WHO İS WHO?

The past enmity may cause tremendously harmful consequences on different people; concerned with the problem or not. With time, people tend to learn that this enmity was just an excuse for people's greed and their attempts to cover their sins. Sometimes, it is just an excuse to misunderstandings which took place because of the people's arrogance and their unwillingness to apologize. Although the feeling of guilt, none want to bend. Time passes, these people keep fighting each other and impose the inheritance of their hatred and the enmity along with their wealth.

None know how many people have been buried wrongly or deliberately to keep inheriting them. None knows how many tears have been shed by women and children to keep their arrogance running in their bloods… actually, none knows how much blood has been shed and how many children have been orphaned to keep the dignity and pride of the rich unleashed, where the poor's life remain trampled.

The new generation grows with these feeling, keep fighting others for the sake of past. Only few of them are aware that they are not chess pieces to be moved however others want!!! But they are the players!!!!!!

Scene 5: at Sorina Company

Sorina Company belongs to Kapy's Family, one of the biggest competitors of Akman Family and their old Enemy. For some personal issues, rather, they are being bound since the long past. The two families stood against each other for long and many year.

The chairman Sod Kapy, an old-man with a schemie and angry countenance. His temper increases once one talks about the Akmans.

The Oldman Sod sat on his chair staring from the big glass windows in his company. When his assistant Kora Birty cames in.

Kora: chairman! We have got an update from our men. It seems she is not what we are looking for. That old [he stops for a while and then looks to Sod and then carries on] fox was shocked when he knew that. His preparation for years were all in vain.

Sod smile calmly and sighs ... I am happy to hear his bad news. Keep an eye on them... and let's find out that Ludy first... Don't let that old fox reach her first. Though I don't know why he is interested in her… but she might be useful for the future...

Kora looks sad to Sod and thinks: [he must be very sad because he remembered his daughter and granddaughter]. He carries on to Sod: "I will be always with you, no matter what happens, you should know that I will be by your side chairman Sod".

Sod smiles happily [his smile was reflected in the glass of the window] as he knows someone is filial and devoted to his family.

At this moment, a young classy man at the age of Kadi come in after knocking the door.

Kora: hello Mr Jade,

Jade: morning Grandpa, morning Kora. I came for the meeting… the acquisition of TA Company is successful. We need the approval of the executive directors and your approval chairman Sod.

Sod was satisfied with Jade's work as he goes through the documents: "Jade! you make me proud of educating and raising you all these years. After your Dad passed away and your mother fled with…" [he hushed for a while] and looked annoyed. "Okay!! Let's call the board today and finish the procedures!! Akmans have already acquire SHAMA, acquiring TA is a good response to them".

Jade looked happy with the blessings of his grandpa and went out for his work.

The Grandpa observes him while leaving and says: "keep an eye on her. Jade made big sacrifices to help acquire TA's company. But I don't trust her."

Kora: I think Jade has already made a plan of his life and he knows who to trust and who not to trust. I did never see him make a relationship with any woman... She is the only one he knew".

Sod: yes!! That's all happened because of his mom. He lost trust in women. But do you think he loves her?

Kora: none knows what is in his mind.

Scene 6: In Jade's office

Jade was working in his office waiting for the meeting while his fiancé knocks in.

Jade: Katti come in.

Katti: I was passing by to see my friend working in marketing department and I come to see you.

Jade: you did well, I was about to call you to invite u for dinner.

Katti: ah! My dad told me to invite you too to dinner, he wants to talk to you.

Jade: alright then, see you tonight.

The relationship between Katti and Jade is so cold, it does not bear the intimacy between a fiancés at all. They seemed like colleagues rather Than man and his future wife, not only Jade, but also Katti.

After Katti's left, Jade took his phone and messaged someone.

Kora comes in calling him for the meeting.

Scene 7: in Akman's Mansion

Grandpa Korry and his grandchildren came back from the company.

At the entrance of the villa, Jenette was waiting them eager and anxious, Janette is the second daughter of Ackman family, the aunt of Kadi and Sila; an unmarried woman her 40s. She is the one who took care of the children of her brother after he left the family. Korry had another son is addition to Kadi's father, but none talk about him. You can't find any picture of him at home and none knows about him except Janetter and Korry and the buttler of the house.

