“Your grandfather fell asleep in that room;” I whispered。

But I noticed that they hesitated for a moment。 “Let’s be certain that the

evil  jinns  that’ve  possessed  your  grandfather  and  made  him  sick  don’t  set

upon the both of you as well;” I said。 “Go to your room; now。” I grabbed both

of them by their hands and put them into the room where we slept together。

“Tell me then; what were you doing out on the streets till this hour?” “We saw

some  black  beggars;”  said  Shevket。  “Where?”  I  asked。  “Were  they  carrying

flags?” “As we were climbing the hill。 They gave Hayriye a lemon。 Hayriye gave

them  some  money。  They  were  covered  in  snow。”  “What  else?”  “They  were

practicing  shooting  arrows  at  a  target  in  the  square。”  “In  this  snow?”  I  said。

“Mother;  I’m  cold;”  said  Shevket。  “I’m  going  into  the  room  with  the  blue

door。” “You’re not to leave this room;” I said。 “Otherwise you’ll die。 I’ll bring

you  the  brazier。”  “Why  do  you  say  we’re  going  to  die?”  said  Shevket。  “I’m

going  to  tell  you  something;”  I  said;  “but  you’re  not  to  tell  anyone;  are  we

understood?” They swore not to tell。 “While you were out; a pletely white

man  who’d  died  and  lost  his  color  came  here  from  a  faraway  country  and

spoke to your grandfather。 It turns out he was a jinn。” They asked me where

the  jinn  came  from。  “From  the  other  side  of  the  river;”  I  said。  “Where  our

father  is?”  asked  Shevket。  “Yes;  from  there;”  I  said。  “The  jinn  came  to  take  a

look at the pictures in your grandfather’s books。 They say that a sinner who

looks at those pictures immediately dies。”

A silence。

“Listen;  I’m  going  downstairs  to  be  with  Hayriye;”  I  said。  “I’m  going  to

carry the brazier in here; as well as the dinner tray。 Don’t even think of leaving

the room or you’ll die。 The jinn is still in the house。”

“Mama; Mama; don’t go;” Orhan said。

I squared myself to Shevket。 “You’re responsible for your brother;” I said。 “If

you leave the room and the jinn doesn’t get you; I’ll be the one who kills you。”

I put on the frightening expression that I made before slapping them。 “Now

pray that your ill grandfather doesn’t die。 If you’re good; God will grant you

your prayers and no one will be able to harm you。” Without giving themselves

over to it too much; they began to pray。 I went downstairs。

“Somebody  knocked  over  the  pot  of  orange  jam;”  said  Hayriye。  “The  cat

couldn’t have done it; not strong enough; a dog couldn’t have gotten into the

house…”

She abruptly saw the terror on my face and stopped: “What’s the matter;

then;”  she  said;  “what  happened?  Has  something  happened  to  your  dear

father?”

“He’s dead。”
