The next morning, Hünkar wakes up and acts as if nothing has happened. She knew she had to avoid thinking about it and must busy herself in another things. So she then showered, changed her clothes, and went downstairs, making sure that everything is fine.
[Hünkar entered the living room and saw Haminne sitting there.]
As always, seeing her mother makes her happy and makes her forget everything. She went and kissed her on the cheek, greeted her and asked her how she was doing.
They chatted and laughed for a while as they waited for the others to come down so they could have breakfast together. After a while Demir, Züleyha and Adnan also joined them.
[They had breakfast and when finished, Demir left for work, Fadik took Haminne for a walk and Züleyha took Adnan to play outside too.]
Hünkar also busied herself as planned, she went to the greenhouse, watered the plants, planted some seeds, then went to the stable to see her horses and feed them.
A normal day for her. And for a moment she forgot everything that happened yesterday, as if nothing ever happened. But not for too long.
When she finished her chores, she went to the house and sat down to read a book, as usual. At that, Züleyha came and told her that she was going downtown to do some shopping for Adnan and that Gülten would accompany her. And told her that Adnan would also be joining them.
To which Hünkar agreed and let them go. They all went out and she kept reading.
After a while, while she was still reading, the house phone rang. As usually happens. But this time, it was not an ordinary call, it was the call, his call.
[Hünkar gets up and picks up the call.]
Hünkar: Merhaba!
[There is a complete silence.]
Hello? What's wrong? Who is-?
[She stopped, she knew it. IT WAS HIM.]
There was an uncomfortable silence, as she knew it was his call, she could sense it, she could feel it. But she remained silent, she couldn't find words, she wasn't ready to talk. So she hung up.
[Hünkar hung up and sat down, she didn't feel her body or her hands or anything, she was just stunned.]
Hours passed and Hünkar was numb. She couldn't believe it, it was him, it was him after so many years. After 20 years. She knew it was him, no one could take it from her mind. Now, she sensed that the time was coming closer to meeting him face to face. Maybe she wouldn't, but he would. And she was more than sure of that.
[Hünkar stood up.]
She stood up from the chair and headed to the stables, where her horses are located. For her, her horses are more than animals. Being with them, helps her feel at peace, she can even talk to them because she feels that they understand her. They calm her, transmit harmony to her, just being by their side is good for her.
So to be calm and forget what just happened, she stayed there with them.
[Time passed and Hünkar went to the front yard to spend time with Haminne.]
Hünkar: Annecim! What are you doing? Why you seem so disturbed?
Haminne: I miss Adnan, where is he? Where did he went? I want to play with him. I miss him very much.
Hünkar: [smiles.] Ahh anne, he will be here in a while. Don't worry, tamam?
[Züleyha arrived with Adnan and Gülten.]
Hünkar: Bak! They are back. Now you can play with Adnan.
Haminne: [claps happily.]
[Züleyha steps out from the car with Adnan while Gülten takes the bags inside.]
Hünkar: Ayy! My son is here.
[Takes Adnan from Züleyha and kisses him.]
Canim benim! Look how handsome is my baby boy.
[They all played, then went to the mansion. Züleyha showed everyone what she bought and also brought some gifts for Hünkar, Haminne and Demir. They talked and shared all day long.]
It's past noon and Demir arrives from work, as usual, they all dined together. After dinner, they all talked, played, chatted. Later on, they all headed for their bedrooms. Except, Hünkar. She was still sitting in the living room, alone. Once again, thoughts were attacking her. But she stayed out of thinking about it.
After a moment, she stood up and was going to her room, when suddenly, another call came in. After 10 at night, receiving a call is not very common. But she knew it wasn't just a call, it was him, again.
[She took a deep breathe and answered the phone.]
Hünkar: He-? Hello?
[Once again, there was just silence in response.]
Excuse me, who is this?
[Hoping for an answer she waited a bit, but as she didn't got any, she hung up.]
She remained calm yet confused. She went to her room, changed into her night attire, took her favorite book to read and headed to the terrace. She started reading her book, trying to distract from everything that was happening to her. But still, who can control the mind?
Thoughts once again came to her mind. She then, closed her book and stayed there watching at the stars.
She began to wonder, what's going on? Why does he call but not speak? Why is he keeping silent? What is the reason for doing this? He maybe wants to speak, but he can't find the words. He may not have the courage to speak to me either. Then why he keeps doing this? Is he feeling guilty? Is he trying to trick me? What's all this?
Time passed and the night was getting darker. But thoughts remained.
Why is it that at night our feelings and thoughts collide? What is it about the darkness that makes us think so much about something or someone?
It was just her, the dark night and her thoughts. Hundred of thoughts once again were falling like stars in front of her. She didn't know what to think about anymore, why is his presence bothering her so much? The news of his return shuddered her world. Isn't it rare? That after so many years, someone who snatch something from you, someone whom you already forgot, comes back. And the first thing that person does is searching for you. Then you ask yourself, the reason behind this sudden comeback. And why is it so strange all this?
We all know that she is a strong woman, fearless woman. She can defeat any problem, any obstacle. But why! Why she couldn't get out her mind THE CALL?
