Chapter-16

Two days later...On the wedding
evening

SANEM

"Sanem, do you hear me?"

"Yes, Lei." I turn my eyes from the happy faces over the wedding alter towards my sister who is whispering sitting on a chair beside mine.

Narrowing her wide blue eyes she proceeds, "I think something is cooking between two of you guys."

Shrugging I ask with utter confusion, while Osman and Deren start to taking their oath, "I don't get you, sister. What do you mean?"

Procuring a nasty smile she interrogates, "First tell me where is Onur? Why hasn't he yet attended the function?"

"He has something important to deal with Mr Fabri, as you know, Onur is taking care of the debt issues that we borrowed from Mr Fabri for establishing our company and he called him late this evening. After that gets sorted he will surely join. But wait, what is the matter that you are suspecting about me, Lei?"

"It's nothing important, Sanem, but I think since the very start of this event someone's eyes are checking you all over, so it's better as soon as your boyfriend arrives here." She completes with no trace of concern but much humour.

"Leila! Are you insane?" I didn't expect her to register it because the eyes about which she is indicating own to Him who had chocked my voice a few days back with his words, his mouth and probably with his everything (whatever you can imagine in this context); but somehow she has doubt and now it is embarrassing me throughout that she knows which she should not. 

"Wow! Sanem! You are blushing terrifically!" She pokes my thigh which is slightly bare for the slit skirt that I have worn today.

"Lei!" I slap her hand and before I could scorn her furthermore a burst of clap follow next as the bride and groom share a kiss after exchanging their rings.

"You did it, no?"

"What?"

Getting up from the seat we step forward together to congratulate the couple when Leila says it again, "I know you did it."

"What?" I repeat, letting pass the people who are waiting to complement the newlywed pair.

Then taking the advantage of the space she murmurs again, "do you think I am an idiot, sister? Have you forgot I am older than you?"

"Lei, would you stop puzzling me?"

Shaking her head she replies,

"You won't stop surprising me, right?" I give her a death stare which seems to have put some reason in her sense, "Well, well. Let me explain then." Keeping her voice in a hushed mode she starts, "I think...actually not only me but also Emre who put the idea first in my head that Mr Can and you are growing some secret affairs at our back."

"Wh...what?" Fumbling I give her the most stupid kinda laugh that I ever could have. "How silly both of you are, Lei? He seems to be an intelligent person. But how childish of him to think such crazy stuff that has no base at all."

"Really?" She begins assessing me with a scrutinizing glance and I croak out nervously, "Of course, you guys are dream a lot these days. I see." Waving my hand I try to dismiss her completely when a voice interrupts, "Hello, gorgeous ladies!" Before I could turn back I can guess the source of such a mellowing tone which warms up my heart while the same voice and the appearance indeed brings a lovely shade to the cheeks of my dear sister's.

"Oh, hi! You are looking quite handsome too, Mr Emre" Turning back I stretch my hand and he joins it by saying,

"Not more than you are, Ms Sanem." He speaking heartily.
