• From his vantage point, Erdem watched as Nesta’s smile, genuine and vibrant, graced her lips. Her laughter, like delicate music, danced through the air, captivating everyone in its wake. It was a mesmerizing sight, yet it stirred within him a profound longing. He yearned to bridge the gap that separated them, to approach her with open arms and whisper the words that had echoed through his restless mind all night. But a silent conflict raged within Erdem's soul. He understood that love meant allowing the other person to find their own happiness, even if it meant relinquishing his own desires. He knew that true love required selflessness, and at this moment, he found himself torn between the two. The conflicting emotions entwined like vines, intertwining his heart and mind in an intricate dance.

He marvelled at the delicate grace with which she handled each flower, her touch imbuing the petals with an otherworldly tenderness. It was as if she held the secret to breathing life into dormant souls, resurrecting hope, and beauty with each arrangement. In the depths of his being, Erdem knew that Nesta deserved happiness—undeniable, unadulterated happiness. And yet, his love for her burned with an intensity that consumed his every thought, his every breath. How could he deny the longing in his heart, the burning ache that whispered her name in the quietest of moments?
• As the day unfolded, Erdem remained in his silent observation, his presence known only to the flowers and the hushed whispers of his own thoughts. He watched as Nesta’s smile bloomed like the petals surrounding her, her laughter like the sweet fragrance that filled the air. He couldn't help but imagine what it would feel like to step out from the shadows, close the distance between them and embrace her once more. Yet, despite the storm of emotions swirling within him, Erdem found solace in the knowledge that Nesta was happy. Even if it meant that he must endure the ache of longing, he silently vowed to be the guardian of her happiness, even if it lay beyond the boundaries of their shared love.
