where is my ring cirin Zanep said while her eyes were locked on the empty ring
0:31
finger his voice echoed through the room even the clock in the hall seemed to
0:37
stop at that moment silence overwhelmed everything then Cirin bowed his head he
0:43
put the coffee cup in his hand on the coffee table his eyes touched Zanep for a moment but she immediately ran
0:50
away i don't know maybe he's lost Cirin said looking at the watch on his arm
0:57
cirin my ring was by the sink i only took it off for 5 minutes and then you
1:03
came and now there is none Zayb said saying the words one by one cirin rubbed
1:10
his neck with his hand he did not speak for some time he fixed his eyes on the
1:15
ceiling then on the floor then again on Zanb but there was guilt in those looks
1:21
more than ever look maybe he fell somewhere by mistake
1:26
it could have passed through the filter while cleaning Cirin said Zanep's heart
1:31
started beating faster the knot in her throat was growing it's possible that a sink swallowed that ring that she's been
1:38
wearing for 10 years loaded with meaning with everything could this have been as simple as Cirin said "you took my ring,"
1:46
Zayb said her eyes misting up "are you crazy Zanb?" Cirin said taking a step
1:53
back what should I do with your ring do you know what you did zayb said lowering
1:59
her voice you're starting to come in late at night now your phone is on silent all the time you're making up
2:06
lies to avoid seeing me and I fell silent i was silent to everything but
2:11
this this is completely different zanep that's enough Cirin said while his eyes
2:18
were shooting fire i am overwhelmed by your doubts your
2:23
accusations do you think I'm not overwhelmed zayb said without wiping away her
2:31
tears haven't I been overwhelmed every night waiting for you to return defending you even when there is no
2:37
bread left in the house cirin was silent for a moment he put his hand in his
2:42
pocket he took out his phone but didn't touch it his fingers were trembling then
2:47
he bent his head forward swallowed "okay," he said in a whisper "i bought
2:54
the ring." Zay took her breath away with the sentence she heard something like
3:00
ice flowed into his veins her eyes widened her lips parted but not a word
3:06
came out there were debts Siran said things had been going badly for some
3:12
time one my friend said "The stock market
3:17
cryptocurrency." He said "You'll pack it up quickly." The wedding gold was not enough then the ring remained zanep
3:26
collapsed where she was his knees trembled all the confidence pride faith in him was destroyed "did you spend my
3:34
ring on a gaming site?" Zanep said in a muffled voice "i didn't lose i just
3:41
tried i could have taken it back i still have a chance Cirin said you're not my
3:47
husband anymore Zayb said shaking her head you are a stranger me my family my
3:54
friends our house you gave it all to gambling all of them cirin fell silent zanep raised her
4:04
head and for the first time at that moment she looked at Cirin not only with
4:09
anger but with pity and that look landed in Cirin's eyes hit his heart from his
4:16
eyes i'm going to divorce you zayb said "Let me tell you this here now it's over
4:22
now." "Zanb don't." Cirin said "I can fix everything i swear." "What else are
4:30
you going to fix?" Zayb said "You have defrauded my family you also took my
4:35
mother's saved money you're in debt to my sister you mortgaged the house you
4:41
have become the husband of the devil Cirin not mine cirin took his
4:46
decapitated head between his hands he didn't make a sound anymore he just fell
4:52
silent with trembling shoulders zanep stood up wiped away tears he looked at the finger without a
4:59
ring for a while then slowly lowered that hand "i'm going to get out of this
5:04
wreck Cirin and as a woman who is stronger than you ever expected," she said and then he slammed the door and
5:12
left only silence betrayal and a lost ring remained behind when Zanep went to
5:19
her mother's house that night she hadn't even packed a suitcase he was still wearing the ironed blue shirt he had
5:26
worn when he left the house in the morning the cold of the paving stones had penetrated through his shoes to his
5:33
feet but he was neither cold nor shivering at that moment he was just
5:39
carrying the dullness inside him his mother opened the door the lines on her
5:45
face didn't leave her daughter needing to say anything "do you want to go to bed?" said his mother "i just want to
5:53
shut up for a while," Zanb said they did not speak that night but her mother put
5:58
a glass of warm milk by Zayb's bedside he laid out the old quilt the blanket
6:03
