My Blank Love —

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MsKbiJuD8

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

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXvYCKvMxl

“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.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn3ZBc1OYT

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.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ3NIOzXFY

He wanted to stop her.

But Zoboriya just kept walking.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcF8Gzxo1q

> “Where are you going?”

“Why are you leaving?”

“Just like that? Without saying a word?”

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnAKpv9hcc

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEga3Ud1sWC

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViO4cQPV2R

He grabbed her shoulders and turned her to face him.

His voice had grown louder — sharp, shaken.

Some students nearby turned to look.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2vlWF4w32

> “Behave yourself, Safwan!”

Zoboriya’s voice was firm — but trembling.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDCzInZzPY

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9RJ2K0My6

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XeSe29ieB

She pulled herself free, taking a step back.

Her face showed no anger — just a quiet exhaustion.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcugfDvmcq

“Why are you leaving?”

Safwan’s voice had cracked by now.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvalCs5iuX

Zoboriya lowered her eyes.

For a moment, there was only silence between them.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsSHItcO0u

Then softly, she said:

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasvdkoCzCC

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

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

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXdzX2pApW

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9iGqIciY8

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFDAI7BLGD

Zoboriya looked up —

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

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91POg1IZQx

> “Yes,”

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

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

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxTq8kfyh9

Safwan’s eyes welled up —

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

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aiUtAqZKM

He nodded, then quietly said:

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwcKb6UMSN

> “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.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO5plRg71T

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

She walked away without looking back.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiiLyyKk45

Left behind stood a boy —

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

but would linger like an unfinished letter…

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmi4a84njI

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeJbvdNXaq

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Svql4MzRK

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.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2abITX5r1g

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

it was about meeting her own soul.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gonJGjYRX

> What she didn’t know…

was that Safwan had begun to love her,

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

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4L1JccWPx

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq8AXRxIQe

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh96irnlHi

he whispered to himself with trembling lips.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFOQMuTy1q

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

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbiZQhmPnh

The winters in Turkey were quieter this year.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMMb1PfKj3

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.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7QGyB0kew

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVBO6rMmLR

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOngIyhnR6

Behind the library, there was an old wooden bench.

Right next to it —

a tea seller still lit his stove every evening.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpbydA4kG7

Zoboriya stood there again.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3lLDLraYY

The air smelled familiar —

like paper, fading sunlight… and that tea

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

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5SLabdbEL

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSky63zxSML

---

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMjELFd9np

She turned around.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWJZjlTaCz

And there…

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI35qwbTyiC

on the very same bench, someone sat.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjChHd56uK

Head bowed,

holding that same old book

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

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ci6acHGyG

His hair was longer now,

a shawl wrapped around his shoulders,

and those eyes —

those eyes were frozen in the memory of that moment.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgNe3Zz6cL

Zoboriya held her breath.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTegnozBTn

> “Abu Zarr?”

she whispered —

as if trying to convince herself it was real.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVAPbwMYLS

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89v1Iv5SXG

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzsS2SqI2P

The boy stood up.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WxxLAA2q5

Slowly, he walked toward her.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqutbPuR3cm

Still silent.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvzXfWoO1d

But in his eyes, the same old sentences floated…

the ones he never got to speak.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5aw5UNoNe

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD9iAGKcC8

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBKvDsiuch

Zoboriya asked,

her eyes swimming with a thousand questions… and answers.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyVmANVDRH

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhdMzyq6g9

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3ljooRn4j

Abu Zarr lowered his head and said softly:

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1YXMAbu9R

> “I thought you would really leave.”

“But this time… I won’t run anymore.”

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9wzWCrHSo

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kJjPBebcM

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkOJoYf8Wy

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeNbVqYx7H

Abu Zarr’s voice cracked like an old page:

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDZBJHrRkG

> “Because I had nothing to offer you.

But the waiting in your eyes…

I couldn’t bear to break it.”

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeVdwjqWvo

but Zoboriya stopped him.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQuazsZedn

> “Just answer one thing, Abu Zarr…”

“Do you still… read me?”

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjBL8kk3ef

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo38rQdV9LE

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysJEXiQP93

Abu Zarr smiled — faintly.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtIq3usbrE

> “I never stopped reading you, Zoboriya.”

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

she said nothing.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQSts26jcq

She simply stood beside him.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm6bZdoifj

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcxkIGuZkG

Then suddenly, a sharp gust of wind blew.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDMScEf3rx

Zoboriya blinked —

and the world around her changed.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraumcSOEZt

She wasn’t with Abu Zarr.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gJufTIxxg

She was alone, standing near that empty bench.
