"As edelweiss flowers fall on the ground and grow back, isn't there always a new leaf in every story of life?" (Only You - Mustika Amalia)
Today is a new page for Hazal. The day he lived and became part of the Aksal family. From today, people know her as the daughter of the Aksal family, the second son of Emir Aksal and Meral Aksal, the younger brother of Japheth Aksal.
She became the adopted daughter of the Emir and Meral, and called them "father" and "mother". Aksal's wife's husband wanted to protect Hazal from the criminals who had killed her biological parents, so they changed Hazal Danner's last name to Hazal Aksal.
Emir and Meral try to share their affection for their two children. They learn that Japheth is a child who does not like to share anything with others, including the care and affection of his parents. By raising Hazal as their daughter, they hope that Japheth can change and learn to share with others.
But not so with Japheth, the mind of this 10-year-old boy is different. She considers Hazal to be her rival, a little boy who always asks her parents for attention. His life has changed since Hazal lived in his house.
She has to share anything with Hazal, including toys, food, her personal collection except her clothes. Even all the servants in the house, the driver, and the employees in the company office his father was very caring and affectionate with Hazal, except him.
I hate him so much!
When his parents were about to enroll Hazal in the same school as him, Japheth was immediately opposed to it. He didn't want to see the little girl all the time.
It sucks!
"Why didn't Mom and Dad put him in an orphanage? He's an orphan. Why would he stay here?" japheth asked, shouting at his father and mother.
The Emir's hand floated on Japheth's face. A slap hit his cheek.
The boy was shocked and furious when his own biological father beat him to defend the orphan.
The Emir was also no less surprised, how could he arrive at such emotions. He could only look at her red palms.
Japheth ran away from his parents who were in the living room. Hazal, who saw this, felt sorry for Japheth because he had been beaten by his father.
The two little boys' views meet. An angry Japheth immediately pushed Hazal away. The little girl fell down and cried.
"It's all because of you! I hate you! Why don't you just die with your parents, huh?" and Japheth with anger and hatred.
"Japheth, enough!" reprimand Meral who heard the curse of his son in front of the door of the family room.
Soon Meral came out of the living room, then she hugged and covered Hazal's ears.
"Don't listen to him, baby. She doesn't hate you, you two are Mother's children" Meral said, rubbing Hazal's back. But the little girl was still crying.
"Japheth, apologize to Hazal!" his father's orders.
There was no reaction from Japheth. The boy's bead glared sharply, staring at the two-pointed little creature that was in his mother's arms.
"Japheth...!" the Emir shouted with his voice rising.
But Japheth paid no heed to his father's orders. He immediately ran towards his room upstairs. Slammed the door of his room hard.
************
On Sunday morning, there were birds chirping in the garden outside. The mood of Japheth is currently good, seen he was watching television in the family room while enjoying popocorn made by his family cook.
After she had done her schoolwork, she wanted to enjoy this day at home by relaxing and lazing around. Her father and mother were attending the inauguration of their new hotel.
She sees Hazal coming into the living room with her new toy. The little girl took the television remote that was on the desk, and replaced her channel channel with another show.
"Hey, what are you doing? Give me the remote!"
"I have a name, brother. Don't call me hey.hey like that" Hazal said, giving Japheth the television remote.
"I told you. Don't call me brother because you're not my sister!"
"I know, you're not my brother either. But I want to be friends with you. Will you play with me, Japheth?" hazal said as he extended his small hand to Japheth.
"OK fine. We play. Let's play hide and seek." It flashed in Japheth's mind to prank the little girl.
After this, he won't dare to talk to me again.
The two children were playing inside and outside the house. The spacious Aksal family courtyard is filled with a beautiful flower garden. The flower garden is in the front yard and in the backyard. In the front yard there is also a fountain with a statue of a Greek goddess. While in the backyard, in addition to the flower garden, there is also a large swimming pool and a small building.
Hazal's turn to hide. He thought about which place Japheth could not find. All the rooms in this house he had tried, and Japheth could always find them.
It flashed in his mind, a small building that was in the backyard of the house. They called the building the warehouse of the Aksal family.
The little girl went into the barn, she closed the door a little, stuffed it with a brick. There were no lights or other lighting in the warehouse. He saw that his surroundings were full of unused, dusty household tools and many cobwebs.
Japheth will not find me if I hide here. I'll stand by the door to watch her.
And Japheth cried out to Hazal's name.
Where is he hiding? Is it possible that he's hiding in the back shed?
There was an evil plan in the mind of the ten-year-old boy.
I wish you were there little cat.
Then the little man walked into the backyard. It was a small building that had only one room. He walked beside the building, like a young lion trying to catch his prey.
