1 PART 1: BEGINNING

The young man closed his eyes wearily. He had just returned to his country.

He put his hands through his thick hair. A mail on his computer caught his attention. This was an email from Barbaros Özekli. Özekli was a very wealthy businessman. He opened the mail and read it for a while. Özekli was inviting him to his company.The young man could not understand. Why was Özekli inviting a psychiatrist?

The young man woke up early, he did sports. He had a muscular and healthy body. While he was having breakfast, he remembered the mail he received last night and decided to go.

The man took a short shower after that dressed up. He looked perfect in his cloth trousers and black shirt.He came out of the building. There was the gloom of autumn, clear eyes stuck to the sky. As soon as he returned to his country, he got into the black luxury car he bought.

Before long, he reached the address. He entered through the great door, headed to the reception. The woman at the reception eyed the young man with appreciation.

"Hi! I want meet with Barbaros Özekli."

"Do you have an appointment?"

"Yes, must be."

"What was your name?"

"Ezel Asral."

"I will inform you immediately." Said the woman and she spoke on the phone. "Mr. Özekli is waiting for you, thirty third flor."

"Thank you."

The woman sighed behind the man.

Ezel got on the elevator and reached the thirty-third flor. Knocked on Özekli's door and entered. Ezel watched the man across from him for a while. He was a vigorous man in his fifties. He had thick white hair.

Özekli said "Thanks for coming."

"I wondered why you want to meet with me." Özekli watched the young man opposite him and took a deep breath.

Özekli said "I want to make a job offer." He swallowed and continued. "I have a daughter." Özekli had difficulty speaking. "She is schizophrenic. We went to the best doctors but her condition is very serious. I heard your name recently. Your work attracted my attention." Ezel kept his silence.

Schizophrenia was a damn illness.

"Sorry for your daughter. I will open a clinic soon, I would be delighted to help."

"I will want something different. My daughter was very young when she lost her mother. I have a house out of town and whatever happened happened there. She does not agree to leave the house." Ezel felt sorry for the man. "I want you to treat my daughter at that house. I want you to live with her in this process." Ezel did not expect such an offer.

"I don't think it will be possible, Mr. Özekli. "

"Please consider my offer." He handed a specific card and Ezel took it.

"Have a good day." Ezel left the room.

Ezel walked in from the cafe. He saw her blond lover sitting a little further ahead. Yasema hugged him tightly.

Yasema said. "My handsome darling came." She kissed Ezel's lips. They sat opposite each other. "Tell me how is it going?"

"I got an offer from a famous businessman."

"What offer?"

"He wants me to help his daughter but the girl lived far from the city."

"I understand if you want to go."

Ezel said. "I don't think I will accept." But you can't escape fate.

That night Ezel had a nightmare. He had seen his sister who died in the nightmare. He couldn't get out of the nightmare for a while.

Ezel's mother had schizophrenia and had committed suicide after giving birth to him. Years later, his older sister also became schizophrenic. Ezel had also witnessed her sister's suicide while in high school. And Ezel had decided to become a psychiatrist then.

Just tonight, Ezel decided to accept Özekli's offer.

The young man blinked with curiosity and obscurity. He look at the footprints formed in the mud, then the big house. The big house was like a castle. Dark clouds gathered in the air. The weather was bleak and cold.

Stepped up and stood in front of the old door. He punched his hand and hit the door. Waited a while, the door creaked open. A short old woman opened the door.

Woman said "It's cold, just go inside." Ezel entered the house.

The house was empty quiet and scary. He stood in the living room and watched the fireplace.

And he saw a young woman. She was slowly descending the stairs. Ezel thought she saw an angel. It was a woman in a white dress with long black hair.

The pretty young woman stood before the man. Ezel was watching her with admiration. She was small, with a snub nose and full lips. Her eyes were red like fire.

"You must be the new doctor. I'm Karmen, Karmen Özekli." Ezel repeated the name inside. She was the schizophrenic girl of Özekli. Ezel swallowed.

Ezel said "Ezel Asral."

Ezel understood that nothing would be the same anymore. And that's how it all started. It wasn't a fairy tale, it wasn't a happy novel at all. It was just a drama about bodies that fell victim to a curse.
