“Cracks and Distance”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnA8qoH82Z
The next morning, frost had gathered on the bakery windows.
Zoboriya was cleaning the counter, and the softness of the previous night still lingered on Ehsan’s face.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv60vNztGYO
But the world was not as peaceful.
Abuzar’s restless shadow seemed to seep into every breath.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSONF7uw29
A notification popped up on his phone—
a message from an unknown account:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGcBCZm4J6
> “If you really consider Zoboriya your friend, don’t hide her from me.
She’s a part of my story too.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbCySeQer7
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8j3apC1fR
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45gY1fLb1g
Ehsan stared at the screen. There was no name in the words, but the tone was clear—it was Abuzar.
He deleted the message, took a deep breath, and muttered to himself—
“No… Zoboriya’s past will not shatter her again.”

“Adiba’s Truth”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zFPCr2nVQ
That evening, Adiba came to the bakery again.
But this time, she wasn’t smiling.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY86wF814p
> “Ehsan bhai,” she said softly, “can I share a secret with you?”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fg4ABHbzN
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM1Sobg1XP
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RB8jd8UmY
Ehsan looked at her in surprise.
There was exhaustion in Adiba’s eyes.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsScr2ir9c
> “After Arslan’s accident… my engagement also broke.
The man I was supposed to marry said I was now a burden.
Since then, I haven’t been able to trust people.
But when I saw the friendship between you and Zoboriya… for the first time I felt maybe there’s still truth left in relationships.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dSF6xFA3v
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2v4lbJZWI
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKOCV0B5Ts
Ehsan listened carefully.
He simply said—
“Adiba, a person’s greatest strength is their trust.
Anyone who breaks it… never deserved you in the first place.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dhZXMOBo8
Adiba’s eyes grew moist.
But from a distance, Zoboriya watched the scene—
and a sting lodged itself deeper in her heart.

“Abuzar’s Search”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxTwxiOh8l
Meanwhile, Abuzar hadn’t given up.
He sent messages to some of his friends:
“I have to find Zoboriya, no matter where she is.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcLTVVaO9S
One night, a reply came into his inbox—
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49LUDCa2Rm
> “We saw a bakery tag in Toronto with her name.
Maybe it’s her.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoymEUq2Mh
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKC0de8uYg
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4JHZIR4Ti
Abuzar’s eyes lit up.
“Canada… I was right.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZFTqN6xGT
Now a single thought consumed his mind—
“I cannot rest until I see her with my own eyes.”

“The Hint of Conflict”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDGD4jyVPG
The bakery had now become even livelier with the winter season.
Between the customers’ laughter, the aroma of coffee, and a friendly warmth,
everything seemed bright.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzJKJ3h6AF
But Zoboriya’s face sometimes dimmed.
She couldn’t understand—
would Adiba’s presence make her bond with Ehsan stronger, or create distance?
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5Ia1SvWzg
One evening, Ehsan said to her—
“Zoboriya, why have you gone so quiet?
Do you think… I’ve started ignoring you?”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dYKfeqO5n
Zoboriya lowered her head and whispered—
“Maybe… yes.
Sometimes it feels like I’m just a habit to you.
And habits… are eventually abandoned.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZFIQemI8G
Ehsan held her hand and replied—
“No, Zoboriya.
You are like snow—you fall, but each time you bring new colors to life.
No one can take your place.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg7p8mqRiy
Zoboriya’s eyes welled up.
But just then, her phone lit up with a notification.
A message from Abuzar:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2pyrS00FL
> “Zoboriya, I’m coming to Canada.
I won’t believe you’re okay until I see you in person.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisA3hWBLZp
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5p6FDoxSW
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnrCvh6asJ
Zoboriya’s face turned pale.

She quickly hid her phone.
Ehsan asked—“Is everything alright?”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN5q2kirdN
Zoboriya nodded ‘yes,’
but inside her, a storm was rising.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTTlfqGk69
Because Abuzar wasn’t just her past…
he was also her deepest weakness.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EL0Xx1T5B
And if he truly reached Canada—
both Ehsan and her world could be at risk.

“The Burden of Truth”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIUB1c3XBZ
Zoboriya sat silently in a corner of the room. Her eyes carried a heaviness, as if some secret still weighed on her heart.
Since learning of Abuzar’s arrival, her unease had only grown.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6JWATof2O
Ehsan sat nearby, clearly restless.
He kept glancing at her, as if wanting to say something, but the words stuck in his throat.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQjh5A4YJs
At last, Zoboriya took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice—
“Ehsan… today I must tell you a truth. I can’t carry this burden any longer.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDSNyTg2yV
Ehsan froze.
“What truth?” His voice carried a hint of fear.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjS6o3JJHT
Zoboriya lowered her eyes, her lips trembling.
“Abuzar… his sudden arrival here… it isn’t a coincidence.
He’s not just my past… but a connection I’ve always hidden from you.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iEuURp9nS
Ehsan’s heartbeat quickened. He gently held her hand,
“Zoboriya… say it clearly. Don’t hide anymore.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON10UTjdHi
Tears spilled as the words slipped from her lips—
“Ehsan, Abuzar is the man… who once saved my life.
If he hadn’t come at that time, maybe I wouldn’t even be standing here in front of you today.
His place in my past is no ordinary thing—it’s tied to the very breath I take.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuTwgj705Y
The room grew heavy with silence.
There was shock in Ehsan’s eyes, but instead of anger or blame, there was deep understanding.
Wiping away her tears, he said softly—
“The truth may be late… but you’ve spoken it.
Your past is not my enemy—it’s a part of you.
And I accept every part of you.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCApu65Oo8s
Zoboriya gripped his hand tightly, as if a great weight had finally lifted from her chest.

