First meeting after many years

-Alanur-

Today. Exactly twenty eight years ago you left me. You wrote that farewell letter after which all my world fell down. After which I lost you, I lost myself, I lost faith in love, I lost everything what I believed. I was waiting for you in that snowy cold weather but what did I get? A letter... After which everything changed...
And every year, exactly like twenty years ago weather always is the same. It force me to remember you even if I try to forget you. Yes... I tried everything to forget you, but I failed. Today weather is again snowy and cold. I don't know if I am cold because of that letter or because of that emptiness which started twenty eight years go.

Today, like every year I go to that same place where I was waiting for him. I don't know why I do that, maybe that's because I try not to forget all the pain because of that big our love? Or maybe I hope to see him there? Even if so, all these years I didn't see him, I was feeling only big pain like a knife in my heart and nothing else.
With all these thoughts I came to that seaside and I was looking to the sea. Earlier it would calm me down, but now I just feel emptiness in my heart and in my soul and nothing else. I was watching to seaside for one hour and after that I got a call. It was a call from my assistant Onur of my gallery. I answered:
A:-Hello. What happened?
O:-In gallery we have visitors and I need you.
A:-Can't you manage it by yourself?
O:-Just come.
A:Okay, I am coming.
After that call I saw my driver next to my car. I got in the car and asked my driver to go to the gallery.

**In gallery**
When I came I saw few people looking at my drawings. Then I saw Onur and asked what happened.
O: There was two people which wanted to meet you because his company want to collaborate with us, but you weren't here and he didn't have a time to wait, so I invited him to your gallery's 10 years anniversary party to talk about it.
A: Who are they?
O:Some Mehmet and Selcuk. They have a company but I don't know it's name. When I invited them to the party, they said that they cannot come but their father will come. He is the owner of the company.
A:oof, Onur. Can you finish your job until the end?
O:I'm sorry.
A:Anyway, thanks. You can go.
It's not okay that he didn't found out what kind of company it is, because I don't collaborate with uncertain companies, but okay, we will find out at the party which will be tomorrow.

NEXT DAY. EVENING.

Since today is party for my gallery's anniversary, I started to get ready. First I took a shower, then I did my makeup and now it's the time to choose an outfit for the party. I was choosing between two short dresses. One was red, another one black. I was looking to the mirror with both of them and finally chose to black one. After I finished to get ready, I called my driver to come next to my door with a car to go to the party.

When I came here, people started to come. I invited Onur next to me and we were going to meet people. After thirty minutes I got bored, because I've never liked this kind of parties, so I went to some people who I knew from before to talk. While we were talking, I also took a glass of champagne. Suddenly I heard Onur's voice behind my back:
O:mrs. Alanur? This is a person which I was talking about yesterday.
I turned my face to them and frozen while Onur continued to talk:
-He is Ziya Karli. Company's ,,Delta Karli" owner.
I didn't hear what Onur was talking about. I was frozen until a glass of champagne fell from my hands.
O: are you okay?
A: yes I am. - I answered and then looked at Ziya with fake smile on my face. I held out my hand for a greeting and said:
-Welcome. I am Alanur Yildiz, the owner of the gallery.
Ziya with a deep look in his eyes looked to Alanur's eyes and shake hands with Alanur with words:
-Ziya Karli. I came because I want to collaborate with your gallery for a project.
Alanur wanted to run from Ziya's eyes as fast as she can, so they fast discussed everything about collaboration and after that she went to the bar who was in the corner of the place where was the party.
-One double of whiskey, please.-She asked barmen.
She drank all the glass with a one sip and asked one more. She couldn't believe who just she did see. Her hands was shaking. His glance didn't change at all after all these years, she just wanted to melt in that glance but at the same time she was angry at him just like all these years. Where did he come from after all these years.-She was thinking. If we will have to collaborate in this project then I will not be able to endure this pain, because it will get worse. With all these thoughts she was drinking and thinking until she was really drunk, then she paid her bill and went to the car where her driver was already waiting for Alanur.

-Ziya-

Twenty eight years. Exactly twenty eight years ago, she left me with only a letter. She even didn't bother to give that letter by herself. I really tried to forget her. I tried everything, but every detail remembered me of her. Just like now. It's again very cold and snowy, just like that day. Looks like destiny doesn't want me to forget her even if it's very painful. Every year I went to our places expecting to see her face somewhere, but I didn't. This year I decided to go to that place where I got her letter in the seaside. When I came here I saw that one car went away from this place.
-Some people still coming there...-He was thinking, but he didn't know that this car was Alanur's, woman's who he failed to forget.
Even if it was very cold, he still looked to the sea and was remembering Alanur and their most beautiful moments. Then he got a call from his son Mehmet. He answered:
Z:- Mehmet?
M:-Dad, i went to that gallery but there was no owner, so we have to come to some of anniversary party tomorrow, but me and Selcuk are busy, can you go?
Z: -of course. Thank you. Bye.
M:-bye, dad.

NEXT DAY. EVENING.

Since today is some gallery anniversary party, Ziya after work went towards there. His heart was beating hard, but he couldn't understand why. After he went in to that place where party was going on, he heard laughter which he knew deep down in the heart. It was she. His love. His pain. His hero. It was Alanur's laughter. He still couldn't believe. He was looking around and saw a familiar face. It was Onur. Ziya knew him from different works. He went to him and greeted him. Then Onur said:
O:-Let's go. I will introduce you with gallery's owner.
They started to walk and then Ziya understood that gallery's owner is Alanur. He couldn't stop to look at her and he thought that she is still beautiful like twenty years ago. He was still staring to her even when Onur introduced them. Ziya saw that Alanur freezed when she saw him. That meant that he recognized him but at first she couldn't say any word until a glass of champagne fell from her hands. Then she greeted with Ziya. She pretended that she didn't know him and Ziya continued this game and did same thing. Then both of them discussed most important things for the project and then Alanur disappeared. Ziya's eyes tried to find her again but he failed and he understood that he will have to wait their next meeting...
