Sena
While the young girl was watching the heavy rain falling as if she was beating the ground, she was pouring down the crazy questions in one mind with the violence of the rain.
So he went to the days when he wanted to leave everything behind and go somewhere he had never known.
It was about a year ago.
He was sitting in Istanbul back then, while he was going to the taxi stand at the corner of his workplace to go home from his job, he took the hand of the silhouette that suddenly appeared next to him.
She screamed when she said, "Eflal, you are making me wait too long, come now".
When everyone at the station thought that something had happened to the young girl, and they rushed around, the fact that no one saw the man despite the young girl describing the man and describing the man, it turned into a trivial incident when most people believed that the girl had a psychological disorder.
While the old man at the taxi station, whom he called Uncle Tahsin, was taking Eflal to his house, in a fatherly manner
When the young woman began to say, "Son, I have known you since you were a baby, do not tell your poor mother what you are going through, already anxious, your father has not been with him since he died."
"Okay," she turned back into the whirlpool where she was plunging again.
She said, "Yeah." As if she discovered something.
"That man of course, that man was the man he saw in his dreams."
"Uncle Tahsin, I will not go home, you leave me to Sena"
When he said, the old man nodded and steered the car towards the left signpost and turned left again at the corner of the street they came from.
Eflal then dialed the phone and called his friend.
When the phone rings twice, a high-pitched female voice answered from the other end of the phone.
"My Eflal Lamb, I just came home, I was going to call you, shall we go out tonight?"
The young woman breathes without saying a word, adding a cheerful tone to her tone.
Saying "Sena baby, I'm about to enter your street right now, I know he was unaware, but I wanted to surprise him."
with false joy, trying not to let his friend feel his mood for what happened today
She hung up saying, "Oh, how beautiful you think, it's holiday tomorrow, okay, I'm with you tonight."
"Uncle Tahsin, I'll get off at the next stop," she reached into her bag.
Touching the old man's shoulder when the taxi stops
"I would be glad if what happened today is between us, Uncle Tahsin," she smiled at the man.
When the old man said, "Okay, son, not to tell the best," he accepted the complicity, unaware that this little secret between them would change the life of the young girl.
The door was opened before he could reach the doorbell. The young girl smiled at her friend smiling at the door.
"If I knew you missed me so much, I would have come before Sena," he embraced his friend.
While leaving a juicy kiss on the cheeks of the friend she hugged, saying, "Don't you miss it, my honey beetle?"
"Ayyy disgusting Sena, how many times I will warn you not to kiss you like that," he said, on the other hand he was wiping his cheeks with a napkin.
While the young girl complained with a false anger, her friend giggled and pulled the hand she stuck to, leading them to the living room and crouching on the sofa together.
His friend
"Eflal I have news for you," she winked, saying.
She rolled her eyes when she said, "What is that news Sena, don't tell me any bullshit or anything like that."
He was trying to make the young girl laugh by tickling, saying, "Amannn soulless thing, who would fall into the heedlessness of talking out of love with cold kindness like you, otherwise your mysterious world, don't live there, don't come to our world, I swear to you."
Sena knew that these states and attitudes showed that something was upsetting her friend and she knew that she would never tell.
"Eflal, in two months, I will start working with an American-Turkish partnership company called TMC"
"What?" he even scared his friend sitting next to him with his scream
"Do not tell me that I will settle abroad or something, Sena will send you with an oath, the companies in the country have come out." while saying
"Wait stop, calm down, listen to me first, then you will cry" said his friend
"Hakan Arıhan, one of the partners of the company, my friend Faruk Varya, that is his close friend who is a doctor, remember?" He looked at his friend with asking eyes.
Eflal scoffed grudgingly, "What about Hakan Arıhan?"
"That is Hakan Arıhan, who is looking for a lawyer who is in need of his company both abroad and in the country. We met when I suggested Faruk, and I accepted." he continued
"More precisely, my bottom fell, the man is a genius girl," he winked.
"So you liked and accepted the man, not the job?" his friend said
"I know that much Sena is crazy, I now believe he is insane," he looked at his friend with a scolding.
"What does this company do?"
"What was the name"
"TMC" he answered his friend excitedly.
When he said "I think psychological drugs and some experiments" he did not go into too much detail.
He took his friend's hand and lifted him from the sofa, saying, "Well, okay, then we will also celebrate this.
"Come on quickly, let's eat something, then celebrate," he winked.
He looked lovingly and sighed after his friend who cheerfully went to his room.
When he said, "Stay like this, like a cute little girl", the days they spent together as children came to the fore.
Eflal had always been a sister to Sena, a two-year difference between them, and Eflal did not put Efla in the position of sister.
Of course, one of them was more mature than the other and Eflal had this responsibility.
Sena lost her family in a traffic accident on her way to university, she had no one left, except for her friend whom she called her brother.
The young girl, who had long been left behind in those days, had regrouped and clung to life again, she always cheered around and the young girl was still chirping.
They said, "I'm ready, let's see the night is ours" and they headed to the outside door.
When they asked each other "Is it the usual place" at the same time, they both nod at each other with laughter and again at the same time.
They said "the usual place" and headed to the beach.
They were returning home after a beautiful celebration that night, when they came to the side of the street, Eflal stared at the man standing on the sidewalk with wide-eyed eyes frozen, looking at his friend's face, which was white as if he had seen a ghoul, and then he looked at the man opposite.
“Where had he seen this man before?” He felt his memory, empty.
"Who's that guy, what's going on?" His response to the questions he listed was a huge silence.
After shaking his friend a few times to recover, they hurriedly took his arm and headed home.
He shuddered with a dark darkness he saw when he turned his head and looked curiously at the man standing on the opposite sidewalk again.
"How quickly did it disappear?"
“Where does he go?” After quickly scanning both sides of the street, he quickly opened the door with the key he took out of his bag.
He pushed behind him and let the dull gazing friend in the house, whose color turned candle into the house, and closed the door.
He leaned against the door and tried to scan and digest his experiences by breathing deeply, while the questions of how did I know that man kept his mind busy.
He hugged his friend, who had come to his senses, and waited silently for a while.
"Who was that drunk guy, baby? Why are you frozen like a ghost? Are you hiding something from me?" he lined up the questions as if to himself.
Only one answer came from his friend
"I saw it for the second time today"
Sena changed her clothes without saying anything to avoid forcing her friend, stretched her to the bed she had prepared and covered her.
He said, "Don't worry, I will sleep in the same room with you" and went into his room and changed himself.
"We will talk about all that happened in the morning Eflal can not hide it from me anymore," he threw a menacing look at his friend and kissed him on the forehead.
"Go to sleep now, and whatever you've been through today, get out of your mind for now," he said, reaching for himself on the opposite seat and closing his eyes, but he couldn't fall asleep while his mind was still full of a ton of questions left unanswered about what his friend's experience might have been.
After pretending to be asleep for a while, he got up and made himself a coffee.
He scanned the street with suspicious eyes again from the window of the hall, sipping his coffee.
He was frozen in place with the sight he saw.
