Chapter 11 - Illusions

Throughout their lives, people tend to make decision and judgments on different people, things, events or life aspects in general … these reactions are the extract of their past experiences and understandings of life. Some of these people are lucky to have wise interpretations ...they grow up to be the good people of society; those who have misinterpretation based on their consciousness, tend to grow up as the bad people in society. The first party can know the good and bad; they chase the good and avoid the bad at any cost!! The second party of people know the good and the bad too, but they tend to choose to pursue the bad, and exterminate the good. The fight between these two parties of people is famous since a long time... maybe since the creation of the world… good people can expect these bad ones,,, that's why people say that good always wins!!!

Yet, there is a third category of people, those who pursue the good, but misinterpret their experiences…they learn throughout life to fight the good people because they believe they are the bad ones … they fight everyone just to survive… everyone is targeting them in their opinion, so they need to fight back…they live for themselves as none is important except themselves… if you're not their alley, then you are their enemy …those people live in the ILLUSION, it is their little castle that protects them, and the only place they can turn to when everyone is attacking them…

Illusion is the scariest place… the creepiest surrounding, and the most daunting experience…

It is like a puzzle, once you go in, you either survive with its rules, or you die with your own hands….

Scene 19: In Ka Di's office

The day after his meeting with Ja De, Ka Di enters his office and the secretary follows him checking his schedule and reading it to him … she was anxious!

The secretary: Mr. Akman! You have a meeting with board directors today.. the one postponed last time because of what happened.!!

Ka Di looks scarily to her "and what happened that day" ?

The secretary: " I..I..I mean.. Ms. Si Da's kidnapping da..

Ka Di: how many days have you been working as my secretary?

She: I have been called yesterday Sir!!

Ka Di: called?

Ka Di: I was working in the management department, and ..they..

Ka Di: you can go back there from today!!

The secretary startled "did I do something wrong Mr Akman? "

Ka Di: "you still have time to waste? If u don't want to go back!! You can go to human resources to end your contract!! "

At this moment Si La comes in.. she signals to the secretary to leave and she will take care of the things here... And the secretary leaves crying!

Si La: Ka Di!! You finally came back to your personality!! Can we say that the work monster is back! She smiles happily.

Ka Di (without looking at her): if you still have time to blabber, go prepare for the meeting with the board of directos... and order the human resources to prepare an interview to choose my secretary.

Si La: shall I choose one for you?

Ka Di: you have a lot work to do in the new company… let Arry lead the interview.. he knows me more than anyone.

Si La: More than me? I wonder ?

Ka Di said no more…

Si La was watching him mesmerizingly!! Although his harsh talk.. she wasn't annoyed with him.

Before she leaves, she said: I will ask the secretary to go back to the management epartment!!

Ka Di nodes..

Si La closes the door and asked the secretary to go back to her place..

The secretary asked "ah Ms. Si La! I was so scared!! But what did I do wrong"

Si La: "you have forgotten that there was an order to erase all the CCTVs and all recordings of that day?

Secretary: yes...and we did !! Even from the TV channels and internet!! Everything is erased"

Si La: and here is an information you don't know!! When he said all recordings, he meant also the recording in your memory" ...

The secretary was surprised!! How!!? How?!

Si La laughs: if u still have that memory, you should never talk about it.0. Neither in front of him, nor in front of anybody!! You should be careful…and please secretly inform your colleagues to not let anybody be fired!!

The secretary thanked Si La so much for her help.. she told her she is an angel as she takes care of all the employees.

Si La looks happy to see Ka Di comes back to his monster character.. after being distracted with the rendez-vous day and his search for Lu Dy, his character had changed, he became worried all the time, absent-minded, Si La has always felt distant from Ka Di and the Akmans, whenever the name Lu Dy was spoken in front of them .although Si La was Lu Dy's sister but she did not know why are they valuing her...why is she so dea to the old Akman… she always questioned the link that linked her to this family, but she never dared to ask.. with time, Si La's nightmare was to find her sister … but not because she fears being more distant from them, but what she hides is what really scares her….

Si La thinks that she knows Ka Di the most,…none of his family can understand him as much as she does …he relied on her in most of his business plan .. her name is associated with most of his company's projects… yet the only one who disturbs her is Arrey.. the secret keeper and his private assistant…!!

In the office Ka Di waited Si La to leave, he went to the sofa he sat down...took a pillow and he took of the head of pillow's zipper which had the shape of a key. he opens the safe drawer in his office.. and then looks to some files in yellow folder. He read through the files... he closed the drawer .. thinks for a bit and took his phone.

He calls Arrey: "hello Arrey!! Where are you?

Arrey: I was meeting Butler Ka Mi …we talked about the invitation...İ think we need to meet.. Ka Di: okey then, let's meet in the usual place. He hangs up.

