Oh;  why  was  I  there  at  the  window  just  when  Black  rode  by  on  his  white

steed? Why did I open the shutters intuitively at that exact moment and stare

at  him  so  long  from  behind  the  snowy  branches  of  the  pomegranate  tree?  I

can’t  tell  you  for  sure。  I’d  sent  word  to  Esther  by  way  of  Hayriye。  I  was;  of

course; well aware that Black would take that route。 Meanwhile; I’d gone up

alone  to  the  room  with  the  built…in  closet  and  the  window  facing  the

pomegranate tree to inspect the sheets  in the chest。 On a whim; and at just

the  right  moment;  I  pushed  the  shutters  open  with  all  my  strength  and

sunlight flooded the room: Standing at the window; I came face…to…face with

Black; who; like the sun; dazzled me。 Oh; it was quite lovely。

He’d grown and matured and; having lost his awkward youthful lankiness;

he turned out to be a ely man。 Listen Shekure; my heart did tell me; he’s

not  only  handsome;  look  into  his  eyes;  he  possesses  the  heart  of  a  child;  so

pure; so alone: Marry him。 I; however; sent him a letter wherein I’d given him

quite the opposite message。

Though he was twelve years my elder; when I was twelve; I was more mature

than he。 Back then; instead of standing straight and tall before me in a fashion

befitting  a  man  and  announcing  that  he  was  going  to  do  this  or  that;  jump

from this spot or climb onto that thing; he’d just bury his face in some book

or picture; hiding as if everything embarrassed him。 In time; he also fell in love

with me。 He made a painting declaring his love。 We’d both matured by then。

When I turned twelve; I sensed that Black could no longer look into my eyes;

as  if  he  were  afraid  I’d  discover  he  loved  me。  “Hand  me  that  ivory…handled

knife;” he’d say; for example; looking at the knife but unable to look at me。 If I

asked  him;  for  instance;  “Is  the  cherry  sherbet  to  your  liking?”  he  couldn’t

simply indicate so with a delicate smile or nod; as we do when our mouths are

full; you see。 Instead; he’d scream “Yes” at the top of his lungs; as if trying to

municate  with  a  deaf  man。  He  feared  looking  me  in  the  face。  I  was  a

maiden of striking beauty then。 Any man who caught sight of me even once;

from afar; or from between parted curtains or yawning doors; or even through

the layers of my modest head coverings; immediately became enamored of me。

I’m  not  being  a  braggart;  I’m  explaining  this  so  you’ll  understand  my  story

and be better able to share in my grief。

In the well…known tale of Hüsrev and Shirin; there’s a moment that Black

and I had discussed at length。 Hüsrev’s friend; Shapur; intends to make Hüsrev

and Shirin fall in love。 One day Shirin embarks on a countryside outing with
