00:00If we give someone hope and then abandon them halfway, will that person's curse come true?

00:06They say separation is also a part of love.

00:08So when do lovers exhaust their love?

00:11Can long journeys, distant lands, or another man or woman wear down lovers?

00:18I don't know whose curse will benefit whom.

00:20But the curses of lovers affect each other in a way you wouldn't believe.

00:24Love may never end, but its pain remains fresh in the eyes of the lover.

00:29And the day will come when this inner pain will either consume Leyla or bury Mecnun.

00:35In this story, we witness one of two lovers leaving the other with a lifelong gift of separation, followed by a profound life lesson.

00:44We will be.

00:45If you're ready, we can begin our story.

00:48Enjoy watching.

01:00Selman was very young when he graduated from Gökçeada Teacher Training School in 1969.

01:08Despite his young age, he possessed the dignity befitting a disciplined and strong leader.

01:14She possessed all the communication skills a teacher should have.

01:19She was familiar with the Turkish education curriculum and possessed the skills to communicate effectively with students in both written and oral form.

01:27At such a young age, he aimed to be a role model; he was hardworking, sincere, and convincing.

01:34His teachers held him up as an example to all his classmates.

01:37With his speech, his behavior, his knowledge, his curiosity, and his respect for his teachers and friends, he was always one step ahead.

01:46He was patient, compassionate, open-hearted, tolerant, open-minded, flexible, and stimulating.

01:53He was kind, understanding, and had a thought-provoking sense of humor.

01:57Throughout his studies, he was a student who always earned admiration for his high expectations for achievement and his encouraging and supportive personal qualities.

02:09He possessed the knowledge and skills required of a primary school teacher.

02:15He had developed himself in social and cultural fields.

02:18It possessed the skills and knowledge to contribute to the personal development of students, constantly updating itself and preparing them for the future.

02:28She was only 20 years old when she was assigned to the village where she would take her first step into the teaching profession.

02:33When he arrived at the village to which he had been assigned, using the first vehicle he could find in the district,

02:37In the schoolyard, which had been without a teacher for a year, a handful of students, the village headman, and the village guard greeted him.

02:44As she got off the minibus and looked around, amidst the children's timid, shy, and hesitant glances,

02:52Although it was only the beginning of September, the pristine white snow on the opposite mountain caught her eye.

02:58He felt a coolness inside.

03:00He would become emotional in the face of such breathtaking and imaginative landscapes.

03:06Village headman,

03:07If he hadn't said "Welcome, teacher" and taken her hand, she would have drifted off into her daydreams.

03:12I am Hasan Çiçekçi, the village headman.

03:14''Welcome.''

03:16The children came one by one and kissed his hand, even though he didn't want them to.

03:20He asked their names one by one, and patted their heads.

03:24The children stated what grade they were in.

03:27There were students from every class.

03:29Students from five different classes were receiving mixed education in a single classroom.

03:33"Five classes in the same classroom will be difficult," she thought to herself.

03:37But their teachers at the teacher training college had warned them that such co-educational instruction might be possible in many village schools.

03:45He had just started making plans in his head when the village head said, "Come on, let's go to our accommodation."

03:51He didn't have many possessions anyway.

03:54The village guard took her suitcase, and the village headman took her small bag, and they went to the teacher's quarters right next to the school.

04:00The village headman took a key from the bunch of keys attached to his belt, the one that said "Accommodation," and opened the door.

04:06It was a lovely little apartment consisting of two rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a toilet.

04:11"It's so small," he thought to himself.

04:13The accommodation was furnished.

04:15"Our previous teacher left her belongings behind when she was transferred," said the village head.

04:21"When we heard you were coming, we tidied up and cleaned everything."

04:24"We will gradually fill in the gaps as well," he added.

04:29While Selman was calculating where to place his library, which consisted of books he had acquired by saving up his allowance,

04:35"I wish there was another little room," he thought to himself.

04:39As she dragged her suitcase towards the bedroom and examined her surroundings more closely,

04:44The ranger called out, "The tea is ready, headman."

04:49They left the dormitory.

04:50They sat on the benches in the gazebo in the mosque courtyard.

04:53As they sipped their tea, the village headman said, "We'll have dinner with you tonight."

04:58Then he added, "We'll figure something out."

05:01The evening call to prayer was recited, or was about to be recited.

05:04The village elders were slowly performing ablutions at the fountain, and someone from afar called out, "Welcome."

05:10He came and shook my hand.

05:11They got up.

05:12When they arrived at the village headman's house, the low table was already set up.

05:16The village headman's wife told them to sit down immediately.

05:19"Otherwise the food will get cold," he added.

