Öykü Penceresi Metni
- Jake’s eyes snap open, and he quickly turns to the side. But like his achingheart, the spot where Max always sat on the couch remains empty. He takes in along, deep breath – really more of a sigh – and squeezes his eyes closed, hopingthat by slipping into the darkness of a nap, he will temporarily mask his sorrow.

- For fifteen years they were inseparable. Always side by side. The walks onthe beach with the gentle waves calling, the seagulls cawing. All those hikes onthe trail where the trees canopied over like arches, wrapping them in a soft coolshade on a hot sunny day. Even just a ride to the grocery store for somethingMartha may have forgotten, they always went together.
- Lets go! Jake
- There’s a faraway melancholy tone to her voice, but he knows that herheart, like his, has a hole too big to fill. His head drops and he gives off anotherlong sigh, which seems to prompt her to come over and kneel down onto the carpetbeside him. She slides a hand under his chin and lifts it up, then tucks back hislong, floppy ears, such that their teary eyes can meet.
- Though he knows that in some ways he should be thankful for just havingtheir time together – those moments forever etched in his heart – and that thesickness took Max quickly rather than dragging out the pain for weeks, maybeeven months, he still feels cheated. That somehow, he is missing years that couldhave been.
- Where are you Max? i missed you
- Unable to sleep, he looks around the all too empty room, letting his gaze fallupon the leash, which still hangs from the peg by the door. It seems to waitpatiently, ever ready for that next big adventure. As his eyes well up, he realizesfor the first time how much his grief weighs, how hard it is to even rise with sucha heaviness inside.
- It is then he hears a shuffle from behind and turns to see Martha standingin the doorway, her shoulder resting against the frame. She looks down at him for onlya moment before her stare drifts to the couch.
- I thought you might be in here
- I miss him, too, Jake. More thanyou’ll ever know.
- I guess you do know, don’t you, Jake
