Part 4

***

The young girl tried to open her eyes with the sound of her alarm, she didn't even

sleep properly last night, she was getting more and more excited, it was normal, of

course, this excitement was normal, her family was in an emotional vacuum, she didn't

know how this would happen.

Even he himself wanted to accept it was mostly empty, in fact, his favorite thing was

the evening and when everyone went to their room, he loved loneliness, he didn't

know what it is to be loved properly, he was sad, but it was just too much, he would

make his dreams come true, shouldn't he be happy? Of course it should have been,

but maybe he felt that very difficult times were waiting for him at the door, then he

would be more sad, he would be more introverted, he would take shelter in sleep,

which was his only support, sleep would pull him to himself, almost as if he was

penetrating himself…

The young girl opened her eyes slowly, she had a lot of work to do today, she was

going to stay in the dormitory and they had to buy the missing materials, now the time

was approaching, the sadness of separation had settled, she did her routine work in

the bathroom and went downstairs. Ms. Nermin was preparing breakfast.

- Good morning mom, the young girl headed to take out the breakfast dishes.

- Good morning, my daughter, I wish you had slept a little more, you know that today

will be a tiring day, said Ms. Nermin.

I couldn't sleep, I couldn't sleep, so I came to help you, said the young girl.

Breakfast was ready, now it was time to wake up the other members of the house.

Sinem went upstairs and woke everyone up, they all had their breakfast together,

happily Sinem was starting to pick up the breakfast dishes. At that time, Ms. Nermin's

phone started to ring. Sinem was guessing who was calling, and Ms. Nermin was

calling her grandmother.

Sinem brought the phone to Ms. Nermin's and she answered it and started talking to

her mother. His mother, Ayşe, used to call her children every morning. She had eight

children. Sinem used to make fun of Ms. Nermin from time to time, I guess it wasn't

your turn because she was still mom.

When Nermin Hanım's phone call was over, Sinem had already started to say what my

grandmother was saying. Today, you go with your father and get the missing things for

school, we will inform your aunt in the afternoon, we will go to your grandmother, my

daughter.

- All right, mom said, let's go, young girl, and let my aunt know.

- My daughter, I'll take care of the rest, you change and go with your father.

- All right, mom, I'm leaving, take it easy.

She said and went to her room, the young girl always preferred to wear sports clothes,

she took a jeans and a cream blouse from her closet and wore them, she was in favor

of simplicity, she put on a possible light make-up and was ready now.

He said, "Dad, I'm ready, if you're okay, we can go out."

Mr. Alper was a very understanding father, he said, let's go, my daughter. And they left

the house and went to the car.

Mr. Alper was a supporter of his daughter learning to drive in high school and he

wanted to teach her too . He had taught his son, he was going to teach Sinem first, but

the young girl could not even get behind the wheel because she was afraid, although

she had not learned from the calmest person she could learn.

- My daughter, if you want, we can try again, when summer comes, you will start your

driver's license course, and there is nothing difficult to learn, I will teach you.

- Dad, I'm still very scared, can you teach me when I come during the break?

- Of course, girl, as you wish.

When the young girl came home during the break, she did not know that she would

not find her father again, of course, life was strange, and as they always say, life is just

what happens to you while you are making plans, that's exactly how it was, life would

not keep any plans, it was a bitter truth.

Sinem took another look at her list and everything was ok.

- Sinem took one last look and there was nothing missing.

No, there's nothing missing, dad, we can go.

"Okay, girl, give me what you have, I'll take it to the car," he said, and took the two

bags from the young girl's hand.

She couldn't resist her daughter, she was always like this. They used to buy stationery

together when she was a kid. Usually now she's grown up, she would go to university.

She wanted her daughter to study like Ms. Nermin, she knew that her daughter would

read. He wouldn't make the mistakes he made, he would choose his friends well, it

was four years, after all, he would finish it and come, his daughter was going to study,

after all, he was going to save his life, not for anything else, he was very upset, but he

was consoled in this way.

His daughter would become an architect, he would open an office for her, what else

was he dreaming of, his daughter would be in the most beautiful places.

After the car journey with these thoughts, they had already arrived home, Ms. Nermin

greeted them at the door.

- Let's go inside, I made tea, let's drink it, then we'll go out with Sinem.

Tea was indispensable for Mr. Alper, he loved it very much. The family drank their tea,

mother and daughter got ready and left.

When they returned home, they had had a pleasant day and were tired enough to fall

asleep while watching TV.

Mr. Alper went to the office for a job, normally he would not go to the office today.

When he came home, he just stared at the view he met, he brought a blanket over his

wife and daughter and covered them. He knew that when they were woken up, they

both got angry and couldn't sleep.

He left them alone and went to his room.
