The Same Evening at the Bakery – A Few Days Later

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZVzqAhdlW

The cold had grown sharper.

Outside, a white sheet of snow covered everything.

Inside, in the warmth of the oven,

the air of the bakery felt a little sweet… and a little silent.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8TjKKHayw

Zoboriya stood near the counter.

Steam rose from the cup of coffee in her hands,

but even that steam couldn’t blur

the heaviness in her eyes.

Memories That Won’t Let Go

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FFpGGRHPE

It had been a year since they came to Canada.

The house, the lanes, the haveli—she had left them all behind.

All for one reason—Abuzarr.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUxT4nhkU7

A name that, even in memory,

shattered her heart into pieces.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDp6OT9e1i

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEnOUn5D1n

---

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IX6JjxTFf

Once again,

those same images came back to her—

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJfpqLfu0v

Abuzarr’s smiling face,

the warmth in his words,

and those moments… when she had, without a single doubt,

placed her whole life in his hands.

The Truth of Betrayal

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy89hPVQoSk

Zoboriya pressed her lips together softly.

How many times had she told herself—

"Forget everything, it’s all over."

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN3nwAaf0I

But the heart does not obey.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1CtlpNFlN

> “Why did you hide it, Abuzarr…

You were married.

You had a daughter.

And me?

I was not even a name in your story.”

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbb1LD2pEa

The day the truth came out,

she had fallen apart like a tree

uprooted from its roots.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu1mtlBiZ9

What happened after that

was even more cruel.

The Second Blow

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCemYYStEm

The boy she thought of as a friend,

on whose shoulder she had cried her heart out…

became the very reason for her ruin.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT5B9X8Dbd

He made a false video

and dragged her dignity through the mud

in front of everyone.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX7vdpdWwB

And Zoboriya…

who no longer had the strength to defend herself,

silently left everything behind

and came to Canada with her parents.

The Bakery – Her Refuge

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphbpQDhOXz

In this little town,

she thought that new faces,

new weather,

and new paths

would make her forget everything.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LUpNVphjy

But the truth was—

wherever she went,

the memories of Abuzarr

followed her like a shadow.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrHdIWuYX5

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhCBEa69Zz

---

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejtcZpXk9a

She stirred her coffee slowly

and looked out of the window.

The layers of snow seemed to whisper—

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZgvCC8Cyc

> “If forgetting was so easy,

why would you be here?”

A Mother’s Support

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW8vdYgTCH

That same warm voice came from behind—

"My child…"

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPex2Yu6ax

Zoboriya turned.

It was her mother.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJpYUO5gj5

In her eyes was all the love in the world—

no questions,

only shelter.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1lg7b2yOT

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxjb4M9oVj

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRJwIGuO5Y

Her mother pulled up a chair

and sat down beside her.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi2PYHzMNY

> “Still thinking about the same things today?”

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5EltYyW6O

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ718OYUFU44

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmpqeWpSIk

Zoboriya gave a faint smile.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ34Ni4qSO

> “Ammi…

It isn’t easy to explain to the heart.

This city has changed,

but the part of me that broke…

is still standing where it fell.”

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPokE3WDrD6

Her mother held her hand.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxfWGgXhAK

> “Zoboriya,

some wounds time cannot heal.

But Allah has a plan.

Your life was never meant to stop here.”

The Memory of Abuzarr

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgxPL0xuOs

In that moment,

Zoboriya’s eyes closed on their own.

Her heart whispered,

very softly,

just one name—

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3sphHyYfi

“Abuzarr…”

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2BTfSrr5m

And in that name

there was no anger,

only the love

that had exhausted her soul while she was still alive.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX3JxtkfAe

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vhssxrjpj

---

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF03qQVwE6u

She spoke silently in her heart—

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuwSLLpQPF

> “If only I could forget you.

If only my breath

would stop saying your name

after your betrayal.

But what can I do…

Love does not fade away

just because we want it to.”

The Next Turn

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1NZLGJU0K

Outside, snow kept falling.

