Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: The Night of Horror

One night, everything changes. Burak's father, intoxicated and driven by his own vile impulses, rapes Maryam. The scene is both horrific and heartbreaking, portrayed not in gratuitous detail but through the emotional devastation Maryam experiences. Her life, once filled with warmth and family, is shattered in an instant. Her innocence is stolen, and her world collapses into a whirlwind of shame, fear, and silence. The attack leaves her broken, and she isolates herself, unable to confide in anyone, especially Burak, who unknowingly continues to harbor ill feelings toward her. The weight of this secret begins to crush her spirit, as she tries to find a way to cope with the trauma, all while keeping up appearances at school and home.