05:22They sat down.

05:23In the middle of the room were plates of salad, watermelon, and grapes.

05:27"Go get the soups, my daughter," said the village headman.

05:29When Elif entered with bowls of soup in her hands, he said, "This is my daughter, Elif."

05:35Elif, without lifting her eyes, placed the soups on the table, her embarrassment evident in every aspect of her demeanor.

05:42Selman said, "Pleased to meet you," and their eyes met.

05:47He couldn't even make out the color of her eyes in the light of the gas lamp.

05:51There was embarrassment and sadness on his sunburnt face.

05:54Elif was burning up with fever.

05:56Her heart was pounding as if it would burst from her chest, and she walked quickly towards the kitchen.

06:01Something had happened to Selman too.

06:04Although she tried not to let the village headman notice, her face suddenly flushed.

06:07A ball of fire was rushing towards his face amidst the pounding of his heart.

06:13Were his hands trembling too?

06:14She had already put down the spoon she was holding.

06:17Otherwise, she would have dropped it.

06:19If the village headman hadn't started by saying, "We couldn't afford to educate him after primary school," he would have become even more flustered.

06:26He had never felt such things in the presence of any woman he had met, sat with, talked to, or argued with before.

06:34He had never been in such a situation before.

06:36What was happening?

06:37What a mess!

06:38Something was wrong with Elif, too.

06:41She was preparing the food plates in the kitchen.

06:44Between her mother's constant "Watch out, my daughter!" shouts, she felt as if her feet were off the ground, flying.

06:52His heart is beating unbearably fast.

06:56His hands are trembling.

06:57She was spilling the rice from the pot onto the plates haphazardly.

07:01Elif brought the coffees again after the meal.

07:04This time they couldn't even look each other in the face.

07:07While she was doing her chores in the kitchen, the village headman and Selman were engrossed in a deep conversation.

07:14A considerable amount of time had passed.

07:16Selman excused himself and got up.

07:19The village headman took a keychain from his belt that had "Accommodation" written on it and handed it over.

07:24They walked towards the lodgings with the ranger who had arrived a short while ago.

07:28When they arrived at the lodgings, the ranger wished them good night and left.

07:32She was alone.

07:34She had taken her first step towards becoming a teacher, the profession of her dreams.

07:37It was in a quiet mountain village, just below which the Ankara-Izmir railway line passed.

07:45He would have plenty of free time.

07:47Exactly as he wanted.

07:49He was going to read all the books he hadn't been able to read in his free time.

07:53He was going to complete the poems and writings he had started but couldn't finish before, here.

07:58She took out of her small bag Kemal Tahir's novel Sağır Dere, which she had brought with her to read on the road.

08:04She had a few more books in her bag.

08:07The heaviness in his eyes prevented him from reading.

08:10The gas lamp's light wasn't enough anyway.

08:13While making plans for tomorrow, he simply drifted off to sleep.

08:16The first thing he did when he woke up in the morning was find the village headman and have him make an announcement over the mosque loudspeakers for the children to come to school and for those registering for first grade to bring their children.

08:25It was about having it done.

08:25She sat down at the teacher's desk in the school's only classroom.

08:29When planning the school's enrollment size, the number of students in each class, and the order in which lessons will begin, children also need to consider.

08:38They gradually started filling the classroom.

08:41The class now has a total of 28 students.

08:44There were 6 fifth-grade students, 8 fourth-grade students, and 7 each in the third and second grades.

08:51According to what he learned from the village head, with the new registrations, the total number of students would be 39.

08:59It required special preparation for first-year students.

09:02He asked a question or two to students in other classes and was pleased with the response.

09:08The previous teacher had put in a tremendous amount of effort and raised the children well.

09:13After the new registrations were completed, he was going to meet with the village head and start implementing a morning and afternoon shift system at the school.

09:20This would ensure that students in grades 3, 4, and 5 came to school in the morning, and students in grades 1 and 2 came in the afternoon.

09:28When the new registrations were finished, the total number of available registrations remained at 37.

09:33Two of the children were not old enough.

09:35The first few days were spent with the students getting used to him, and him getting used to the students and the village conditions.

09:41Selman himself was a village boy who had attended primary school in the village.

09:45He quickly adapted to the living conditions in the village.

09:47Although there were some regional differences in culture and traditions, the order of village life remained the same.

09:54He took the village minibus to the town on Saturday morning.

09:57He didn't know anyone in the district.

09:59He only remembered the Deputy Director of National Education to whom he had handed over his appointment papers when he first arrived.

10:06The minibus driver learned the location of the teachers' lounge from Sadık.