left over from his childhood zayb closed her eyes but could not sleep and he went
6:09
into the past while staring at the ceiling the year she met Siran was 2014
6:18
he was standing in a corner of that fast hurried life passing through Istanbul reading a book in a cafe cirin was at
6:25
the next table i came up to him and said "Can we talk about your book?" He had
6:31
said for the first time someone had listened to him by looking him in the
6:36
eye in those days Serarkin was a calm man with a soft voice he was the kind of
6:43
guy who curled his shirt sleeves so that his ankle was exposed threw a candy in his coffee and preferred to walk by the
6:50
curb when walking zanep on the other hand was a woman who was bored with the crowd and hope to be loved deep down on
6:58
the first date Siren said "I am an honest man." Zayb said "My biggest
7:04
weakness is that I don't trust people." Quickly they got engaged a few months
7:09
later the families were very happy at their wedding zanep's father gave Cirin
7:14
a box full of gold "let there be no lack of blessings in your home," he said
7:21
the first years were beautiful cirin used to bring flowers every evening when he came home zanb they used to go into
7:29
the kitchen and cook together the laughter was high the hopes were hitting the ceiling and coming back but then
7:35
something changed uncertain quiet easy does it it's just like autumn at first
7:42
the leaves would turn yellow then they started falling but no one remembers on
7:48
which branch that first shed leaf was zanep straightened up shaking off the memories his mother was still awake
7:55
light was filtering in from the corridor he went down to the kitchen he sat down at the end of the table her mother had
8:02
made tea he sat down opposite her "take out whatever you're holding inside," his
8:08
mother said "i can't keep a secret from my mother." Zanep took a deep breath he
8:14
fooled me Mom she said he lost his gold on the stock exchange in things called
8:19
crypto then he borrowed money it extended to my sister to my uncle to
8:24
your pension he even took my latest ring his mother's face hardened why did you
8:30
hide this from you said because I thought one day it would be okay Zanb
8:35
said i prayed every night as long as it gets better I said but gambling got me
8:41
out of him Mom he dragged her into a darkness that would never bring her back
8:47
his mother took his hand "byond being my daughter you have the most beautiful
8:53
heart in this world," she said "but it's time to protect
8:59
yourself." Zanb closed her eyes for the first time he felt that he was literally
9:06
absent but this absence was not a void but the shore of a resumption point
9:12
the next morning she decided to write the divorce petition his lawyer called
9:18
then it developed very quickly cirin did not object he had collapsed under the
9:24
eyes she seemed to bear a face with which he no longer recognized
9:29
her ciran didn't say anything in the courtroom zanep just said "It's over
9:35
now." And that day the giant storm inside a woman that no one noticed subsided
9:42
instead not silence a decision a resistance a rebirth began to be built
9:48
but it was just at the beginning of the road zanep didn't even have a penny in
9:53
her pocket yet even the coat he was wearing was his mother's and on the
9:58
streets the remaining debtors from the ex-wife's circle were still knocking on her door but he no longer bowed to any
10:06
of them he would not stoop because Zanep is no longer just a widow she was a
10:12
woman who was born to stand up again when Zanep opened her eyes that morning she had made a decision he wasn't going
10:19
to feel sorry for himself he would no longer be interested in mourning the past but in digging up the future like
10:26
hands coming out of the ground dirty cracked but strong
10:32
he found an old notebook in his mother's kitchen it's from high school it said
10:37
"Zanep's dreams on the cover one of its pages was open i want to open my own
10:44
bakery there will be not only sweets in it but also peace." He had stuck a dried
10:51
rose in the corner of the page now that rose had turned gray from dust but the
10:56
dream was still there first of all he listed the debts he wrote about what
11:02
happened to relatives friends and the bank one by one he owed a total of
11:08
$280,000 however he only had 200 laser left in his pocket his mother quietly
11:14
approached him "you can continue to stay at home," he said "i'll share my pension with you." "No Mom," Zayb said "i'm
11:23
going to stand up by myself now i will clean up these debts this shame this past." His mother averted her eyes "and
11:31
