My Blank Love —

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4X9q5xZbM

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

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMjQhoy7tx

“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.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPmB5lP7Op

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.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxyvKYeuzf

He wanted to stop her.

But Zoboriya just kept walking.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpZM1mjPi5

> “Where are you going?”

“Why are you leaving?”

“Just like that? Without saying a word?”

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXhlUiVfb3

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP12nFzdVGK

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg8ehibMtx

He grabbed her shoulders and turned her to face him.

His voice had grown louder — sharp, shaken.

Some students nearby turned to look.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlvvoN9Yfr

> “Behave yourself, Safwan!”

Zoboriya’s voice was firm — but trembling.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL6LIDnYtl

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfXx8F52Bc

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0YohBytNb

She pulled herself free, taking a step back.

Her face showed no anger — just a quiet exhaustion.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMooBvPXWmh

“Why are you leaving?”

Safwan’s voice had cracked by now.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGohoaML4li

Zoboriya lowered her eyes.

For a moment, there was only silence between them.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqYJqJe7pf

Then softly, she said:

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfbBOCxkQQ

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

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

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOQlcvoCsu

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevmO5DHnbY

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYotcbEVaWd

Zoboriya looked up —

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

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxF50C0ybB

> “Yes,”

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

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

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYFPxHVgtr

Safwan’s eyes welled up —

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

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCv1bOR1Ah

He nodded, then quietly said:

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxofNx6wyD

> “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.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCdDK6eJMZ

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

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

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKY0vNA3RF

She walked away without looking back.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s9KV0mkX5

Left behind stood a boy —

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

but would linger like an unfinished letter…

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj6Hw6F81X

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.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlAtht01lf

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

it was about meeting her own soul.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNJ7ioUWDf

> What she didn’t know…

was that Safwan had begun to love her,

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

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2cMfQI9lk

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQOOBInASt

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYporavCGZ

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

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwOQ3uRGeX

The winters in Turkey were quieter this year.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCbjHRGZpx

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.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXOiAm353E

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkrLgkDgbN

Behind the library, there was an old wooden bench.

Right next to it —

a tea seller still lit his stove every evening.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP7Y13pTyM

Zoboriya stood there again.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYhZk1z3BG

The air smelled familiar —

like paper, fading sunlight… and that tea

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

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjSQkWlGcd

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCidT18UyZ

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmJRoqKp7G

She turned around.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJav7Tc0PI

And there…

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdPLeE8JYx

on the very same bench, someone sat.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDqAnztWr9

Head bowed,

holding that same old book

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

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl9VzK0Uhw

His hair was longer now,

a shawl wrapped around his shoulders,

and those eyes —

those eyes were frozen in the memory of that moment.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytriZVkU9C

Zoboriya held her breath.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aSz7Fj6Pn

she whispered —

as if trying to convince herself it was real.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZpA4K4Edr

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2HlNi6o01

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G9sGlhd1v

The boy stood up.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3zEbhNM9H

Slowly, he walked toward her.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZXPZa6YT5

Still silent.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsrksgjjrV

But in his eyes, the same old sentences floated…

the ones he never got to speak.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiCyFmk2ku

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWdTmm99M9

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK2XuQHsEz

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzLqU3cCfx

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwQIm05NfE

Abu Zarr lowered his head and said softly:

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOPt0PrasJ

> “I thought you would really leave.”

“But this time… I won’t run anymore.”

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd9yf8JrvB

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx6WMZkgCx

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfjtDg4LOx

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcwiKDzmfy

Abu Zarr’s voice cracked like an old page:

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzpLjmTsyZ

But the waiting in your eyes…

I couldn’t bear to break it.”

“Do you still… read me?”

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ4jfg034X

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix7AI65UtI

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9TOnEBMPP

Abu Zarr smiled — faintly.

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnStLPhJNW3

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

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4bDkZWJwn