10:10She told Sadık that she would arrive by train on Sunday and asked him to pick her up from the station, then she parted ways with him.

10:16There were stops along the railway line for passengers from nearby villages to get on and off.

10:21These weren't stations, but rather places where trains stopped briefly.

10:26When he arrived at the teachers' lounge, there were a few people he guessed were retired teachers.

10:31He greeted them and sat down at a table.

10:33The attendant brought his tea.

10:35He glanced at the local newspapers on the table.

10:37He noted down the train schedules to Ankara in his notebook.

10:40It might be useful later.

10:42He bought a few things he needed from the market and returned to the bar.

10:46He had shortcomings at school.

10:48He was going to go down to the district during the week and get them from the Ministry of National Education.

10:53He returned to the village on Sunday.

10:55He placed the 3-5 things he bought from the district in the wire cupboard.

10:58They got off to a quick start on Monday classes.

11:00Although there were sometimes difficulties with transitions between classes, he solved the problem by letting other classes go out for recess.

11:06For a while, he tried to teach with all the classes together, but he found it quite difficult.

11:12After a while, they continued their education in morning and afternoon shifts.

11:16After classes, he would sometimes walk towards İnkaya, located at the bottom of the village, and read a book from a high vantage point, gazing at the mountains opposite.

11:23Sometimes he would walk towards the square called the cemetery square at the entrance of the village, chat with passersby, and help the children who came to him with their homework.

11:32He hadn't seen Elif again since the first day.

11:35That day, as he was walking towards the graveyard again, he saw her with her mother on the road.

11:40As soon as Elif saw him, she bowed her head.

11:43His heart was pounding in his chest.

11:46His mother greeted teacher Selman and passed by.

11:49Selman was also overcome with fever again.

11:51Days later, the weather started to cool and it began to rain.

11:56The stove needed to be lit in the dormitory.

11:58The villagers supplied the firewood.

12:00At first, the village guard would come and light the stove for him, and when the gas cylinder ran out in the kitchen, he would get it replaced from the town.

12:06He sometimes ate dinner in the mosque's prayer room with the imam and a few elders.

12:12When guests came from outside the village, they would sometimes eat at the village headman's house.

12:16On days like these, Selman was filled with excitement.

12:19He enjoyed getting excited when he saw Elif.

12:22Occasionally, villagers would also bring food to the lodgings.

12:26Elif brought one once too.

12:28He had never looked into Elif's eyes so closely before.

12:32It was the color of black grapes.

12:34When she picked up the food tray at the door, her hand touched his, and it felt like an electric shock.

12:39At that moment, it was as if everything was just beginning.

12:43It felt like butterflies were fluttering inside her.

12:46My heart palpitations increased.

12:48His hands couldn't find the tray Elif was holding out.

12:51He wanted to say thank you.

12:52There was no sound.

12:54By the time she composed herself, Elif had already descended the stairs of the dormitory and was turning the corner.

13:00She held the tray in her hand for a while.

13:03He couldn't sleep again that night.

13:05He was having difficulty breathing.

13:07After midnight, he burned all the poems he had left unfinished in the stove.

13:12And he began to write new poems.

13:15New poems that he never let anyone read, never showed to anyone.

13:20A poem,

13:22Has it gotten dark?

13:23"There's a darkness inside me, like your eyes, or have I lost myself on the passing trains?" it began, and then went on and on.

13:31He couldn't sleep at night; it was as if he was tossing and turning in darkness.

13:36Sometimes he wouldn't hear the students' questions, and sometimes he would get angry at the child asking the question.

13:42But the ideal teacher in her mind wouldn't do such a thing.

13:46Sometimes he doesn't recognize himself, and deep down he's angry at himself.

13:50He regrets it.

13:51But he couldn't control his heart.

13:54Elif couldn't get the image of those eyes out of her mind, and she couldn't tell anyone what was bothering her.

13:59The children sometimes whispered and giggled amongst themselves, but Selman couldn't even hear them.

14:05Autumn was almost over.

14:07The rain continued incessantly.

14:10The villagers tried to finish their field and garden work whenever they had the chance.

14:15Finally, the whiteness on the opposite mountain had increased, and occasional rain mixed with snow had begun to fall on the village.

14:21He decided to open the night school he had previously told the village headman about.

14:25On the one hand, it will prepare young people who cannot continue their education after primary school for secondary and high school graduation exams externally,

14:32On the other hand, he would teach literacy to those who could not read and write.

14:37But in fact, he hoped it would alleviate some of the unbearable pain inside him.

14:44And perhaps the village head would send Elif to the course too.

14:47It turned out exactly as he expected.

