Kapkara bir k\u00f6pek \u00fcst\u00fcne do\u011fru ko\u015fa ko\u015fa gelip h\u0131rlad\u0131. Bal\u0131k\u00e7\u0131 bir s\u00f6\u011f\u00fct dal\u0131yla ona vurdu; k\u00f6pek a\u011flaya a\u011flaya uzakla\u015ft\u0131.<\/p>\n

Gecenin yar\u0131s\u0131nda havadan yarasalar gibi u\u00e7a u\u00e7a cad\u0131lar geldi. Yere konarlarken “Fiyuu!

O zaman tam dans edenlere do\u011fru d\u00f6rt nala ko\u015fan bir at\u0131n nal sesleri geldi. Ama g\u00f6r\u00fcn\u00fcrde at yoktu, Bal\u0131k\u00e7\u0131 korktu.<\/p>\n

Cad\u0131, “Daha h\u0131zl\u0131 daha h\u0131zl\u0131,” diye hayk\u0131r\u0131p kollar\u0131n\u0131 Bal\u0131k\u00e7\u0131’n\u0131n boynuna dolad\u0131, s\u0131cak solu\u011fu gencin y\u00fcz\u00fcn\u00fc ate\u015f gibi yalad\u0131. “Daha \u00e7abuk, daha \u00e7abuk!” diye hayk\u0131rd\u0131; ona, toprak ayaklar\u0131n\u0131n alt\u0131ndan yuvarlan\u0131yor gibi geldi, beynini bir karanl\u0131k kaplad\u0131; k\u00f6t\u00fc bir g\u00f6z kendisini seyrediyormu\u015f gibi \u00fcst\u00fcne b\u00fcy\u00fck bir korku \u00e7\u00f6kt\u00fc; sonunda bir kayan\u0131n g\u00f6lgesi alt\u0131nda daha \u00f6nce orada bulunmayan bir y\u00fcz\u00fc fark etti.<\/p>\n

Bu, siyah kadifeden \u0130spanyol bi\u00e7iminde giyinmi\u015f bir adamd\u0131. Y\u00fcz\u00fcnde acayip bir renksizlik vard\u0131; ama dudaklar\u0131 kendisini be\u011fenmi\u015f al bir \u00e7i\u00e7ek gibiydi. Yorgun bir g\u00f6r\u00fcn\u00fc\u015f\u00fc vard\u0131. Arkas\u0131na dayanm\u0131\u015f, ilgisiz ilgisiz han\u00e7erinin topuzuyla oynuyordu. Yan\u0131nda, \u00e7ay\u0131r\u0131n \u00fcst\u00fcnde t\u00fcyl\u00fc bir \u015fapkayla, kolluklar\u0131 s\u0131rma oya \u00fcst\u00fcne b\u00fcy\u00fck bir beceriyle inci i\u015flenmi\u015f bir \u00e7ift eldiven duruyordu.

Gen\u00e7 Bal\u0131k\u00e7\u0131 b\u00fcy\u00fclenmi\u015f gibi ona bakakald\u0131. Sonunda g\u00f6z g\u00f6ze geldiler; ne yanda dans etseler, ona, adam\u0131n g\u00f6zleri kendi \u00fczerine dikilmi\u015f gibi geldi. Cad\u0131n\u0131n kahkahas\u0131n\u0131 duydu, belinden kavrad\u0131, deli gibi f\u0131r\u0131l f\u0131r\u0131l d\u00f6nd\u00fcrd\u00fc, d\u00f6nd\u00fcrd\u00fc.<\/p>\n

Birdenbire bir k\u00f6pek uludu. Dans edenler durdu, iki\u015fer iki\u015fer adam\u0131n \u00f6n\u00fcnde diz \u00e7\u00f6kt\u00fcler, el \u00f6pt\u00fcler. T\u0131pk\u0131 bir ku\u015fun kanad\u0131n\u0131 de\u011fdirip suyu g\u00fcld\u00fcrmesi gibi, adam\u0131n kendini be\u011fenmi\u015f dudaklar\u0131na k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck bir g\u00fcl\u00fcmseme de\u011fdi; ama bunda k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fcmseme vard\u0131. Gen\u00e7 Bal\u0131k\u00e7\u0131’ya bak\u0131p duruyordu.<\/p>\n

Cad\u0131, “Hadi tap\u0131nal\u0131m,” diye f\u0131s\u0131ldad\u0131. Onu ileri do\u011fru g\u00f6t\u00fcrd\u00fc, k\u0131z yalvar\u0131rken i\u00e7ini b\u00fcy\u00fck bir istek kaplad\u0131 ve pe\u015finden gitti.

Bunu yapar yapmaz cad\u0131lar \u00e7aylaklar gibi \u00e7\u0131\u011fl\u0131k kopar\u0131p u\u00e7tular; ona bak\u0131p duran solgun surat, bir ac\u0131 sars\u0131nt\u0131s\u0131yla buru\u015ftu. Adam k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck bir koruya gidip \u0131sl\u0131k \u00e7ald\u0131. G\u00fcm\u00fc\u015f ha\u015fal\u0131, k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck bir \u0130spanyol at\u0131 ko\u015farak onu kar\u015f\u0131lad\u0131.

