The Missing Dowry

Three days before the wedding, the most treasured piece in the çeyiz — the dowry chest — goes missing.

Zeynep, the daughter of Nermin Hanım next door, marries in three days. The çeyiz chest sits in the middle of the living room, and last night its most precious piece vanished: an embroidery handed down from Nermin Hanım’s mother. Nermin Hanım didn’t cry. “Whoever has it has a reason,” she said. Uncle Rıza wanted to know what that reason was.
