00:00Now think of your mother. I hope she is alive and well.
00:04Imagine your mother married the man she loved, your father, a man who had nothing but honesty and pure love for her.
00:11Even your mother's wedding dress can be a borrowed wedding dress.
00:15You will find a piece of your own life in this emotional story.
00:19If you're ready, we can move on to our story. I hope you enjoy it. Happy viewing.
00:30The wind howled as it blew between the stone houses nestled against the mountainside.
00:35As the first rays of morning light fell on the narrow paths of the village, the young man who lived alone,
00:41He was closing his goats in the pen and adjusting the woolen cardigan on his back.
00:46This mountain village was both his home and his destiny.
00:50In this quiet, cold, and secluded village, it had stood alone for years.
00:56Neither a mother's voice echoed in the house, nor did a father's shadow fall upon the wife.
01:02He had spent the first half of his life as an orphan, and the second half in silence.
01:07This morning was different from other mornings. There was a tightness in her chest that she couldn't describe.
01:13Just as the goats had emerged from the pen, the sound of a car was heard coming from the hill above the village.
01:19Dust rose, and the birds were startled.
01:21The man who arrived was the construction worker who visited the village every summer.
01:26Although its urban appearance clashes with the stones of the village,
01:30He was someone everyone respected, someone everyone had known since childhood.
01:35The young man was sitting on a wooden bench in the garden, drinking tea.
01:39She understood who had arrived, but she couldn't make sense of their visit.
01:44The man got out of the car and smiled.
01:46He unbuttoned his jacket and walked over to his old friend.
01:50"If you have any tea, I came to drink it," he said.
01:53The young man showed them where to sit.
01:55He gave her the stool he was sitting on.
01:57It's always there, he said.
01:59They were silent for a while.
02:00The wind knocked down the branches.
02:02The sounds of goats echoed from afar.
02:05Then the man who worked in construction joined the conversation.
02:09I heard you want to get married, he said.
02:12The young man seemed embarrassed.
02:14He averted his eyes.
02:16She lowered her head as she refilled the tea.
02:18I want.
02:19But who would accept this life, he said.
02:23The man chuckled a little.
02:25Maybe someone will.
02:26Perhaps someone far away.
02:28I know a family in Azerbaijan.
02:30They have daughters.
02:31Moral, honest.
02:33His family too.
02:34A few years ago, someone told me,
02:36They said, "If there's a good man in Türkiye, we'll give our daughter to him."
02:40No one came to mind at the time.
02:42"You've arrived now," he said.
02:43The young man flinched.
02:46Me? he said.
02:48"You," said the man.
02:49It will be you.
02:50You have no bad habits.
02:52You are hardworking.
02:53You are alone.
02:54That's exactly what they want.
02:56But I also said this.
02:58They are not easily persuaded.
02:59Especially when they hear about the village life you're living.
03:03The young man averted his eyes.
03:06She smiled, but inside she was caught between hope and fear.
03:11"We'll go," said the man.
03:13You will meet.
03:14If it doesn't work out, you can come back.
03:16What do you have to lose anyway?
03:18That night, the young man looked at the sky.
03:21The stars shone as if whispering to the heart of an orphaned child.
03:25Hope had never been so close.
03:27But at the same time, it seemed impossible to reach.
03:30A week later, they crossed the borders and headed towards Azerbaijan.
03:36Mountains were crossed one after another.
03:38The signs have been changed.
03:40The languages ​​got mixed up.
03:41But the silence continued.
03:44The young man didn't speak much during the journey.
03:47It included everything.
03:49For the first time in his life, there was a possibility that he could fall in love with a woman.
03:52But still, he didn't dare think about it.
03:56When they were welcomed in Azerbaijan, they were in a warm home.
04:01There was a large family.
04:03The brothers were sitting on the chairs.
04:06Reyhan's father was glancing at the young man out of the corner of his eye.
04:10She wondered why this young man, who had traveled so far, was so quiet.
04:15Reyhan was in the corner of the room.
04:18She glanced at the young man from under the edge of her headscarf.
