Stay with me

Chapter 64 - I will be with you

Sinan and Seda Karakaya went on a honeymoon trip and hard days came to Passionissa and Sapphire. Left for a while without partners, Omer and Defne were overwhelmed with work. In Passionis, there was an intensive production of footwear, while Sapphire was preparing for its first exhibition in Ankara and was making jewelry for the Baisal retail chain.

It so happened that the boundaries between the two firms were blurred. Employees of both companies went to the rescue of each other in difficult situations, and no one grumbled that this was not his job. Koray, along with the faithful Ozzy, filmed a catalog of Sapphire for the exhibition. Fortunately, for this, female models were not needed. But with light and shadow, the ingenious photographer worked masterfully, and the jewelry in the photos looked like masterpieces worthy of queens.

Laura helped Omer resolve the issues with the store and threw up a couple of ideas that turned out to be very effective. Zubeyir, although he looked depressed, worked very hard. Both Sapphire and Passionis have even forgotten when they last had software problems. Neriman meekly brought organic meals from a trendy restaurant to the large staff of the firms. At some point, she didn't care which of her acquaintances, what he thought or said. After the first shock, she started to like her job. For the first time in her life, she felt that she was useful. And it was cool. Only one thing saddened Neriman - separation from her husband and the fact that with all her efforts, Defne avoided her and refused to make friends. How many times the gorgeous Nero called her to drink coffee or go shopping, but her daughter-in-law refused each time, citing her busyness and workload. But is this the reason? Defne is her mistress and can easily push work aside. Although ... she is as much of a maniac at work as Omer, with a sad sigh recognized Neriman. The Almighty has already connected them! They probably only talk about work in the bedroom.

But here Neriman was wrong. Crossing the threshold of the house, Omer and Defne put their work aside and enjoyed each other's company. They dined in the garden under an old apple tree. Sitting in rocking chairs on the wide terrace, they watched the sunset, watched movies, and laughed a lot. It seemed to Omer that he had never laughed so much in his life as in those eight months with Defne. It seemed to her that for some unknown merits, heaven gave her a life that she did not even dream of. Because she had never seen as much love, tenderness, and care as Omer gave her. Even from her grandmother and Esra. Defne bathed in this love and enjoyed every minute.

In the mornings, Omer played sports in the courtyard, and she, without hesitation, admired him from the balcony. He was so agile, strong, swift. And when he pulled off a wet T-shirt and, casually throwing it aside, began to do exercises on the horizontal bar, Defne forgot to breathe. And for the millionth time, with a sigh, she admitted that her husband was the most handsome man in the world and she was head over heels in love with him.

One day he pulled her into the pool. He persuaded her and she reluctantly agreed. She put on a swimsuit. Holding her belly and leaning on his hand, she entered the cool water. She swam a couple of laps and felt herself in seventh heaven. The pain in her back that had been tormenting her lately subsided, and even her own body, caught in the water, no longer seemed to her heavy and cumbersome. Omer swam up to her and, holding her behind her back, said:

- Lie down and relax. Do not be afraid, I will hold you.

Defne lay down on the water and closed her eyes. And then she felt Omer's other hand cover her belly. Emine happily kicked under it. But as always. Father and daughter had an invisible bond. As soon as he touched Defne's belly and spoke, the baby answered with a cheerful knock, which endlessly delighted mommy and touched daddy. He cooed with his daughter and promised that he would love her as much as her mother. But Defne secretly hoped he was wrong. That Omer will love Emine much more than she does herself. Because it will be right. She is their child, a precious bead, more important than which there is nothing in the world. And she must be the most beloved!
