Mark and Ricky reach Dezze's apartment for some work. Both of them stand in front of the door for a few minutes.When Dezze doesn't come out even after ringing the doorbell, again both try. Dezze doesn't come out this time either. Assuming Dezze might be out or asleep, they decided not to disturb her and to leave. However, just as they were about to depart, smoke began emanating from the gap beneath the door.
"Mark, what is this?" Ricky, who had already bent his waist, started looking inside from the corner of the door.
"Something is wrong. Ricky get up we have to break this door."
Ricky quickly gets up. After several unsuccessful tries, the door finally cracked under the pressure and broke open. Both of them started walking inside with handkerchiefs in their mouths. Things were scattered all around, Dezze was seen lying on the ground in the distance.The fire warning alarm on the top was broken. Ricky looked at it carefully. He found out after looking at it carefully who had broken it intentionally. Without wasting any time, Mark picks Dezze up in his arms and immediately leaves from there.
In dream ,
"What will you do if people demand you separate from me? What will you do if people compare the relationship between two girls as a fictional characters?what will you do?Every relationship can have name but what can be the name of your and my relationship?There is a huge difference between A love story between two girls written in the books and the love story between two girls happening in real life. What will you declare to everyone? I had already betrayed you. I got married to someone else.According to that, do I deserve you? I think no. No I don't deserve you."
Dezze recognized the voice in the blurred image, the distance at which she was standing and asking the question. It was becoming increasingly difficult for Dezze to reach there. Every time she pulled the large two-pearl chain tied to her legs, the chain became larger and stronger. at the end she gets very tired, but the desire to reach there does not stop.
Dezze's laughter erupted, unbridled and joyful, carrying a hint of wild freedom. This was an intoxication of the soul, where she was fully immersed yet untethered.
She answers the shadow who was standing a little distance away from her.
"When it comes to separation, it should be between you and me but not from others. As far as our relationship is concerned, the relationship between you and me was never fictional and that which is not fictional, has an existence and a name too. I don't think it's necessary to prove the relationship between the two girls to anyone else. Now that you have talked about the right thing, let me tell you one thing, in this world there is no such right thing that has been done in the right way and has got full marks."
Silence descends all around the room. Dezze keeps hoping that she will hear some questions again but she does not hear any questions this time. Time keeps moving forward and silence grows deeper.Dezze tries to find a clue of shadow's real existence. It was not possible for her to find out whether that shadow was happy, crying or laughing because that room had two sides. One side was of light and the other side was of darkness but that shadow was already standing in the darkness.When there is no response, Dezze calls again, but this time she calls Jesse's name.still the silence there. But the strength of Dezze's voice was most evident this time but the room gets desolate!
Dezze frantically screamed Jesse's name repeatedly, then suddenly sprang up from her bed and sat upright.
For a while, Dezze struggled to grasp her surroundings, unable to fully shake off the lingering haze of her dreams. Just then, her mother appeared beside her bed. Overwhelmed, Dezze burst into tears and clung tightly to her mother.
Her mother, Mizu, understood her daughter's distress but seemed oblivious to the depth of her emotional pain.
Even though She is Dezze's mother but Dezze's nature is such that no matter how much you ask her the reason for her silence, she does not express the reason for that silence to her mother. She feels that being Mizu's only daughter, she has the right to bear every pain. If she does not bear it, then this society will consider her weak and incapable of taking care of her. But sometimes those rules, those rights are broken when you lose a valuable person. by breaking that rule unknowingly you become weak in front of that person in front of whom you have been pretending to be strong for so many years. You do not feel ashamed at that time, rather you start blooming like a white paper flower. Mizu gently stroked Dezze's head, her soothing touch offering consolation.
One month passed,
"Dezze, aren't you going home? It's too late." Mark was standing in front of Dezze, shaking his legs. Maybe he was worried or was excited about leaving after the unstoppable work done.
" You go, I will leave after some time." Dezze doesn't stop her fingers from dancing along the keyboard. She responds to Mark in the same way, keeping her attentiveness on the computer screen.
"Are you serious? It's 12 AM and you've already drunk 5 cups of coffee." Mark, who was still carrying a bag on his shoulder, falls to the ground because he felt like he was the only person in the office who was working till so late in the night. "wow, I want to be like you," he says, clenching his fist. There was encouragement in that fist, but that encouragement lasted for a few seconds."(Exhale deeply) but not today. Bye bye ." Somehow he puts the bag on his shoulder and comes out of there.
Dezze, who is still busy with her work, picks up the coffee cup with her right hand. But the fingers of her left hand, which are still moving on the keyboard, abruptly stop when a headline appears on the screen.
NEWS
" Jocce Industries owner Ms. Jesse has been missing for a month. A 5-judge bench meeting is going to be held at head office of Jocce building. This meeting has been scheduled for tomorrow. Now it remains to be seen what decision is taken by those 5 judges?"