04:21Something happened in both of their hearts at that moment.
04:24A silent, unsettling, penetrating intimacy.
04:28When Reyhan looked into the young man's eyes
04:31In those eyes, he saw the weariness of a mountain, but also its unwavering stance.
04:37The young man felt the warmth he had been searching for all these years in Reyhan's eyes.
04:43The silence deepened during dinner.
04:47Reyhan returned to her father.
04:49"I want to go to Türkiye with him," she said.
04:53The forks were left on the table.
04:55Everyone fell silent.
04:57Her mother lowered her eyes to the ground.
04:59Their brothers didn't even look at them.
05:02His father nodded.
05:04You grew up in the city, Reyhan.
05:06You don't know what it is yet.
05:08Waking up at four in the morning,
05:10You wouldn't know what it's like to herd goats in the snow and ice.
05:13"The boy is good, very good, honest, clean, but you can't do it there," he said.
05:18Reyhan got up from the table.
05:20There was determination in her eyes.
05:23"I will do it," he said.
05:24Preparations were completed within a week.
05:27Reyhan's dowry was packed into chests.
05:30She didn't even have a wedding dress.
05:31The young man had no money to pay.
05:34The mother of the author of our story in Türkiye, upon learning about Reyhan and the young man's situation,
05:39She took out the wedding dress she had put away in a chest years ago.
05:42This was the wedding dress she had taken down, knowing she wouldn't have a son.
05:46She won't be my daughter-in-law; I kept her hidden so she could see better days.
05:51"Let Reyhan wear it," he said.
05:53And Reyhan had come to Türkiye as a bride wearing a borrowed wedding dress.
05:58And so, the name of our story became "The Borrowed Wedding Dress."
06:01The weather was foggy the day they arrived at the village.
06:04The mountains were shrouded in mist.
06:07The rain had just stopped.
06:09The soil was heavy and wet.
06:11When the young man got out of the car, he turned his eyes towards the mountains.
06:15The bride beside her lifted her head and looked around.
06:19This place was an unknown to him.
06:22Stone houses, muddy roads, chimneys smelling of smoke.
06:26Everything was foreign, yet it was also incredibly peaceful.
06:29When they opened the door, the smell of earth and wood wafted from inside.
06:34The stove was burning.
06:35It was a house with whitewashed walls, a low ceiling, and small windows.
06:40Reyhan took off her shoe as she stepped onto the threshold.
06:43And he hesitated for a moment.
06:46Then she smiled.
06:47He entered with his head bowed.
06:50Their first nights were filled with the sound of the crackling stove.
06:53The young man was tired.
06:55Reyhan remained silent.
06:57She had a fear of waking up in a stranger's house.
07:00But when he laid his head on the pillow that night
07:02He found a strange sense of peace in the smell of wood that reached his nose.
07:06He woke up the next morning to the sound of a rooster crowing.
07:09Her eyelids turned pale.
07:11He was cold.
07:12The young man had already woken up and taken the goats away in the net.
07:16Reyhan opened the window.
07:18You still hadn't gotten up.
07:20The mountains were silent.
07:22He slowly opened the lid to learn how to put wood in the stove.
07:26He stirred the embers.
07:27Then he went outside.
07:29He watched his wife.
07:30The young man bent down, giving water to the goats.
07:33They had scars on their hands.
07:35Reyhan thought about how hardworking those hands were.
07:39The first few days were difficult.
07:41Water was being drawn from the well.
07:43Water was heated in a cauldron to wash clothes.
07:45The market was far away, and the roads were muddy.
07:48But Reyhan didn't complain.
07:50He learned something new every day.
07:52Milking goats, making yogurt, chopping wood.
07:56One evening, as she sat quietly by the stove, the young man looked at her.
08:02"Are you having difficulty?" he asked.
08:04Reyhan shook her head from side to side.
08:07No.
08:08But it will take time for me to get used to it, he said.
08:11The young man fell silent.
08:12He looked at the stove.
08:13Then he took a bracelet out of his pocket.
08:16She was very thin.
