There is a room that is never truly dark, because what fills it is not the absence of light, but memories that never leave.
That is where I grew.
In the Room Full with Echoes of Silence.
-------------
Not all wounds leave marks on the body.
Some grow quietly, teaching a person to shrink, to stay silent, to survive without a voice. Aylin grew up in a house that was never truly safe. Behind doors locked from the outside, she learned that darkness is not merely the absence of light, but inherited fear. When she was finally saved and carried into a new life, the wounds did not disappear. They only changed their shape.
Anan was the only man who never frightened her.
A rescuer in childhood, a companion in adolescence, and a shadow that never truly faded when distance came between them.
To Aylin, Anan was a safe space.
To Anan, Aylin was nothing more than responsibility and pity.
At least, that was what he always believed.
Years later, fate brings them together again. Aylin, older now, with wounds that remain loyal to her. Anan, still denying what has quietly grown in his chest. Echoes of Silence is a story about trauma that love cannot simply heal, about distance that forces two people to grow apart, and about the courage to choose love not out of need, but out of desire. Because not every silent room must be abandoned. Some are simply waiting to be understood.