how is it?" said "I will take the first step without knowing," Zayb said "but I
11:38
won't stop it wasn't easy to find a job there were gaps in his CV no one
11:44
considered the years spent as a housewife valuable." Every question asked in the interviews seemed to try to
11:51
shrink him why didn't your husband let you work wouldn't it be hard for you to start from scratch after this age have
11:58
you no children are you married are you a widow they were all giving the same
12:03
look curiously mixed disdain one day he saw the employee
12:09
wanted advertisement on the window of a cafe entry the owner of the place was a
12:15
young woman his name was Alif can you do waitressing alif said if I don't I'll
12:21
die zanab said alif stopped then he held out his hand come tomorrow morning at
12:28
8," he said working in a cafe felt like an embarrassment at first he bowed his
12:34
head when acquaintances came some customers spoke sarcastically "weren't you the one who
12:40
lived in the luxury district Zayb?" "What happened to Cirin?" But Zanep
12:45
never answered he just said "Bon Aati." One day while working at the
12:51
counter a leaf approached him "your hands are different," he said do you know how to make sweets zayb looked up
12:59
i've been in the kitchen since I was a kid he said i know my mother's recipe
13:04
book by heart elf smiled if you have free time tomorrow make a cake let's see
13:10
if we'll like it said the next day she made a lemon poppy seed cake he
13:15
sprinkled fine powdered sugar on it the first customer who came to the cafe ate
13:20
and told the friend next to him all the cake was finished that day the next day
13:26
two trays of Zanep's cake were made within a week the from Zanep's kitchen
13:32
section was added to the menu little flashes were slowly being born although
13:38
he got tired at night he took notes when he got home he wrote the recipes made
13:43
the price calculations dreamed of his own shop he started saving money in a box he put in 20 on the first day then
13:51
50 then 100 one night his mother saw that box "what are you up to?" said "I'm
13:58
after my own life," Zayb said "but not everything was easy." "One day Cirin's
14:04
former creditor came to the cafe he sat down at the table they came face to
14:09
face." "My money is gone because of you," the man said zayb answered while
14:15
wiping her hands without bowing her head "i lost everything too," she said but
14:21
you're still chasing the past i'm not the man paused for a moment then he left
14:27
without even looking back elif came to him how can you stay so calm said I have
14:34
experienced greater pain Zanf said and I digested my sufferings now it's time to
14:39
turn them into money elif laughed i'd like to do a job with you he said
14:47
something in common zayanb stopped for a moment his dream came before his eyes that old notebook
14:55
with a rose leaf on one condition he said "It will have hope in its name
15:02
because this dream was born out of despair when Zayb woke up that morning
15:08
there was a strange flutter in her heart they were going to put into practice what he and Alif had decided together
15:15
now setting up her own production kitchen selling homemade sweets to the cafes and boutique bakeries of the
15:22
district this was the first real step of the dream that Zanep had buried in her heart for years but no dream was
15:30
realized by walking easily on broken plates they rented a small shop with
15:35
Elf's connections one eye almost like a warehouse but when Zayb looked at those
15:41
cracked walls she saw the foundation stones of a kingdom on the first day
15:46
they took sponges in their hands they scraped the walls cleaned the ovens created space to work on the workbench
15:54
when his mother came in the evening he looked at the kitchen like this is this your dream place said "This is the
16:01
beginning." Zayb said "My dream is bigger." His mother shook her head the
16:08
more one imagines the more one suffers he said zayb continued to wipe the oven
16:14
without raising her head i've already suffered enough he said now I'm going to
16:21
polish off that pain the first production day has arrived zanep needed dough from the
16:28
night poured it on the tray in the morning lit the oven elf watched with
16:33
excitement "you have magic in your hands," he said there is no fear in my
16:39
hands anymore Zanb said when the sweets were ready they went to three cafes in
16:44
the district with trays in their laps some of them didn't even look at their faces some of them said "We buy from the
16:51
wholesaler." But one of them a small cafe where there was a young barista manager took a bite out of a slice of
16:57
