Dialogue
Yes. We were in love.
It was a really long time ago... Do you want to know about an old lady's past?
Okay. Actually, it's not a big deal.
Keres left suddenly, and he said he's going to follow the merchants.
But I could see in his eyes that he wanted me to wait for him.
We spent a lot of time together, so I could tell.
I waited for the merchants under a tree on the hill in Altinova every day.
I always hoped he'd show up before dusk.
I'd waited for him for about 5 years.
I was in my late 20's, and I was disappointed in him, because he hadn't sent me a single letter.
You know, 5 years is not a short period of time. So I married a guy
who always protected me, since Keres had gone.
And I've got Suara. I was so happy...
After another 5 years, Keres came back...
My heart was pounding for a moment after I heard the news that he came back,
but I had a pretty daughter, so I could calm myself easily.
Anyway, I'm quite surprised he still is single and leaves food...
I must show my gratitude... I think that's the right thing to do...
Oh, I heard Suara asked that someone find out what was happening.
Please tell her what's going on. She might be surprised.

We had a really difficult time after my husband left.
But I feel much better now, thanks to Keres. I'm really thankful.

What? Is that true?
He's so great. And my mother is great, too.
