DANGEROUS LOVE'S

Collecting Puzzle Pieces

In this dark and cold night. It looks like a large house building with a spacious front yard filled with shared types of plants. This large and luxurious roar is in the center of the city in Istanbul. The shadow of the house building at night is like a fortress wall of the Ottoman Empire.

The shadow of a man of great height and wearing boots, was walking the stairs in the house, one by one the steps he passed without leaving a sound, until the man was upstairs.

Her sharp gaze stared at a room door with the inscription Hazal.

Kreeek.........

The sound of the room door opening, the man walked like a ghost, without a sound and a slight movement. The door of the room closed slowly, not even a cat would get out of bed.

Under the thin moonlight illuminated the corner of the room. Giving a flash on his head that plontos without hair a single strand. A young girl fell asleep under her pink blanket.

The man walked silently closer to the young girl. He sat on the girl's bed. Watching the face of a young girl sleeping nearby. His big hand held a few strands of hair on the girl's face, so that her face was clearly visible. A beautiful face is like a sculptural sculpture. Touched her pretty face with her fingers. Slowly, slowly, touching every inch of the girl's face.

"It turns out you're alive, little girl. Even though you're sleeping, you're very pretty. Baby you're so young. Your face is almost like your mother's. Even I still remember the face of your mother begging me to let go"

The tip of her finger touched the girl's tiny lips, slowly scratching the frame of her red lips, touching her beautifully split chin. The two black eyeballs looked at Hazal's face passionately, slowly touching Hazal's neck.

Hazal felt something was amusing, whether it was an animal or something else. Inside his dark room, his eyelids open, his brown irises looking at the face of a man with thick eyebrows and black eyelashes.

The man's big finger touch woke Hazal up, he was holding the man's hand that had explored every inch of his face even about to head to his chest. Get that hand off her body.

"Who are you?" hazal shouted to the man in front of her.

"I'm the one you've been looking for all this time, I've sent both of your parents into the afterlife." the man's baritone voice sounded terrifying.

"You.." cried Hazal loudly and woke her up from her dreamland.

*****

Hazal wakes up from her sleep. Her body was soaked because of that dream. He held his head with both hands. On his chin above his knees.

"Where is that guy? Who her? Is he the killer? Was it just my nightmare or was it really real? But it's like that guy's touch is real on my face."

Hazal stood up from her bed, she turned on her room light, she saw the clock was still at number two. He tried to remember the incident before he went to sleep.

"Yesterday night I was calling Japheth, he was angry because of Ozcan. Before that..in the mall..in the toilet..yes..in the toilet I met a man who almost looks like the man in my dreams. Their voices are really similar even the same. Or does he know where I live?"

"No Hazal.the guy in this room is just a dream...Maybe because I was thinking too much about the guy I met in the toilet yesterday. The man I thought was the killer. But maybe he's the one."

"The touch of her hand tickled across my face, when I held her hand, when I spoke to her, and she spoke to me. Everything is real. It was like he was in this room. But I can't see his face."

"Damn. I can't see his face, oh......."

Hazal then picks up her diary which she had been writing since she was twelve. His hand wrote every word of the killer, be it in the events of the dream and the events of twelve years ago. He tried to draw every little piece of his memory of the murder of his parents.

His old memory was buried long enough. The murder of his parents in the Alps. Right now his mind and his hands were working so hard, he closed both his eyes, and only saw black-and-white shadows in his past. Whatever his form he tried to understand it and drew it in his diary book. He tried to gather puzzle after puzzle in his scattered mind.

"Aaauuwww......."

Hazal groans in pain. He held his head, his gaze spinning as if all the furniture in his room was in an inverted position. Slowly he staggered around taking his headache medicine given by the doctor a while ago. He picked up a glass filled with water on his table.

"Aaauuuwww....please.....pain......help me....." cried Hazal very loudly because he felt like a big hammer hitting his head."

"Prinse......... Bruaaakkkk." a glass glass and medicine bottle slipped out of Hazal's hand, as Hazal's body fell on the floor of her room. Hazal was unconscious.

******

The noise on the floor of Hazal's room made both of her adoptive parents who were sound asleep downstairs surprised. At first only Meral heard the noise and screams of someone's voice. Then the middle-aged woman woke her husband up.

"Darling..did you hear anything?"

"What sound? Maybe a cat.go back to sleep."

The sound of her falling glass beaker and the sound of her falling body Hazal are heard in their room.

"Don't love, like something fell in Hazal's room. Her voice was very loud." Meral said to her husband who was sleeping next to her.

" Are you sure? That's from Hazal's room?" The Emir who was still half asleep, opened his eyelids.

"Yes the Emir.the voice came from Hazal's room. Hazal's room is right above ours. Honey, let's see what happens !"

The couple who had entered the five heads walked out of the room and up the stairs of their house. There was no sound of commotion from Hazal's room. Silence in the early morning hours. They walk into Hazal's room, slowly opening the door to their daughter's room.

"Hazal.......!!!" the husband and wife shouted at the same time. They walked over to Hazal's body.

"A...What happened?" Meral closed her mouth to see Hazal's body falling on the floor, broken glass and a few drops of medicine scattered everywhere. The girl's hands were covered in blood and exposed to broken glass.

Meral propped Hazal's head up on her lap, the woman patted Hazal's cheek gently, so that Hazal would wake up. But the girl still closed her eyelids, Emir checked her pulse, it turns out Hazal is still alive.

Immediately the Emir came out of Hazal's room and picked up the phone plane that was upstairs. He called the hospital to send an ambulance. He called his butler and housekeeper to check the surveillance cameras in this house. Hazal's foster father wanted to know if someone had entered the house and wanted to harm Hazal.

