Nuri and his wife and children rushed back to Anamur to be with him and Elif. That same night, his auntie's house in Gaziantep collapsed, killing everyone inside – his auntie, uncle and cousins. Nuri's family had been there just hours before. Such tragedy is incomprehensible.
It was an almost impossible task – Fatma said it was like climbing a steep hill and immediately sliding down the other side.