14:49Elif was one of the first students in the course.

14:53The course was proving very productive, but Selman couldn't extinguish the fire burning inside him.

14:59Each evening he eagerly awaited the arrival of the trainees at school.

15:03Was he waiting for the trainees or for Elif?

15:08Selman the teacher did not go back to his hometown during the first semester break in the village.

15:13His hometown was far away.

15:15The winter was also harsh.

15:17The journey was going to be difficult.

15:18During the holidays, he stayed in the village and taught classes to the trainees who were unemployed.

15:23The warmth between Elif and him increased even more during this time.

15:28Because there were fewer trainees, she was able to give Elif more attention.

15:33Even though they didn't show it to anyone, they were both as excited as they were on the first day, their hearts pounding faster, but they just couldn't find the chance to tell each other.

15:41They couldn't say it.

15:42But when their eyes met, butterflies fluttered in both their stomachs, and they confessed their love with their eyes.

15:50Selman couldn't bring himself to confess his feelings, and while they were alone together, thinking about how they would declare their love for each other, one evening after class, Elif, without anyone seeing,

15:59He slipped a piece of paper into Selman's hand.

16:01After everyone had left, he unfolded the paper in his hand, which was thoroughly crumpled with sweat.

16:07He had suggested they meet secretly at night under the tree in front of the grave.

16:11Selman, eagerly awaiting the meeting time, arrived at their meeting place only to find that Elif had not yet arrived.

16:16Selman's heart almost leaped out of his chest when he heard Elif's footsteps.

16:21As soon as Elif arrived, she hugged Selman tightly around the neck.

16:25They hugged tightly.

16:26They had never been this close to each other before.

16:28The air was cold. The sky was clear and the stars were very bright.

16:33They sat there in silence, watching the stars.

16:36It was exactly as she had imagined. Romantic, just like in the movies.

16:39They could communicate everything to each other without saying a word.

16:43So this is what love is like.

16:45When Elif crossed her arms, indicating that she was cold,

16:49After receiving his first paycheck, Selman took off the brown coat he had bought in preparation for winter and draped it over Elif's shoulders.

16:55Elif wrapped herself tightly in the coat without any objection.

16:59Meanwhile, Selman was talking about things related to stars that even he couldn't make sense of, just to be able to talk.

17:06"Venus," he said, pointing to the North Star.

17:10"Let Venus be our star."

17:12"Let's look at it when we miss each other," he added.

17:16''Through.

17:17"Venus is also known as the Morning Star."

17:20Its direction never changes.

17:22It's always in the same place.

17:24Whenever I miss you, I'll always look at it.

17:26Always be there.''

17:28In mythology, he is also known as the god of love.

17:31In astrology, it also represents women.

17:33In short, he was about to say, "Venus is love," when...

17:38They froze in place when the headlights of the minibus returning from the district shone on them.

17:42The driver, Sadık, was returning from the district and had seen them.

17:47He sensed that there was something going on between them even more than Elif's parents did.

17:53He ignored them.

17:55They both panicked.

17:56Elif quickly got up, threw the coat off her shoulder towards Selman, and ran away without saying a word.

18:05After reflecting on what had happened for a while, Selman also got up and came to the dormitory.

18:10He couldn't sleep again that night.

18:13What would happen if the driver, Sadık, told the village headman what he had seen?

18:17How was he going to look the village headman in the face?

18:20Had he abused the trust placed in him?

18:23If the village head found out, he wouldn't be able to stay in the village anymore.

18:26But what would happen to Elif if she left?

18:30Was she going to leave him?

18:31She kept promising herself that no matter what, she wouldn't leave him.

18:37What was he really going to do now?

18:39Elif was so overwhelmed with fear and excitement that her heart was pounding as if it would leap out of her chest, and she couldn't think straight.

18:47Neither of them slept until morning.

18:49That morning, they went about their normal lives as usual, while also trying to figure out if the village headman was aware of the news.

18:57When Selman found an excuse to go to the village headman's house, he observed that everything was normal.

19:03He felt relieved when he saw Elif too.

19:05The driver, Sadık, hadn't said anything.

19:07Perhaps he hadn't seen it at all in the darkness of the night.

19:11Winter had well and truly begun to make its presence felt.

19:14Even Sadık, the driver who commuted daily from the village to the town, couldn't go there because of the winter conditions.

19:20The cold was making itself strongly felt.

19:23The stove in the middle of the school's only classroom sometimes failed to heat the room properly.

19:27The accommodation was cold too.

19:30But since Selman rarely slept properly at night, he wouldn't let the stove go out; he kept stoking the fire constantly.