Japheth opened the door of the barn wide, and he saw Hazal who was surprised that suddenly the boy had found him.
"Because of you! You're here apparently!" cry Japheth with his mysterious laughter.
At once, Japheth shut the door of the barn. Lock it from the outside. The room went dark. There was no light, for the barn had no windows. Hazal then cried and tried to get up.
"Open the door Japheth! Open door!" hazal shouted as his hands hit the door hard.
"I won't open the door, little cat! Just shut up in there! My mom and dad are not looking for you. Inside this warehouse was a very hungry ghost. The ghost will eat you, Hazal," said Japheth, mimicking the ghostly voice he heard on television.
"I beg Japheth. Please open the door" isak Hazal in a soft voice.
"Play with the rats there, Hazal! You're a little cat, catch them" taunted Japheth, who left Hazal alone in the barn.
"You bad boy, Japheth! You're a bad boy!" shout Hazal.
The little girl was crying inside the barn. In a dark and smelly room. He recalls his father's car accident and his mother's death.
"Mother's father, help me. Get me out of here. I was so afraid" Isaac Hazal closed his eyes with his ten small fingers.
Don't be afraid, Hazal...
His mother's voice was like talking to him. The sentence was the last message his birth mother whispered, after the killer fired two bullets at his mother's body.
The air inside the warehouse was minimal. It makes it hard for Hazal to breathe. His body grew weaker and weaker. His head felt heavy and swirling, then he fell on the floor.
It was already afternoon, when Emir Aksal and Meral Aksal returned home. Japheth welcomed his parents with a very happy feeling.
"Hi Daddy. Hi Mother," said Japheth.
"Hi hotshot Dad, what's wrong with you? Why are you so happy today?" the Emir asked as he sat himself on the sofa in the living room.
"I won my new game, Dad," replied Yafet trying to lie to his father.
"Where's Hazal?" ask her mother who did not see the little girl.
"Maybe he's been sleeping in his room, all day I haven't seen him" said Yaphet, who then walked out of the living room.
As dinner begins, everyone sits in their seats, except Hazal.
Hazal's chair looks empty. Meral tells the waiter to call Hazal in her room.
A few minutes later, the waiter ran to the dining room in a hurry, and told Meral that Hazal was not in his room.
Everyone in the dining room was shocked, except for Japheth who acted as if nothing had happened.
They immediately ran to Hazal's room. Like the waiter said, Hazal wasn't in her room. Emir opens Hazal's wardrobe. Everything is still complete, the clothes and toys are still there. The Emir was worried that Hazal had run away and left his house because of Japheth's outrageous attitude.
Is it possible that the child does not live in this house? Or maybe Hazal went back to her parents' house?
The Emir ordered all the servants and guards to search for Hazal. Aksal's host also requested CCTV footage today from a housekeeper.
Thirty minutes later, a housekeeper gave the Emir CCTV footage.
In the absence of CCTV footage on a laptop in his office. It is clear that the two children were playing hide and seek.
Hazal goes into the barn located in the backyard. A few minutes later, Japheth came to him and locked the door of the barn. Then Japheth walked alone.
That meant....
"Japheth!" Emir's anger immediately overflowed to see the behavior of his son who was beyond the limits of reasonableness.
Japheth was surprised to hear his father yelling for his name. His face turned pale and nervous. He immediately came out of his room, on his jump a servant who was standing at the door. The waiter said that his father was waiting for him in the barn.
With his pale face and lethargic steps, Japheth met his father in the barn. He saw his father carrying Hazal out of the barn.
The poor little girl was unconscious. I don't know how long he's been unconscious in that barn. Japheth saw the eyes of his father who was very angry at that time, even his mother also ignored him. Not a single word came out of his parents' mouths, only the sharp glare from their beads. Like a sharp knife piercing his heart.
The Emir laid Hazal's small body in his room. The temperature of her little daughter increased. Meral tries to lower Hazal's body temperature by compressing her forehead with warm water.
Hazal's adoptive father called his family doctor. Twenty minutes later, the doctor came and examined Hazal. The doctor only gave the heat-lowering medication.
"Immediately take him to the hospital, if the fever does not go down more than three days," the doctor said, patting the Emir on the shoulder.
Japheth who felt guilty, did not dare to approach them. He only saw from a distance outside Hazal's room. He realized that his actions this time were outrageous.
She wanted to apologize to Hazal, but the little girl had not yet opened her eyelids.
***********
Elsewhere in a mansion in the western part of Istanbul, Turkey.
A man was about 35 years old, in a full black suit. The man was standing in his study, facing the window holding a photograph. It is not clear whose photo it is. It looks like a picture of a woman.
"If only you would be with me. Your whole family will not die this horrible death" the man told the photo he held.
The man threw the photo on the floor.
