"The Space Between Two Heartbeats"
The night was still the same — deep, unmoving — Safwan sat by the window. The cigarette had burned out, but the smoke still lingered in his eyes.
Over at the hospital, AbuZarr’s smile was slowly deepening. He was staring at the ceiling — the same ceiling where he used to see the shadow of death every day — but today, for the first time, a flicker of hope shimmered there.
He whispered softly:
“I will live…”
His voice was so calm, like an unnamed man quietly smiling while climbing out of his own grave.
"A Silent Letter to Zoboriya"
Safwan placed a sheet of paper on the table, picked up a pen, and began to write:
**“Zoboriya…18Please respect copyright.PENANA2FtrMWA5FN
18Please respect copyright.PENANAMeb21QowIQ
Maybe you’ll never read this.18Please respect copyright.PENANABeHrL4JN0l
18Please respect copyright.PENANAWG6I144o8a
But if your heart ever glances back for even a moment, just know — there was someone who saw his whole life in your silence.18Please respect copyright.PENANA9Dqm7ttP6N
18Please respect copyright.PENANA8N64OZLSIQ
I won't stop you anymore...18Please respect copyright.PENANA2kyeeevDk7
18Please respect copyright.PENANAnIRnbrOZ42
But this letter is for that love which was never spoken, yet never ended.
— Safwan”**
He folded the letter and tucked it inside a book.
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
Safwan looked up — it was a postman, holding a small envelope.
“A letter for you, sir.”
Safwan was surprised. On the envelope was a single word — “Safwan,” with a tiny signature underneath — Zoboriya’s.
"From AbuZarr’s Window..."
On the other side, AbuZarr opened his window. Fresh air entered, playing with his hair.
He looked outside for the first time, as if life was calling him back again.
“Now I can live again...” he told himself. “Maybe now I can love again… without the fear of having to leave.”
Just then, a nurse walked in — she held a small note in her hand.
“This just came for you,” she said.
AbuZarr opened the note:
“If life has given you another chance, then hold on to it —18Please respect copyright.PENANAAv7JX1brEp
18Please respect copyright.PENANAKh28QRHik0
Because somewhere, a heart might still beat only for you.18Please respect copyright.PENANAeJJCLlp4aK
18Please respect copyright.PENANARkpTqrkLCs
— Zoboriya”
"Now the Stories Are About to Collide…"
AbuZarr was stunned.
Zoboriya? Was she Safwan’s Zoboriya? Or a ghost from his own past?
And on the other side, Safwan too held a letter from the same girl.
Now this love, this time, this journey of souls — would soon collide at a turning point.
One had lost his love, the other had reclaimed his life…
But Zoboriya? Where was she?
Would she return?
Or just remain a name… in memories?
"Zoboriya’s Resolve"
Night had fully descended with its silence. It was dark outside, but Zoboriya’s heart was glowing — with the light of belief.
She was standing outside AbuZarr’s room. Her hands were trembling, but her eyes were steady.
She knocked gently.
A soft voice from inside: “Who is it?”
“It’s me… Zoboriya.”
There was silence, and then the door slowly opened.
AbuZarr stood there — dark shadows beneath his eyes, his face weary — but in his gaze, he seemed to see the face of his hopes. He was about to speak, but Zoboriya took a step closer.
“I know everything now...” her voice quivered. “Your illness… your distance from me… I understand it all now.”
AbuZarr lowered his eyes.
“Zoboriya… I never wanted to trap you in this pain. I only ever prayed for you.”
“But I don’t want to be just your prayer anymore — I want to be your companion.”
AbuZarr looked up suddenly — in his eyes, for the first time, a spark of courage.
“You know this path won’t be easy?”
“I know,” she smiled. “But love that only survives in ease is not true love. I want you — with your illness, your pain, and your fears.”
AbuZarr’s eyes welled up.
He sat silently in front of Zoboriya — like a man in sacred prostration.
“Are you truly ready to walk with me on this difficult road of life?”
Zoboriya held his hand.
“Let’s live now — not just with medicine, but with prayers.”
AbuZarr’s lips moved… but no sound came out.
Zoboriya sat in front of him — so close — and the questions in her eyes pierced deep into his heart.
She continued,18Please respect copyright.PENANACFrgDA2eIP
18Please respect copyright.PENANApahzQEEhJv
“Why did you move away from me, AbuZarr? Didn’t you know, I understood your love?18Please respect copyright.PENANAKJEVgmDViN
18Please respect copyright.PENANABS0qJ9nycc
I know now, the silence you hid behind… that illness you kept from me.”
AbuZarr’s eyes filled with tears. He knew — this was the moment to tell her the truth. His fingers trembled. His lips moved… but the words were lost.
“I’m getting better, Zoboriya...”18Please respect copyright.PENANA50Gv8003Xe
18Please respect copyright.PENANA5MuCiUh1MK
That’s all he wanted to say — but he couldn’t.
Inside, his heart screamed —18Please respect copyright.PENANAa0OMxDLuji
18Please respect copyright.PENANAwvmViUOoKE
“Zoboriya! My love, I’m returning from the door of death… for you.”
But outside, there was only silence.
Zoboriya held his hands,18Please respect copyright.PENANAX4VdB35Z3H
18Please respect copyright.PENANAnX4vuSWwKP
“AbuZarr, I accept you with your illness. Just say it once… that you never wanted to leave me.”
AbuZarr looked at her.
For the first time, there was a stronger desire to live than to die in his eyes.
“Zoboriya…”18Please respect copyright.PENANANaOpoHPAx1
18Please respect copyright.PENANARlvlXm3awY
He could only say her name.
But in that one word, every ounce of love was poured.
Zoboriya smiled softly.18Please respect copyright.PENANAnZcj1IQXKU
18Please respect copyright.PENANA8sT7AQk7yP
“I understand...”
She placed her hand on his forehead —18Please respect copyright.PENANARq5wMYnx6V
18Please respect copyright.PENANAXEg2aZuVzK
like placing a prayer itself.
