It's amazing how one moment in your life can turn everything upside down. how one soul can possess another. this is not a story about love. it's a story about passion, addiction, and unquenchable damage from one person.
It is best to start this story from the beginning.
April, 2007
The sun's spring rays caressed my hair and skin. once I would have enjoyed every millisecond of the morning, now I hate every moment of my existence. it's all his fault - Kenan. A psychopath, a narcissist, who will come to ask for my hand in marriage tonight. It's the 21st century, and we're still chasing stupid traditions. "a man will come, look at you and ask your parents for you. all you have to do is smile sweetly.", these are the words I heard from my father, one evening when I returned from Ishik. to think that all my dreams of a successful career turned to ashes. they tried to burn me with the flame of thirst for money, power and opportunities.
Looking back on it all, I remember how
I have always been haunted by the thought that my father wanted to protect me after my mother's death. Kenan Parlayan. The brutal hunter the whole neighbourhood is talking about. And who's standing halfway across the world to destroy me.
I walked out of the room without even saying hello to my father. his burning, stern gaze from beneath his thick grey eyebrows penetrated my skin.
I stood proudly, head held high, and walked straight to the lyceum.My attention was drawn to a lorry parked outside a house for rent. the movers were carrying a box of books on mathematics and physics, talking and laughing among themselves.
The house, which had been untouched for years, was suddenly being occupied by people. but I had no time to think about it. the only thing that gave me solace was talking to Ishik, although she had been acting strangely lately.
- It's Kenan Parlayan, girl. You'll be safe, you'll live in prosperity, and you won't have to count every penny. Shouldn't you be jumping for joy?
- I would jump for joy if I knew that my future as a designer was safe. I don't care about its possibilities.
- You speak well, beautifully, about careers and opportunities, but stop for a moment and look at us, at this neighbourhood and at our clothes. do you think we can afford to dream blindly?
Ishik's words stuck in my subconscious like a knife. "Blindly dreaming, power, opportunity." Maybe I really need to dedicate my life to Kenan.
We were silent the whole way, staring at the road, until the light brown hair, blue eyes, and tall stature eclipsed those thoughts.
- Devran. Devran Karan.