08:17It was a simple gold ring.
08:19He placed it in Reyhan's palm.
08:21I couldn't get it.
08:22Now it's done.
08:23"It's small, but it's yours," he said.
08:25Reyhan stroked the bracelet with her fingers.
08:29Her eyes welled up with tears, but she said nothing.
08:31She smiled.
08:32Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months.
08:35Reyhan's skin darkened in the sun.
08:38Her hair began to smell of the mountains.
08:41He started waking up before his wife in the mornings.
08:43His voice grew louder as he called out to the goats.
08:46He had memorized the routes by now.
08:48He was a villager now, too.
08:49When their first son was born, the whole village gathered at the house.
08:53Reyhan gave birth to the child in great pain.
08:56The young man prayed in front of the door.
08:59Her eyes filled with tears when she heard the sound of a crying baby.
09:02Reyhan was tired, but she was smiling.
09:05It was as if all their loneliness, all their weariness, had vanished at that moment.
09:10Years have passed.
09:12His second son was born, then his third son.
09:15Reyhan was no longer a stranger in the village, she had become a mother.
09:19Their hands were calloused, but their eyes held love.
09:22He herded goats, carrying his own sons on his back.
09:26On the snow-covered hills, she walked with the children on her back and the goats in front.
09:31When the young man came home every evening,
09:33Reyhan would be at the door.
09:34His clothes were covered in dirt, but his face was radiant.
09:38One day the young man said he was going fishing.
09:41As always.
09:43He left early in the morning.
09:44With a basket in his hand and a fishing rod on his back.
09:47Reyhan leaned against the window.
09:49She watched him go.
09:51There was a slight unease within her, but she didn't say anything.
09:54That day the weather was clear at first, then foggy.
09:58The wind picked up.
10:00Reyhan spent time with the children.
10:02She made yogurt.
10:03He made cheese by fermenting it.
10:05He pulled the goats with a net.
10:06Evening came, but the young man did not arrive.
10:09Reyhan turned to the window.
10:11He looked at the door.
10:12A heavy feeling settled inside me.
10:14He immediately ran to the neighbor's.
10:16He left but didn't come back, he said.
10:19Relatives gathered.
10:21We went to the stream.
10:22The muddy waters were examined.
10:24Hearts trembled in the moonlight.
10:26The young man was not found that night.
10:29In the morning, his basket was found in the stream, then his body.
10:31He had swallowed water.
10:33She had left silently, without saying goodbye to anyone.
10:37Reyhan knelt down.
10:39She didn't scream.
10:40She didn't cry.
10:42He simply bowed his head and didn't move for a long time.
10:46The sons would never see their father's face again.
10:49Reyhan was no longer just a bride, but a single mother.
10:54But he didn't give up.
10:54He lifted his sons onto his back.
10:57He herded his goats.
10:58She milked the cows.
10:59She made cheese.
11:01The children have started school.
11:03Reyhan juggled three jobs in one day.
11:05He sold milk in the morning.
11:07She cleaned at lunchtime.
11:09He sold cheese in the evening.
11:10Years later, everyone knew Reyhan as the shepherdess.
11:15But no one knew that she lived in the mountains, nor that she lost her love in the stream.
11:20The house was left completely empty after the young man left.
11:24When the door was ajar, loneliness entered.
11:27The stove now crackled mournfully.
11:30Reyhan would get up early every morning and leave without waking the children to take the goats to the pen.
11:37She had to raise all three of her sons.
11:40No one offered to help him.
11:43In the first few months, everyone in the village looked at Reyhan with pity.
11:46But then those glances gave way to silence.
11:50No one wanted to stay with a widow for long.
11:55The women were cautious, the men were distant.
11:58Reyhan, however, kept her head down and went about her work.
12:01She spent the day taking the goats up into the mountains, and in the evening, she would return with food for her children.
12:08He repaired the house's window, put in the roof, and installed a pipe for the stove with his own hands.
12:13Whispers in the village grew louder over time.
12:16Some said she became a widow at a young age but stood tall.
12:21Some say only women are sharp-eyed.