19:39Both Elif and Selman were still uneasy when they saw the driver, Sadık, but Sadık didn't even react.

19:45The course was ongoing.

19:47Elif had lost the initial excitement she had felt.

19:50Perhaps she was afraid that their relationship would be noticed by those around them.

19:55Selman had to go back to his hometown when the schools closed for the holidays.

19:59The letters from his mother both made him happy and sad.

20:04They missed each other.

20:06Her mother was constantly complaining.

20:08But now that she was gone, there was someone here she would miss too.

20:12How was he going to cope with Elif's absence?

20:14And that day had come.

20:17He handed out the children's report cards.

20:19He took the suitcase he had prepared the night before to the front door and handed it to the waiting guard.

20:24As the ranger carried his suitcase towards the minibus, he headed towards the village headman's house.

20:30He was going to say goodbye to the village headman.

20:32His main goal was to see Elif.

20:34After hugging the village headman and saying goodbye, he also waved goodbye to Elif and her mother.

20:40Selman's feet don't want to go.

20:42It's going backwards.

20:43Elif wanted to scream "Don't go!" at the top of her lungs.

20:48Elif watched the minibus until it passed the graveyard.

20:52She was about to cry.

20:54Until Selman returned, Elif didn't go to bed every night without looking at the North Star.

20:59Although those three months felt like a year to them, they passed in the blink of an eye.

21:05Upon his return, he had his first dinner with a large group of villagers in the mosque's prayer room.

21:10In the mosque room, which also serves as the village hall, in addition to education and training, villagers will be taught agricultural techniques in the new year.

21:18He also mentioned that he could offer courses related to woodworking, a craft that had been forgotten years ago.

21:24He reminded the villagers that students wishing to enroll in the first grade could do so starting tomorrow, and then headed towards the dormitory.

21:33He walked down the back street hoping to spot Elif in the darkness of the night.

21:37But to no avail!

21:39Although it was late afternoon and he had arrived in the village, he still hadn't seen Elif.

21:43A silver necklace with black stones, specially made by a craftsman in his hometown who makes prayer beads and jewelry from precious stones, to give as a gift to Elif.

21:52He had it done.

21:54He wanted to give his gift without delay.

21:56The week was spent with new registrations and going down to the district to procure supplies for herself and the school.

22:02But he still hadn't seen Elif.

22:05Had she gone somewhere else?

22:08Was he/she ill?

22:09He was getting increasingly curious.

22:10He had tried asking the driver, Sadık, on his way to and from the district, but he hadn't dared.

22:16He spent the weekend sitting on a high spot in İnkaya, aimlessly flipping through the pages of a book.

22:23He heard footsteps behind him.

22:25Elif and her mother were coming from the garden.

22:28"Welcome, teacher," said the woman.

22:31"Nice to meet you," they said, their eyes meeting with Elif's.

22:35But they couldn't speak.

22:37It was as if both of their hearts had jumped out of their chests.

22:39They eased the longing of the time that had passed by by exchanging glances.

22:43If her mother hadn't pulled Elif's arm, they might have just stared at each other until evening.

22:48Selman felt the necklace in the inside pocket of his jacket.

22:52"A gift perfectly suited to her eyes," she thought.

22:56But how was he going to give it?

22:58How was Elif going to wear the verse?

23:00Lost in her daydreams, she recited poems she knew by heart, and tried to recall the famous Elif folk song from the Kütahya region.

23:08But he couldn't remember the words at all.

23:11While she was at teacher training college, her teachers and friends always reminded her that she had a beautiful voice and sang beautifully.

23:18But now he was having trouble even remembering his words.

23:22His voice trembled, and he couldn't get the melody of the song right.

23:25She was just about to start singing Zeki Müren's "Evening has fallen, I'm sad again" when the evening call to prayer began.

23:33He got up from where he was sitting.

23:35Until he reached the dormitory, he kept repeating, "Evening has fallen, I'm sad again, I long for the color of your eyes, come, my moonlight, come, my love, come again."

23:44He stopped.

23:45Even though days had passed, he still hadn't been able to give the necklace to Elif.

23:50Selman the teacher stayed in the village for three years.

23:53During this time, she taught many women to read and write.

23:57Elif and a few other young people also passed their external graduation exams and graduated from high school.

24:04During this time, besides spending time at school with Elif, they had also started meeting secretly outside of school.

24:12Selman would find an excuse to get himself invited to dinner and have the village headman invite him.

24:19This gave him more opportunities to see Elif.

24:22In fact, both the village headman and his wife were aware of what was happening, but they didn't say much and chose to ignore it.

24:31Because they liked teacher Selman.