Once she saw Sida, she hurled and hugged her «Oh my dear Sida, are you alright!! Have you been hurt!! What is going on!! Where is Kadi, is he hurt? Papa what happened?

Sila: aunty! Please calm down!! Nothing happened, [she hugged her warmly] and then added: "everyone is alright, Kadi is well too.. See!!!... He is very well.

Jenette hugs the three and felt relieved to see them all safe.

Korry: I feel tired, I am going up to my room. He calls Arry who helped him go up.

Sila and Sida went to their rooms too while Janette stopped Kadi from going out

Janette: tell me, did she come?

Kadi (feeling strings in his heart): no!! She didn't

Janette [pats in his shoulder] "that means she wasn't saved from the accident!!! I am sorry Kadi, but I believe you need to go forward in life, you are a nerd in the business world, you have been known as one of the three elite and most successful young businessman in the world, but you still live in the past. May be those days were the best days for you, but have you thought how much painful they were to Ludy!! We did not know what she lived that day. Please let her rest in peace and forgive her."

Kadi feels hurt deep in his soul.. Remembering a scene from school days:

Sila and Ludy (with school uniform) walking in the street, kadi and Sam were following them secretly. When Sila and Ludy reached a restaurant, a man stood in front of them…Sila was scared and hide behind Ludy. Ludy stood firmly against that man.

The man: why are you late? Didn't you know my mother feels worried when you come late?

Ludy: none of your business, I have already told mom we are going to come back late.

The man angrily: what do you mean none of my business!! Am your older brother!!! You understand!! Without my permission, you have no right to do anything, have you understood!! He slaps Ludy while Sila was crying fearfully.

Ludy looks to him with cold, emotionless face revealing her fearless self.. But she was obliged to obey him to protect Sila at any cost.

Kadi who was watching them from afar wanted to intervene, but Sam stopped him.

The man pulled Ludy and Sila from their arm and lead them home. Kadi and Sam felt very sad for them. Sam to Kadi «now I understand why you insisted to follow them".

Kadi keeps following them by his eyes.

Sam: but Kadi!! Didn't you hate that girl with long hair!! Why did you want to save her?"

Kadi with sad face: who said I wanted to save her!! I wanted to ridicule and mock her like she did to me.

He left the place while trying to find excuses, meanwhile Sam was looking behind.

Kadi wakes up from his daydreaming and says calmly: "forgive her ..." (smiles sadly).

Arry comes down and asks Kadi to go see his grandfather as this latter asked him to discuss an important issue. Janette was wondering what would this topic be, Arry said that he did not know.

Scene 8: In Grandpa's Room

Kadi knocks the door of his grandpa and enters when he asked him in. He was lying on his bed.

Kadi: grandpa!! You asked to see me?

Korry: yes!! I want to discuss something with you. But before, how is Sila?

Kadi: she went with Sida to her room.

Korry: you should take care of her from now and on. [Sighs...] She was living with the hope of meeting her sister today... she was breathing for this reason.. She was very eager to see her today… but none expected that the long awaited day would be the day where we confirm Ludy's death!! Sila was sure that Ludy will come because she would never break a promise she did give...

Kadi [tightens his hand out of anger] and then repeats: ['A promise ...!' And smirks angrily]

Korry carries on: "Now that we made sure she is dead!! I thought of making for her a last farewell..may be a funeral ceremony".

kadi was astonished and then asked: I always wanted to ask you why are interested in her since childhood! Why is she so special to you?

Grandpa: "I felt sympathy for them, I bear responsibility of what happened years ago. If I was the one who came to pick you up from school that day…all of you ... That tragic accident would had never happened to her and … [he kept silent for a while] and then carries on: "because of her, I knew you well .. I learnt how to value you"…

Kadi (astonished)

Grandpa:" she told me once ...." Jannette interrupts them: [dad it's time for your medicine and you should have some rest]

Kadi was eager to know what Ludy said!! But preferred to let his grandpa rest. The thrills he lived today were so much and that may affect his health.

Kadi: yes grandpa, you should rest a bit, I will take care of the funeral

Janette astonished: "Funeral?!"

Kadi: I will explain to you outside. Let him rest.

