoboriya asked,

her eyes swimming with a thousand questions… and answers.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc1QTaFbYI

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmGSwKCgWg

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sj4yALtdj

Abu Zarr lowered his head and said softly:

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqbkZ79epI

> “I thought you would really leave.”

“But this time… I won’t run anymore.”

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLY4RX6xRq

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4WQ6PMjbI

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPfFA2ts50

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeMGvTUWwK

Abu Zarr’s voice cracked like an old page:

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi7Pvx6lhU

> “Because I had nothing to offer you.

But the waiting in your eyes…

I couldn’t bear to break it.”

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdkKcCNn0P

“Do you still… read me?”

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDFKh1o85z

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnPmlS1mjm

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FCQNU5Ozl

Abu Zarr smiled — faintly.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa5dAtSqEV

> “I never stopped reading you, Zoboriya.”

“You lived inside me every day — only my voice got lost.”

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HW0zsQkMH

Zoboriya blinked —

and the world around her changed.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPMOmgBFTa

She wasn’t with Abu Zarr.

371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkP9z4mZHy

She was alone, standing near that empty bench.
