Colourful Surrounding, Colourless Life

Balat, located in the province of Istanbul, Turkey, is a district known for its unique architectural style and vibrant, multicolored designs. A masterpiece of eye-catching view.

Seated on the colorful steps, she gazed into the right corner of the street, her mind in a state of emptiness. With brown hair and green eyes, she revisited this place after two months, a location where she had lost something. Her life had lost its colors two months ago, in contrast to the vivid stairs.

Two months back
The weather was sunny with a cool March breeze. Rainbow-hued flowers flourished all around. Holding her Canon EOS R10 camera in a vertical position, she captured shots of a girl standing in front of Kashaf. The girl wore a light purple frock and a white and purple flower crown and had her hair styled in a straight, open manner.

Amidst birds flying and people passing by, they focused on their photo shoot. A little girl sat on the colorful steps, enjoying cotton candy and observing them.

A man wearing a black hat and a long coat approached the little girl, Aiza, from behind. While the girls were occupied with the photo shoot, kashaf's back was visible from the stairs.

Aiza suffers from Aphasia, a condition affecting communication abilities. She, too, with vacant eyes, attempted to discern the person behind the mask. The big man in black grasped Aiza's hand and swiftly retreated from the building.

Suddenly, there was a rush of people. Kashaf instantly moved her head to see if Aiza was okay.

But what does she see?

The colorful steps were empty. People descended the stairs, and she hurriedly approached them, inquiring about Aiza's whereabouts.

My girl was sitting here, Did you see where she went?
An elderly man shook his head in a sign of No.

She posed the same question to another person, but no one had noticed Aiza.

She came back to colorful stairs with empty hands, sitting on the stairs where Aiza sat.

The crown girls asked her.
Did you find where she goes?
Where is she?

Kashaf was unable to hear her words. She only perceived that the girl's lips were moving. Tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision. The colorful steps remained unchanged, but her life had lost its colors.

There were famous 99% of people who were kidnapped didn't return the same as there were before.

What they will do to her?
To whom she could appeal for help? Oh, she can't speak.

Kashaf put her head on her arms and started crying. Everything stopped.

Now
After 60 days, she came back to these colorful stairs alone. Wearing a shawl, she sat on the same stair where Aiza had sat two months before.

She didn't lose hope
She is trying to find her baby girl

Everyone said: Leave her on Allah, she will not come, forget about her and move on.

But her heart says: She is alive, and she will find her safely.

And then her life will become like these colorful stairs like colorful lanterns hung upside down.

She will get her colors again, but, jaany kon?

The story is totally fiction:).