Grandpa takes his medicine and sleeps.

Kadi explains to his aunty the farewell and the aunty proposed her help in the preparation.

Kadi went to his room, while passing by Sida's room saw them (Sila and Sida holding hands and sleeping together)

He remembers his grandpa when saying that Sila would be suffering and that was the day she dreamed about for long time. This might be very hard on her. He keeps looking at them..And then withdraw himself to his room.

Scene 9: Between Kadi and Sila

Sila wakes up and looks at him... then follows him to his room. She knocks the door and he let her in.

Sila: kadi..!! Is there something you want to say?

Kadi: you were not sleeping!!!

Sila: yes! I accompanied Sida, she might seem strong during the scene... But she was felling frightened in reality. I think she is better now.

Kadi: thank you for taking care of my sister!! That might be hard on you.

Sila: don't say so!! I was a burden on you for 13 years... You took care of me like a member of your family.. I am very grateful to you and all your family. She smiles prettily to him.

Kadi: (looks at her.. and hesitates in asking her something.)

Sila (looks at him and sighs): during all these years, I waited you to ask me about what annoys you but it seems you did not make your mind yet!! Shoot it out!! What is this thing that annoyed you for long and you couldn't say?

Kadi still hesitates... But decided to say: "that day at the airport ... I saw her come and you two talked but she left hurriedly ... Why did she leave?.

Sila surprised: y…yy…you were there !!!!!

Kadi: yes.. I was a bit far and I didn't hear what happened. But it is the first time I see Ludy letting you hands off first and left you behind. I am sure there was something big! What did she say to you?! And that you did not say to us!!"

Sila trying to catch her breath out of surprise: "I...I...am...[she cries].. I am sorry, ...I wanted to keep what happened secret as she wished. She told me not to say that to anyone."

Kadi: I see. It must be something very big!! Don't you agree?

Sila shakes her head and the tears fall like waterfall on her cheeks.

Kadi when looking to her and recognizes that he hurt Sila by pushing her to remember her sister's death. He apologized... Sila left his room and stood behind the door...put her hand in her mouth and cried too much biting her hand to not make any sound of crying.

Kadi felt her behind the door… wanted to go out to support her .. But he sat on the ground... he is no less sad.

"Now Ludy is gone!! We should move forward ... isn't this her wish!? To see you happy and safe" he said to Sila from behind the door..Sila cried out loud.

JENETTE was watching her and then hurled to her ... hugged her and took her to her room.

Janette told Sila about the funeral and the farewell ceremony. And Sila nodded her head ..

"Now that everyone accepted the death of Ludy .. And chased out the ghost of the past. Everyone is looking forward to their new life…This generation is young and have many opportunities... None knows what life would bring to them". murmured Jannette while patting in the head of Sila trying to accompany her to sleep...

"Can we rest now?? Did really Ludy leave this world…İ really wish so.. I wish to see everyone leaves happily forever…especially you … 'Kadi ..kadii" she wispered.

.....

Kadi lies on his bed and close his eyes trying to sleep. Suddenly he remembers Amie's cold face... Her cold looks and strong countenance... emotionless gazes. She was different from Sila and Sida or any women he knew!! Like Ludy, Amie is strong, self-centered and caring for her loved one. Yet, Amie is more polite, her smile is genuine, she is lively compared to Ludy. Ludy seemed in the past like a dead body whose aim is to protect Sila. However, Amie's scary gazes are scarier than those of Ludy… her countenance is more mature, her looks are deep and she is strong. Some parts of my body still hurt because her pummels, how could a girl be violent to this extent!!" he questioned!

He felt strings in his body ... "Why!! Why do I keep remembering her face!! Who is she?" He murmured...

He suddenly wakes up when remembers the face of Lieutenant Ram. "Why does he seem exactly like Sam. Why did we forget about him!!!?» He holds his head: no no! We made sure that Sam was died in the accident. His body was buried in the graveyard .. Arry's father attended his funeral... He was there!! He won't lie to us!!

He took his phone and called Arry to investigate Lieutenant Ram's background...

He added: "is what happened during the Rendezvous day is just a coincidence or it is fate?!" Why did these strange people appeare while we were waiting for others." He closes his eyes and says: it seems there is no sleeping again this night!!

