7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1inJ1LT0RG
That entire day, Quily couldn't stop thinking about the letter.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQZTZ1RUNz
"Who is Aaris?" she kept asking herself. The name echoed in her mind over and over again. She remembered every word written in the letter, especially the beautiful poem. That night, sleep refused to come. She lay awake, wondering who the mysterious person behind the letters could be.

The next morning, Quily followed her usual routine. She finished all the household chores and helped her grandmother with the work around the house. As always, she then visited the library, spent hours reading books, and returned home in the evening.

Later that day, her grandmother asked her to fetch water from the old well.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBIbBauVTW
Quily walked towards the well with the water pot. But as soon as she reached the place, she froze in surprise.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR1ni5iCBj
There, resting near the well, was another letter... along with a few fresh sunflowers.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTHpQfaA5q
Curious, she slowly picked up the envelope and opened it.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXzOMCxFzc
Inside was another poem.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZE5Zb7qEO
«Just as flowers bloom with every dawn,
My heart blossoms whenever I think of you.
Not because I wish to claim you,
But because I hope one day, your heart will choose me...»
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GWh1YtKaN
Her heart skipped a beat.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kDDeT1ZiH
At the bottom of the letter, just like before, were the words:
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PG3UkyFTn
— Your Beloved, Aaris
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj6hFEKdBV
Quily was stunned.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBLiM548HJ
"Who could be doing this?" she whispered to herself.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbjVvQts76
Lost in thought, she took the letter with her and unknowingly walked back home without collecting the water.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcM5dB26t6
Her grandmother immediately noticed.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7XU1wH3cn
"Quily, what happened? I asked you to bring water. Why did you come back empty-handed?" she asked.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8gSPUODuL
Only then did Quily realize she had completely forgotten about the water.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a7CMuK8ZL
Embarrassed, she hurried back to the well.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcPWP1yxbG
As she reached the place again, something unusual caught her attention.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMtU9eAUfT
A few delicate rose petals were scattered near the well.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmey4L3fv5
She was certain they hadn't been there before.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiZv9Aue9P
She quietly observed them for a moment, wondering who had left them behind. Then she filled the water pot and returned home, carrying both the water and the mystery in her heart.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOBp6ohbi7
The next day, as usual, Quily went to the well to fetch water.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCnEdZ9qbV
To her surprise, another letter and a fresh bunch of sunflowers were waiting for her.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG1VV2qFWj
A smile slowly appeared on her face as she picked up the letter and unfolded it.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCPQMjISon
Inside, she read:
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXq71g0wRC
«The moment I first saw you,
Time itself seemed to stand still.
Since then, in every dream I have,
Your face has become my sunrise.»
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H554QEAu8
At the bottom, the familiar signature appeared once again:
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRvnd0s0BS
— Your Beloved, Aaris
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO8GiQej7S
This time, instead of being frightened or confused, Quily couldn't help but smile.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PUrrDMVA7
A soft blush spread across her cheeks.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxht4pdVT8
Holding the letter close to her heart, she quietly collected the water and walked back home, unable to stop thinking about the mysterious stranger named Aaris.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrvcEuhRX6
