In the steams of the alcohol and being left alone with the young Ayla, the men started to hit at the girl. Ayla was protesting especially to the man she knew for years, but he told her to show respect as he has sold her to the stranger. The girl struggled and tried to run, but Alen`s father caught her and pushed her towards his companion. The girl screamed.
Alen heard the scream and run out. Ayla escaped and run, but the landlord, furious she won`t obey his orders and will alert the entire village run after her to kill her. Scared, Ayla jumped in the fountain to escape the mad men. Those times, the walls of some fountains were made in wood especially this high in the mountains, where stone was hard to carry. The men started to hit the walls of the fountain. Alen pushed them away, and jumped in to escape Ayla.

But, the men instead of helping them continued to hit the fountains walls. The walls crushed over the two in the fountain.
Alarmed by the screams, the two mothers also run over and seeing what happened called for help. Till the villagers came also the interior wall of the fountain crashed and those walls were made in rocks from the river. They knew for sure the kids have died, but they dug till the sun was up in the middle of the day to get at least their bodies. The mothers didn’t stop crying and blaming the two men madness.
When they got all materials out, they had a big surprise – they didn’t find the bodies. There was no water neither. Maybe the water withdrawn, but the bodies…
Seeing this, the two men said that actually the boy and the girl run away and out of the fury they destroyed the fountain. But, the people knew they were lying and they banished them from the village. There was even a process later on accusing the rich man of killing his own son, but it couldn’t be proved as there was no body to be found. The man got mad in his try to lie and knowing he was culpable.
The villagers dug even more, but with no use. It is said that probably they went to another universe to escape the madness of this one. The two mothers cried and by sorrow they died. From mother’s tears the land gave the people a new fountain – full of sorrow and salty taste.
The legend says that once in a while a boy or a girl comes along, they taste the water and fill the sadness they have left behind. The curious thing is that they never come together, it’s like they are lost and they are looking for each other. Some of them come many times in a lifetime to look for clues in this place. They see things and experience feelings.
For me, it was just a legend – no matter all the emotions it provoked in me. I still have dreams about a boy and a girl playing in the nature, I’m still afraid of water and I still wake up screaming out his name. Sometimes I wish very hard to go to that place because he will be there, or passing by…Sometimes I just wish I’d be there with him flying after butterflies and playing in the nature. Sometimes I just want to understand why.
