My take --Post 3 years ,does not seems to be part of AFK.
An invisible thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, and circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle. But it will never break.

Emir reached the mountain house in the evening unexpectedly. Ruhi opened the door as the bell rang and found Emir standing there. He was surprised but hid his expressions, welcomed him smilingly. Emir was looking haggard as if had not slept for days. Emir had first gone to Ada thinking that he might find Feriha there but was disappointed. So mountain house was his next stop. Both places had cherished memories for both of them. Ruhi invited him inside, it was very cold outside . Emir entered the living room, that took him again in the past when both of them had escaped from mehmat and came to this place and both had poured their hearts to each other. Sadness and happiness both stayed with them that time. He was happy because he had his beloved with him and sad also because feriha was sad thinking of her family. Asking Feriha to marry him, he took her by surprise. That was the most special, cherished moment for both of them.

He fulfilled the dream of them getting married in snowfall. Emir came to present when Gulizer appeared in the doorway. She was taken aback when saw Emir sitting in the living room with Ruhi. Ruhi with eyes' expressions hinted her not to speak about Feriha . She came into the room and welcomed Emir who stood up to greet her. She smiled at him and asked him how was Feriha and why he had come alone? Emir was silent for a while , evaded looking at her. Ruhi asked Gulizer to bring tea for him. Feriha that time was in the bedroom upstairs. She heard some noise downstairs but then ignored thinking some neighbor might had come to visit.
Emir was thinking how Hande took the matters in her hand. He did not know where to look for her. Hande had suggested him to find her in the places that meant precious to both of them. Both wanted to come with him, looking at the condition he was in. But he assured them not to worry about him , he will bring Feriha along with him . With hint of wavering smile he had left them standing on the steps. Again he was lost in past
Gulizer decided not to tell Feriha about Emir's presence yet. She first wanted to talk to him. Gulizer brought tea with some snacks knowing he might not had eaten properly. Emir face was the reflection of what he was going through. He looked shaken up . Gulizer was sad when she thought of these two tormented souls, pining for each other. Emir hand was shaking when he took the tea from Gulizer. She smiled at him gently. Emir slowly told them what had happened. How he had neglected Feriha while he was trying to stand on his own. He wanted to give her the best. She had never asked him for anything. He sadly smiled sarcastically saying that people thought of her as gold digger. To his own amusement he recalled that he himself had not bought any dress or even a single flower for her. They both never felt the need of worldly presents to express their love. Emir pause many times, then continued with, after going back getting married, what upheavals both of them faced with passage of time. They both faced the turbulent waters together. But both of them lost each other somewhere in the race of being successful. He was baffled why did Feriha left him without any explanations.
Feriha came downstairs when she thought it's a long time Gulizer aunt had not called her or not come to her. She stopped at the door when she saw the back . She thought it was Emir then realized her imagination was playing with her again. As she turned, she heard Emir's voice. so she was not imagining after all. He was here. She was shocked to find him sitting there, she stood still as if turned into a statue. Gulizer & ruhi both looked at her with concern. Emir followed their gaze and saw her standing in the door. He abruptly sprang to his feet as if got life on its own. Emir was staring at her with a kind of desperate intensity and she sensed a question in his eyes. She was scared what he might tell her.
Suddenly she could not bear it . she had to get away and be alone. In one lithe movement she ran to the door, slamming it shut behind her. Dimly she heard Emir's voice cry her name. But even that could not stop her, she grabbed her jacket , was outside , running away from the house as though pursued. Its light glowed more and more dimly until the whirling snow crystals finally obliterated them.
Staggering through the fresh snow, she stumbled on. Tree branches grabbed at her sleeve with sharp needles. She tripped over a hidden rock and almost fell. The hill side slope was so steep because of snow that carried her forward with speed and she was unable to see in front of her. She slammed into a tree trunk and her cry of pain was lost in the wind. she sank to the ground, nursing her sore shoulder, sobbing with pain.
For the first time since her headlong flight from the house, she came to her senses. It was all unexpected; Emir's appearance had shocked her. Huddled under the tree, she stared out into the world of black and white. Darkness and snow nothing else. She remembered the night when both had played in the snow in the same house.

That night she was not alone, Emir was with her. Why was she running away from Emir? She was tired now of running away from Emir. Should not she be listening to her heart not her mind? She was wet and cold and lost. A sob of fear broke from her lips. She pushed herself upright, dragging her feet she moved towards the house. She started up the slope. She stopped for breath, leaning against the rough bark for support, her eyes closed.
Suddenly darkness was illuminated with yellow beam of a torch and she was gathered in Emir's arms, "Thank God I've found you, he muttered roughly," You little idiot –running away like that ! Why were you running away from me Feriha . Are you not tired of running my beautiful wife ?"
This number came to my mind whenever i saw Emir yearning for Feriha and she was running away from him.
