From what I can tell, I think Kaoru-sensei may be going a different route than what everyone originally thought. Instead of focusing on Amira and Karluk's story, she'll be going along telling various stories of strange/unusual brides in Central Asia, with Amira/Karluk as a connecting tale. Which means, there's no certainty that Mr. Smith will get together with Talas, because technically, the strange bride could be considered the Mother. It does also portray the stark difference to modern day (Western) societal views, which is part of what Kaoru-sensei has been telling us about throughout this story. I have faith though- happy endings for all is usually how this goes...
