“After earning a spot in this city’s prestigious mechanical engineering department, I was very pleased when I saw Ferda in my class. It was then when I felt proud of my success. After Hatice, it was the first time I‘d encountered a girl who put a smile on my face. After my devastating experience with Hatice, I forgot about her and wasn’t very hopeful on whether or not I was able to take another passionate plunge. Then again, I needed endearment that would make me forget about Hatice’s departure. Ferda, who got me excited, could fit the bill quite nicely. Because there was a huge, bloody photograph that I needed to forget and Hatice was in that image.” Page 170