12:24Reyhan didn't respond to any of these.
12:27His only concern was his children.
12:29Educating them meant giving them a future.
12:32She went to the young man's grave every week.
12:34He sat by the grave for a long time.
12:37He didn't speak.
12:38But when he looked at the ground, there was determination on his face, not sadness.
12:43One day his eldest son fell ill.
12:45There was no doctor in the village.
12:47Snow had enveloped the mountains in the night.
12:49But Reyhan lifted her child onto her back.
12:52After walking for hours through the snow, he reached the nearest health center.
12:56Their feet were frozen.
12:58Her hands were ice cold.
12:59But she didn't abandon her child.
13:01That night, she fell asleep wrapped in a blanket beside her child in the waiting room of the health center.
13:08When the nurse arrived in the morning, Reyhan was still awake.
13:12Years passed like this.
13:14All three children have reached school age.
13:16Reyhan would go to tend the goats in the morning, return home at lunchtime to cook for the children, and then head back up the mountain.
13:23They got soaked in the rain, and they were scorched by the heat.
13:26But he never gave up.
13:28When he returned home one evening, his youngest son asked.
13:32Mom, why are you so tired?
13:34Reyhan stroked her head.
13:36For your growth, he said.
13:38Why aren't you growing?
13:40He asked this time.
13:42Reyhan turned her eyes to look out the window.
13:45He didn't answer.
13:46Because he couldn't say the sentence that was on his mind.
13:49I don't need to grow, I need to survive.
13:53Reyhan was one of those who knew best what it meant to raise children alone.
13:59While everyone else was out and about with their families during holidays, she was at home mending her sons' worn-out shoes.
14:06While the neighbors were buying new clothes
14:09Reyhan sold the yogurt she made from goat's milk to buy notebooks for her children.
14:14One night, she was sitting by the stove, holding the young man's worn-out shirt in her hand.
14:20The stitches weren't holding.
14:21The fabric was in tatters.
14:23Nevertheless, he spread the shirt on his knees and rubbed it against his face.
14:27He remained like that for a few minutes.
14:29Then he carefully folded the shirt and placed it in the old chest.
14:34He closed the box.
14:36He didn't lock it.
14:37Because it smelled of the young man.
14:40The children continued to grow.
14:42The eldest son was now old enough to herd the goats.
14:47One day, when Reyhan returned from the mountain, she found her son handling the chores in the grove all by himself.
14:53He stood silently by the door.
14:55Her eyes welled up with tears, but she said nothing.
14:58Because someone had started to share his burden.
15:02Reyhan was now making more cheese.
15:04As yogurt sales increased, he needed to come down to the city.
15:08The city roads were difficult.
15:09But Reyhan got used to this too.
15:12He would get on the bus with sacks on his shoulders and set up a stall in the market.
15:16His smiling face became recognizable among the market vendors.
15:19"A peasant woman," they said to her.
15:22But everyone respected her smile.
15:24One day a woman approached him at the city market.
15:27"This cheese has my mother's touch," he said.
15:31Reyhan lifted her head and, with red eyes, looked at the woman.
15:35"I miss my mother," he said.
15:38The woman was surprised.
15:39He traced the lines on Reyhan's face.
15:42He saw the weariness in her eyes.
15:44He could never get that cheese from anywhere else again.
15:47As the years passed, Reyhan's back became a little more bent.
15:51But he was still the first one to wake up in the morning and the last one to go to bed at night.
15:55Their sons had grown up and become young men.
15:59The house was no longer quiet.
16:01The young man's absence had been replaced by the joy of his sons.
16:04But Reyhan would sit alone by the stove at night,
16:08She was still waiting to hear the young man's footsteps.
16:11Nobody knew this.
16:13Only the shirt in the chest knew.
16:16Autumn in the village had been another cold one.
16:19The goat herd has now decreased in number,
16:22Reyhan's footprints were becoming less frequent on the mountain paths.
16:27The three sons had now grown into young men.
16:29The eldest got their driver's license, the middle one got a job.