cake on the catering plate and his eyes lit up "how much do you give this dessert for?" said Zanep said the number
17:05
the guy didn't even negotiate i would like the same again tomorrow he said
17:12
elif laughed with excitement see said "We have just made a sale this is not a
17:17
victory this is an invitation," Zayb said at the end of the first week three
17:23
more cafes started ordering sweets zayb was working until 3 at night there were
17:28
cracks in his fingers but his eyes were sparkling one day Aif came to the store
17:34
in a hurry the women's group on the site is talking about you she said Cirin's
17:39
friends have drowned you in gossip what did they say zanb said you were making
17:45
excuses for cake and dessert seeing men collaborating with the e owner of the
17:50
cafe you ended your marriage zanep took a deep breath he turned to the counter
17:57
she started mixing the cake batter elam speaks he said "I won't listen
18:04
anymore." One day when he came to the front of the store early in the morning he saw a sentence written in spray paint
18:11
on the shutter "Look at the widow's business." There was a freezing moment alaf deleted it immediately but Zanep
18:19
watched the location of the article for a long time then he took a brush in his hand painted the shutter from head to
18:25
toe and he wrote the following words on it don't interfere with the woman's
18:33
business in the evening the photo of that post began to spread on social media some supported some attacked more
18:41
but now Zanep had become visible a week later a woman came he is old his head is
18:48
covered he had a bag in his hand "my daughter liked your cake very much," he
18:53
said "would you like to take an order for your birthday?" Zanb nodded with her eyes full of course
19:00
I would he said months passed zanb had now set up her own bakery even an
19:06
employee took it with him ellf had moved on to another job but she still came by often this kitchen has become something
19:14
else he said one day this is the garden that was born from my grave Zanb said but as things
19:21
got bigger other exams started to come out an old friend came to the door her
19:28
name was Melis they were very close at the time of their marriage i heard but I
19:33
couldn't believe it meis said "For someone like you to recover so quickly." "I didn't pack up." Zayb said "My wounds
19:41
are still open but I've learned to walk." Melissa took a business card out of her pocket "my boss wants to invest
19:50
do you want to switch to the franchise system?" Zanf took the business card has read
19:57
then he laid it softly on the table i want to stay on my own two feet for now
20:03
he said melissa laughed lightly will you always like to be alone
20:09
like this zanep fixed her eyes on his don't confuse loneliness with freedom he
20:15
said i am free now at the end of the episode Zayb closed
20:21
her shop he pulled down the shutter he sat down on the floor he put his hands
20:27
on his knees he took a deep breath he looked up at the sky "they buried me,"
20:33
he said to himself "but I was the seed." "Zanb always got up at the same time in
20:38
the morning." "Now this order was engraved on the body clock it's 7:00 a
20:44
cup of black coffee a silent prayer then take the key to the store and travel but
20:51
when he came to the door that morning he found a letter on the floor the envelope was old slightly wrinkled there was a
20:57
handwriting on it that he recognized zanep I just want to see you once i
21:03
promise I will get out of your life again Cir his fingers trembled the emotion
21:11
surging within him whether it was anger fear or longing he could not
21:16
distinguish he crumpled the envelope put it in his pocket he opened the door lit
21:23
the oven but nothing he took into his hands that day turned out the way he wanted the dough did not swell the cake
21:31
became like a stone his eyes constantly shifted to the clock
21:37
when he closed the store in the evening he saw her on the corner of the street the same guy but deflated her shoulders
21:45
have dropped her eyes have collapsed her hair has gone white sir Khan took a step
21:53
forward then he stopped "thank you for coming," he said zanep looked at it in
21:59
silence his eyes scanned her this man to whom she had once entrusted her life was
22:05
now a stranger what do you want said to see your face for the last time Cirin
22:12
said zay bowed her head i am no longer a face for you i am everything that you
22:17
have lost cirin nodded softly i want to tell you something he said just listen
22:25
then you can leave i'll never bother you again zanep did not answer they sat on a
22:32
bench the street was crowded but they seemed to be in a
