“What’s going on?” I asked abruptly; whispering as if I were her confidant。

Indecisive  Hayriye  had  of  course  understood  that  there  was  no  hope  of

claiming any authority over Shekure after Enishte Effendi’s death。 And a short

while ago; she was the one mourning with the most heartfelt tears。

“What’s to bee of me; now?” she said。

“Shekure  holds  you  in  high  regard;”  I  said  in  my  habit  of  giving  news。

Lifting up the lids of the pots of halva lined up between the large clay jar of

grape  molasses  and  the  pickle  jar;  sneaking  a  fingerful  from  one  or  simply

leaning over to smell another; I asked who’d sent each of them。

Hayriye  was  rattling  off  who’d  sent  which  pot:  “This  one’s  from  Kas?m

Effendi of Kayseri; this one; the assistant from the miniaturists division who

lives two streets over; that’s from the locksmith; Left…Handed Hamdi; that one;

the young bride from Edirne—” when Shekure interrupted her。

“Kalbiye;  the  late  Elegant  Effendi’s  widow;  didn’t  e  to  offer  her

condolences; didn’t send word and didn’t send any halva either!”

She was heading from the kitchen door to the foot of the stairs。 I followed

her; knowing that she wanted to have a word with me in private。

“There was no ill…will between Elegant Effendi and my father。 On the day of

Elegant’s funeral; we prepared our halva and sent it to them。 I want to know

what’s going on;” Shekure said。

“I’ll go right away and find out;” I said; anticipating Shekure’s thoughts。

Since I kept our chat brief; she kissed me on the cheek。 As the cold of the

courtyard  bit  into  us;  we  embraced  and  stood  there  without  moving。

Afterward; I stroked my beautiful Shekure’s hair。

“Esther; I’m afraid;” she said。

“My  dear;  don’t  be  afraid;”  I  said。  “Every  cloud  has  a  silver  lining。  Look;

you’re finally married。”

“But I’m not sure I did the right thing;” she said。 “That’s why I haven’t let

him get near me。 I spent the night beside my unfortunate father。”

She  opened  her  eyes  wide  and  looked  at  me  in  a  way  that  said;  You

understand what I mean。

“Hasan  claims  that  your  wedding  is  null  in  the  eyes  of  the  judge;”  I  said。
