Esaret- Story Till Now
Esaret is a story about two people from vastly opposing backgrounds- Orhun Demirhanli, a man of privilege and pride who is the heir of a family having roots in royalty and accumulated wealth over generations, and Hira, an unfortunate child who gets caught by a human trafficking gang and is enslaved for a good part of her life, never tasting the joy of freedom.
Orhun lives in a polished but dysfunctional family, especially his mother- Afife is a cold, selfish woman who is pretentious and likes to put on airs. Orhun has a twin sister, Nihan, and a younger sister, Nurşah. Orhun is honest and straightforward, a very strong and smart businessman but also very ruthless to his enemies.
Nihan is a doctor, and she visits Africa for a medical camp as part of her job, but when she disappears, and Orhun is unable to contact her, he flies over to Africa to look for her. Orhun stumbles across Hira, who is a slave and learns about Nihan being poisoned by an African gang, with Hira somehow being involved in the conspiracy. In anger and for revenge, he kills the entire gang and takes Hira home with him to enslave her in another harsher prison.
When Orhun is still grieving for his sister’s loss, his mother reveals a shocking truth about his father’s demise and how she lied to her children all this time. Unable to handle so many emotional attacks, Orhun’s mental state falls and he takes the rash decision to marry Hira to spite his mother, who is a devout believer in ‘pureblood’ and would never accept a lowly slave as her daughter-in-law.
Throughout this, Hira has been strong and truthful, silently bearing all the injustices done to her, and Orhun feels sorry for her. Unknowingly he begins to develop feelings for the young woman, falling in love with her.
When Hira finds her aunt Saadet, she takes her to leave Orhun, who terribly misses her, the loss of Hira making him realize his feelings for her. On the other hand, the people who wanted Orhun and Hira to separate rejoice.
Hira is stunned when she learns about her aunt’s true vicious nature and about her evil deeds. When she returns to meet Orhun, she hears his confession for her in his conversation with Eda, startling her and making her a nervous wreck. An old friend from Africa- Musa, arrives to meet the couple.
