My Blank Love —

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo4gEq79tq

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

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnGqytOXzS

“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.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES3i3J7S3l

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.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6TDM6YS7O

He wanted to stop her.

But Zoboriya just kept walking.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWBwR9uI25

> “Where are you going?”

“Why are you leaving?”

“Just like that? Without saying a word?”

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrCFgxI2kb

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41l71oLpmJ

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2itisniT1G

He grabbed her shoulders and turned her to face him.

His voice had grown louder — sharp, shaken.

Some students nearby turned to look.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fGJ5HW6Hj

> “Behave yourself, Safwan!”

Zoboriya’s voice was firm — but trembling.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V15P12100

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUfesfj88Q

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgLIfwbaud

She pulled herself free, taking a step back.

Her face showed no anger — just a quiet exhaustion.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jzxCR4rpv

“Why are you leaving?”

Safwan’s voice had cracked by now.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tIMx8Uy0I

Zoboriya lowered her eyes.

For a moment, there was only silence between them.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALngXMMEmm

Then softly, she said:

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk48L9R7jlu

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

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

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO4PdgdEW1

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6JTuHBh9N

Zoboriya looked up —

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

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkhFfvlQNe

> “Yes,”

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

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

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL9hvkTbOW

Safwan’s eyes welled up —

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

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLzm09uNp1

He nodded, then quietly said:

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE0diUtqzF

> “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.

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

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeTWPK5Yy4

She walked away without looking back.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb3oBp5zc9

Left behind stood a boy —

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

but would linger like an unfinished letter…

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPHKpHSvNy

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.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGKzYfimpj

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

it was about meeting her own soul.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DScOwYNIk

> What she didn’t know…

was that Safwan had begun to love her,

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

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneCycX8IzY

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5joffjRz0

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWETcfr2LmW

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

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IPieDSc5X

The winters in Turkey were quieter this year.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbA6T0vVUo

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.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzMZBDEiGk

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV2EDNzjBn

Behind the library, there was an old wooden bench.

Right next to it —

a tea seller still lit his stove every evening.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagSRDqC1hJ

Zoboriya stood there again.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXPFpLi8AR

The air smelled familiar —

like paper, fading sunlight… and that tea

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

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfc9bIqgQV

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY3rPo1xXJ

---

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq7ROiTveV

She turned around.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoLTe3snXd

And there…

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSovywbBK2v

on the very same bench, someone sat.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud6WFDecqk

Head bowed,

holding that same old book

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

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTE2rGp6jY

His hair was longer now,

a shawl wrapped around his shoulders,

and those eyes —

those eyes were frozen in the memory of that moment.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7G7rZ18DE

Zoboriya held her breath.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4twlFYGTO

she whispered —

as if trying to convince herself it was real.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2195EPgg2F

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBhYJd4elw

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbb13TLSeu

The boy stood up.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92Thng9wGs

Slowly, he walked toward her.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9t3Rg2wxB

Still silent.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jks0pNiuu

But in his eyes, the same old sentences floated…

the ones he never got to speak.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgzg9xKkxo

Zoboriya asked,

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuqt2H8inx

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUaS8O7e89

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmnTWM808Q

Abu Zarr lowered his head and said softly:

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzTQQXX351

> “I thought you would really leave.”

“But this time… I won’t run anymore.”

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf5iZY3yP1

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfMve4lLLK

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3w6Nrg5Q2

Abu Zarr’s voice cracked like an old page:

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWuv1P946Q

I couldn’t bear to break it.”

“Do you still… read me?”

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CtKyDSL92

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUzlUgUdF6

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAwnlAtZ3Y

Abu Zarr smiled — faintly.

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0JWlZPqPX

> “I never stopped reading you, Zoboriya.”

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

Zoboriya blinked —

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDawEKjbVgs

She wasn’t with Abu Zarr.