A few minutes later, an ambulance arrived at the Aksal family home. The medical team took Hazal to the hospital. The Emir and Meral followed them from behind in the Emir's private car.

In the car, Meral tries to contact Japheth. He saw the clock on his cell phone, it was already four o'clock in the morning. It's in New York about eight o'clock at night.

"Hello, mom. What's the matter with mom calling me this early?" japheth answered the phone from his mother.

"Hazal..he.." Meral's voice sounded nervous.

"Hazal's? What's wrong with Hazal, mom?" japheth's voice looked worried. The man stood up from his bed.

"Hazal fell in his room, he was unconscious. Mom and Dad are on their way to the hospital."

"What???" japheth's voice sounded hoarse knowing what had happened to Hazal.

"I'll be home soon to Istanbul" Japheth exclaimed to his mother.

"No. You don't have to come back here. Later I'll tell you about the development of Hazal's condition. Think of your studies."

"No, ma'am, I'll book a flight right now" exclaimed Japheth, who could not wait to see Hazal's condition.

"Japheth...listen to your mother !!!" meral shouted on her phone. But Japheth had disconnected his call and hung up his cell phone.

"What's wrong? what did Japheth say?" asked the Emir who had just listened to the conversation of his wife and child. He was focused on driving his car.

"He's going back to Istanbul" replied Meral.

********

But his misfortune happened again at night. Japheth could not get a flight ticket to Istanbul. All airlines to Istanbul are full for the next two weeks.

"Arrgh...jjjd...jade...shall......!!" ashes Japheth

"When Hazal got hurt, I couldn't be by her side."

*******

The Hospital

Hazal was lying weakly on the VVIP room bed. Both of his eyes are still closed. His index finger moved little by little in a bandage. There were a few words spoken on her little lips.

"Don't."

"Please......"

"Tidaaaaakkkk....mom...wake up...don't leave me."

Meral, who had been next to Hazal, tried to shake the body of her adopted daughter, so that she would wake up from her nightmares

Hazal wakes up, her tears are flowing. She saw her foster mother beside her and hugged her. Meral rubbed the back of her beloved daughter.

"You're having a nightmare, baby."

"Where is this, mom?"

"We're in the hospital. You fell in your room, your hands were scarred by broken glass, you were unconscious."

"Where is that guy?"

"Whose guy? Did someone come into your room?"

"Come, mother. I'm also not sure if the guy's real or just a nightmare."

"It's not real, baby. You just screamed in your sleep. You begged someone not to kill Ayla's mother."

"But.it's like real, mom. I saw the man pointing his gun at Ayla's mother, the man who shot my mother.." said Hazal, who was crying in her foster mother's arms.

"Be calm dear." comfort Meral who wiped the tears of her adopted daughter.

There were footsteps walking into Hazal's room in the hospital. They were the doctor and Emir of Aksal.

"You're a human, Hazal. Physically your body is healthy, it doesn't hurt. But apparently you're trying to wake up your memories of the past that caused the trauma. Did you try to remember something that happened before?" ask the doctor.

Hazal nodded her head and she looked at her adoptive Father and Mother, intending to ask, "Is she allowed to tell the doctor about the incident?"

"Say Hazal." The Emir lets Hazal explain what happened to the doctor.

Hazal recounts the beginning of her encounter with the man in the restroom, until the man entered into her dream, and she tried to draw every thing that was seen in her mind at that time. Then her headache relapsed.

"Have you found the bright spot yet?" ask the doctor who wants to help Hazal heal.

Hazal shook his head. Until now everything has been blurry.

"I'll give you a new medicine" the doctor exclaimed to Hazal.

"No doctor, I don't want to take medicine. I want my memory to recover. I want to remember every single one of those things."

"But Hazal.you'll have more headaches if you keep forcing your mind to work."

"I'm fine.I'll hold on. As long as the doctor doesn't give me medicine to erase my memory. Please..." Hazal made that wish while crying.

"All right.I'll just give you a headache cure. You can drink it every time your head hurts." said the doctor. Then she wrote a prescription for Hazal.

After prescribing the drug, the doctor left Hazal's room.

.drr.......

Meral's phone rang, it was Japheth who called. His son said he did not get a plane ticket to return to Istanbul.

"Mom...did Hazal have died? Can I talk to Hazal?" pinta Yafet to her mother via cell phone.

"Japheth wants to talk to you." cried Meral to Hazal and handed her cell phone to Hazal. Then the couple came out of Hazal's room to get medicine at the hospital pharmacy.

"Hello" said Hazal.

"How are you doing?" ask Japheth.

"is fine. Just a headache. You don't have to worry too much."

"How did you fall?"

"I forgot to say something to you."

"Something what?"

Hazal recounted what she had told the doctor just now.

"Are you sure he's the one?" japheth asked after Hazal told him the cause of his headache.

"I am very sure, Japheth. The guy in the toilet is my parents' killer. Maybe I thought too much about it, so that he could be in my dream." cried Hazal trying to convince his adoptive brother.

"Are you scared?" Hazal's explanation made her heart very worried for the girl's safety. It felt like he could go back to Istanbul, accompany and look after Hazal. Hugged the girl to calm her heart.

"Let's know, I don't think I'm ready to meet the criminal yet" Hazal said.

"You better not go out alone, I don't want anything to happen to you, Hazal." - Japheth.

"All right" said Hazal, agreeing to her adoptive brother's request.

"Rest. Dream beautiful, dream me in your sleep. Don't you dream of that villain." teased Japheth.

"Well, I'll dream of you wearing mom's clothes and lipstick. Hahahahahaha." Hazal returned the temptation of Japheth. They both laughed together.