“The Confession of Fear”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2bZ3g8kMn
Zoboriya and Ehsan sat in silence. The only sounds were the cold wind slipping in from the window and the ticking of the clock.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1oSiwPgsX
Finally, Zoboriya broke the silence with a sigh—
“Ehsan… do you remember, I once told you about Abuzar?”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNW6IGhc00
Ehsan’s brows furrowed. “Yes, I remember. But… why bring him up again suddenly?”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Jt6Kx5tVY
Zoboriya twisted her fingers nervously.
“I only told you he was part of my life.
But what I didn’t tell you… is that Abuzar now knows everything.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhibgNxJtfe
Ehsan’s gaze deepened. “What do you mean, everything?”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIvdCZxzJn
Zoboriya swallowed hard, summoning courage—
“He knows I’m in Canada… and… he’s coming here too.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UGlASCUet
Ehsan’s face hardened, his eyes swirling with questions.
“What? You mean he’s coming here… to meet you?”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIHpvpPJTY
Zoboriya’s anxiety was plain. She nodded slowly.
“Yes… and I didn’t hide this from you—I wanted you to be the first to know.
Because you deserve to know everything.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdOyffdph0
Ehsan stared at her for a long moment, his emotions a storm of anger, shock, and fear.
“Zoboriya… how long has this been going on? Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy9tRxb1I5
Her eyes filled with tears.
“I was afraid… that you might misunderstand me.
But I can’t stay silent anymore.
Abuzar’s arrival could change everything in our lives…”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6CapL9VMS
The room grew heavier still.
Ehsan’s silence felt more frightening than even Abuzar’s looming presence.

“The Bond of Trust”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY8msxwOm1
Ehsan already knew about Abuzar.
Zoboriya herself had told him—because she always considered him her closest friend, she never hid anything from him.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8FzQ27eiC
But one thing Ehsan didn’t know—
was that Abuzar had also found out she was in Canada.
And not only that… he was on his way there.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJEt5Gdsb2
When Zoboriya finally told him this, nervousness clouded her face.
“Ehsan… there’s something more I need to say.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI6AIO2clY
Startled, Ehsan asked, “What is it? Why do you look so worried?”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAKkNah6pS
Zoboriya drew a deep breath and whispered—
“Abuzar… is coming to Canada.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HafDzuyLQ
For a few seconds, silence enveloped them both.
Ehsan looked into her eyes, trying to measure the weight of those words.
He could feel her fear and restlessness.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIpnSpAAZ9
“Listen, Zoboriya,” Ehsan said gently,
“you’re not alone. I’m here with you. Even if he comes, we’ll face him together.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycRC05XOTf
Zoboriya lowered her head, tears gathering in her eyes.
Her greatest comfort was knowing she had a friend she could trust blindly.

“The Beauty of Friendship”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSgEhWBZlf
With a faint smile, Zoboriya said—
“You know, Ehsan, telling you the truth about Abuzar wasn’t easy…
but hiding it brought me no peace either. At least now, my heart feels lighter.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgEJMYH1W1
Ehsan looked at her carefully and replied softly—
“You did the right thing. Truth should always be spoken—otherwise, a person starts breaking inside.
And you’re not like that… you’ve always stood with the truth.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aBFRV2G1X
Zoboriya lowered her gaze, then laughed—
“Oh, don’t give me such a big title. I hide things sometimes too.
The only difference is—I have friends like you, who hold a mirror up to me.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0agqw3pkDw
Ehsan smiled—
“Yes, I’m a mirror… but I fear sometimes the reflection I show might hurt you.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ScXu6CVIc
Zoboriya immediately replied—
“No, Ehsan. A true friend is one who can even speak unpleasant truths without fear.
And anyway… our friendship is so old that even your scolding feels like affection now.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD6jT5gACW
Ehsan nodded gently—
“May this bond always remain, without misunderstandings ever coming between us.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oQAiUaws4
A sparkle lit up Zoboriya’s eyes—
“Misunderstandings only happen when people stop trying to understand each other.
But the beauty of our friendship is that we understand so much without even saying a word.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7mPLn5f6h
Both sat in silence for a few moments.
The cold air drifted in softly, and the comfort of their conversation drew their hearts even closer—
tied together only by the delicate threads of a beautiful friendship.
