11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxAdIo2Vmr
That entire day, Quily couldn't stop thinking about the letter.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIGgqyFnaV
"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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlTUMISZrW
Quily walked towards the well with the water pot. But as soon as she reached the place, she froze in surprise.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zQnwB2gIO
There, resting near the well, was another letter... along with a few fresh sunflowers.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbjyDKbmTp
Curious, she slowly picked up the envelope and opened it.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYMoTushXb
Inside was another poem.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiryhEfSWVH
«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...»
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL5nDuJrUE
Her heart skipped a beat.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlsBVzCgXq
At the bottom of the letter, just like before, were the words:
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWmLG3S9WF
— Your Beloved, Aaris
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjNhXoP5WP
Quily was stunned.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hbd6JOvDj
"Who could be doing this?" she whispered to herself.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQFy5VIfE0
Lost in thought, she took the letter with her and unknowingly walked back home without collecting the water.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNDg5e2PAi
Her grandmother immediately noticed.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjBJO4HeQa
"Quily, what happened? I asked you to bring water. Why did you come back empty-handed?" she asked.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OUr0MTKY3
Only then did Quily realize she had completely forgotten about the water.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoo85DsWzP
Embarrassed, she hurried back to the well.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO6q37PdaQ
As she reached the place again, something unusual caught her attention.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GZ82yLcpF
A few delicate rose petals were scattered near the well.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVI533Nro0
She was certain they hadn't been there before.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRoAYzesu6
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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbp9XQ3p5b
The next day, as usual, Quily went to the well to fetch water.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcxlLNyTuX
To her surprise, another letter and a fresh bunch of sunflowers were waiting for her.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl0wIAyhJP
A smile slowly appeared on her face as she picked up the letter and unfolded it.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E8JRTX4Rb
Inside, she read:
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD4xhtmBbz
«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.»
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYloXpbRmyV
At the bottom, the familiar signature appeared once again:
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpGUPlaeQD
— Your Beloved, Aaris
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8oq8T28GO
This time, instead of being frightened or confused, Quily couldn't help but smile.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQVygf6FrC
A soft blush spread across her cheeks.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGdyyL4Fya
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13JqsxP0eb