He went to the study room and started studying some files to disperse his mind and thought...

İt will be a long night ...again..!!

Scene 10: in Jay's house.

Jay and Amie come back home, Jay says that she will prepare the dinner for Amie and asks her to stay at home with her tonight. Her mom is having a night shift at the hospital.

Amie responds that she will, but she wants to go to her room as her head hurts. Jay sadly nods and tries to joke with her: don't blame me if the food is not delicious. You know am a makeup artist and not a chef.

Amie draws a superficial smile on her face and leaves to her room with slow steps and pulling her feet heavily....

In the room Amie looks from the window... she was absentminded.. Moments of her fight, Sila screams, Sida's tears.. And... kadi's face ..

Feelings of confusion, sadness, grieve and nostalgia have been flowing inside her, as these feelings grow, her head hurts more. She lies in her bed heaping herself in her blanket.

After a moment, she felt asleep. Meanwhile, Jay's mother {Sona Bitt.)Rushed into the home: "Jay..Jaaaay..."

Jay answered her: yes mom..am in the kitchen.

Sona: where is she? Is she hurt?

Jay: you are taking it so seriously, she is alright...she is sleeping inside.

Sona: I was so scared, if she meets them again!! What will happen to her...? They seem very dangerous...

Jay: you know our Amie is so strong and very intelligent. She can find any way to escape. This is why she became an outstanding laa.....

[She whists] ...But because you worry so much, she works in kindergarten and teaches in primary school. I don't understand why you are so worried about her. Past is passed. Let bygones be bygones ..let her do what she want mom. She is safe now. Let her do what she likes. You were the one to pursue her to study that domain! But suddenly you refused her to work in that field!! I don't understand.

"Jay!!" said Sona, her whist.... "You know I like you as much as her. But she has been entrusted with us. We can't let anything bad happen to us."

Jay nods: "I know... I have no doubt about it"… but she is an adult now, she knows what to do!! But she keeps a low profile because of you …she just needs your permission mom!!!

Sona steals glances on Amie from the door of her room where Amie was sleeping in her room. Then she leaves.

>>>>>

Amie, Kadi, Sila, Sida, the grandpa, and Jay who lived all the events of today have fallen asleep, none knews what surprises would tomorrow bring to each one of them. How could they face the storm coming to them!! The storm that Ludy faced alone 13 years ago… and SAID to take her life off!!!

Will the sufferings of the last years continue to chase them, or will happy moments blossom up from the darkness they lived for the past 13 years...

None knows!! Yet these children have the potential to play hard games…and win!!! It is just that none can calculate the losses they will face during the game!! How many pawns will they lose to win the whole game? None knows!!!.

<<<<<<<<

In the morning, Amie wakes up... she takes a long inhalation... Then exhales slowly and then says: "it's a new day... I will find a way to survive...and take care of them!!"... she washes her hair and takes a bath, and comes out of the room.. she looks for Jay.."Jay... Jay" she checks the time: "oh God!! She is so late, so late!!!! Jay Jay!! «She breaks into her room, but she find out that she has already left. She took a tour to the kitchen where she finds that Jay prepared to her breakfast with a note:

«since you run away yesterday without tasting my dinner, I prepared for you breakfast.. let's see what kind of excuses you will find this time for not finishing the plates" .. ah :"if you still want the last night's dinner, you will find it in the fridge.. I left early, because I have to solve the problem of yesterday at the company. See you in the afternoon, kiss!"

Amie smiles calmly when reading the note. She puts it aside and eats the breakfast. "Not bad" she adds.

She goes to the fridge, she packs the dinner after tasting it (she smiled as it is good).

She changes her and leaves the home.

She takes the bus and goes to a very old neighborhood and old city which started being demolished.

"Who you were is the past is not important, what is really vital is who you are at the present and what will you be in the future" this sentence saves some people from being trapped in the past or in the emptiness of their lives. But it helps only those who have a slightest hope for their lives.

If you keep moving on chessboard without analyzing your past moves or those of your opponents, you will certainly lose... actually, a winner is the one who employs the past to construct his present and future. 'Who is who' doesn't really matter!!What matter is who you are!!! Are you the winner? Or the loser?
