One Glance Through the Wind

A mysterious love story from Abu Dhabi to Fujairah


The desert in Abu Dhabi was quiet that evening — too quiet.
The kind of quiet that comes just before something unforgettable.

I was watching the sand dance in the golden hour when she passed.
A woman wrapped in black, her face hidden,
except for her eyes.

And oh… those eyes.

They didn’t just look.
They reached across the air and paused time for one breathless second.

“There are glances that feel like fate disguised as coincidence.”


🌬️ The Wind Remembers

She walked past.
I didn’t follow.
But the wind did.
And with it — her scent.

Something floral, something distant… something that didn’t belong to the desert.
The breeze caught it, carried it —
all the way east.

To the coastline, to the rocks,
to Fujairah.


🗺️ The Silent Search

I traveled, unsure if I was chasing a memory or a mirage.
Days passed. Cities blurred. The desert became mountain,
the air grew heavier — and yet that scent remained.
Always faint. Always just ahead.

People asked,
“Are you looking for someone?”
I only answered:
“No. I’m following a feeling.”


🕌 Fujairah: The Return of the Wind

In the courtyard of an old masjid near the sea,
I saw her again.
Same black abaya.
Same silence.
Same eyes.
But this time…
she stopped.

And this time,
I couldn’t speak.

Only the wind spoke between us.

She smiled — just a little — and whispered without moving her lips:
“Even winds carry love… if the heart listens long enough.”


🌒 Epilogue

I never learned her name.
I never asked.
Some love stories are meant to stretch between places.
Not people.
Between Abu Dhabi’s sand and Fujairah’s stone.

A journey.
A glance.
A scent.
And a heart that still aches when the wind blows just right.


“Some love isn’t lived. It’s felt — like perfume in the air, known only by those who were awake when it passed.”

Absolutely, here’s the updated ending of the story with a respectful disclaimer:
