THE RENDEZ-VOUS Day
Chapter 1 Part 3:
Although the truth can be understood through a person's experiences and a thorough reading of a person, but in fact only part of it can be discovered… this way, this makes it difficult to reach the whole truth or reveal it.
They say truth can be seen through the eyes!!! Yet not anyone can perceive feelings and perspectives. People are real actors, the others just see what they want to see. Faces…eyes …actions… and words are all lies. Only few people have the intuitive abilities to find it out. People with eagle-eyes and active mind. Those who see what others can't see; and hear what others can't; a person who can see your words without uttering them; someone who can calculate your heartbeat just by looking at you.
Ackmans' attempts to reveal the truth that was engraved during the last 13 years now depend on the identity of Amie!! Yet; is she really the long awaited person? Now that everyone is stressed and worried, will they be able to read Amie's character? Who is going to find out the truth?
İn the company's entry hall, lot of questions have been raised, yet, none has been answered. Can the parking lot push these people to reveal the truth? Who among them has this intuitive ability? Is Amie a Passerby in this game or is she an important piece?
Scene 4: in the parking Lot
Walking down the stairs, Amie receives a call from Jay.
Jay: Amie!! Are you alright? Are you hurt? What happened?!
Amie: what do you mean? I am in the company, I will deliver your documents in a while...
Jay: ehimm!! I have watched everything. Someone was filming live what happened. I am sure mom watched it too.
AMIE Thinks: [am sure the fourth man did that...this isn't a coincidence!!] then says to Jay: "I am okay, you must have seen that. Did mom call you?"
Jay: yes, but when heard the gun's shot the camera was off.... Mom did, she was angry.. You know her. [She keeps silent for a while... then...] how did...
Amie interrupts her saying with a confused voice: "I am sorry Jay, you need to submit the documents by yourself".
Jay feels worried for her sister and says: "don't worry am at the gates of the company, I will submit them".
Amie hangs up the call and remembers what happened during the scene.. She remembers Sila's face and looks very sad. Sida's voice; the Oldman looks!!! And feels confused!!
At this moment Sila, calls her from the back: "Ludy!! Wait…Please wait... I know it's you... I know you remembered our rendezvous here 13 years ago!! We promised each other to meet here. So for what reason will you leave now!!?"
Sida and the old man and Arry also arrive as well.
The old-man to Amie: "how have you been during this period!!? How have you been saved from the accident? Why didn't you emplane with us that day.
Amie [without looking to them] looks so sad, she stood backward to them and they did not see her reaction.
She thought of taking off her cap, glasses and mask. But some terrifying scenes came across her mind at that time.» A young girl crying in front of a completely taxi wreck. Amie was watching the girl ...the blood shed everywhere around the scene. A young guy lying on the ground covered with blood everywhere, the dead body of the taxi driver was thrown away from the car. The young girl crying so loudly until she fainted. Other cars crashed around... An old man died in the scene..
Amie wakes up frightened feeling pain in her head] and turns to them [wearing the hoodie, a facemask and dark glasses] :" you must be mistaken, I am not the person you are looking for!".
Sila shouts: stop your play!! I know you are her. I have this feeling... İ know it...'' her tears flooded on her cheeks and around her face...
Amie: looks to her for a while… her gaze was still cold: I do not remember you! Your face is not familiar... Have we met before?
Sila [does not want to believe that this young lady is not her long awaited sister] she tries to convince her to confess the truth... but in vain... Amie is certain that she did never meet her.
Silla: tell me then why did you come to this company where you are not an employee here!! I analyzed everyone's curriculum vitae and never come across your picture
Amie: I am a passer-by!! I came to submit some important documents instead of another person.
Sila: this is not an explanation that Ludy gives…Such a fool argument...are you trying to fool me.
Amie (angrily): I got enough from your non-sense lady!! If you are done. I have other things to do.
Then she intends to leave..
Sila startled: wait...
Amie sighs …what a day!!!! She turns to leave. She opens her eyes widely out of surprise when a young, classy and very handsome man come from the back of Amie and tries to pull off her hoodie and mask. Amie felt him before he does this and a fight started between the two. Amie when seeing the face of the young man had a weird feeling.. But not familiar.. She felt confused deep in her and her moves were a little slow comparing to those of that man.
The man was hitting to hurt her... But his hits were warm..
Stuck between the warmth and pain, Amie murmurs: what's wrong with this man!? .. What's with this feeling..?? She feels pain in her chest growing... What's going on? She wondered.
She pulls herself together and takes a breath. A short break took place while each one looking to the other angrily, their gazes were full of questions, their eyes were questioning each other without uttering a word…this situation took longer before Amie starts again. This time she caught up with him and her hits were stronger. The man was amazed, and wanted to hurt her by his pummels.
The old man shouts: Ka Di !!! Stop it...
Ka Di is a young, classy, stylish and very handsome man.. He is tall, with a short black hair and graceful hexangular face. His thick eyebrows are well set on his face, his well bridged nose add more arrogance to his facial expressions, and his small sarcastic smile and his white teeth bespeak of his engraved sorrows ... At first, his countenance bespeaks of how well educated, smart and polite this man is; yet, a second look would show the real devious personality.
His name made her freeze and her hands shacked, she puts her eyes on the ground as she avoided showing her frightened eyes to him. She whispered so desperately deep in her: Kadi!!! Kadii ..kadii.. The pain in her chest grows more and more!
Kadi stops and fixes his eyes on her remembering some scenes when looking to Amie:
In a school yard, two young boys playing basketball while two other girls were cheering them up. One of the two girls shouting: Kadi kadii kadiii yeeees!!
One of the guys wearing glasses and gives a cool signal to the girls.
Kadi says to the boy with him: Sam!! You see my move? I defeated you in basketball too.
SAM took the ball from him with a quick move and performed a high Slam Dunk. Other girls sitting in the stadium and were cheering Sam.
One of the girls: look to Sam, he is so gorgeous, handsome and strong... wooo. He is the dream of all the female-students in the school here. Even though he is poor compared with Kadi, but he is number one in our school.
Another girl: yes yes. Ka Di's scores are very high!! He is a nerd and he is very rich. But his looks are so normal... he is not charismatic like Sam.
They carry on cheering for Sam. While Kadii looking to them upset...
At that moment, two new female students with the teacher passed by the stadium, very beautiful students, one with short hair and other with long hair. One of them (with long hair) arrogantly looked to Kadi for a short time and then she left.
Kadi wakes up... and stares at Amie...
The old man looks at her attentively... while Amie tried to leave the place.
Ka Di hold her arm to stop her from leaving… he looked angrily because she did not recognize him. He shouted: "after all these years, you are still arrogant and you like playing with our feelings, the feeling of those who... [He stops for a while, when Sila was looking to him and Amie was looking to Sila] then he carries on: those who cared for you 13 years ago."
Amie inhales then exhales slowly.. She keeps silent for a moment. She turns to them and bows to them (everyone was surprised because Ludy does never bow whatsoever the reason is, she does not bow to anyone under any circumstance, but now... this girl...she does!! Murmured everyone...)
Amie: I am sorry to cause this case and to ignite your feelings and longings, Although I don't know why I am guilty. It seems you all share a story, and you think I am your long awaited person, but actually I am not. You say 13 years ago. I was abroad with my mother and sister. I do not know anyone of you and I do not remember I saw anyone of you before.
Everyone looks amazed, the old man: her mother? Sila adds: "her sister?!"
Everyone kept silent for a moment. While Amie intended to leave. But Kadi stopped her: "if you are saying the truth, why are you wearing this mask and glasses? Why are you trying to hide your face?
Amie: actually there is a reason, but I can't say! I'm sorry. I don't care if you believe me or not. I don't want to stay here anymore. This situation makes me ill...
Kadi angrily tries to convince her to take off the mask, the cap and glasses.
At this moment Jay appears: sisterrrrr… Amieeeeeee... [Cries] all this happened because of me, I am sorry... I am sorry. (She hugs her)…
Everyone looks confused "Amie?'
Amie: it's okay Jay am alright, see!! Nothing happened. Let's go home, I am sure mom saw the news, she might be worried about me. But how did you know me am covering up my face.
Jay: the pants you wearing is the one you gave me last time, I made my special touch on it. Amie looks around the pants and sees a small white carnation flower drawn on it. Amie says 'carnation flower? How ugly!!'' Jay smiles to her!!!
Amie smiles to her gently after getting off her mask and glasses [Sila looks from behind sadly and disappointed: "her smile seems real to her... Just like Ludy smiled to me in the past!! Am I wrong? Does this mean she is dead in that accident? Her eyes were filled of tears while Kadi, the grand pa and Sida looked at her with grieve.
Amie and Jay wanted to go, but Kadi did not let them go, he still feels something is weird about Amie. He says: why did you come to the company?
Amie I already told you I came for personal reasons… I cannot say…
Jay looks to her. While Kadi says: then you will stay her until the police comes and tries to pull her back to look at them...
The grandpa shouts on him: "stop it Kadi, you are going so far. She is a stranger… let her go".
Kadi: am sorry grandpa, my sister was approximately killed and none knows whether she is a quisling with them
Amie is disturbed by his accusations and says (without looking to them): Only stupid people may think I am a quisling... Why should I interrupt their plan where they would certainly kill her!!
Kadii: there should be a reason I don't know. The bullets were not real so killing her was not in their plan!! And your weird acts
Amie wore again the mast and glasses: "then don't talk until you know the reason. You are accusing people for no reason!! And you say they didn't intend to kill!! Are you dump? The two other man's gun were real!!!!"
Everyone surprised!! Kadi looks to Arry questioning him!! Arry nods to him.
Amie: heh!! Didn't you know?? So why did I shoot them then? Hah!! So if I made just a small mistake, does this mean you would be all killed!! I assumed there was a plan you made!! I can't believe this!!!!!!!
The Akmans were confused… one looks to other
Kadi questioning Amie: but you are acting ambiguously, so none knows who you are and why are you at this place!! Then you are a quisling!! Who knows what you will do later.
Amie angrily: your reason sucks, does your brain work? You're acting like a smartass where you are stupid-ass.
Kadi looks with a calm face questioning her identity "she is talking back like Ludy"...he remembers:
In school days: he was sitting in the first table in the classroom. He puts his stuff on the table preparing for the lecture. Some annoying guys come and make fun of him being a course addict and can't do anything except studying.
Kadi did not reply to them. Everyone took their places and the teacher enters, puts her stuff on the desk... and looks back to the door, she stood in front of the blackboard and says: everyone let me introduce to you two new friends.. Come in please!
The two beautiful girls Kadi saw earlier came in. One with short and the other with long hair.
The one in short hair introduces herself: I am Bittry Sila, I come from the north, and I won the second place in the math Olympiad I have been transferred to this school for being famous by its math syllabi. I am happy to know you all.. She bows to them.
The classmates clap their hands to her and welcome her happily while the guys were flirting with her.
The teacher asks Sila to go and have a sit with a girl who was waving at her: Miss please let her sit here". Sila sits next to her while the girl keeps looking to her beautiful face.
The teacher asks the one with long hair to introduce herself too. The second girl was no less beautiful. Her wavy long hair was more attractive, her well defined eyebrows and her big green eyes were attractive. The boys whispered to her "wow what a beauty!!"
The girl looked at them down: took the chalk and wrote on the board: Bittry Ludy. She took her bag and sits with Kadi.
The guys murmured: "what an arrogant girl!! Does she look down to us just because she is pretty".
The teacher asks Ludy whether she is sister with Sila.
Ludy: yes Mum, we are".. she spoke less, but her words respond to the question her voice was sweet, she did not try to pretend or to get close to her classmates. She sat calmly and focused.
Sila says: "teacher, my sister Ludy got the first place in ..."
Ludy interrupts her with a scary look. And Sila stopped.
