@cherfrank@cyberbrujita Hola mi querida Cheryl. Cómo siempre una clase magistral del sentimiento, la perdida y porque no el reencuentro. Te abrazo. No podemos agregar y una letra, sobraría. Gracias
Of course we don’t know the exact timing but is it possible Tuba’s puzzling repost the other day was a quiet, coded message meant to offer solace and hope after hearing about the loss of Engin’s beloved cat, Sefa?
Oğuz Atay’s quote takes on added meaning when read within this context:
“They always say 'this too shall pass,' Olric. Do you think it will pass?"
“It will pass, of course, My Lord;
Some of it grazes past,
Some of it pierces through,
Some of it rips open,
Some of it tears to pieces,
But it always, inevitably, passes."
Tuba’s personal reflection at the end shifts the mood from grief to remembrance:
“It left a smile on my face..
A bit warm, a bit sorrowful, a bit understanding, a bit longing..
Like that moment in the late afternoon, in the sun's final moments, knowing it will soon depart, when a gentle breeze, still carrying the dried sea salt on your skin ruffles your hair as you lose yourself while gazing out at the sea..
A feeling just like that..”
The setting sun symbolizes profound sadness intertwined with peaceful acceptance. The “gentle touch of a breeze” and the "dried sea salt still on your skin" serve as reminders that even after a devastating loss, the love and shared memories will remain with us forever…carrying the promise to one day leave "a smile on your face."
A beautiful message for Engin. Intended or not…

@cherfrank@nistal_mar28736 Cómo siempre digo y seguiré diciendo, tu Master Class en la interpretación es y será por siempre un gran referente al momento de ver, creer o imaginar grandes y elocuentes verdades. Abraxos
I hid you in my stories, in the sounds of the songs I listened to...
Couldn’t be happier to hear Engin is about to publish a third volume of his short stories…always something to look forward to🤍
The interesting cover can be interpreted in so many ways. First the title “Isimsiz” (nameless or anonymous) and the cat’s name tag, Öykü (Story) both suggest Engin’s stories aim to turn personal narratives into something collective or universal. Which is why his work is always so highly praised.
Then of course it’s hard to ignore Engin’s cats…looking at the cover I couldn’t help but think of the quote Tuba posted earlier today: “Friend, I am not as I appear. My appearance is something I carry upon me; it is nothing but a carefully woven garment that protects me from your curiosity and you from my neglect.” (Kahlil Gibran).
The cat is literally wearing a "garment woven with care"—a formal suit and bowtie. (Similar representations seen before in the framed artwork on an Engin birthday post). In literature and art, dressing a cat as a human is an act of disguise and often symbolizes hidden truths “that protects a person from unwanted curiosity”. (Gibran)
Engin’s first book cover (Sessizlik) interestingly morphed human features with the features of a cat…it was perhaps one of the first times Engin revealed his cats actually symbolize something or someone more important in his life. This was the moment that a nameless (isimsiz) person actually became the central character in his own story (öycü).
Both the quote Tuba used and the images of the cats on Engin’s book covers reveal the ongoing conflict between the private and public realm. Will we ever know what Engin’s cats represent to him? Looking carefully at the cover, golden particles are seen flying through the air. It’s hard to tell if the cat is forming, taking on another shape or dissolving.
In either case… as the music Tuba chose for her quote tells us “Gece Geçer" (The Night Will Pass)😌

الحب، كما تراه توبا بويوكستون، ليس لحظة عابرة ولا قصة تُختصر بالرومانسية، بل طريقة عيش تتسلل إلى التفاصيل اليومية: إلى الإصغاء، الاختيار، التواصل، وحتى إلى الصمت. في عدد فبراير من “هي”، تتحدّث عن الحدس الذي يقود مسيرتها، وعن مسؤولية الصدق أمام الكاميرا وخلفها، وعن أهمية الوعي والاهتمام في كل ما تقدّمه. كما تتأمّل في علاقتها الطويلة مع الجمهور العربي، وفي الأدوار التي تختارها بعناية، وفي المساحة التي تتركها للرقّة والضعف الإنساني داخل عملها، لتجعل الفن تجربة صادقة وقريبة من الناس. تعرّفوا أكثر إلى توبا بويوكستون في عدد فبراير من “هي”.
Love, as seen through the eyes of Tûba Büyüküstün, is not a fleeting moment or a neatly wrapped romance. It’s a way of living, listening, choosing, speaking, and sometimes staying silent.
In Hia’s February issue, she reflects on instinct and how it guides her path, on authenticity in front of the camera and beyond, and on the responsibility that comes with awareness. She also speaks about her long-term bond with Arab audiences, the roles she approaches with care, and the space she allows for tenderness and human vulnerability.

Todas conocemos a engin, no sólo ustedes y aunque no lo van a reconocer nunca públicamente el repost con ❤️ pasión desde la cuenta de tuba casi al unísono, no lo esperaban y en víspera de San Valentín menudo regalo para el famdon 😂 menos mal que no se hablan, según ustedes
Amazed by how Tubis stays true to herself despite the toxicity around her. Her heart remains untouched; she values her work & treats colleagues with kindness, even when undeserved. What may seem like weakness, I see as courage. An exceptional human being! 🥺🔝❣️
