Letters

Sometimes your whole life changes in a moment, everything is over,But you can't do anything to change it even if you want to.

Before that dreadful night, I was hopeful that now my life will be filled with happiness.

My Name is Ipek Gencer I was born and raised in Murefte, a small town famous for its vineyards. Countless memories of my childhood are associated with this place.These grape fields spread all around used to belong to my mother and father.Then a man took away everything from us. But poverty brought us closer to each other. My Baba always used to tell me one thing. That in this world there is nothing more important than family.

And then one day I found a letter on my doorstep. It was a morning of my wedding rehearsal and only four days were left. The letter stating that I was adopted and had two sisters, with their names and addresses attached to the back of the letter. Me adopted? I decided to go see my mother so she can explain more.

"If you have come to convince me to marry you off then go away from here" my mother Gulistan said

"I have to talk to you Amma"

" don't call me Amma when you have already kicked me out of your life what have you come to do now You remembered me four days before your marriage?"

"Amma what are you saying Amma ,Amma,See this letter Tell me Amma Amma I want an answer Amma leave this and tell me is this true?"

"Yes this is true,It is true. It is true . One day your father came home carrying you in his lap You were just two years old. Since that day I became your mother,I am your mother. "

"You have been lying to me for so many years. I have been living a lie for so many years, tell me why did you hide such a big truth from me? Yes, my life would have been different today. Instead of being sad thinking that my mother does not like the person I am marrying I should have been trying to find my real parents whose child I am If they were your parents, you would not have left me like this .If you know who my parents are then please tell me."

" I do not know anything and neither did your father ever tell me As soon as I adopted you, I accepted you as my own child."

" Do you know this is about my life How can you do this to me I want to know whose blood I am .In that letter It is written that I also have two sisters I will definitely go to meet them I will go to meet them. I must find my family and if I come to know that you knew something and despite knowing everything you hid such a big truth from me then you will not be able to see my face, remember this!"

Is what is written in this letter true Do I really have two sisters whom I have not seen till date and neither do they know anything about me ?I then decided that I will meet them at any cost but I didn't know how this decision will affect my life I just wanted to know the truth and meet my sisters. I then decided to write them both letters.

'My name is Ipek Gencer, I know that it will be difficult to believe what I am writing in this letter. I received a letter in which it was written that I have two sisters whom I have not seen till date and they too were adopted like me and you are one of them. I will be very happy if you come to meet me on my wedding day.'

-----

The first to receive the letter was Deren Kutlu. Deren, who recently graduated from med school, and lives in one of the richest districts of Istanbul, receives the letter while working in the hospital owned by her family.

At first she doesn't believe it, she thinks someone's trying to scam her. But later decided to share the joke with her family.

"I am going to meet Ammi Baba. If any patient comes, then call me from their office."

"Hey Dad how are you?"

" I am absolutely fine my dear. "

"Mum"

"Deren how are you"

" I am also fine. Okay, do you know what happened to me today? Someone sent me a wedding invitation card and there was a note with it. Do you know what was written in it? That I am not your daughter. You had adopted me and I have two sisters too. She wants me to go to her wedding and meet them. Pe

ople have found many ways to commit fraud. Just imagine. If I had gone there and believed that letter that it was true, then obviously I would have created a scene here that why did you hide such a big thing from me. You don't think this is like a film story. It is not your opinion that we should complain against these people. But who has so much time? Yes. The idea is good. We should go and with this excuse we can roam around a bit, what do you think, we have planned a trip as well. Mum,Why did you all get so tensed all of a sudden??" Her parents faces paled immediately. Their secret is out. They can't lie anymore

"Haroon baba what happened all of a sudden?"

"Haroon will you tell her or I should?" My mum Mujgan inquired

"Should he tell you, are you joking? I know this is not true, isn't it? Baba what happened to you? It is just troubling you, how can this be true?"

"Deren dear I want you to know the truth. I didn't conceive for a long time. We found you, decided to adopt and raise you like our own."

"What? No I am your real daughter, I know you are joking, what has happened to you, why?"

"what I said is absolutely true, we Adopted you." Confused Deren decided it's better to go to the wedding to meet the so called sister.

The second letter goes to Çilem's home, but it doesn't reach her. Her roommate Azra received it and after reading it decided to call Cillem.

At Cilem boyfriend's house. It had been a long day the couple was exhausted after celebrating the news of their pregnancy. Cilem was asleep when her phone rang. Her boyfriend Hasan answered it

Quickly pick up the phone,

" Hello "

,"what do you want Azra?"

"Hasan can I please talk to Cilem?"

" she is sleeping"

" Please wake her up, it's very important."

" I can't wake her up right now and by the way why don't you leave our lives and one more thing Cilem and I are starting a new life and for God's sake stop following us now, stop harassing us by calling again and again, if you want to see her happy then go away from her life forever."

After dropping the call, Azra decided to pretend to be Cilem. Her life is so lonely,no sense of belonging. A perfect escape plan.

This letter couldn't have come at a better time for Azra as things in her life had just gone up in flames, after the folks in her music band involved her in a theft, she had no pre-existing knowledge of. A letter in hand offering a potential escape, a ruthless rich man on the other hand, ready to turn the world upside down to find Azra and his stolen belongings.

The girls both prepare to go to the wedding. In unbeknown to them, that decision will change their lives forever.
