The life of Esengul, Part II

The life of Esengul, Part II

Now, here is the much requested, and anticipated part II of 'Esengul's' life.  
        A poster from the streets of Istanbul 

In part I, I wrote up-until the night of March 30'th, of 1979, you can find the link below:

now, here is the conclusion. 

I will begin part II by writing about the in-famous night that I like to refer to as the 'start' of Esengul's last 20 days, prior to the car crash.  

        Scene from her single movie

It was approximately 11:00 PM on March 30, 1979, and she was performing at 'Semiramis Gazinosu', which translates to English to mean, 'Semiramis Bar'.  A man with connections to the Mafia named Ismail Hacısuleymanoglu, who went by the name "Oflu İsmail", which translates to English to mean "Hurting Ismail" was seating at a table drinking.   While 'Esengul' was performing a song, 'Oflu Ismail' stands up and yells to the singer to say 'Taht Kurmussun Kalbime parcasini bana oku!', again, a translation is required, he yells out to say "Sing me the song 'your on the throne of my heart'". 

I have attached a link of this song below, please take time to listen to this heartbreaking, emotional masterpiece of a song from late 1970's.

        Number 1 singer from the mid 1970s

Esengul, stops singing and the band stopped playing as well since an argument irrupted at the corner of 'Semiramis Bar'.   We are then shocked to learn that the owner of the Bar 'Akbulut Karaoglu' and lead waiter 'Hasan Yolal' are shot and killed, while numerous people are injured.   

'Esengul' is able to get away unharmed.  

'Oflu Ismail' also gets away.   

Now, begins the count down to April 18, 1979.  

All of the events in 'Esengul's' life are unfortunately coming to a crashing end.  

Number 1, the Mafia connected rival boyfriends are trying to win her love, 
Number 2, 'Oflu Ismail' is no-where to be found, and wants vengeance for her since she did not sing the song, he requested, and caused the fight/killings,
Number 3, the 'Police' is questioning her of the shooting, and finally,
Number 4, the Mafia bosses are getting nervous that 'Esengul'' might speak to the Police about them regarding other criminal events that she surely would have witnessed as a lover.   
         Beutiful 
April 18, 1979, 'Esengul' and her current lover 'Faruk Ozfıratlı' were driving in his car to drop her off at her residence, when the car could not 'break/stop' and hit a wall at very high speed.   We soon learn that the vehicles 'break cables' were cut, and therefore it could not negotiate a turn in the road, and the shocking crash was the result.  

'Esengul' died at the very young age of 24.  

No person was arrested and charged for her death.  

On April 18, 2014, it will be the 35 year anniversary of her untimely death.  

Rest in Peace. Esen (Esengul) Agan. 

Sincerely,

Ben