Dezze fists her both hands.Even after knowing that Andi has an arrest warning, even after knowing that the investigation of Jesse's missing is still going on, Dezze's blood boils when she sees those five judges taking a decision like this.her sleepy face turns into seething with anger. she kept thinking the whole night that what will she do next so that this meeting of 5 judges will stop.
Dezze's voice can be heard throughout the hall. Everyone turns their gaze to watch her. In the morning, she goes to the head office of the Jocce and starts arguing with the receptionist.
"What do you mean you won't let us in. I want to go and you can't stop us from doing it. If you ..."
Mark interrupts,
"We have a notice from the High court so please cooperate with us." Showing to receptionist. Her eyes Blinks twice and then react with few words.
"Okay let me see."
For now, she asks Mark and Dezze to wait outside for a few minutes. After a short conversation on the receptionist's phone, the meeting room door is opened for both of them.
5 judges were sitting on a round table with water bottles on the side and some files in front of everyone's. Elders must be treated with due respect Burning the matter in flames, Dezze places her warranty notice on the table.
"Pending investigation into Jocce Company owner's disappearance and arrest warrant against Mr.andi, this Court directs:
Stay of conclusive proceedings against Ms. Jesse.
Periodic review and reporting.
And.
3.If any person goes against this warrant, he/she will be punished with 5 years of imprisonment and will also have to pay a fine of 30 million.
That's it. If you all guys want to continue this meeting then it's your choice but we will do what the High Court's order."
The faces of the five judges reflected a myriad of emotions, ranging from shock to incredulity. For years, they had worked tirelessly towards this moment, but nothing could have prepared them for the sudden turmoil that now unfolded before them.
5 judges got up from their chairs in anger. Well, these are the same people who have been talking about saving the Jocce industry from sinking for many years. These are the same people who were first organized by Jesse's mother.
"What nonsense!" Someone from the middle of the five group speaks.
"Nonsense will happen only when you violate this rule Mr. Rest you guys are sensible. you guys know exactly what you guys should do."
This was not the first attempt by the five judges but it is because of the loyalty of the rest of the office staff that till date the Jocce industry instead of ending, is growing at full speed.
Both of them come out without arguing much. As soon as Mark came out, he puts a cigarette in his mouth but like every day, he forgot to bring the lighter with him.
"My bad luck and this forgetfulness will never go away." He puts the cigarette in his pocket. On the right side, standing Dezze's a deep sigh hears and turns his eyes in that direction.
anxiety, depression and serious thoughts, these three have probably become Dezze's best friends these days. Forget about smile, she even forgot to react in the meeting hall.
"You will find her, I have faith in you, trust me you will find her soon."
just a small line of Mark's but Dezze smiled slightly.indeed Sometimes a few words is enough to make someone happy.
"I don't know what to think in this situation. If I had been a little more careful at that time, then perhaps .... " (she becomes silent.)
It was clearly visible on Dezze's face how regretful she was and how much she considered herself useless and helpless.
After passing a slight smile to Mark she wents to sit in the office car.
...'Your arms' ...
"I asked Heaven, 'Where are you?' Heaven replied, 'I am where light breaks through the sky, where a river flows, and mountains surround. Birds soar and laugh in the air. Further ahead, lies a vast sky and an open field beneath.'
I stood in that very spot, yet felt unfulfilled. 'Why don't I feel at peace?' I wondered.
Heaven's gentle voice whispered, 'Perhaps you've seen these wonders with open eyes, but not with an open heart.'
'Try closing your eyes,' Heaven suggested. 'Spread your arms and feel the breeze on your skin. You'll find solace.'
I followed the advice, but instead, I felt her touch. Memories of her flooded my mind. What should I do? Who brings me more peace than Heaven itself?
The answer was clear: her arms, my sole refuge, my home. The only place I return to after traversing the world."
Jesse puts her diary under the pillow when she senses Andi approaching.
"What was you writing my love?"Andi appears in front of her.
No matter how hard she tries to hide things, Jesse can't hide anything from Andi these days. Whatever she does, Andi catches her.
Jesse immediately stands up. controls her frightened face and answers cautiously.
"Nothing at all, I'm just bored lying in bed all days."
"Really? What should I do my love? I want to take you out, but I can't. I can't lose you this time. If everything goes well, one day we will go somewhere far away from this country."
Jesse can go out if she wants, but Andi locks her in the room every day so that she can't go out. That is why she does not know anything about her surroundings. Where is she? What place is she in? Which direction is it? she doesn't know anything. she just sits in her room everyday.
If there's anything she can do in this situation is to win Andi's trust,Which isn't so easily visible to her.
Andi embraces her and Jesse is forced to continue doing this despite her reluctance.
flashback
cigarette after sex............
Dezze who is smoking a cigarette on the balcony, puts the cigarette down when she feels Jesse grabbing her waist from behind.
"It's okay you can smoke." Jesse kisses Dezze on the neck.
"You don't like cigarette smell, right? then why?"
"so we can do again (again kisses same spot of Dezze's nack.) And you smell so nice. (Sniffes Dezze's back neck.) I want this smell in my room.
