Locked in the memory

Chapter 18: The beginning of the Drama

Murat POV:

Saturday was very eventful. Thankfully today was Sunday. I could rest for a while. Thinking this I stayed in my bed well until the sun was shining high in the sky. I finally got up, stretched and went to have a bath. Afterwards there was a knock on the door. The housemaid said, "Murat Sir, Derya Ma'am wants to talk to you. She is in the study" "Tell her I'll be there" I replied.

In the study:

"You wanted to talk?" I asked her. "Yes. Sit down. I wanted to talk to you about the company." she said. After giving her a questioning look she continued, "I want you to transfer the company to the legal heir." "What do you mean?" I asked her. Instead she slid an envelope towards me. It contained DNA reports. It said I was not a Sarsilmaz. My whole world began spinning. What is happening. I am not a Sarsilmaz? "It can't be.." I trailed off. "With all due respect, I had my doubts on Leila when I found a photo of a man that looked  very similar to you. So I had to get a DNA test done. This is the result. And since you are no longer a Sarsilmaz, I want you to sign off all the rights to Sarte to my son Doruk." She said dropping another bomb on me. "Does Doruk know about this?" She nodded no. I thought for a few minutes and said, "I am ready to transfer all my rights of the company to Doruk. Just please don't let Doruk know about this DNA thing." In return she just nodded her head and slid another bunch of papers  towards me. I signed them and transferred all my rights off to Doruk. And went away from there. I visited my mothers grave and spent the rest of my afternoon there. In the evening I called Tuval to ask about any updates of the house. She said, "There's some woman named Ms. Tapeli. She has almost bought the property. Paperworks are in the process." I had no energy to return to the Sarsilmaz house so I decided to crash at Kerem's house and get drunk to drown my sorrows.

Hayat POV Sunday morning:

*Doorbell rings*  "Good morning Vita!" "Good morning Hayat!" "Aren't you two very chirpy too early in the morning?" I asked Serkan and Cihangir. "Didn't you have your morning coffee yet?" asked Cihangir, "No wonder she's still grumpy" added Serkan which earned him a nice smack on his arm. "Ouch! It hurts!" he whined dramatically. "Stop being so dramatic...🙄🙄" "I've put water to boil. Anyone interested in having a black coffee now?" I asked and both of them nodded. After coffee and some more chitchat, they got to the point. "The real reason we are here is because we did your work." said Cihangir. "You did?" I exclaimed in shock since they finished the work in such a short span. "We did. We had to use our contacts and power and money. But we finally got the CCTV footage. " Serkan said, opening  his laptop and playing the video. By the time the entire video clip played, my blood was boiling hot and I couldn't speak anything.

Serkan POV:

I saw Hayat was red. No I mean literally RED. I slowly moved my laptop away from her reach, afraid that she might take out her anger on it. In the past few years I've known her enough to know her capabilities when she turns angry. Cihangir grabbed her a glass of water and we left her alone to let her absorb all of the information and cool down.  We were in the backyard when she approached us. "Now that you know the real person behind everything, what do you want us to do?" I asked. "Nothing." she replied. Cihangir and I looked at each other confused. "Nothing? After all of this?" questioned Cihangir. "Yea. I want to know her real agenda. Why did she want to hurt me? I was not on her radar. Surely she wanted me out of Sarte. And she had the other choices of hurting me more badly and ensuring I was out and away. So why did settle for less? There is definitely some ulterior motive. I have to find that out." Hayat stated. She definitely had a point. To lighten up the atmosphere, we changed the topic and continued talking about business and families afterwards. She got a call from her best friend Ipek for her wedding dress trial. She wanted Hayat to be there. Wedding dress trial led me to the thoughts of Asli and unknowingly my cheeks were red from the heat. I was lost in her thoughts when the brother-sister duo cleared their throats LOUDLY. That's it. Now they will tease me to death. "So who is this new girl?" Cihangir asked Hayat. "My best friend. Asli. The one with curly red hair. He's infatuated with her the moment he saw her." Hayat stated. "Oh, but wasn't she dating someone." He asked. Oh crap. I had assumed she was single. "Yes. Doruk. Murat's brother." "But isn't he the bad guy?" I asked, hopeful that this may be my chance. "He is. Didn't think Doruk was bad. But after seeing the video, I definitely think she deserves better." Hayat said. This made me hope!  "But I will not force her to date you. She will definitely need some space after getting to know his truth." Hayat stated to which I completely agreed. I am going to wait. As long as she needs. She is the one for me. I know it.

Monday:

Tuval POV:

This morning Ipek, Asli and Hayat were coming for Ipek's dress trial. I was designing her dress for her wedding. But when I reached the company, nothing was normal. Every single employee was outside protesting. I pulled Cagla aside and asked her, "What is happening?" "Murat transferred all the rights of the company to Doruk." She then looked around and then continued in a low voice, " rumor has it that Mrs Derya blackmailed Murat to transfer all the rights to Doruk. And he did it, for Doruk." "What the hell?!" I gasped. I joined the protest saying we want Murat as the boss.
