Orphan Emrah

December 20th, 2017


This is my third writing about Emrah…

You didn’t forget her right? Her story is another oppressed one’s, another victim’s, another downcast’s…

Let me write here.

Emrah and her big sister grew up as orphans. They lost their mother at Emrah’s age of 11. Their sergeant father, one of the students of Bediüzzaman Said Nursi, has crowned his daughters with a Qur’an based education targets ethical values.

Mrs. Emrah’s big sister is in Pakistan. Once, she and her husband were Turkish school employees. Nowadays, she makes cakes, cookies, muffins, and biscuits to sell in bazaars to earn some money for her house. Their passports are already expired, the UN doesn’t respond to any letter although they are still in the country they have no life assurance.


And Mrs. Emrah…

One of the mothers burns with child hankering… She has three sons. In prison for a year and a half, she is in detention over terror organization links. Her youngest son was 2 years old when they were both imprisoned. Now, her little boy is about 3.5. Do you remember the little boy cried to sit between her mother’s arms and kiss her cheek? Emrah was fallen faint when she couldn’t see her son in a non-contact visit. ‘’What happened to my child?’’ she asked when she came to herself…

Your son is fine, dear Emrah. He is so fine except being far from his parents. We are also fine my dear sister! But you are not…

Emrah is terribly sick and her situation gets worse day by day. Her treatment for the postnatal inflammation is left half done. She is in period of menopause. She is not having a gynecological treatment. Her illness in her eyes got worse… Lately, the doctor said she is going to be be blind as the retinal detachment in her eyes. She sometimes has vision loss due to the stress.

I raise my hands for Emrah. We pray for her every night with my children.

Someone may hear this voice and join us.

Emrah is an orphan, I write so you may know. I write…
