The scorching light of the sun shines brightly in the sky of New York City, opening every new leaf in the life of every living being in this world. Yesterday is the past, today is the time to live, and tomorrow is the future to face.
The five young people have spent eight hours air travel from Paris to New York. Carina felt as if she could not believe what was happening in her life right now, today she is under the sky of New York City. "Is this a dream?" muttered. Lee who was walking beside her rubbed the top of Carina's head and smiled at the girl.
"Lee, try pinching me !!! I can't believe I'm free !!"
The Japanese man pinched Carina's arm. "Ow... hurts !!"
"It's not my fault you told me to pinch you yourself" Lee's smile broadened as he looked at Carina's pursed lips.
"But your pinch is painful" said Carina, who rubbed her flushed arm.
"That means it's not a dream. It's the fact that you've been free."
Carina stopped her steps, Lee who had walked a few meters in front of her came back to Carina. "What's wrong?"
"Lee, thank you for all this" Carina said, bowing her Japanese-style body greeting someone. Lee seemed to laugh at Carina's behavior, he immediately hugged the girl. Carina rubbed her eyes which started to shed tears.
"Forget over your past, step into your dreams of the future" Lee whispered in Carina's ear. The girl nodded her head behind Lee's body. Then they soon caught up with the other three friends, who had gone before them.
Seen in the waiting room, a young girl with her beautiful face was waiting for their arrival. The girl waved her hand in the air, when she saw some men coming out of the arrival door. From a distance a pair of eagle eyes recognized who the girl who waved at him was. No one knew the girl but her. The girl immediately ran towards the owner of the eagle eyes who was standing about ten meters away from where she stood. The man grabbed the body of the beautiful girl who ran towards him and carried him into the embrace of his full of longing.
"I finally get to see you again, I miss you so much" said Hazal with her face set on the chest of Japheth's field.
"Of course we'll meet. I miss you a lot too, you're so beautiful, baby," said Japheth, who gave her kisses all over Hazal's face. The girl looked embarrassed as several pairs of eyes saw Japheth's madness.
"Ehm.. um.. um...." David's muttering voice released the intimate embrace of these lovers.
Hazal's attention was on Carina. "Who is he?"
Lee explains to Hazal that Carina is the one who has helped him get information about Hazal's parents' killer. Emir Aksal's adopted son approached Carina and hugged the girl.
"Thank you for helping me, even though we've never met before."
Carina returned Hazal's embrace. "This is what I should have done, on the basis of humanity."
The two girls smiled and laughed. They introduced each other. Carina is two years older than Hazal. As if they had known each other for a long time, they walked together while occasionally laughing. Leaving the four men walking behind them.
Hazal asks them to return to Japheth's apartment, because Hazal has prepared something for their arrival.
The girl asked Japheth to open the door of her apartment. The sound of several balloons erupting greeted their arrival. Small pieces of colorful paper rained down on their heads. Seen a sentence that reads on a white board attached to the wall. "Welcome my Family's... Thank you for helping me. How I repay all of your kindness."
Everyone seemed happy to see and read the book.
Then Hazal took out some food and drinks on the table. There is a meat sandwich, egg omelette, french fries, fruit salad, vegetable salad, macaroni paste, fresh milk, fruit juice and lemon water.
"Well, you know what I want, Hazal. My stomach has rebelled since then" exclaimed David who immediately took the sandwich in front of him.
"Did you make it yourself?" ask Japheth, squinting his eyes. As if in doubt over Hazal's ability, because he knew Hazal was lacking in cooking.
"you think? Is the ghost in this apartment cooking?" answer Hazal with a sniff. The girl pursed her lips. Seeing Hazal's facial expression, Japheth rubbed Hazal's head and hugged her lover's waist. Pinched Hazal's nose, looked at the face of the girl he loved with a smile.
"I love everything you do" whispered Japheth in Hazal's ear. The whisper was very soft, almost barely audible even as the dining room situation was very crowded. They were grabbing each other for food on the table.
After filling their stomachs, it was time for them to go home. Lee, Jason, David and Carina say goodbye to Japheth and Hazal. But Hazal restrains Carina's departure, "Wait, do you have a place to stay here? I mean brother or friend?"
Carina shook her head. "He's going to live in my apartment" Lee said.
"No-no... Stay with me. I'd be so happy, if you'd be willing to stay with me here" Hazal's hand-held pinna Carina.
"But.., Hazal."
