“Drrsss;” she said into the stable。

She turned around and guided us into Hayriye’s greasy…smelling and mice…

ridden kitchen。 She forced us to sit down。 “Don’t even consider standing until

our  guest  leaves。  And  don’t  fight  with  each  other  or  else  people  will  think

you’re spoiled。”

“Mother;” I said to her before she closed the kitchen door。 “I want to say

something; Mother: They’ve done our grandfather’s gilder in。”

I AM CALLED BLACK

When  I  first  laid  eyes  on  her  child;  I  knew  at  once  what  I’d  long  and

mistakenly  recalled  about  Shekure’s  face。  Like  Orhan’s  face;  hers  was  thin;