22:37
vacuum after the divorce I traveled along the same roads for a few more months Cirin said one day I came across
22:44
a woman on the metro bus wearing a ring that I sold secretly from you that scene
22:50
flashed in my eye i felt ashamed of myself then I went after that woman he
22:55
said he had the ring stolen i saw that everything had sunk in i have nothing
23:00
left to lose one night I collapsed on the sidewalk when I woke up there was a
23:07
cardboard box on top of me a homeless person covered it up that's when I
23:13
realized I didn't fall Zanep i have destroyed myself by taking you down as
23:19
well zanep's eyes were full but she didn't pour them out you have destroyed
23:25
me he said you have destroyed my family my honor my security i know Cirin said but I will
23:34
say one thing more i have seen your rise i watched in silence i was
23:40
proud i don't need to hear this Zanb said because I had that pride for
23:46
myself seren bowed his head i just don't want you to forgive but don't carry me
23:53
throw it out of it and move on zayb stood up he pulled out of his pocket a
23:59
similar ring that Cirin had given him years ago but which was later stolen it
24:04
was a ring he made himself through the window it had a slightly broken
24:10
edge i carried this ring in my pocket in a broken form he said "Every time I
24:16
looked I remembered the battles inside me but today I'm giving it to you because I don't need him anymore." Cirin
24:24
wanted to take it with his hand but Zanb left it on the ground a light wind blew the glass ring
24:32
turned among the decking stones "i don't forgive you," Zanep said "but I'm setting myself
24:39
free." He turned around and walked away cirin stayed there he bowed his head he
24:46
covered his face with his hand that night Zayb wiped the windows of the oven
24:53
inside there was the smell of cake cinnamon and hope the intern girl he
24:59
just got came to him "sister Zanb," he said "why are you silent
25:04
today?" Zanep looked up "sometimes you talk to a ghost," he said "but only then
25:11
do you realize that you're done with him." Later that week a TV channel came
25:16
to do an interview for Zanep's sweets many women who saw him on the screen texted their common phrase was "You are
25:23
our hope." Zanip gave the same answer to each of them "I was like you once." But
25:29
the real surprise would come when an old enemy unexpectedly returned and this
25:34
would be the biggest test Zan had ever faced zanep woke up early that morning
25:40
her eyes were fixed on the box on the top shelf of the closet a few letters that she had kept inside for years a few
25:47
photos crumbs left by a man who had once shared her life she would burn them
25:53
today before turning on the oven she brewed her tea sat down at the table
25:59
there was wind outside but another storm was brewing inside his phone rang a name
26:04
appeared on the screen aiden Guler Yuse this name came out of the dusty
26:10
notebooks of the past serin's old friend who got into debt while gambling wore
26:16
gold at Zanep's wedding and then sent a lean on his house she hesitated but he opened it zanep said
26:25
the woman do you remember me i remembered Zayb said coldly we need to
26:32
talk i have a proposal for you zanep's lips tightened what do you want said i
26:40
want to be a partner with you aton said "The brand of sweets you just opened made a big noise i also have a
26:47
restaurant chain we can build a franchise with you you have the right to the name the capital is on me." Zanep
26:55
replied after a short silence "you were the woman who once sent an execution to
27:01
my house," she said "i have not yet forgiven someone who has borrowed from me why should I accept you as a partner
27:09
because the strong one forgives Zayan aton said "You have won you don't need
27:14
to take revenge on anyone anymore only if you want to grow up." Zayb hung up
27:20
the phone he ate inside out during that day there was an attractive side to
27:26
offer she could not deny it but he was tired of carrying the weight of the past
27:32
on his back in the evening she was invited to a panel organized by women
27:37
entrepreneurs when he took the stage the eyes of hundreds of women in the hall
27:43
were on him i was once someone who didn't know what to wake up to in the morning when I was putting my head on
27:48
the pillow he said "My wife cheated me the only thing I had left was my honor
27:55
but then I realized that the greatest capital of a person is self-belief i
28:00
believed in myself applause broke out in the hall but one
28:06
question still echoed in Zanep's mind does the strong one forgive or does he
28:12
