00:00While clearing the battlefield, a soldier accidentally discovered a little girl alive in the ruins.
00:05Feeling sorry for her, he wanted to take her away.
00:07But the girl was scared.
00:09She clung tightly to her mother's hand.
00:11Her mother was already gone forever.
00:13The soldier gently told her he wasn't a bad person.
00:15But they didn't speak the same language.
00:17So the girl couldn't understand a word he said.
00:20Still, she could feel his kindness.
00:22Without hesitation, she threw herself into his arms.
00:25That hug crossed borders.
00:26From that moment on, the two would spend the next 50 years missing each other.
00:30When his fellow soldiers saw him carrying a child from the enemy's side, they were shocked.
00:35After all, in the middle of a war, taking care of a little girl was extremely dangerous.
00:39But no one had the heart to abandon a homeless child.
00:42So they brought her back to the military camp together.
00:45In the days that followed, the girl stayed by his side almost every second.
00:49But the battlefield was full of danger.
00:51While protecting her, the soldier was hit by a shell.
00:54Only after making sure the girl was safe.
00:56Did he finally collapse unconscious?
00:58His condition also deeply worried the girl.
01:01He remained unconscious in the hospital for two days and two nights.
01:04And for those entire two days, the girl stayed beside his bed.
01:07The moment she saw him wake up, a smile finally appeared on her face.
01:13They still couldn't understand each other's language.
01:16But the girl could feel Suleiman's warmth and care.
01:19Doing her hair was probably a little difficult for hands used to holding a rifle.
01:23So the girl willingly cut her hair short.
01:25But she refused to sleep in her own bed.
01:27Whenever she heard the sound of artillery, she would quietly crawl into Suleiman's bed.
01:31His fellow soldiers would silently pull the blanket over both of them.
01:35The girl had witnessed her parents' deaths not long before.
01:38Since then, she hadn't spoken a single word.
01:41Suleiman wanted to teach her Turkish, so they could communicate.
01:44He also gave her the name Ayla, meaning moonlight.
01:47To remember the night they met under the moonlight.
01:49With his constant care, Ayla slowly became more cheerful.
01:53She even brought laughter to the soldiers' otherwise boring training.
01:56She learned more and more words.
01:57And little by little, she opened her heart to him.
02:00Baba.
02:01For the first time, Suleiman understood how much weight the word father carried.
02:06He also began to understand the responsibility that came with being one.
02:09Ayla had become part of Suleiman's lonely life in a foreign land.
02:13A year had passed since the soldiers arrived in Korea to provide support.
02:16Now the first group of soldiers was due to return home.
02:19One by one, they said goodbye to Ayla, knowing they might never see her again.
02:23To take care of Ayla, Suleiman decided to stay behind as a volunteer.
02:28But when his girlfriend back home found out, she was furious.
02:31Their plans to get married after he left the army were now ruined.
02:34Even Suleiman wasn't sure if he had made the right choice.
02:37He missed his own home too.
02:39But he couldn't leave behind Ayla, who now saw him as her father.
02:42Then the situation changed, and the entire unit was ordered to return home.
02:46The commanding officer planned to send Ayla to an orphanage in Turkey that was helping children in Korea.
02:51Even though Suleiman couldn't bear to leave her, he had no choice but to go see her school first,
02:56not wanting Ayla to become upset.
02:58Suleiman told her he was just bringing her to school.
03:01He pointed to the other children and said,
03:03These are your friends, you don't have to be afraid.
03:05With his encouragement, Ayla reluctantly followed the teacher into the classroom.
03:09But soon, the sound of a piano caught her attention.
03:12The song being played was the Turkish national anthem.
03:20When Suleiman wanted to hold Ayla one last time, Ayla had already stepped out of his arms.
03:25Wanting to make her father proud, Ayla couldn't wait to join the choir.
03:29Suleiman stood by the window, tears running down his face.
03:32He stared at her smiling face, unable to look away.
03:35Seeing that Ayla had found a new place to stay, he had no choice but to hold back his sadness
03:39and walk away.
03:40Maybe she sensed his tears, maybe she felt that her father was about to leave her.
03:55To keep that promise, Suleiman decided to find a way to take Ayla back to Turkey with him.
04:02He threw away his belongings, emptied out his suitcase, and made a small hole in it.
04:07His plan was to hide Ayla inside the suitcase and take her home.
04:10The two agreed to hide inside it.
04:12If they could get through security, they would be able to board the ship.
04:15The staff noticed something was wrong with the suitcase.
04:18But because they trusted him, they let him pass.
04:20Just when Suleiman thought they had gotten away with it, the orphanage director arrived.
04:25She had realized that Ayla was missing.
04:27With no other choice, the suitcase was opened on the spot.
04:30Their plan to take Ayla home was over.
04:32His fellow soldiers told him he could come back for her after the war.
04:35There was nothing else Suleiman could do.
04:37He had to leave Ayla behind for now.
04:39The pain of their separation hit them all at once.
04:42Every word was filled with sadness.
