My Blank Love —

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuLmaWFRWh

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

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI6JOahG3d

“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.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMv6IHN5fY

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.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtoASQm5fG

He wanted to stop her.

But Zoboriya just kept walking.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o0gkE4P6Q

> “Where are you going?”

“Why are you leaving?”

“Just like that? Without saying a word?”

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTJOT0P5bn

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97kHWe4xcm

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xGE0jOdbF

He grabbed her shoulders and turned her to face him.

His voice had grown louder — sharp, shaken.

Some students nearby turned to look.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM5i8n6Umz

> “Behave yourself, Safwan!”

Zoboriya’s voice was firm — but trembling.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpqDZEcXVG

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpitiNjMef

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0XQyv9sVR

She pulled herself free, taking a step back.

Her face showed no anger — just a quiet exhaustion.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir70OQyNk1

“Why are you leaving?”

Safwan’s voice had cracked by now.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl0hM00BCo

Zoboriya lowered her eyes.

For a moment, there was only silence between them.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1imnGeEuL

Then softly, she said:

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuXz5jJywS

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

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

Safwan asked.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcG8aso7jX

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrzx9MVrYU

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwubL1dzl0

Zoboriya looked up —

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

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlEm7S0mAu

> “Yes,”

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

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

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPSAfan51O

Safwan’s eyes welled up —

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

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6BeDcNC1R

He nodded, then quietly said:

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6CccSwyuN

> “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.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG7lYjsLVm

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

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

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTgdjyqFwh

She walked away without looking back.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBrRhNg0mE

Left behind stood a boy —

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

but would linger like an unfinished letter…

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2DgLCgiM2

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR19VoDHjg

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpmSoJHg95

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.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmot8nMj5ax

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

it was about meeting her own soul.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6BHn40I1b

> What she didn’t know…

was that Safwan had begun to love her,

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

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Iw7zywGBd

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu1LkOxqMf

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5tdkPMD6s

> “You’re ending my love here, Zoboriya…”

he whispered to himself with trembling lips.

My Blank Love — Part Four

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6AEk5Fpia

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

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0fhoBV3Wq

The winters in Turkey were quieter this year.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScmjkxF0Iw

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.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUC0WRHNYz

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR56mr7WKX5

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod1lCIBS0l

Behind the library, there was an old wooden bench.

Right next to it —

a tea seller still lit his stove every evening.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6inbvwQm2

Zoboriya stood there again.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBsIGmCD18

The air smelled familiar —

like paper, fading sunlight… and that tea

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

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFr5M4OrOI

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNFaG7cDcG

---

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfmbgW4y9M

She turned around.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9MaMYFtXr

And there…

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc0qTXTV8P

on the very same bench, someone sat.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUffpLMSVDf

Head bowed,

holding that same old book

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

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl1Xdmh5oI

His hair was longer now,

a shawl wrapped around his shoulders,

and those eyes —

those eyes were frozen in the memory of that moment.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCBpTtQW2R

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4xI8P9oJb

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8Voc1HEc1

Zoboriya held her breath.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfSiGPVMvt

she whispered —

as if trying to convince herself it was real.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6fjmPwr8p

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaoQlXXYeW

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGd7QloVMF

The boy stood up.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBvuGHU0fy

Slowly, he walked toward her.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS6nEDH3ik

Still silent.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQPiKg00VT

But in his eyes, the same old sentences floated…

the ones he never got to speak.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnlyZbmW55

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK8mu32qcm

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNCS5Fis1f

Zoboriya asked,

her eyes swimming with a thousand questions… and answers.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94sco90z2C

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlLBCuQqRq

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz5g5Z0n6X

Abu Zarr lowered his head and said softly:

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItaukViKuJ

> “I thought you would really leave.”

“But this time… I won’t run anymore.”

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyNQixwlac

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM5Rb2FlMj

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VGr2QV0yZ

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgleXKDOkIW

Abu Zarr’s voice cracked like an old page:

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJs9KTsLvN

> “Because I had nothing to offer you.

But the waiting in your eyes…

I couldn’t bear to break it.”

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8RoSK35Bn

He wanted to say more —

but Zoboriya stopped him.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMJG0pYgLI

> “Just answer one thing, Abu Zarr…”

“Do you still… read me?”

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNTYuNbVWA

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAJweBu7j3

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6clLzzsbsZ

Abu Zarr smiled — faintly.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqISO2WhdK

> “I never stopped reading you, Zoboriya.”

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

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7eJ5h1oMK

This time…

she said nothing.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrInkGhR9Dr

She simply stood beside him.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPo6C75jQs

There was no distance now —

not in words, not in love.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfs9Kjb8jR

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlAdS6FGQx

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx7uMzQcPC

Then suddenly, a sharp gust of wind blew.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxSNo2Khhg

Zoboriya blinked —

and the world around her changed.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2pYNLJ8jJ

She wasn’t with Abu Zarr.

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl032fwWnCY

She was alone, standing near that empty bench.