At this moment, Si Da came in.

Si Da: brother Ka Di!! Are you fine??

Ka Di: Si Da, did you come alone? Where are your bodyguard?

Si Da: he is waiting me downstairs..

Ka Di: should I fire him? I told him to follow wherever you go!!

Si Da: I told him to stay there!! I need to talk to you…

Ka Di: about that topic?? Didn't we agree that it will be your hobby?

Si Da: come on brother!! I have already finished the University and finished my internship as you asked me to do!! Now I want to do what İ want..

Ka Di: acting and the life of actors is not easy...it might seem bright, colorful, eye-catching and attractive!! But it is really hard!!

Si Dda: I am very prepared for this and still I want to do it.. Sister Si La will help, she has many acquaintances in the field.

Ka Di: and what's the opinion of my grandpa?

Si Da: recently grandpa seems tired.. his eyes are dry and he is absent minded all the time.

Ka Di: yes.. he is disappointed.. he was eager to meet Lu Di that day.. for some reasons ....he was excited.

Si Da: what do you think the reason is?

Ka Di: none knows!! But İ will know soon (he murmured)

Si Da: so İ consider this as your acceptance?

Ka Di: unwillingly nods.

Si Da: so İ go to see Si La.

Ka Di: she already has lot of work!! Meet her after work.

Si Da: don't worry İ will not.. I will just see her and go.

Ka Di: and don't order your bodyguard to wait for you outside… none knows what our enemies are preparing for us!!

Si Da: hai hai brother.. don't worry.

She leaves to see Si La.

Scene 20: in Si La's office.

Si La was having a meeting with her department team. Si Da waited everyone to finish. When they left, they greet her.

Si La smiles to her! He is back to his self! Have you seen that !!

SİDA: Yes!! Since we have started preparing to meet Lu Di again, he was not his self at all.. but İ think he has accepted her death! ..a.a.am soryy Si La!! İ know you are hurt!! But ..

Si La: İ understand!! İ am already prepared for the worse!! Since İ saw her off 13 years ago at the airport, I had that feeling that İ am not going to see her again!!

Si Da surprised and shouts: SHE CAME TO THE AİRPORT??

Si La: you didn't know!! I thought Ka Di told you!!

Si Da: and my Brother Ka Di also knows that?? He didn't say a word!

Si La: ah!! He kept it for himself then!! She murmured!!

Si Da: she came to the airport but she did not leave with us?! Was she planning to stay with brother Sam since the beginning!! Poor brother... I always felt that Lu Di was taking advantage of him and brother Sam.. None knew what she was thinking about!!

Si La: Si Da!! İ didn't say so!! But what you say is logical!! İ am confused too!!". .. looks sad.

Si Da: do not give it too much thought... you should put effort on other things!! She teases her

Si La laughs shyly.

Si Da: ah İ came to tell you that my brother allowed me to start acting!! You still keep your promise ... don't you?!

Si La: aha these are good news...of course.. İ will call Mrs. Marie the manager... she will adopt you to her agency..

Si Da: will they accept me?

Si La: why not? You have the looks, the face, acting skills... ! İ am very positive about this..

She took the phone and calls her:

.....Ring ring ring.....

Si La: hello Dear Marie!! How are?? it has been a long time!!

Mrs Marie:( via phone): of dear Si La Akman!! Hello my dear!! İt has been really a long time. We met in Venice last time… but it was for short duration.. we couldn't sit and talk.

Si La: yes.yes.. I was having a meeting with some business partners. So İ left earlier.

Marie: what happened to the actress you told me about?

Si Da: she is just next to me.. can u make for her some time?

Marie: of course!! Shall we meet in the evening! İ am now in the beauty center…ah wait "Jay Jay!! My hair is ready…come here Jay". Ah sorry…the service in this center is very good ... and they are very talented.

Si La laughs kindly: so we should visit it soon then!!

Marie: İ really advise you to do. İt is great…

Si La: alright then let's meet tonight for dinner in the new restaurant of the shopping mall.

They greet each other and hang up.. Si La tell Si Da that the meeting is scheduled.

Si Da is happy and eagerly waiting for it.

Illusions are hard to be controlled, some people are full of themselves… they think that the earth turns around them…that's why they tend to hurt people, to manipulate their lives and lead them to live the worst experiences… and at the end they tend to think that they were the only victims… .This kind of people are the hardest to deal with. They make you feel that you are wronging them all the time, and you start sympathizing with them…because… they really believe that they are the victims …

She was grown up unsecured, she needed to feel security at all costs … but her deeds costed some other people's lives!! Once she wakes up from the illusion, could she handle the pain of the truth?? can she stop blaming herself…?? It is really hard…and painful ..