K\u0131z\u0131l sa\u00e7l\u0131 Cad\u0131 da u\u00e7up gitmeye kalkt\u0131, ama Bal\u0131k\u00e7\u0131 bileklerinden yakalay\u0131p s\u0131ms\u0131k\u0131 tuttu.<\/p>\n

Cad\u0131, “B\u0131rak beni!” diye hayk\u0131rd\u0131, “B\u0131rak da gideyim, \u00e7\u00fcnk\u00fc a\u011f\u0131za al\u0131nmayacak \u015feyi s\u00f6yledin, bak\u0131lmayacak \u015feyin i\u015faretini yapt\u0131n.”<\/p>\n

Bal\u0131k\u00e7\u0131, “Yok!” dedi, “Bana o gizi s\u00f6yleyinceye dek seni b\u0131rakmam.”<\/p>\n

Cad\u0131, yaban kedisi gibi g\u00fcre\u015ferek, benek benek k\u00f6p\u00fcren dudaklar\u0131n\u0131 \u0131s\u0131ra \u0131s\u0131ra, “Ne gizi?” dedi.<\/p>\n

Bal\u0131k\u00e7\u0131, “Bilirsin,” diye yan\u0131tlad\u0131.<\/p>\n

Cad\u0131n\u0131n \u00e7ay\u0131r ye\u015fili g\u00f6zleri, g\u00f6zya\u015flar\u0131yla doldu ve Bal\u0131k\u00e7\u0131’ya, “Ondan ba\u015fka, ne dilersen dile benden,” dedi.<\/p>\n

Delikanl\u0131 g\u00fcld\u00fc, daha s\u0131k\u0131 tuttu.<\/p>\n

K\u0131z kurtulamayaca\u011f\u0131n\u0131 anlay\u0131nca, “Elbette ben de denizin k\u0131z\u0131 gibi g\u00fczel, mavi sularda ya\u015fayanlar gibi al\u0131ml\u0131y\u0131m,” diye f\u0131s\u0131ldad\u0131. \u00dczerine s\u0131rna\u015f\u0131p yana\u011f\u0131n\u0131 yana\u011f\u0131na yap\u0131\u015ft\u0131rd\u0131.

Bal\u0131k\u00e7\u0131 merakla, “Ne i\u015fime yarayacak bu?” diye sordu.<\/p>\n

K\u0131z birka\u00e7 saniye sessiz durdu ve y\u00fcz\u00fcn\u00fc bir korku kaplad\u0131. Sonra aln\u0131ndan sa\u00e7lar\u0131n\u0131 arkaya at\u0131p tuhaf tuhaf g\u00fcl\u00fcmseyerek, “\u0130nsanlar\u0131n v\u00fccudun g\u00f6lgesi dedikleri \u015fey, v\u00fccudun g\u00f6lgesi de\u011fil, ruhun g\u00f6vdesidir.

Gen\u00e7 Bal\u0131k\u00e7\u0131 titredi, “Bu do\u011fru mu?” diye s\u00f6ylendi.<\/p>\n

Cad\u0131, “Do\u011fru! Ke\u015fke sana bunu s\u00f6ylemeseydim,” diye hayk\u0131r\u0131p a\u011flaya a\u011flaya dizlerine sar\u0131ld\u0131.<\/p>\n

Gen\u00e7 Bal\u0131k\u00e7\u0131, “Defol kar\u015f\u0131mdan, art\u0131k sen bana gerekli de\u011filsin!” diye hayk\u0131r\u0131p ye\u015fil engerek sapl\u0131 b\u0131\u00e7a\u011f\u0131n\u0131 ald\u0131, aya\u011f\u0131n\u0131n \u00e7evresinden g\u00f6lgesini kesip att\u0131; Ruh da aya\u011fa kalk\u0131p \u00f6n\u00fcnde durdu.

Geri \u00e7ekilip b\u0131\u00e7a\u011f\u0131n\u0131 kemerine soktu ve \u00fczerine bir korku \u00e7\u00f6kt\u00fc, “Defol!” diye m\u0131r\u0131ldand\u0131. “Bir daha y\u00fcz\u00fcn\u00fc g\u00f6rmeyeyim.”<\/p>\n

Ruh, “Yok!” dedi. “Ne olursa olsun yeniden bulu\u015fmal\u0131y\u0131z.” Sesi al\u00e7ak ve bir kaval sesi gibiydi, konu\u015furken dudaklar\u0131 hi\u00e7 k\u0131p\u0131rdam\u0131yordu.<\/p>\n

Ruh, “Y\u0131lda bir kez buraya gelir, seni \u00e7a\u011f\u0131r\u0131r\u0131m; belki bana gereksinme duyars\u0131n.”<\/p>\n

Gen\u00e7 Bal\u0131k\u00e7\u0131, “Benim sana ne gereksinmem olacak? Ama istedi\u011fin gibi olsun,” diyerek suya dald\u0131.
