The next day, the entire Aksal family gathered at a rectangular dining table. They were enjoying a meat sandwich and vegetable salad made by the cook at the house. Hazal and Japheth sat next to each other. While in front of them, their father and mother were sitting side by side.
The voice of Emir Aksal rebuked his son, "Why didn't you meet your father and mother yesterday? Is this your manners to the parents?"
The man he spoke to was silent as he chewed his food.
"Had the Emir, there was no need to argue, the important thing was that he had arrived in Istanbul safely." his wife tried to calm her husband down.
"Don't you defend your son, it's always like this" said the Emir.
Hazal, who had been watching her adoptive parents debate, opened her voice. He explained that last night he immediately took Japheth to the hospital to visit his friend. So his foster brother did not have time to meet with his father and mother.
"Hmm.." murmured Emir when he heard the explanation from his daughter. "But..since when did you guys get along with each other?" The Emir's gaze looked at the two different types of children in turn.
Japheth, who had no voice from earlier, tapped on his dinner plate with his fork. The young man told his father and mother that there was no more hostility between him and Hazal. Now the two of them have made up and made a friendship.
Hearing the explanation from his son, looks happy the look on the face of this twilight husband and wife. They hugged Hazal and Japheth together to form a circle. What a beautiful view this morning.
"You great sons of father, I am proud of you" the Emir said, wiping the tops of Japheth and Hazal's heads.
Familiarity and intimacy takes place in this family. For a dozen years they did not gather in one room and do the same activity.
It flashed in the Emir's mind, to ask Hazal, "Who is the masked man you were chasing yesterday, dear?"
"He's Japheth, father. She's the one who replaced Ozcan as my dance partner." Hazal told her foster father. This old man was calm, nothing happened to Hazal.
"Hazal, do you really like your brother's gift?" meral asked smilingly at her adopted daughter. Meral did not see Japheth kissing Hazal on stage. In the mind of this middle-aged woman, her son had bought her an item in New York.
"Yes.I gave a very beautiful gift. Which he could not forget." exclaimed Japheth smiling mischievously and glancing at Hazal's face.
In his heart Hazal said, "What are you talking about. A gift from Japheth? Oh naw.... What do you mean was her kiss last night? Jesus mom.... You asked me if I liked your son's kiss? What am I supposed to say to you?"
Then Hazal smiled and said, "Yes, he gave me a gift I never thought of before." The girl's foot stomped on Japheth's foot hard. The young man grimaced in pain. Looking at the expression on his foster brother's face, Hazal smiled with satisfaction.
The breakfast is over. They continue their activities. The Emir walked towards his study, Meral walked towards the kitchen and these two young men went upstairs.
Hazal walked first and Japheth followed him from behind. Arriving at Hazal's room, Japheth surprises her in front of the room door. "Did you like my kiss last night?" japheth asked in a whispering voice. "Kiss your head !!" shouts Hazal who pushes Japheth's face back with his right hand. Bruaaack....!!! Hazal shut the door of her room hard. Japheth almost kissed the wooden door in front of him.
****
In his study, Emir Aksal was talking to his lawyer Alfred. Her lawyer is carrying documents about the murder of Erkan and Ayla Danner.
From the look on their faces, there was a very serious conversation.
Hazal, who was standing under the stairs, saw Lawyer Alfred enter his father's study. Actually Hazal did not care about the arrival of the lawyer, the girl went down the stairs and walked to the kitchen to get drinking water. When he was going back to his room, Hazal overheard the talk of Emir and Alfred's lawyer from behind the door of his foster father's study. "It looks like they called my parents' murder case" said Hazal speaking to himself.
Hazal put his ear to the door. Listen to it very carefully. Until he dared not move even a little. Eavesdropping on other people's conversations is something Hazal has never done. But because he was curious about the murder of his parents, he ended up eavesdropping on the two adults' conversation.
There was talk between Emir Aksal and Alfred in the workspace
"What documents do you have with you, Alfred?" the Emir asked as he threw the brown envelope containing the important papers in front of Alfred.
"This is a photograph and the identity of the murder suspect" Alfred replied.
The Emir opened the brown envelope that was in front of him. He took out the white paper inside the brown envelope. Look at the photo of the suspect.
"Do you know his Mr Emir?" ask Alfred.
"No. I don't know him. I just saw his face first" said the Emir, who was still looking at the photo
"Alfred, are you sure he's the one?" ask the Emir to his lawyer.
