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.

Feriha came to the present but still seemed to be lost in her past.
"I was very happy when Emir came to take me back. That time I had misunderstood him and left him without giving him any chance to explain himself. We both were very happy in the mountain house as if living in heaven with no worries of the outside world. We were lost in each other. You know it was our first marriage anniversary. In our problems, we had forgotten our most cherished day. We were surprised when one-day Gulizar aunt asked us to come with them outside. It was snowing lightly and we were in the house. As we stepped out it was dark and suddenly it was lit with lights. It was such a beautiful sight as if we had stepped into some fairyland. They had called their friends. There was Cake on the centre table. It was an unforgettable evening."
Feriha was lost in reverie. Sophie was quietly sitting with her. She didn't want to break the smile on her face. Memories had again brought a glow to her face. Sophie was sad for her.
"Koraye Hande and our family sent us their wishes. We stayed there for a week. Gulizar aunt and uncle insisted we stay there for some more time. But I was worried about my father's health whom I have only given worries. Emir's father has bought the house on the outskirts of the city for him. We shifted to that house in no time. Soon Emir was handling the business. Emir's parents had remarried each other again and his mother shifted in his house. Caan has left with his father to the US for further studies. Within a week Emir's parents met with an accident. Both survived but his father had severe injuries." She murmured.
"Feriha, we will talk some other day."Sophie felt she was tired and looking withdrawn. But Feriha was going on as if was in trance.
"Life changed so fast. His mother became more possessive about Emir. Emir again got involved in the business. His father had left some projects incomplete. He used to come home exhausted. But we have each other. I didn't have any complaints now. But soon he was drifting away from me. He tried his best to find time for me. Then he started entertaining his guests at home.
My father was not keeping well those days. When I look back, I was more reasons for his deteriorating health. He loved me in his own way. Seher had left Mehmet; she shifted with her aunt to Italy told them the truth about the baby. One after another incidents were going on occurring. Only if we had never come back from mountain house." Feriha looked tired. She picked up some books and went to her bedroom. Sophie was staring at her back.
Sophie got attached to Feriha , treated her as a younger sister. She was concerned about her. It was almost 4-5 years, still, she appeared to have clammed up her feelings. Rarely did she talk about Emir.
Somebody knocked at the door, Feriha went to open the door. She found John smiling at her, asked if Sophie was inside. Feriha invited him and called Sophie. John was Sophie's friend. He owned an art gallery. He was not handsome but his features were lit by kindness and inner integrity. His eyes were warm but could read the person he was talking to.
Sophie came and Feriha went into the kitchen to bring coffee. When she returned with coffee both were busy talking. Sophie asked Feriha to join them. It was her off day. So she was relaxed. John Asked Feriha about her job then he said,
"What are you thinking about your future? You are only 25 feriha , so young."
"I became mature very fast, John. Life is a great teacher."
"You can't go on living alone. You deserve to start life again."
"Don't you know that I am married, John?"
"Do you call it marriage Feriha" Sophie who was listening quietly intervened." You are still standing at the same place where I found you four years ago. You haven't even seen the man for four long years---and you call that marriage?"
"I don't want to face Emir again."
"Why not? Do not tell me you are still in love with your husband?"
"No!" The exclamation was torn from her."I'm not in love with my husband," she said, spacing each word with clarity, "But I cannot bear the thought of getting in touch with him for a divorce or even of ever seeing him again.' She said vehemently, 'I hate him"don't you understand, Sophie?' Sophie took her in her arms and gently wiped her tears. John quietly left the house saying will meet her in the gallery.
Sophie knew she was still pining for Emir. Emir never left her heart he still resided there. Memories of the past were engraved in her heart. Sadly she looked at Feriha's back.

She knew Sophie left the room silently. She was thinking about their misunderstanding, fighting then making up..
