Same, same but different!

Part 1

"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end"

The scent of freshly brewed coffee mingled in the air, a familiar symphony for Kıvılcım. Even though she has only had a few hours of sleep every day for the past week, she's always the one to wake up before the sun is out. Being the owner of Veritas Gallery is a job that has been keeping Kıvılcım busy all day long and she barely has time to slow down. So to keep her from going crazy, she would wake up before the world does, have a nice hot coffee and just read a book. Her lifestyle was simple: being a mother first, work most of the time, sleep and eat when necessary. Although, Kıvılcım is always forced by either Fatma (her best friend) or Alev (her sister) to go out and have dinner or drink outside.

Kıvılcım (shouting): Metehan you're going to be late if you don't-

Metehan has just graduated and will be starting his new job today.

Metehan (smiling): But I'm already up my queen. Good morning anne.

He wraps his arms around his mother and squeezes her very hard. She taps his arms

Kıvılcım (laughing): I can't breathe son. Good morning.

Metehan leaves her laughing and sits down at the table. They start having breakfast.

Kıvılcım: Are you ready for your first day.

Metehan: I feel ready. I'm really surprised that I got a job at the Ünal Holding. It's hard to get a job there. Some people wait for years.

Kıvılcım: Why are you surprised? You worked very hard to get where you are today. It's not like you don't deserve it.

The conversation at the table flowed smoothly. After breakfast, Kıvılcım got ready. When she finished, Kıvılcım and Metehan left the house with separate cars both on their way to their jobs.

Veritas Gallery:

The gallery was where Kıvılcım found peace. When she's working it made her feel like she was thriving. It's where Kıvılcım found security. Everyone who worked for her, had the most respect for her. They adored her work etiquette and always try to live up to her standards. Everyday when Kıvılcım entered the gallery, her young assistant Esma would wait for her at the entrance with a coffee in her hand and her notebook that held all the activities of the day.

Esma: Good morning Kıvılcım hanım.

Esma hands her the coffee and takes Kıvılcım's coat.

Kıvılcım: Good morning Esma. What do we have on our agenda today.

Esma: I put a few documents on your desk that needs to be signed. We have to finish the list of orders with Fatma hanım. You have a meeting with the new artist at eleven. You ask me to arrange a meeting with all the staff to talk about bringing local artists into the gallery. I arranged it and it will be at three this afternoon.

Kıvılcım: Thank you Esma. Can you bring me the file that contains all the information of our previous sold paintings. (Esma nods her head) Is Fatma here yet?

Esma: Yes, she's in her office.

Kıvılcım: okay, thank you Esma.

Kıvılcım immediately starts working. She starts reading through the documents that Esma has put on her table. While signing it, there's a knock on the door.

Kıvılcım: Come in.

Fatma walks in.

Fatma: Canım.

Kıvılcım: Ah Fatma. I was about to come to you to ask how your meeting with Alas bey went last night?

Fatma sits in the chair opposite Kıvılcım.