24:33Perhaps they were thinking, "Will we find a better son-in-law than the teacher?"

24:38The love between Selman and Elif had intensified, and it had even begun to be whispered about among the women.

24:47Even the students had started whispering and giggling amongst themselves because Selman would zone out and read poems to them during their free study time.

24:58But Selman, unaware of all this, was doing everything in his power to be close to Elif at every opportunity, in order to quench the fire in his heart.

25:09Elif, however, was hearing the rumors circulating and was trying to stay away from Selman as much as possible to prevent them from spreading further.

25:18Although this distance was sometimes misunderstood by Selman, the fire in his heart remained undiminished.

25:28Although days chased months, months chased seasons, and seasons chased years, time seemed to pass so slowly for Selman.

25:39Perhaps he didn't want time to pass.

25:41When he completed his third year in the village, he was transferred to the district during the summer holidays.

25:46He hadn't requested it.

25:48He became anxious while examining the appointment papers brought by the postman.

25:52He didn't want to leave Elif behind.

25:54How would they ever be reunited if she left?

25:57He was going to say goodbye and leave the village the next day.

26:00He had to find a way to say goodbye to Elif and give her the necklace he had always carried with him for years, the one he had never been able to give her.

26:08He waited for the village headman to return from the field towards evening.

26:12He would go to the village headman's house under the pretext of saying goodbye, and find an opportunity to give Elif his gift.

26:19The evening call to prayer was about to be recited when the village headman returned.

26:23He walked in that direction.

26:24He knocked on the door.

26:26Elif opened the door.

26:28He was surprised.

26:28They gazed into each other's eyes until her father asked from inside, "Who is it, my daughter?", and Selman seized the opportunity and pulled out the necklace she had been holding in her hand since they left the barracks.

26:40He thrust it into Elif's hand.

26:42Elif clutched tightly in her hand the object she didn't even understand what it was, while her father arrived at the door.

26:49The village head invited us in.

26:50Selman acted a little hesitant, but he was eager to go inside.

26:54They were going to have dinner together.

26:57Elif's heart ached when Selman told them at the dinner table that the postman had brought her transfer papers and that she would be leaving the village the next day, having come to say goodbye.

27:07did.

27:08She was putting the food directly onto the plates.

27:10He suddenly stumbled.

27:12He felt dizzy.

27:13Her mother took the plates from her and continued serving.

27:17Elif quickly left the room.

27:20Both her mother and father were aware of everything.

27:22The next morning, Selman boarded the minibus and headed towards the town, his heart filled with pain and sorrow, while Elif, holding back her tears, stood in the square in front of the grave.

27:34He quietly saw her off from his corner.

27:37Elif did not hear from Selman for days.

27:40Summer was almost over.

27:42The schools were going to reopen, but another teacher was coming to the village.

27:46When would she be able to see Selman again?

27:48In early September, Elif, returning from the thermal garden with her mother, saw her friends engrossed in conversation on the roadside, so she asked her mother for permission to stay with them.

27:59Amidst the laughter and jokes, Elif's absentmindedness was noticeable.

28:03The fear of never seeing Selman again was making her increasingly anxious.

28:08His friends were aware of the situation, but they couldn't say anything.

28:11When they heard the sound of the minibus coming from the direction of the grave, they all turned in that direction.

28:17The driver, Sadık, stopped when he reached them.

28:19He called Elif over, saying, "I have good news for you," and handed her an envelope he had taken from his pocket.

28:25After passing his high school graduation exams, he applied to the municipality and the district governor's office for a job, as suggested by Selman.

28:33Could it be that they were the ones who sent the news?

28:35His friends immediately gathered around him.

28:37When she saw "To Elif" written on the envelope, she immediately recognized Selman's handwriting.

28:43Amidst the curious questions and stares of his friends, he slipped the envelope into his vest and hurried away.

28:50His friends just stood there watching him go.

28:52He looked for a secluded spot to open and read it.

28:55He immediately entered the schoolyard.

28:57There was no one around.

28:59His heart was pounding as if it would burst.

29:02He could barely open the envelope.

29:04The letter began, "My dark-eyed Elif..."

29:08In his letter, Selman expressed how much he missed her, spoke of their imminent reunion, and showered her with words of love.

29:17He wanted to reply immediately and send it with the driver Sadık in the morning, but he just couldn't find the time.

29:23She stayed awake all night, holding the letter in her arms.

29:27She had chores to do in the garden again that morning.

29:30He told his mother he wasn't feeling well, hadn't slept the night before, and would get some sleep and come back later, so he stayed home.

29:38His father had gone to the town that morning.