The teacher wraps the situation and starts the lecture. Kadi seems very annoyed with Ludy sitting next to him, none ever sat next to him. He was not able to focus on the lecture. Suddenly, she says to him: stop staring at me. This annoys me. The lecture is important and I want to understand it.
Kadi felt embarrassed, he felt that she was looking down on him. He raised his hand and said: Madam would you like to change the place to her.
Teacher: why?
Kadi was embarrassed. He did not find what to say except: "girls with long hair are not smart" everyone was laughing at him and this made him angry more and more. While Ludy was astonished and looked to her hair surprised. And then she says: are all ugly boys nerds then?
Everyone was laughing except Ludy. Who felt sorry for saying that to him? But did not add anything. During all the session they stayed calm. Stealing glances angrily from each other from time to time.
Kadi wakes up from his daydreaming. And looks sadly to Amie. And says: who are you?
Jay: bows to the party and says: "I am sorry, she came here because of me. Please don't suspect my sister. She has no bad intentions. She came because I told her to.
Amie: stop! What are you doing??!!
Jay: I won't let them suspect you. I should take responsibility of what I did.
Jay explains that the documents are for her company and she was asked to bring them today. Jay took off Amie's cap and glasses. She said that Amie has a cold, this is why she wore the mask to prevent others from being infected.
The party were listening attentively and all seemed disappointed especially Sila and Kadi.
And they were very amazed. Amie was a very beautiful young lady with short straight hair and honey-colored eyes. She does not resemble Ludy at all.
Arry comes to Kadi and the old man and asks them to hurry up start the board-meeting and to wrap up the case with the police.
When everybody made sure that Amie is not the long awaited Ludy, they were about to leave disappointed. At this moment, some other police cars came in to the parking lot. The police surrounded Amie and Jay, and a young policeman came out of the car.
Police officer: Lieutenant Ram, what are your orders.
Sila, Sida, Kadi and the old-man looked stunned and shocked!! Thinking: is this a Dream? How could this possibly happen?
Lieutenant Ram approaches the old-man and Kadi and says: " we have received a report that we should come to the parking lot? Did you make the call?
Kadi wakes up of his shock and remembers when he was coming to the company and Arry told him about the men kidnapping his sister, he knew that the men would flee via the parking lot so he asked the police to wait for them there, but why a lieutenant himself came there and not to the company's hall? Kadi was thinking.
Kadi: yes I am the one who called.. But at any chance, is your name Sam? Don't you remember us??
Amie: do you think everybody knows you? (She looks at Ram and remembers that she also called the police and asked them to wait in the parking lot, if, at any rate, her plan of saving Sida fails, the police would trap them here)
Ram (with serious voice): I am Lieutenant Ram from the southern district. My name is Ram Adam. And I don't think we met anywhere, didn't we? Unless you are involved in another crime or case?
Sida says: How many times did we hear this sentence today" I can't believe!!!
KADI pulls himself together and says: I know someone like you, we studied together since childhood. His name is Sam.
Amie looked indifferent to Ram which confused Kadi, Sila and Sida, as if she doesn't know him. All this proved to the party that she is not the Ludy and Ram is not Sam though he is completely a copy of Sam....and the Rendezvous day was completely the opposite of what has been planned to 13 years ago.
At the left corner of the parking lot, there was a black car with two men inside listening to all what happened. Took a phone and reported what they saw and heard.
İt is a joke of how present make you realize how much time have you spend on trying to achieve useless goals. Ackmens spend 13 years preparing of how to meet again Ludy, they prepared plans of how to apologize to her. Now it seems they'll never apologize and she will never receive their apology.
Yet, destiny's the hope of many people...hope was placed in the surprises brought by this destiny; but…sometimes when it happens, it seems to destroy people's wishful dreams and motivation to walk forward. Yet, one should remember that it depends on the person's patience and struggle because Destiny provides always sweet memories and beautiful future, whatever the events one can leave in between.
Ludy was the hope, will the Amie as the destined girl bring her back in front of the Ackmens or does it have other plans for them? Was the plan of Kadi –the smartass- to meet Ludy again in vain?!! Who is Ram?
