She was afraid to get out of there.
Because in the first year I tried
She goes out alone.
When I left I heard the voices of the people.I thought that the rescue teams had arrived.I ran to the sound.But he discovered that the sound was caused by a strange echo inside a side corridor. Out of fear and confusion, he fell and was injured again.From that moment he began to believe that the mountain itself was holding it back.In
Place to force her, Imran tried to protect her.But the
More difficult question was it still: Was his clean clothes? Why didn’t your body have the shape expected for someone who lived in a cave for years? The answer was simpler than everyone expected.The room in which I lived was not an abandoned natural cave. It was an old room that the people of the area had used for decades as a warehouse. It has a small source of groundwater.It has ventilation holes.Imran constantly cleaned the place.
He had stored clothes and supplies.
As for the
food, came out of another secret opening in the mountain, away from the road that the search teams were looking for. And so everything is explained.But there is still one question: Why didn’t you ask for help when the explorers arrived? And here he said the truth. Layan looked at her father and said, “I was afraid.” Of
What are you afraid of, my daughter? Her tears fell. I am afraid to go out and see again the world I left.Her father was silent. Come to her.And he took her hand.The scholar said, “This is
your house.” Layan collapsed in his arms.For the first time in three years, he cried out loud.Days later, the investigation showed that Imran had not kidnapped Layan. Rather, he was the one who saved her what saved her life in the early days.
But authorities blamed him for not informing them after his condition stabilized, especially after a long time.
As for Lian, he entered a psychological and social rehabilitation program, and gradually began to regain his life.
To his university.But he did not return to the same Layan as always.He became calmer.And less talk.And more connected with
The nature.Months later he returned with his father to the place where he disappeared. I stood in front of the entrance of the mountain. He looked at the cave from afar. His father said to him, “Do you want to enter?” Layan shook his head. No. Did you ask him? She smiled and said, “Because this time it is I who choose to return home” And I walked with him.But before getting in the car, he suddenly stopped.
He looked at the tree where the wooden owl was.
There was something attached to it.
I’m almost there.
The owl found itself.
The same owl they found the day he disappeared.
I held her hands.
And I turned it around.
For the first time I discovered that a very small line was engraved underneath.If you go out, do not forget that you were stronger than you thought.Layan preferred to remain silent.Then she smiled.It is not the strange smile
who saw the explorers for the first time, but
A natural smile.A girl’s smile returned to her father.She returned to her life.And she came back to herself.From that day, every year on the same date, Layan used to go to the mountain.Not to disappear.But then you think she survived.The last photo of her there was from her standing next to her father, holding the wooden owl.And this time her eyes were flashing.