29:40She read the letter again when she was alone at home.

29:43She was excited as if she were reading it for the first time, and after a while, shyly and hesitantly...

29:49He was able to begin the letter by saying "my darling."

29:53She wrote down all her feelings—longing, excitement, fear, and other emotions she couldn't even describe—in the letter.

30:00She placed a rose petal inside and sealed the envelope.

30:03That evening, he found a way to give the letter to Sadik to deliver to Selman.

30:09Sadik now knew about their relationship.

30:12Actually, she had seen them when they first met.

30:15But until today, he hadn't given any indication of his true feelings.

30:18They corresponded for a long time through the driver, Sadık.

30:23Selman even came to the village a few times.

30:26Everything was going well.

30:28They had even begun to take steps towards formalizing the process.

30:34That was until Feyza, a teacher, came to the school where Selman worked.

30:39After some time, no more letters or news came from Selman.

30:43He wasn't responding to Elif's letters either.

30:46Elif waited for days for the letter that Sadik would bring.

30:50But that letter never arrived.

30:53He had now embarked on a new romance with Feyza.

30:57When Elif learned the situation from the driver, Sadık, she couldn't believe it.

31:01She was worried and pessimistic, but deep down she always held onto hope.

31:07Because in all those letters they had repeatedly promised each other they would never separate.

31:13However, he only understood the seriousness of the situation after Selman invited the village headman to his wedding.

31:20He stopped eating and drinking.

31:22Day by day his face grew paler and he stopped talking to anyone.

31:26Selman and Feyza got married,

31:28They arranged for their transfers to the city where Feyza's family lived and settled there.

31:33When Selman first broached the subject with his mother, she was absolutely against him marrying Elif and said that if he did, she would not forgive him.

31:45He did neither what his mother told him to do nor what his heart told him to do.

31:49He had married Feyza, whom he believed to be madly in love with and who he thought had a more modern social life.

31:56Elif wasted away day by day.

31:58They went to countless doctors in the district and the province, but they couldn't find a solution.

32:03The last doctor they went to at Izmir State Hospital said it was a wasting disease.

32:08Elif had tuberculosis.

32:10She took medication for months for treatment.

32:12He swallowed some of the pastes prepared by the old man in the village, whom they called Uncle Lokman, who made natural remedies.

32:18But there was no solution.

32:19Elif was wasting away day by day, getting worse.

32:23Elif coughs all night long.

32:26He hid the bloody saliva that came from his lungs with every cough from his mother and father.

32:32Whenever he woke up with a cough, he would say to Selman,

32:34"May he never see the light of day, may he suffer even worse than me," she cursed.

32:39Despite everything, even though his heart wouldn't allow it,

32:42"I hope one day you experience what you put me through," she said.

32:46The villagers had heard about Elif's illness,

32:49They had started talking about how someone like Selman could have hurt Elif.

32:53Even Elif's loved ones were cursing Selman.

32:57Her mother and father grow older as they grieve over their daughter's condition.

33:01Even though they were angry at Selman, they would say, "What can we say about what comes from God?"

33:04Because everyone now knew that Elif's illness was Selman's fault.

33:09She was hopelessly in love.

33:11She had also contracted a wasting disease after Selman left her.

33:15Selman was never happy in the city they moved to.

33:19He was neither happy teaching classes at school nor wandering aimlessly down deserted roads.

33:25She neither organized courses at the school nor made any effort for the children's development.

33:30By the time she graduated from teacher training college, none of her dreams remained; she had become just an ordinary teacher.

33:36Sometimes after school, he would spend time with his single friends, and sometimes aimlessly wandering the streets until late at night.

33:44When she arrived home in the early morning, Feyza would wake up to the sound of the door, appear at the bedroom door with sleepy eyes, and slam it shut without saying anything.

33:55Selman would lie on the sofa in the living room, sometimes staying up all night without sleeping.

34:00As they got ready to leave the house in the morning, Feyza vented all the anger she hadn't been able to vent the previous evening.

34:07Selman usually kept quiet and headed to school.

34:11Although they worked at the same school, they hadn't gone to school together in a long time.

34:17Feyza mostly spent her free time from school with her mother, who had been living with them since her father's death.

34:25At other times, he would accompany his mother as she played bridge with her friends.

34:30Even after Feyza became the assistant principal at the school, Selman tried to get a transfer to another school, but he couldn't get it done.

34:36Selman had stopped coming home at night on days when he didn't have classes the following day.

34:42Feyza's friends said they sometimes saw her at the train station and sometimes at the picnic area.

34:49When he came home the next day, Feyza was raising hell.

34:53Selman didn't even care.