"Yes, Sir. This picture of the criminal is in accordance with the description of princess Danner" Alfred said with certainty.
"Where are the criminals now?" ask the Emir who still continues to read the writing on the document paper.
"She's at the Istanbul police station. The police are interrogating him. Would you like to see him?" alfred asked his client.
Unaware by Hazal, her foster sister sees her standing at the door of her father's study. Japheth approached his adoptive brother. "Hey...what are you doing?" japheth asked, patting Hazal on the shoulder.
"Pst...small your voice." replied Hazal by sticking her index finger on her lips.
"You're eavesdropping on dad's conversation? You brat turns out, wanting to know the affairs of adults" Japheth said in a whispering voice.
Younger.......!! The sound of Meral's beloved vase falling to the floor.
"Japheth...What are you doing? We'll get caught by dad." said Hazal very surprised with both of his eyes that almost came out.
The two adults, who were having a serious conversation in the room, were shocked to hear the sound of a falling object.
Then the Emir stood up from his chair and walked towards the door. When the old man opened the door of his study, he saw his two children standing at the door.
"What are you guys doing?" the Emir asked the two children.
Hazal apologizes to her foster father, and she does not intend to eavesdrop on their conversation. He was just curious as soon as he heard the talk about the murder case of his biological parents. "I'm sorry dad." Hazal repeated his apology.
After hearing Hazal's apology and explanation. Her foster father told them both to go into his study. "It is time for Hazal to get involved in this, however at the funeral I have allowed him to avenge the death of his parents" the Emir said in his heart.
Alfred, who saw the two young men enter his client's office, greeted them while shaking the hand of "Hello Japheth. You're all grown up now."
"Hello Uncle Alfred." Reply to Japheth and Hazal.
Hazal apologizes to Alfred's lawyer. As he explained to his foster father.
"Since you're here, can you help me recognize the face of the perpetrator? I've brought her photos and her identity. But maybe it's better if you look directly at the villain. How's it?" alfred asked Hazal.
Hazal agrees to her adoptive father's lawyer's request. Then the four of them went to the police station.
********
The Istanbul Police Station Room
Hazal is currently staring at the faces of some people suspected of murdering his parents. In the room is limited to thick glass that is not translucent. At Hazal's place, he could clearly see the criminal's faces one by one. But in the place of the criminal, they could not see Hazal. In Hazal's room, there was Japheth, Emir, Alfred and two police officers.
Hazal tries to remember the incident that separated her from her parents. In his memory, he faintly heard the voice of the killer speaking to his mother. But the killer's face was not very clear. Hazal tried even harder to pierce through the memory in his mind. "Auw." Hazal felt his head hurt.
"You all right, Hazal ?" ask Japheth and Emir.
"My head hurts" said Hazal, closing her eyes and holding her head with both hands.
"Don't be forced, honey, sit here first" the Emir said as he led Hazal to a seat in the room.
After feeling better, Hazal tries to recall the villain's face again, and his childhood memories begin to appear randomly. The shadow of the people in his childhood appeared randomly like a puzzle. "Auuww" cried Hazal who was holding her head in pain. Seeing Hazal in pain, Japheth approached the girl. "You all right?"
Hazal waved her hand, she gestured that there was nothing to worry about.
"What do you see, Hazal?" ask Alfred.
"I just saw the shadows of people randomly popping up, like a puzzle. But their faces I can't see" Hazal answered her foster father's lawyer's question.
Alfred took Hazal to his feet and led the girl back to the front of the glass. The lawyer asks Hazal to observe them one by one. Starting from people who wear chest number one to people who wear chest number seven. Look at them carefully.
Soon enough, Hazal's eyes were on the number three. He tried to remember again. "Come Hazal, think out loud, is this number three killer of your parents? Strive for Hazal." said Alfred with enthusiasm.
Hearing Alfred's passionate words, Hazal closed his eyes very strongly. He tried again to open up his old memory that had been buried a long time ago. The shadow of the accident and murder began to appear randomly, not sequentially. "Come Hazal, come out your memories !!" force Alfred.
Hazal was crying withstanding her headache. His head kept circling around, he couldn't take it anymore. "Auuww.." cried Hazal. Then the girl fell on the floor, unconscious.
"Hazal.......!!!" everyone in the room was shocked to see Hazal falling on the floor.