16:33The youngest had finished high school.
16:36Reyhan had raised them with great care.
16:39Although they didn't realize it, he prayed by the stove at night.
16:43He went to work on an empty stomach in the mornings.
16:45He hadn't distinguished one from the other.
16:47He fed them all the same cheese.
16:49She had covered him with the same thick blanket.
16:52One day the eldest son arrived.
16:54There was hesitation in her eyes.
16:56"Mom, should we sell the goats?" he asked.
17:00Reyhan didn't answer at first.
17:02He turned his head.
17:03He looked at the animals grazing on the mountainside.
17:06To the goats, to whom he had dedicated years of his life, each of whom he knew by name.
17:10The one she woke up with every morning,
17:12They were the friends he returned home with that evening.
17:15"What will we do then?" she asked quietly.
17:19"Let's move to the city, we'll have a better life there," said his son.
17:23Reyhan fell silent.
17:24This silence was an acquiescence.
17:26Or it was about appearing to agree.
17:28Perhaps it was a silent sacrifice to pave the way for his sons.
17:33The goats were sold the following week.
17:36Reyhan entered the room with tears for the last time.
17:38Everywhere was empty.
17:40He leaned against the walls and took a deep breath.
17:43No tears were shed, but her heart ached.
17:45A few weeks later, Reyhan and her three sons moved into a small apartment in a suburban neighborhood of Bursa.
17:53An old stove had been brought in.
17:55Some old chairs and the young man's chest as well.
17:59The chest was placed in the most secluded corner of the house.
18:02It was covered up.
18:03But Reyhan would lift the cover at night and touch the shirt again.
18:08Nobody noticed.
18:10The city was another world.
18:12People are impatient.
18:14The neighbors were distant.
18:15Reyhan neither enjoyed looking out the window nor going outside.
18:20His days were filled with silence.
18:22His sons were working.
18:24The house got crowded in the evenings.
18:26But the days always offered Reyhan the same loneliness.
18:31The number of hours he spent squinting in front of the television increased.
18:36One day she realized she had put something in the wrong place in the kitchen.
18:40He couldn't remember where the salt shaker was.
18:43Then, while climbing the stairs, he lost his balance.
18:46"Your sons said you looked tired."
18:49Reyhan believed it.
18:50Perhaps he wanted to believe.
18:52But the tiredness didn't go away.
18:54It increased a little more each day.
18:56One morning, as winter approached, he spent a long time in the bathroom.
19:00The son who knocked on the door found his mother on the floor.
19:03She had fainted.
19:04They took him to the hospital.
19:06After the tests and imaging were done, the doctors came in with gloomy faces.
19:12Someone said there was a mass in the brain.
19:14"A tumor," said the other.
19:16Reyhan didn't say anything at that moment.
19:19He simply bowed his head.
19:21His sons were devastated.
19:22But Reyhan remained unwavering.
19:24Her eyes, which had never shed a tear before, were dry that day.
19:28She only looked after her sons.
19:31He saw himself in their eyes.
19:33Treatment was needed.
19:35But time was running out.
19:37The doctors were speaking clearly.
19:39They said it was advanced.
19:42Reyhan sat down on the old chair in the house and picked up the young man's shirt again.
19:47This time she didn't cover her face.
19:49He spread his shirt across his knees.
19:51He looked at his sons.
19:52"I have no requests from you," he said.
19:55But look out for each other.
19:57That night, their sons cried quietly in their rooms.
20:02Reyhan sat in front of the window.
20:04The city lights had obscured the sky.
20:06He missed the stars in that village.
20:09She missed the young man's grave.
20:11He missed the sound of the goats.
20:13But most of all, he missed the peace he had kept inside for so many years.
20:17When she woke up in the morning and was combing her hair, she noticed it in the mirror.
20:21A few more strands of gray had appeared in her hair.
20:24Reyhan sat down at the breakfast table that morning smiling like her children.
20:29She made them tea.
20:31One day, he said.
20:32A woman becomes a woman not of the place she lives, but of the love she gives.
20:37His sons didn't understand.
