Aşk Ve Mutluluk (Love And Happiness) (Tolga & Ozge)

Chapter Five: All I See Is You

"Principal Cihangir, what do you mean I didn't get it?"

Ozge asked as she sat across Principal Cihangir of Birgul University at the Principal's Office. The office was mostly, surrounded by books, with trophies from Principal Cihangir's youth also displayed on top of the shelves.

"Ozge, so many students applied for the scholarship, there's no more slots left," Principal Cihangir said.

"But, that can't be! I made sure to apply for it early so I wouldn't run out of slots!" Ozge exclaimed, her forehead creased with worry.

"I'm so sorry, Ozge. Really I am," Principal Cihangir said.

"Thanks, Principal Cihangir," Ozge said, then she got up. "See you."

"Enjoy your summer break, Ozge. See you," he said, then Ozge left the office.

Sidika and Yaren noticed her sullen expression and walked up to meet her.

"Ozge, what is it? Is there something wrong?" Sidika asked.

"I didn't get the scholarship," Ozge frowned. "I don't get it. I was sure I passed it earlier than everyone else."

"What about your mom, Aunt Malvina? Maybe she can shoulder your tuition fees for next semester?" Sidika said.

"No, she can't," Ozge said, softly. "Mom is already juggling two jobs at once, at our tailor shop and is a cook on the small cafe on weekends. Money is tight right now too."

"Ozge, maybe I can ask my dad to shoulder your tuition fee for next semester. I really don't mind---"

"No, no, Yaren," Ozge said, cutting Yaren off. "I can't ask that much from you. I'll-I'll find a way."

Tolga arrived at Birgul University with his gold Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster. He got out of the car and took his shades off as he was greeted by the Principal Cihangir, who is also the owner of Birgul University.

"Tolga, nice to see you again," Principal Cihangir said, hugging his nephew.

"Uncle Cihangir, nice to see you too," Tolga grinned.

"What are you doing here?" Cihangir asked.

"Didn't you know, Uncle? Mendi Group is handing out scholarship grants this year. I'm here to hold a short conference for it," Tolga said. "Didn't Grandma tell you?"

"No, she didn't," Cihangir said, then he chuckled. "Ah, my mother-in-law always does things without even telling me. Well then, Tolga, good luck. I'll see you after the conference?"

"Alright, Uncle," Tolga said.

"Oh, and happy birthday, Tolga," Cihangir smiled.

"Thank you, Uncle," Tolga said.

Cihangir turned and leave, and just as he did, a swarm of news reporters came running to Tolga.

"Mr. Tolga, why did you faint last night?" one woman said.

"Mr. Tolga, who was the girl beside you last night when you fainted? Is it your new girlfriend?" one man asked.

Tolga put on his sunglasses and went inside the school, ignoring the paparazzi.

Umit, Damla, and Esena arrived at Birgul University, minutes later. Esena was scrolling through her phone, when she found the news about Tolga and the new girl last night.

"Ah, ah," Esena grinned. "News about Tolga and that girl last night are surfacing. Everyone thinks they're together."

"What?! Give me that," Damla said, taking Esena's phone. "That girl..."
