-\u0130\u015fte G\u00f6k B\u00fcvet’e o zamandan beri Hasanbo\u011fuldu diyorlar; koca \u00e7\u0131nara da Emine \u00c7\u0131nar\u0131 derler. Hadi, ge\u00e7 olmadan yolumuza gidelim!..-<\/p>\n
Ak\u015fam yakla\u015ft\u0131\u011f\u0131 i\u00e7in a\u015fa\u011f\u0131dan do\u011fru derenin u\u011fultusu daha \u00e7ok duyuluyordu. Kalk\u0131p y\u00fcr\u00fcmeye ba\u015flad\u0131k. G\u00fcne\u015f Sar\u0131k\u0131z’\u0131n arkas\u0131na girmi\u015f, bulundu\u011fumuz yeri birdenbire artan serin r\u00fczgarlara b\u0131rakm\u0131\u015ft\u0131. Eteklerine kadar \u00e7am, oradan denize kadar zeytin ormanlar\u0131yla \u00f6rt\u00fcl\u00fc olan Kazda\u011f\u0131’n\u0131n bu yamac\u0131nda saatlerce s\u00fcren bir ak\u015fam ba\u015flam\u0131\u015ft\u0131. G\u00fcne\u015f bin yedi y\u00fcz metrelik da\u011f\u0131n arkas\u0131na adeta vaktinden evvel saklanmakla, g\u00fcn\u00fcn bu en g\u00fczel zaman\u0131n\u0131 sanki isteye isteye uzat\u0131yordu. Midilli taraf\u0131ndan esen bir r\u00fczgar k\u00f6rfezin girinti ve \u00e7\u0131k\u0131nt\u0131lar\u0131nda k\u0131r\u0131larak boyuna yolunu de\u011fi\u015ftiriyor, sular\u0131n \u00fczerinde ayr\u0131 ayr\u0131 taraflara ko\u015fu\u015fan dalgac\u0131klar meydana getiriyordu. G\u00fcne\u015fin, Madra Da\u011flar\u0131’n\u0131n \u00fcst\u00fcndeki bulutlara vurarak onlar\u0131 k\u0131z\u0131lla\u015ft\u0131ran ve oradan tekrar denize akseden son \u0131\u015f\u0131klar\u0131, ba\u015fka ba\u015fka istikametlerde k\u0131r\u0131\u015fan sularda t\u00fcrl\u00fc renkler yarat\u0131yordu. Da\u011f\u0131n eteklerine s\u0131ralanan ve bazan hemen \u00f6n\u00fcm\u00fcze kadar y\u00fckselen tepeler, birbiri \u00fcst\u00fcne y\u0131\u011f\u0131lm\u0131\u015f karanl\u0131k bulut k\u00fcmeleri gibi g\u00f6r\u00fcn\u00fcyordu. Daha uzaklarda, Ayval\u0131k’\u0131n kar\u015f\u0131s\u0131ndaki Cunda Adas\u0131’n\u0131n al\u00e7ak tepeleri, Kazda\u011f\u0131 oralara siper olmad\u0131\u011f\u0131 i\u00e7in, hala g\u00fcne\u015fin k\u0131rm\u0131z\u0131 \u0131\u015f\u0131klar\u0131 i\u00e7inde yan\u0131yor; biraz daha arkada, Midilli’nin o taraflara kadar uzanan kollar\u0131na kar\u0131\u015f\u0131yordu. R\u00fczgar \u00e7amlar\u0131n dallar\u0131nda u\u011fulduyor, \u00f6n\u00fcnde giden Hacer k\u0131z\u0131n etekleri ve ince \u00f6r\u00fcl\u00fc sa\u00e7lar\u0131n\u0131 \u00f6ne do\u011fru savuruyordu. Saatlerce beraber geldi\u011fimiz bu k\u0131z\u0131n ne kadar g\u00fczel, ne kadar ahenkli bir y\u00fcr\u00fcy\u00fc\u015f\u00fc oldu\u011funu ilk defa fark ediyordum: Olgun bir bu\u011fday tarlas\u0131nda ilerliyormu\u015f gibi hafif\u00e7e dizlerini kald\u0131rarak ve ba\u015f\u0131n\u0131 ileri geri sallayarak ad\u0131m at\u0131yor; \u00e7imenlerin ve renk renk \u00e7i\u00e7eklerin, \u00fcst\u00fcne \u00e7\u0131plak ayaklar\u0131yla basarken v\u00fccudunun a\u011f\u0131rl\u0131\u011f\u0131 olmad\u0131\u011f\u0131 hissini veriyordu.<\/p>\n
Yan\u0131na sokuldum:<\/p>\n
-Hacer k\u0131z- dedim, -Emine’nin G\u00f6k B\u00fcvet’te oturup s\u00f6yledi\u011fi ko\u015fmalardan bildi\u011fin var m\u0131? Obaya varmadan bana bir tanesini s\u00f6yleyiver!-<\/p>\n
Durdu. G\u00f6zleri, etraf\u0131m\u0131z\u0131 saran manzaran\u0131n ve biraz evvel anlatt\u0131\u011f\u0131 hikayenin i\u00e7inde kaybolmu\u015f gibi b\u00fcy\u00fck ve dalg\u0131nd\u0131. \u015eakaklar\u0131nda, tozlarla kar\u0131\u015f\u0131p sonra kal\u0131n \u00e7izgiler halinde kuruyan terlerin izleri vard\u0131. Derin derin nefes al\u0131yordu. Bu anda onu, etraf\u0131n\u0131 saran tabiattan ay\u0131rmaya imkan yoktu. Ak\u015fam\u0131n lo\u015flu\u011fu i\u00e7inde topraktan, \u00e7i\u00e7eklerin aras\u0131ndan f\u0131rlay\u0131p b\u00fcy\u00fcy\u00fcvermi\u015f bir mahluk gibiydi. Yava\u015f\u00e7a dudaklar\u0131n\u0131 oynatt\u0131:<\/p>\n
-Sana Emine’nin bir ko\u015fmas\u0131n\u0131 okuyuvereyim!- dedi. -Hasan’\u0131na kavu\u015fmadan az \u00f6nce bunu s\u00f6ylemi\u015f derler!..-<\/p>\n
Biraz d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnd\u00fc; g\u00f6zleri kapal\u0131 ilave etti:<\/p>\n
-Kim bilir…-<\/p>\n
Sonra arkas\u0131ndaki \u00e7am a\u011fac\u0131na s\u0131rt\u0131n\u0131 dayad\u0131, heybesini sa\u011f omuzundan yere d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcrd\u00fc, g\u00f6zlerini yere dikti; hafif, fakat t\u00fcyleri \u00fcrpertecek kadar i\u00e7li bir sesle \u015fu ko\u015fmay\u0131 okudu:<\/p>\n
Uzaklardan sesin ald\u0131m;

\nToz k\u00f6p\u00fck olup da\u011f\u0131lan

\nAk kefensiz yat\u0131rd\u0131\u011f\u0131m

Emine’yi yasl\u0131 eden,
\nKerem olup Asl\u0131 eden,
\nDa\u011f\u0131 ta\u015f\u0131 sesli eden
\nHasan\u0131m ard\u0131ndan geldim.<\/p>\n