20:38But they never forgot the profound serenity on her face.
20:42The news had also reached Azerbaijan.
20:44When the older brothers heard that their younger brother was ill, they decided to set off on a journey.
20:49They were coming back to Türkiye after all these years.
20:53To hug Reyhan, to see her one last time.
20:56Time was now working against Reyhan.
20:58Reyhan started writing something in front of the window that night.
21:03He took a notebook out of the box.
21:06He picked up the pen and wrote.
21:08The lines were short, but their meaning was profound.
21:11When Reyhan woke up in her bed, the room was dim.
21:15The first rays of sunlight filtered through the window curtain, touching her face.
21:20Lately, he had been having difficulty speaking, eating little, and hardly sleeping at night.
21:26His mind was clear, but his body had failed him.
21:31Her youngest son had made soup that morning, and the older ones had gone to work.
21:35The room door was ajar.
21:36The aroma of tea wafting from the far end of the kitchen filled Reyhan's memories, not her lungs.
21:42The young man remembered the tea he drank every morning.
21:45The way she took a sip, it was as if hope, not the glass, was warming in her hands.
21:50Their youngest son entered and sat down next to his mother.
21:54"I saw your father in my dream today," Reyhan said.
21:58His son fell silent.
22:00It was on top of a mountain.
22:01There were goats around again.
22:04"He walked toward me, but I couldn't catch him," he said.
22:07His son bowed his head.
22:08Reyhan stroked her son's hair.
22:11You look like me, but try to be more like your father.
22:15He lived according to his heart.
22:17"She was quiet, but powerful," he said.
22:19Reyhan's condition was worsening day by day.
22:21His sons had noticed it.
22:24But it wasn't easy to accept.
22:26The eldest son was arranging hospital appointments, the middle son was tidying up the house, and the youngest son was constantly by Reyhan's side.
22:35His brothers in Azerbaijan were notified.
22:38Reyhan's condition was critical.
22:41The brothers have set off.
22:42But time was flying by.
22:45That night, Reyhan looked at the sky through the window.
22:47In Aytepe, the stars were in a cool silence.
22:52The only light in the room was the lamp by the bedside.
22:55The young man's shirt was next to her.
22:58It was missing buttons, its collar was worn, but its scent was still there.
23:03Reyhan closed her eyes.
23:05Forgive me, but don't forget me.
23:08"Just protect the children," she whispered.
23:12The next morning, their son woke up next to Reyhan.
23:16His eyes were closed.
23:18There was a peaceful expression on her face.
23:19It was as if she had dreamt she had gone to the mountains, found the young man, and embraced him.
23:25They held her hand.
23:26It was cold.
23:27Reyhan had passed away that morning.
23:30His sons were silent.
23:32They couldn't scream.
23:33Because a void had opened up in their hearts.
23:36Tears flowed silently.
23:38It didn't come from inside the house, it came from their hearts.
23:42My brothers only managed to get home around lunchtime.
23:47They entered through the door with the news of Reyhan's death.
23:50They looked at their younger brother's face one last time.
23:54They held hands.
23:55Just like they did when they were little.
23:58"You reminded me of the women in our house," said the eldest brother.
24:03Preparations for the funeral have been made.
24:06Reyhan's last wish was to return to the land of her birth.
24:09But a journey had begun that he could no longer see with his own eyes.
24:14While Reyhan's body was being prepared to be sent to Azerbaijan,
24:18The sons packed their mother's belongings.
24:21They found a notebook.
24:22It simply said this:
24:25I walked every day.
24:27I didn't consider going back.
24:28Because it's nowhere to go back to.
24:31There was a heart to be protected.
24:32They didn't open the notebook.
24:35They weren't ready yet.
24:37Inside the box, the young man's shirt lay unbuttoned but clean.
24:43Reyhan had placed a handkerchief beside her.
24:46A single word embroidered on it with a needle,
24:48You were alone, but you're not anymore.
24:50His sons waited at the end of the runway as the hearse took off.
24:55The younger son looked at the name on the tag attached to the suitcase.
