"I can't hear the music anymore, Kerem," she whispered, looking not at him, but at the darkening sea. "Everything is so complicated now. I’ve lost the 'sade' in me."
As the months turned into years, the "noise" of the world began to drown out their melody. Elif’s letters grew shorter, her voice more tired. The city was swallowing the "pure" girl Kerem knew.
