My blank love - My blank love Part-45

"Love Beyond the Snow" ❄️💔

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu7qUkIPV8

The snow had finally stopped.

On the white layer settled along the roadside,

their footprints remained —

as though proof that two incomplete stories

had once met here.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdTWulzokB

Ehsan and Gul still stood close,

yet years of distance stretched between them,

like an unspoken wall no one could cross.

The moisture on Gul’s lashes

was slowly drying away,

but her soul was still drenched.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNUaPOaAjc

Ehsan gazed at her for a long time,

as if trying to read

every unsaid word

buried in the depths of her eyes.

Then, softly, he spoke—

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAsc3Ga3x9

“Gul…

if I say let’s forget everything

and go back to where we drifted apart,

would you be willing?”

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yX8L9HwTI

Gul’s eyes trembled.

She looked at him,

but in her gaze lay a weight

far heavier than any human strength could bear.

Her voice quivered as she replied—

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTIXxml2A2

“Go back…?”

She let out a faint laugh,

but in that laugh

echoed the sound of a thousand shattered dreams.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP2bjyfImh

“Ehsan… going back isn’t that easy.

The memories buried beneath the ashes of the years—

touch them even lightly,

and they pierce you like thorns.

You want me to forget everything?

That mansion, those dark rooms,

those muffled sobs, that loneliness…

Do you really think I can forget?”

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRt3G1u3UJ

Ehsan stayed silent.

His breath carried a restless weight,

as though searching for words

but finding none.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHBTVDT5rH

Finally, in a trembling voice, he said—

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxbMPh7XaA

“I don’t want you to forget, Gul.

I only want…

that you don’t carry the weight of those memories alone.

I have shoulders…

I have hands…

I am here. With you.”

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsgZEO0M8L

Tears fell from Gul’s eyes again.

For the first time,

she could hear the sound

of the walls inside her heart collapsing.

But in the very next moment,

her lips spoke a truth

that froze both their breaths.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYU4dNZCoN

“Ehsan…”

she whispered,

“My life is no longer mine alone.

I belong to someone else.

Even though he is no longer in this world,

the shadow of his name

is still etched on my forehead.

And to step out of that shadow…

I don’t have the courage.”

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2m1OyFeeo

Ehsan’s fingers halted midair.

He turned his face away,

as if trying to hide from himself.

The snow beneath his feet

suddenly felt colder than ever.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXpas5kJC9

“So… does this mean…”

his voice cracked,

“…we’ll become strangers again?”

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fKZDxG8lS

Gul looked at him.

Her gaze carried a thousand words,

but her lips stayed silent.

For a while, only the soft rustling of the wind spoke.

Then she whispered—

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxEsu9AX0e

“Not strangers…

Just two people

who once loved deeply,

but could never live that love together.”

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD1D7SE7Ba

Ehsan’s eyes were wet now.

He stepped forward

and gently held her trembling hands.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu4okCStEC

“Gul…

living without you

will be like breathing without air.

But if this is what gives you peace,

then I promise you one thing—

I will keep loving you.

Even if this love

remains locked deep within my soul forever.”

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBkvYPPmld

Gul’s breathing grew heavier.

She didn’t try to pull her hands away.

Her falling tears

kept moistening Ehsan’s fingers.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bRl3DMHFJ

They stood there in silence for a long time.

Under the golden glow of the streetlight,

snowflakes shimmered softly,

as though the heavens were writing

a final prayer just for them.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6PLCyRiJT

Then, suddenly,

the distant sound of the adhan rose in the cold air.

Gul wiped away the dampness from her lashes

and whispered gently—

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EWURyGkNz

“Come, Ehsan…

we should go now.

Before the cold seeps into our bones.”

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYf5b6fQH3

Ehsan looked at her one last time.

In his gaze were a thousand vows,

a thousand silent prayers,

but he said nothing.

He simply nodded

and walked alongside her.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0W3SZj1Yg

But deep inside,

they both knew—

their paths would never

lead to the same destination.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kHduIZ2lT

Never.

"Love Beyond the Snow – The Next Morning" ❄️☕

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFUa5px1L9

The next morning, the sky lay wrapped

in a soft blanket of mist.

