rain sipping my coffee and reading a book Suddenly  she walked in shaking the water off her umbrella  

باران فرار کنم و قهوه ام را جرعه جرعه می خواندم و کتابی می خواندم ناگهان او آب را از روی چترش تکان داد.

She looked around for a seat and since the cafe  was full I offered her the empty chair at my table  

We started talking She told me she loved books  just like me and she worked as a graphic designer

کتاب‌ها درست مثل من و او به‌عنوان طراح گرافیک کار می‌کرد

I was amazed by her smile It was the kind of  a smile that made you feel warm inside Even  

از لبخندش شگفت‌زده شدم. این لبخندی بود که باعث می‌شد در درونتان احساس گرمی کنید، حتی

evening under a sky full of the stars I told her  "Emma I think I want to spend my life with you

family her face changed She put down her fork  and said "Daniel I don't think I'm ready for  

kids yet Maybe in a few years." I respected  her decision but deep down I felt disappointed  

شاید در چند سال آینده."

Months passed and Emma seemed distant  She started spending more time outside  

saying she had work meetings or  needed the space to clear her

head She also became very protective of  her phone something she never did before  

One night we were having dinner with  Mark They were laughing and joking

together which was normal since Mark had always  been a part of our lives But something felt off  

The way Emma looked at him was different  and Mark avoided making eye contact with

نحوه نگاه کردن اما به او متفاوت بود و مارک از برقراری ارتباط چشمی با من اجتناب کرد

always I stare at the screen feeling like  the ground had been ripped from under me

به صفحه خیره می‌شوم که انگار زمین از زیرم کنده شده است،

My hands shook as I read it again  and again hoping I had misunderstood  

وقتی دوباره آن را خواندم، دست‌هایم می‌لرزید و دوباره امیدوار بودم که اشتباه متوجه شده باشم،

But there it was plain as day I didn't  call Emma Instead I called Mark "Hey,"  

اما مثل روزی بود که به اما زنگ نزدم، در عوض مارک را صدا زدم "هی"،

I said trying to keep my voice steady  "Can we meet i need to talk to you

سعی کردم صدایم را ثابت نگه دارم.

We met at a quiet park where we used to hang  out as kids When I saw him I couldn't hold

Then she sighed and said "Daniel I'm sorry  I never meant for you to find out like

this." "Find out like this?" I said  my voice trembling "You didn't mean  

for me to find out at all How could  you do this to me Emma i loved you

Today I'm happier than I ever thought I could be  My life is full of people who truly care about