24:59Basil.
25:00It turned to the sky one last time.
25:02It turned to the sky one last time.
25:02Her eyes were filled with tears, but she didn't cry.
25:04Because there was only one thing her mother wanted.
25:07They stand upright.
25:09Reyhan passed away without ever seeing the land of her birth, but carrying it in her heart.
25:14Their brothers buried their sibling in the family cemetery in Azerbaijan.
25:19The single sentence inscribed on his tombstone described him.
25:23I was a Reyhan (basil) that blossomed in a foreign land.
25:26It had been a few weeks since Reyhan was buried.
25:29At the funeral ceremony in Azerbaijan, there were not only tears,
25:33The entire weight of the past had also mingled with the earth.
25:36His siblings experienced the bittersweet feeling of burying him in his homeland,
25:40Reyhan's three sons have returned to their home in Bursa.
25:44The house was quiet.
25:45For the first time, they felt so deeply what it meant to be motherless.
25:50Reyhan's voice seemed to have been erased from the walls.
25:54The sheer curtain swayed gently in the wind, but no one was sitting behind it anymore.
26:01There was no smell of food coming from the stove.
26:02The goats that used to gather in front of the door in the mornings were gone.
26:06For the sons, the world had stopped.
26:09One day, the eldest son found an old envelope under his mother's pillow.
26:15It had shaky but familiar handwriting on it.
26:19My sons, all three of them sat down.
26:21They opened the envelope without saying anything.
26:24A thin, folded piece of paper came out of it.
26:28The paper smelled of their mothers.
26:31They started reading.
26:32My darlings, the light of my eyes, my three precious saplings.
26:35You are still with me as I write these lines.
26:38But deep down I know I have little time.
26:41You will not inherit any fortune from me.
26:43Because we dug up life together with the earth.
26:46Together we sowed patience, together we reaped hope.
26:50I left you not gold, but the sweat of my labor.
26:52I left you mountains, not cities.
26:55I left you not wealth, but compassion.
26:59I left you not soft hands, but calloused but dignified hands.
27:04My children, perhaps I sometimes seemed harsh to you.
27:08Maybe I was too quiet sometimes.
27:10But know this: I kept silent so that my words wouldn't affect you.
27:14The mountains where I once only called out to goats are now filled with the joy of your laughter.
27:21In those mountains, I became not just a woman, I became a mother.
27:24Don't call me, kids.
27:26I am sometimes by the bank of that old stream.
27:29Sometimes on a path where goats track their steps.
27:32Sometimes I'm in your shadows as you return home in the late afternoon.
27:36I am now as silent as a mountain.
27:39But you will hear me when the wind blows.
27:41And whenever you hug each other, I'll be there too.
27:46My darlings, look out for each other.
27:49And keep me alive in your prayers.
27:52I'm with you.
27:53Always.
27:54After reading those lines, none of them uttered a sound.
27:58All three fell silent.
28:00Because words were insufficient.
28:02With her last letter, Reyhan had made them grow even more.
28:06Even though he/she is no longer physically by his/her side,
28:09His presence was felt most strongly now.
28:12The next morning, the three siblings walked up the hill behind the house.
28:16They realized that Reyhan loved goats the most.
28:20The eldest brother made a small pile of stones.
28:23She placed a headscarf over it.
28:25The middle brother planted a shepherd's staff next to the stone.
28:29The youngest one wrote his mother's name on the ground.
28:34Basil.
28:34They recited a prayer.
28:36Each of them quietly tried to hear their mother's voice.
28:40The wind blew gently.
28:43The grass swayed as if Reyhan's skirt had touched it.
28:46They all understood at that moment.
28:49Her mother hadn't left.
28:50It had simply moved to a place invisible to the naked eye.
28:53They continued with their lives after that day.
28:56But Reyhan spoke on every holiday, every rainy night, every starry night.
29:02Sometimes with the wind,
29:04Sometimes in the smoke of the stove,
29:07Sometimes in a falling leaf.
29:09And they always responded.
29:12We never forgot you, Mom.
