My heart stopped when I saw that picture popping up on my Instagram feed as I was sitting in the back of a black Alfa Romeo Giulia, being chauffeured to the inarguably most important meeting of my life - my election as Juventus President. I hadn't been following Kenan for a while so the picture popped up a day late on my feed - and of course no one around me had told me the news until now. He was a taboo topic.
My hands started sweating as we neared the training center and my mind could only picture the huge diamond ring on that Turkish girl's finger. But I caught a grip again when my door was opened after we came to a halt and I stepped out of it, looking up at the building which held so many memories. I confidently walked to the meeting room where most of the stakeholders' representatives were already assembled. I spotted my father talking to Uncle John in the back of the room and went on to greet them both.
A part in me wanted to them to address that picture, but no one did. And no one else in the room dared to. We were eventually all asked to sit down and our current President Gianluca opened the assembly. There were some other agenda points to be ticked off first, but eventually, it was time to vote. I was the only candidate, but people could still decide to turn in a blank vote if they didn't approve of me. We all got our election papers and an envelope on which I put a firm and big cross next to my name with my Montblanc pen I had gotten from Kenan for my graduation. I had never stopped using it as it had always brought me luck, but right now, my hand was burning from the grip on it. That was the next item that was going to wander into my memory box then, stuffed somewhere in the back of my humid cellar.
I took a deep breath as I threw the envelope into the ballot and waited for everyone else to do the same. President Gianluca started opening the envelopes and showing us all the cast votes while a secretary protocoled the proceedings. My heart sank further and further down when I saw a cross next to my name on every single paper and I was close to tears. I had expected at least two or three blank votes.
"Hereby, I declare, that this assembly has voted unanimously, with an approval of 100%, for Beatrice Agnelli to become the new President of Juventus. Per her wish, she will appoint Claudio Marchisio as her Vice President. Congratulations." now-ex-President Gianluca said and I stood up to shake his hand, as did Claudio after me. The PR team was now nervously buzzing around the room, getting pictures done and statements from the stakeholders to publish in our press release.
