DANGEROUS LOVE'S
The Second Part of the Puzzle
Hazal came out of the Prosecutor's Building with a dizzy head. Almost one day, he was just thinking about the Ted Baxter riddle.
Why didn't Ted Baxter just say the name of the villain, why would he have to give me this kind of puzzle?
A honking sound from the car behind him, rippling Hazal's daydream. As the car honks back for the second time, Hazal immediately drives to his house.
Arriving at home, Hazal walked straight to the kitchen. He was looking for Ted Baxter's wife, apparently the woman was washing some cooking utensils. Hazal gives an envelope containing a letter from Ted Baxter and a photograph to Nuran.
"What is this, Miss?" tanya Nuran after she dried her palm and took the envelope and photo from Hazal's hand.
"This is from your late husband, he wrote this letter while he was still in prison. He left this letter to one of his friends in prison" Hazal said, giving Nuran two of Ted Baxter's belongings.
Nuran saw a picture of her and Ali when her son was 5 years old. The woman continued to look at the photo. I don't know what's on his mind.
"Do you still hate him?" hazal asked quietly while touching one of Nuran's shoulders.
The woman then cries in Hazal's arms. He said nothing. Only the sound of her crying and her body trembling.
Hazal rubbed Nuran's back and said, "Tomorrow after the autopsy is complete, the police will bury your late husband's body. If you want to attend the funeral, I can drive you."
"Should have hated her more than me, because of Ted... Miss Miss miss Miss's biological parents," sobs Nuran who is still in Hazal's arms.
Hazal took off his arms, held onto Nuran's shoulders and looked at the woman's 40-year-old face, "You, me and your late husband, are victims of that man's crimes. The man who was behind my parents' murder."
"Your late husband wouldn't have been a hit man if he hadn't met the bad guy. You and Ali won't suffer like this!" he cried Hazal as he walked back to Nuran.
Nuran played her fingers, what her master's adopted daughter said was indeed true. If time could turn back.
"You're very kind, Miss Hazal. Hopefully Miss can find the bad guy and punish him," support Nuran.
"I will definitely find him, Nuran. Sure...! That day of vengeance will definitely happen!" hazal exclaimed confidently, wrapping his hands around the shoulders of Nuran. But his bead of eyes stared intently at the kitchen knife hanging on the plate rack.
As the two women hugged each other in the kitchen, Japheth's presence shocked them.
"Hazal.., you're here! I was waiting for you at the airport!" japheth cried out who immediately pulled Hazal's hand away from Nuran. The man carrying Hazal walked into the hallway corridor of his house downstairs.
"Oh.. gosh! I forgot, that today Carina and the others are going back to their country!" Hazal hit his own forehead, muttering the memory of his slow-moving mind.
"After the police station, where are you?" japheth asked with his serious face, as if to interrogate Hazal. But the gaze of the eagle's eyes could not deceive, that he could not scold Hazal.
Hazal looked around him, there was no one around. He then took Japheth's hand, taking the man to the pool, which was behind their house. These two men sat on one of the long wooden chairs, which are usually used for sunbathing.
"I want to talk to you" Hazal said in a whispering voice.
"What's wrong? Is there anything serious?" Japheth seemed curious about Hazal's attitude. They sit next to each other.
Hazal shows two pictures of phoenixes made by Ted Baxter to Japheth. The man scrunched his forehead.
"Ted Baxter made it. He drew this before he was killed." Hazal showed me a picture that was perfectly finished.
"While this one, Ted Baxter drew it while Ismail was interrogating him." Hazal showed me another picture, which was still unfinished.
"Isamail? Since when did you get along with that Police Captain? " ask Japheth who begins to focus on Hazal's explanation. He senses a bad signal seeing the way Hazal calls the police captain.
"Since this afternoon, I've been with him" replied Hazal spontaneously.
"Oh. I understand now. Why did you forget your schedule to the airport, because you were with that Police Captain!" sindir Japheth.
Hazal snorted in annoyance, "That's not what I want to talk about!"
Hazal tilted his body, making him able to clearly stare at Japheth's face. "You remember, yesterday we met in the park? After your wedding."
Japheth answered him with a murmur.
"After I got home from the park, in the middle of the street Ted Baxter called me. He told me that he wanted to see me before he walked into the courtroom. He wanted to say who had told him," Hazal explained as she looked into the eagle's eyes.
"Then...?" Japheth was more curious, the man looked eagerly listening to Hazal's story.
"Then this morning Ted was a corpse. But he did not forget his promise to me. He had everything ready, before he was killed, he had already given a hint through the picture of this bird" Hazal said as he played the tip of the paper.
"What do you mean this picture means something?" japheth asked, taking the paper back from Hazal's hand.
"Yes, I think it's like that. Ted left this picture to one of his friends in prison. I've asked Ishmael about this bird, but he doesn't understand it either." Hazal put both of her hands behind her touching the long chair that was holding her body.
"you think? Is this about the emblem of a person or a group of people or what?" japheth asked, raising one of his feet on the other.
"All I know, this picture is something that reigns in our country. Either someone or something else....."
"Or company?" Japheth cuts off Hazal's explanation.
Hazal scrunched his forehead, "Company? A very large and influential company in our country?"
Japheth simply shrugged both of his shoulders, "Perhaps, that was just my guess."
"Do you have any acquaintances or company listings that use bird symbols?" Hazal brought himself closer to Japheth's body, as the man took his cell phone from his pants pocket.
Japheth searches for his secretary's number on his cell phone screen, but Hazal quickly retrieves the man's phone. The man scrunched his forehead towards Hazal.
"I don't want outsiders to know about this!" yelled Hazal who was still clutching the man's phone.
"I thought you were...." Japheth did not continue his words. The man just laughed and smiled looking at the sky that had been dark ever since.
"Your mind is too far away" Hazal said with a small laugh as she rubbed Japheth's black hair and returned the man's phone.
Make Japheth hold the woman's hand and they look at each other. Japheth put some of the children behind Hazal's ears. The view of the lovers was witnessed by Selina who had been standing on the balcony watching the two sons of Aksal.
Japheth stood up from his seat, walking near the pool. The blue water seemed to shine reflecting the moonlight. He saw the shadow of someone standing on top.
Selina...!
The eagle's eyes stared intently at Selina. His wife just smiled cynically at the face of her husband, who had not seen her since yesterday. The British woman immediately turned her body, went back inside the house.
Before Hazal realizes Selina's whereabouts, Japheth immediately pulls Hazal's hand. He asked the woman to go next to his building. In this place, no one else could see them from above.
"What's wrong?" ask Hazal suddenly. "Why did you bring me here?"
"I know..., where can we find out who your parents' enemies are!" yaphet. "The villain who had planned all this, must have been your parents' enemy!"
"Where can we find him?" and Hazal asked, who could not wait to hear Japheth's answer.
"WATERSIDE MANSION DANNER," Japheth replied with his face full of confidence. "I'm sure all your parents' secrets are there!" The eagle's eyes emitted something shiny.