"Come on. Don't turn me down. Are we not friends now?" Hazal put his hands together in front of his chest as if he was begging for something.
"Okay.. okay." Carina agreed to Hazal's request. Japheth's lover jumped with joy.
"Wait, what about me?" ask the confused Japheth.
"Honey, you can stay with Lee for a while" Hazal said.
"What ?!?!?!" Japheth and Lee looked at each other.
Along the way to Lee's apartment, the Turkish man was unceasingly grumbling.
"How did Hazal have such a crazy idea? What wrong? He said he missed me, loved me, but in fact he told me to leave. I just want to enjoy a wonderful moment of togetherness together with her, after we've been apart for quite a while. What's on the girl's mind?"
"Gossiped... Well they must be talking about something from A to Z" Lee said.
"Mungkin... Seperti yang dilakukan oleh gadis-gadis yang ada di kampus kita dulu."
"Oh my God !" japheth cried out who was massaging his forehead.
At night in Hazal's room, the two beautiful girls tell each other about their lives. Although their way of life is different, but they have the same background, namely they are both orphans.
"Carina, what are you gonna do in New York? Do you want to work or continue your studies?" ask Hazal who is sitting on his bed.
"Let's know. I haven't thought about it. Being able to be free from my stepfather alone, made me feel like I was dreaming" replied Carina who was sitting in front of Hazal.
"You must have goals, right?"
"Yes, I wanted to be an accountant."
"What if you continue your studies at my college?"
"What's? No. no." Carina shook her head.
"You don't have to worry about fees, you can take the selection exam to get a scholarship, I'll help you pay your tuition, I'll, and you can stay with me in this apartment until you graduate."
"But...What about Japheth and your family?"
"In a few days Japheth will return to Turkey, if you stay here, then I can share a room with you, and I will not be lonely. About my family, I'm gonna talk about this with my mom's dad, they're gonna agree.
"Thank you for your offer, Hazal. I'll think about it."
Hazal hugged Carina. The Italian girl shed her tears. By the time he was about to live his new life, God had sent a friend beyond a brother who would accept himself for who he was. Even Hazal did not feel disgusted when she hugged her dirty self. The two girls pulled out their blankets and laid themselves on a soft mattress.
Bend day....
Japheth and Lee go to Hazal's apartment. These two men wanted to see how their girl was doing. After the bell rang three times, Hazal opened the door to her apartment. The girl allowed them to enter.
"How are you and Carina?" lee asked, asking Hazal, but looking for Carina.
"We're fine, he's inside, come in" Hazal replied. The Japanese man stepped out and saw Carina making a warm drink at the dinner table.
Hazal followed Lee's footsteps from behind, but as he walked three steps, he realized something was missing.
"Are you mad at me?" hazal asked who was approaching Japheth, who was standing at the door of his apartment. The man threw his face the other way, avoiding Hazal's brown eyes.
Hazal laughed at Japheth's sulking attitude like a child. The girl closed the door of her apartment, and stood beside Japheth.
Hazal rested his head on Japheth's shoulders, staring at the still-lit apartment light bulb. "I just want to repay Carina's kindness, she risked her life to help me" Hazal said softly.
Japheth rubbed the top of Hazal's hair and hugged the girl's waist. Took him into his arms, in Hazal's kissed forehead. The man realized his selfishness, seeing that the girl he loved had a good heart.
"I'm sorry, actually I just want to spend some time with you, that's all."
"What if we go out in the afternoon?" asked Hazal who raised her head.
Japheth answered with a smile, the man looked very handsome with a charming smile. Japheth quickly landed his lips on Hazal's red lips. For several months, he had not felt the touch of his lips.
A....!!!
There was a sound of broken glass coming from the apartment where Hazal lived. Japheth and Hazal rushed inside.
"What's wrong?" ask Japheth who saw the broken glass on the floor accompanied by a spill of black liquid like coffee flowing on the floor. Carina and Lee stood like statues facing the still-lit television screen. Hazal thought the two of them were fighting.
Carina covered her nose with both hands, she was shocked because the glass she was holding was detached from her hand. But the news he received this morning was much more shocking to him. Lee hardened the sound of the home theater in front of him.
The glass screen aired a news of the murder that occurred in the city of Milan, Italy. The murder took place at around 03:00 in the morning local time. The victim was a 48-year-old Italian national. Based on the identity card found in the victim's wallet, the man was named MAX WALDEN.
"What ?!?!?" japheth and Hazal cried at the same time.