34:55He spent the night in the living room, half-asleep and half-awake, and went to school in the morning.

34:59Feyza's mother was now openly saying that she never wanted her.

35:04He wanted them to leave as soon as possible and for everyone to go their own way.

35:09They couldn't have children either.

35:11During their good days, they went to many doctors for treatment.

35:14Even after seeking treatment at major hospitals in Ankara, they found no solution.

35:18Selman's illness prevented them from having children.

35:22One day, much against their will, they went to a spiritual healer at the insistence of their family.

35:28They had been cursed.

35:30The curse of an innocent person had come true.

35:33Selman's heart ached when the teacher said he would never have children.

35:38His heart ached.

35:39His heart pounded as if it would leap out of his chest every time he saw Elif.

35:44It was hitting him again with the same force, making Selman stagger.

35:48He couldn't tell Feyza this.

35:50He couldn't explain it either.

35:52They broke up days later.

35:53Feyza started living with her mother.

35:57Selman had stopped going to school.

35:59People would sometimes see him at the train station, sometimes in the city park, and sometimes in the cemetery.

36:06He wasn't talking to anyone and wasn't answering any questions.

36:09From time to time he would make meaningless sounds from his throat and sometimes he would run up and down singing.

36:15The song she sang most often was Gülden Karaböcek's "Ayrılık Kollesi".

36:21Selman had lost his mind.

36:23Now, in the eyes of the public, he was the madman Selman.

36:26The children had started making fun of him.

36:28Whenever he encountered Feyza, he would immediately change his course and walk away grumbling.

36:33After some time, no one saw Selman in that city.

36:37Nobody knew where he had gone either.

36:38He had only come to ask Feyza for the brown coat he had thrown over his shoulders when he was cold on the night he first met Elif.

36:47It's unknown how many months or years passed, but one day, a man with disheveled hair and beard entered the minibus of the driver, Sadık.

36:54Although it was summer, a man dressed warmly and looking quite old from the outside got in.

37:00Nobody recognized him, not even Sadik.

37:03Although everyone was curious, no one dared to ask who he was or where he was going.

37:07As soon as they arrived at the village, they got out of the minibus and walked straight towards İnkaya.

37:14The villagers just stood there watching him go.

37:16Some called him crazy, some called him insane, some even called him mad.

37:21As he passed through the village, a few children tried to tease him.

37:25He walked on, oblivious.

37:28He climbed to the highest point of İnkaya and sat down.

37:31It was silent.

37:31Sometimes he would fidget, muttering something in incomprehensible grunts, and sometimes he would hum songs softly.

37:40He stayed there until dusk.

37:43The village headman called the ranger and told him to check on him without causing any disturbance.

37:49When the ranger arrived at İnkaya, the man was descending from a height.

37:53The ranger recognized Selman the moment he saw him.

37:55No sooner had Selman said "Welcome, teacher?" than he shot the ranger a piercing look and quickly walked away.

38:02The ranger shouted again, but he couldn't stop her.

38:06When Elif heard the village headman say that the stranger was Selman the teacher, she had a coughing fit and collapsed to the ground.

38:13Blood was coming from his mouth.

38:15They quickly put Elif in a minibus and took her to the district hospital.

38:19He spent weeks in the hospital.

38:21Selman never left the area while Elif was in the hospital.

38:26Doctors said Elif needed to be admitted to a sanatorium in Ankara.

38:31They returned to the village, and days passed.

38:33Elif, who had recovered somewhat in the hospital, deteriorated again as the weather turned colder.

38:39On a rainy, snowy winter day, the village headman took the night train.

38:43When they arrived at the train station to take Elif to Ankara Sanatorium Hospital,

38:47They saw someone wearing a brown coat sitting on a bench in the station waiting room.

38:54Elif's heart felt cold for the last time this time.

38:57Because the person he saw had received Elif's curse, subsequently went mad, and embarked on his eternal journey to distant lands on the last train of the night.

39:07He was a man who had gone out.

39:08Yes, dear friends, that man was Salman.

39:12So what do you think Elif did?

39:14Elif took off the black-stoned necklace she always wore and placed it next to Selman,

39:21He boarded the train, which was blowing its mournful whistle, and set off towards Ankara.

39:26Elif had never forgotten Selman anyway.

39:29Elif kept Selman's name a secret, hidden in the necklace around her neck.

39:33She never forgave Selman.

39:35But she could never completely erase Selman's love from her delicate heart.

39:40Was all this suffering worth it?

39:42Was it worth leaving such a pure love alone in this world to a wasting illness?

39:48What would have happened if they had boarded the last train of the night together?