Inside, for the first time,

Zoboriya opened her heart

just a little

in front of her mother.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zMLGmmVFT

But how could she know

that in the coming days,

the same bell on that bakery door

would bring in a stranger

who would start writing

a new path

on the torn pages of her heart?

Another Morning in the Same Bakery

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNydSPLwaE

Snow had fallen all night long.

By morning, when the sun rose,

the entire town was buried under a white blanket.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYQouEkfDg

As always, Zoboriya arrived early

and stood behind the counter.

The steam of the coffee machine,

the smell of warm bread,

and the cold air through the window—

all of it had become routine.

The Door Bell

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkXSmnCcEa

Tun…

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl5rmRCAA0

The door opened.

A gust of cold wind entered,

and with it, a new face.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ279zDkpVcT

He must have been about twenty-five or twenty-six—

tall, calm,

a camera hanging around his neck,

and a thin layer of snow on his coat.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLqMMsJtoS

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrzHu4C1Lx

---

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumzY1BpeWD

He walked in slowly,

as though he was taking in

this place for the very first time.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV9J263Nt8

By the time he reached the counter,

he remained silent for a moment.

Then, in a very gentle voice, he said—

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7PyLUJLYM

> “Could I have

the table by the window?

And… a black coffee, please.”

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLUsp3Ys6J

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv2rNYs3Op

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUS6yDAokY

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn3bsA4fMt

---

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfUUhvH9lw

Zoboriya looked at him.

There was a strange stillness on his face,

as if he had already spoken so much

without saying a word.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU8CTbvDgJ

> “Yes,”

she replied softly

and began making the coffee.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1dR87lMy5

The First Question

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1snNrR3387

When she placed the cup in front of him,

he was still looking out the window.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa6wcrXYzz

> “How long has this bakery been here?”

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeSMmdXXI1

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqLsAN2TJ2

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JgU6hDGbq

Zoboriya answered,

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjePnRmz2df

> “Just a year.

A new city, a new everything.”

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYMkBpcX9S

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDvhVnRL6v

He smiled,

“That’s good.

Some places may be new,

but they hold old souls inside.”

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldTPpLGBB5

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3LjFhS99N

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rvRNVFpJI

For the first time,

Zoboriya looked at him carefully.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ91PEdGdN6

> “Are you here just to visit?”

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUbRnocrOj

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ehOTOOdIG

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WOiXQBsFc

He hesitated a little—

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqUxmpEZVS

> “You could say that.

I take photographs…

of places

where people leave their sorrows behind.”

Silent Eyes

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPfr6gAMp2

His words

went straight to Zoboriya’s heart.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCPlzg07fm

For the first time,

she wanted to hide her face from a stranger,

because it felt like

he had already read her soul.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ753t5oXAPH

The Stranger’s Name

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8jtnmMniU

After taking the first sip of coffee,

he said softly—

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjpH3LwQ7C

> “By the way…

my name is Ehsan.”

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsshVi018Xd

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aSAKCjtba

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe49JLPAjxJ

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye8P3OUy2S

---

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydaiE5xjLF

Placing his camera on the table, he asked,

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7noiXAjydH

> “And you?

Do you run this bakery alone?”

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYWGyPrQ0W

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLOKaQ8X6M

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmjGmEPJAw

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWhXkimlbR

---

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu4PzeMcPn

Zoboriya stayed silent for a moment,

then said quietly—

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpIdtIPj36

> “Zoboriya.”

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYJA0Uuvf4

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11GrrfJiGY

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx97lQtIIP

And she turned her gaze back to the window.

An Unknown Beginning

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8ePfvLeSS

The same stillness returned to the bakery.

Outside, the snow kept falling.

Inside, the steam kept rising.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3JbyLdcKI

But that day,

for the very first time,

Zoboriya felt that a stranger’s mere presence

could make the weight on her heart

a little lighter.

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOy13HY8HP

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQXPZgOaHV

---

48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsvpiOKxzL

She did not know—

whether Ehsan was just a passerby,

or someone who was about to write

a whole new story

in her broken world.
