Sunset: A Hope

Sun, sea, the sand, and Shehnaaz! Perhaps, her only way to escape the downcast reality. How gravely she wanted her fortune to change. She wasn’t born with a silver spoon in her mouth. This made her envious of the rich high class society. She herself claimed sunsets to be her only way of detoxification of her mind. Her family involved her mother, father and three siblings. She dreamed of being an fashion advisor but most candidates were born with silver spoons in their mouths. Rarely do they come from middle class families. Belonging to a lower middle class family she literally burnt the candle at both ends to get the scholarship. But at the result day Demet, daughter of a highly influential person got the scholarship even though she didn’t top. Even after knowing the truth behind, Shehnaaz didn’t utter a word against Demet. Shehnaaz being upset was roaming around the corridor of the university, she heard the senior event manager saying “Owner of the university is arriving on Friday”. Shehnaaz didn’t give any attention as she was already drenched with dejection. But who knew that this Friday will come with the most amazing twists into her life perhaps will change her ethos wholly. Burak Sarsalmaz the owner of the university and a very handsome man owned more than 500 profiting companies. Shehnaaz as usual came to the university where all the students were invited to hear some from Burak. Shehnaaz sat at the last seats of the gallery. Burak started his speech in which he included that only deserving students get a scholarship from this university. This triggered Shehnaaz and she straight away stood up and threw water from a bottle on his face and stated that Burak is a lier. As she was sitting in one of the last seats Burak was unable to identify her but was pretty much disgusted with such a disrespectful act by one of the students. Shehnaaz was forced to leave the spot by her friend Asla. Demet was aww struck looking at the handsomeness of Burak. She got up and started helping Burak to clean himself. Burak being a womanizer started flirting with Demet. Burak was completely unaware about what the future had for him. He had no clue that Demet is the daughter of his father’s friend and his father only has helped her to grab the scholarship without any merit. Demet all night kept thinking about Burak and on the other side of the coin Burak was anxious to know who actually the girl was who threw water to him. The next day things started as usual. Shehnaaz came to the university and entered her class. Burak was still curious and suddenly the event manager came and said that it was her who did it pointing at Shehnaaz but Burak misunderstood it with Demet. He went near her and said “I have never in my life met a person as brave as you who in front of the whole university threw water on me and had an opinion”. Though Demet knew that it was false but she didn’t want to lose such a good impression of Burak of her. When Burak asked her the reason behind the act. She crumpled and said that she by mistake did it. Burak was not satisfied as he knew that was a willed action but he kept quiet as he can’t deny it. Days passed away suddenly one day Shehnaaz saw Burak and got triggered again. This time she went towards him and directly confronted him of being a liar. Burak immediately understood her to be the same girl who threw water towards him. Though he knew he kept quiet and just listened what Shehnaaz was speaking. He got completely lost in her. Shehnaaz after completing her word called Burak insensible. The very next day Burak knowingly entered Shehnaaz’s class and asked her to come with him. Shehnaaz though unwillingly went with him and Demet seeing this was highly jealous. Burak cleared the matter and said that he was completely unaware about the scholarship facts. Shehnaaz hearing this felt guilty and asked Burak forgiveness. Burak asked if they can be friends and Shehnaaz said yes. Demet heard this slyly and was unhappy. The next day was the final semester exams, Demet made a plan to catch Shehnaaz of false copying and she was successful too. Shehnaaz being disqualified went to see the sunset to release her grief. Burak when heard about this went after Shehnaaz. Though Shehnaaz didn’t want to meet anyone she didn’t deny Burak. Burak came near her, put a arm around her neck and calmly said “Look at the sunset, it symbolises that after every darkness there sunset be a sunrise too. Trust on what destiny has for you. You changed me. The moment I saw you I forgot all my past affairs. You made me a good human being. If Burak can turn good then things will change your fortune will change.” Shehnaaz calmed down and Burak then said it wasn’t her fault, he has already seen the CCTV footage and Demet is the cheater. Then Shehnaaz went back to university and she gave the exams and topped and got the scholarship too. Burak held her arm and took her near the sea and in front of the Sunset said her to marry him. Shehnaaz had already fallen in love with him and said yes. Burak and Shehnaaz’s family arranged the marriage and surprisingly it was a beautiful sunset Beach marriage. Burak's father was unhappy as he wanted Demet to be his daughter-in-law but after seeing Shehnaaz and knowing about Demet's actions he accepted the marriage. Demet's father came and kidnapped Shehnaaz. Burak chased the kidnappers whereas Burak's father called the police. Thankfully Demet's father was prisoned and Shehnaaz ran to hug Burak. Quite soon Shehnaaz and Burak got married and Shehnaaz’s family’s fortune changed. So, Sunsets are a hope of a better future. Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn.