The chill in the air still clung

to the narrow streets of the city,

and amidst that quiet cold,

Ehsan found himself once again

inside the same bakery—

the place where once

there was nothing but

the scent of warm bread and fresh coffee.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlvBdQE5B9

But today…

the silence in his heart

was deeper than any fragrance could soften.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj0wEZdqZg

As he opened the door,

the aroma of freshly baked bread

tried to seep into the locked rooms of his heart,

but the heaviness beneath his eyes

made everything feel distant, numb.

He walked to his usual corner table,

beside the window,

where outside,

snowflakes were slowly melting.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDw7MU4Hrx

Yet today, something felt… different.

The same soft hum of the place,

the same quiet music playing in the background,

the same golden warmth of the lights—

but somehow,

everything carried a strange unfamiliarity.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7qrhJZLBj

His gaze, almost unconsciously,

fell upon Zoboriya.

She stood near the counter,

draped in a light brown shawl,

a stray lock of hair

falling onto her cheek,

which she kept tucking back behind her ear.

There was a calm smile on her lips,

a serenity in her face,

as though some invisible weight

had been lifted from her heart.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEwZHOtY0z

Ehsan’s eyes lingered on her for a moment.

He didn’t know why,

but for the first time,

he felt like the walls of this bakery

were holding a quiet happiness

he had never noticed before.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtKKxDPbJB

Zoboriya looked up

and caught his gaze.

Her eyes sparkled faintly,

and she smiled—

a soft, genuine smile

that seemed to travel

straight from her lips

into the deepest corners of his heart.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6WIbqIik5

A few moments later,

she finished her work,

poured two steaming cups of coffee,

and walked straight toward his table.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwRBCujDDX

Placing one cup before him,

she sat down across from him

and softly asked—

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8R911m1oz

“How are you?”

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y1MKXHrlj

Ehsan tried to hide the dampness

settled in his lashes

and forced a smile.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KUw37A4zy

“I’m fine.”

His voice was heavy,

but he tried his best

to make it sound lighter than it was.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN7SmMNtMi

Zoboriya sat quietly,

holding her cup in both hands,

watching the faint fog on the windowpane.

Then she turned toward him

and spoke gently—

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMhNypGQ3o

“Don’t lie, Ehsan.

Your eyes are telling me

you’re not fine.”

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLzD8aFR7T

Ehsan’s fingers rested

against the warm rim of the cup,

lost in the rising steam.

Inside him,

a silence long kept hidden

seemed to be searching for words,

but every syllable

stayed trapped in his throat.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds7lv3XN0R

“Sometimes…”

he whispered,

“…the heart feels so full,

yet there’s nothing left to say.”

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMwr37mYaj

Zoboriya’s gaze softened.

Her eyes held no questions,

no judgments—

only a quiet reassurance,

as though silently saying:

"I’m here… I’ll listen."

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwVXZVbEtu

For the first time in years,

Ehsan felt a warmth

in someone’s presence—

a sense of belonging

he had long forgotten.

Gul’s memories

still clung to his soul,

the nights of muffled sobs

still haunted him,

but sitting across from Zoboriya,

he felt the faintest crack

forming in the walls

he had built around his heart.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqXvXIOYhE

After a pause,

Zoboriya softly asked—

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGjSRXlLEW

“Has this silence

been with you for a long time, Ehsan?”

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKvhYWLV7I

He looked up at her.

There was a trace of wetness in his lashes,

and he made no attempt to hide it.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bI8o02HlX

“Yes…”

he murmured,

“…it’s been there for years.”

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuAodwJPB5

Understanding flickered in her eyes.

She didn’t offer sympathy,

nor hollow words of comfort.

Instead, she quietly pushed her cup toward him.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY92s1LLPk

“Then today…

let’s just drink coffee.

No talking,

no questions.

Just… share the silence.”

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfG6hZ8ab2

A faint softness

settled into Ehsan’s tired eyes.

He accepted the cup,

and with its gentle warmth,

it felt as though

the ice that had gripped his heart

for so long

was finally beginning to melt.

139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2yE49QcIn

Outside,

snow began to fall again.

But this time,

for Ehsan…

it didn’t feel as cold.
