the cursed and ominous barking of the pesky dogs roaming past the courtyard

gate—I was alarmed; to put it mildly。

“Hayriye;” I shouted。 “Shevket; Orhan…”

I felt a cold draft。 My father’s brazier must be burning; I ought to sit with

him and warm up。 As I went to be with him; holding an oil lamp aloft; my

thoughts weren’t with Black any longer; but with the children。

I crossed the wide hall diagonally; wondering if I should set water to boil on

the downstairs brazier for the gray mullet soup。 I entered the room with the

blue door。 Everything was in shambles。 Without thinking; I was about to say;

“What has my father done?”

Then I saw him on the floor。

I  screamed;  overe  with  horror。  Then  I  screamed  again。  Gazing  at  my

father’s body; I fell silent。

Listen; I can tell by your tight…lipped and cold…blooded reaction that you’ve

known for some time what’s happened in this room。 If not everything; then

quite  a  lot。  What  you’re  wondering  about  now  is  my  reaction  to  what  I’ve

seen;  what  I  feel。  As  readers  sometimes  do  when  studying  a  picture;  you’re

trying  to  discern  the  pain  of  the  hero  and  thinking  about  the  events  in  the

story leading up to this agonizing moment。 And then; having considered my

reaction;  you’ll  take  pleasure  in  trying  to  imagine;  not  my  pain;  but  what

you’d feel in my place; had it been your father murdered like this。 I know this

is what you’re so craftily trying to do。

Yes; I returned home in the evening to discover that someone had killed my

father。  Yes;  I  tore  out  my  hair。  Yes;  as  I  would  do  in  my  childhood;  I  hugged

him  with  all  my  might  and  smelled  his  skin。  Yes;  I  trembled  and  I  couldn’t

breathe。  Yes;  I  begged  Allah  to  raise  him  up  and  have  him  sit  silently  in  his

corner among his books as he always did。 Get up; Father; get up; don’t die。 His

bloodied head was crushed。 More than the torn papers and books; more than

196

the breaking and tossing about of the end tables; paint sets and inkpots; more

than the wild destruction of cushions; worktables and writing boards; and the

ransacking of everything; more even than the anger that had killed my father; I

feared the hatred that had destroyed the room and everything within it。 I was

no  longer  crying。  A  couple  passed  down  the  street  outside;  laughing  and

talking  in  the  blackness;  meanwhile;  I  could  hear  the  infinite  silence  of  the

world in my mind; with my hands I wiped my running nose and the tears off

my cheeks。 For a long long time I thought about the children and our lives。

I  listened  to  the  silence。  I  ran;  I  grabbed  my  father  by  the  ankles  and

dragged him into the hallway。 For whatever reason; he felt heavier out there;

but  without  paying  any  mind  to  this;  I  began  to  pull  him  down  the  stairs。
