Decades ago, Emin had been a young man in love with a girl named Leyla. They used to meet by the old stone bridge just as the sun set. She would hum a melody, and he would promise her the world. But war and the shifting tides of time had pulled them apart. He stayed in the mountains; she was taken to a city far across the sea.