Dezze, who was holding a cigarette in her middle of two fingers, turns towards Jesse after her last puff and places both her hands on Jesse's shoulders.
"You can come anytime in my room."
"Anytime??!!!"
"Yes."
"Then be careful, because I am an expert in stealing things."
"ohh, that's why I was wondering who is the one who has stolen my heart but now I get to know who is she."
"So what punishment should I get My Lord?"enthusiastically
"Um...um....ummm...ummmmm (quick kisses on Jesse's lips.) this is your punishment."
"When you say this kind of things you look more sexy.I can't help but I adore it."
" Is that so? Then I will say the same things every day so that you don't look at anyone else but look at me."
"Stupid."
Jesse whispered a gentle rebuke, "Stupid," but Dezze didn't hesitate, showering every inch of her face with tender kisses.
returns from flashback.......
After taking a last puff of her cigarette, Dezze, who was sitting in the dark, goes to the balcony. Today the moon is completely covered by clouds and all the stars are lost somewhere.
Dezze's phone suddenly lit up with a red alert, and a warning message flashed on her screen. She swiftly checked the location, tracking Jesse's GPS signal. But instead of relief, a wave of concern washed over her. Who could have triggered this alert? Only Jesse knew about the watch then who would be? is Jesse herself? Or Andi? Or someone else?
Dezze's mind raced with questions. Was Jesse okay? Had something terrible happened to her? The uncertainty gnawed at her. Normally, receiving a signal would bring reassurance, but now it filled her with dread.
Acting swiftly, Dezze alerted police and assembled a search party. Within minutes, police team out in the direction of Jesse's location, driven by a sense of urgency.
It took about 5 hours to reach there . Even though the location was in the countryside, every house was built more like a city area than a countryside. seeing lights at every corner of the road, malls, restaurants, and other shops.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow, darkness began to descend. However, guided by the car's headlights, Dezze alone pulled up in front of a building, its silhouette illuminated by the beams. By then the police had caught Andi and he was being dragged out of the building.
He had a head injury and his hands were covered in blood. His twisted grin sent a shiver down Dezze's spine. Suddenly her heartbeat could be heard. She was able to see all this inside the black car she had recently bought. She tried to breathe properly by holding her left side chest but she can't unable to do so. Her eyes were straight at Andi, the desire to kill him was clearly visible in her eyes.
Brazenly, he sits inside the car with the police. He had handcuffs on his hands but not on his smile. There was no sign of remorse or fear in his body language or eyes.
Can human cruelty know no bounds? Is it possible for someone to relentlessly pursue harm without ever growing weary? The constant struggle to protect oneself, the perpetual looking over one's shoulder – doesn't it exhaust the soul? And what of the perpetrator? Do they never tire of their malicious games?
Overcome with emotion, Dezze couldn't contain herself and burst out of the car. However, just as she stepped out, the police car's engine roared to life, and it began to pull away slowly from the scene.
Some police team members remained at the accident site, scanning the area with heightened vigilance. Dezze stood at a distance, with a sense of fear and unease. As she waited, snippets of conversation from passing women drifted towards her on the breeze.
1st women - I don't know what is happening inside the building? Suddenly the police came.
2nd women - I don't know, when I was coming back home from office, I saw a girl coming out from here.
3rd women - From where? From this building? (pointing to the building at the accident site).
2nd women - yes, The girl seemed frightened.
That means Jesse would not have gone too far, that means the ' A girl' must be Jesse, that means Dezze can find her. With this thought in mind, she sits inside the car again and starts driving forward with a U-turn. She starts looking carefully at every mall, building, shop passing by on the way.
Although Dezze is heading this case completely, she still does not want to wait for tomorrow. She does not want to waste her time for tomorrow, she wants to find Jesse today itself.
3 hours ago,
Sumi, who is Jesse's manager, suddenly gets a call in the middle of the night. She was sleeping with her legs spread out, opens her eyes slightly but there is a murmuring sound inside from her mouth.
"Why am I so incompetent and foolish?" Sumi lamented. "Why didn't I keep it silent?"
As Jesse's manager, Sumi's workload was already overwhelming But since Jesse's disappearance, her burden had intensified, with the added responsibility of handling cases for five judges.
"I didn't want to answer the call," Sumi thought, "but I had no choice."
"Hello."
"It's me, Jesse.(Sumi's eyes open widely.)
"Ms.jesse where are you? Are you okay? Where are you? I am going to pick you up right there. Give me the location first."
Jesse's first call was to Sumi, a testament to the depth of trust between them. Sumi sprang into action, snatching her car keys from the table while still in her night pajamas. She hastily locked her room door behind her with a resounding bang.
However, the tremble in Jesse's voice brought Sumi to an abrupt halt. She froze, her attention shifting to listen intently.
"Don't bring anyone with you and don't inform anyone, you have to do it till you drop me at my house. Don't call from this mobile but come straight to the location I am sending."
"Okay." Sumi pauses for some time with the whole obedient but as soon as the location is sent she doesn't take even a second to drive straight to that direction with her car.