04:46The moment her father stood up to leave, Ayla could no longer hold back her tears.
04:50But as she watched him walk farther and farther away, she forced herself not to cry.
04:55In an era of war, when communication was extremely difficult,
04:59returning to a country on the other side of the world was anything but easy.
05:02For the father and daughter who had no blood relation, their next reunion seemed almost impossible.
05:07A few days later, Suleiman finally returned home.
05:10But his girlfriend wasn't there to meet him.
05:12Then he learned that she had gotten engaged.
05:14A deep sadness washed over him.
05:16She believed he had given all his love to Ayla.
05:19And by secretly trying to take Ayla away, she felt he had betrayed her and their relationship.
05:24In just a few days, Suleiman had lost the girl he loved so dearly.
05:28Now he had also been abandoned by his girlfriend.
05:30For the first time in his life, he felt completely empty.
05:33He felt he had nothing left to stay for.
05:35So he left a letter for his parents.
05:38Five months later, Suleiman married a woman he didn't love.
05:41He then moved to Istanbul and started a new life with his wife.
05:44After they got married, his wife noticed that he was always distracted.
05:48He left home early and came back late every day.
05:51She believed he was hiding something.
05:53So they finally sat down and talked honestly about Ayla.
05:56Suleiman told her everything he had kept inside for years.
05:59It turned out that whenever he left home early and came back late,
06:02he was actually going to the Korean embassy to ask about Ayla.
06:06He also told his wife about everything that had happened between him and Ayla at the military camp.
06:11His wife listened closely.
06:12Suleiman had expected her to misunderstand him.
06:15Instead, she fully supported him.
06:17From then on, she went to the embassy with him every day to ask about Ayla.
06:21But every time, there was still no news.
06:24The war was still going on.
06:25And communication back then was extremely limited.
06:28Finding Ayla was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
06:31If Suleiman truly wanted to find her, he would have to go to Korea himself.
06:35But those were no longer the days when he could simply travel there whenever he wanted.
06:39Remembering the promise he had made to Ayla and knowing he couldn't fulfill it,
06:43Suleiman sank into despair.
06:45Thankfully, his wife stayed by his side.
06:48She always tried to see things from his perspective and gave him all the encouragement she could.
06:5247 years passed in the blink of an eye.
06:55The young Suleiman was now an old man with white hair.
06:57But after all those years, he had never stopped missing Ayla.
07:00He lived every day consumed by memories of her.
07:03Seeing her husband like this, his wife was filled with mixed emotions.
07:07Suleiman had only one wish left in life.
07:09He wanted to see Ayla one more time before he died.
07:12When he heard that a Korean rescue team was coming, the old man stayed glued to the television.
07:17He stared at every female member of the rescue team on the screen, afraid that Ayla might be among them.
07:22And he would miss her.
07:23Three years later, Korea and Turkey faced each other in the World Cup.
07:27Suleiman recorded the entire game.
07:29Whenever the camera showed the Korean crowd, he would pause the recording and carefully look at people one by one.
07:35It was the only way he could think of to find Ayla.
07:37His children were deeply worried about him.
07:39But no matter how much they tried to convince him to stop, Suleiman refused.
07:43He was still holding on to the promise he had made all those years ago.
07:47Eventually, Suleiman's story with Ayla attracted media attention.
07:50A reporter decided to follow his story exclusively.
07:53After learning about their past, she traveled to Korea and searched through the records from that time.
07:59With everyone's help, she finally found six of Ayla's former classmates.
08:03They revealed that Ayla had changed her name to Kim Young Ah.
08:05They still remembered how shy she was when she first entered the school.
08:09And they remembered how she was always talking about her dad coming back for her.
08:13When Suleiman finally heard that there was news about Ayla, a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
08:17But what the reporter said next sent him from heaven straight back to hell.
08:21She told him Ayla might already be dead.
08:24The news crushed him.
08:25A wave of grief completely overwhelmed Suleiman.
08:27But all those years of persistence hadn't been for nothing.
08:30After the reporter refused to give up, Ayla's whereabouts were finally discovered.
08:34But because of Suleiman's advanced age, the reporter decided not to tell him yet.
08:39Instead, she traveled alone to Korea and went to Ayla's home.
08:43The moment Ayla saw the old photographs the reporter brought, she broke down.
08:47Tears streamed down her face.
08:48At the same time, when Suleiman finally learned that Ayla was still alive, he immediately traveled to Korea with his
08:55wife.
08:55Then a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
08:58The old man recognized her instantly.
09:00It was his daughter, Ayla.
09:01Time had changed her face.
09:03But in Suleiman's heart, Kim Young Ah was still that five-year-old little girl.
09:07They ran toward each other.
09:08After more than 50 years of separation and searching, their story finally came to a beautiful end.
09:13War tore countless families apart.
09:15But it also brought two people with no blood relation together.
09:18They had no shared language.
09:20They came from different countries.
09:21They spent only one year together.
09:23Yet their bond was stronger than many blood relationships.
09:26And this story really happened.
