Mending The Hearts

'When it was not something usual...'

Next Day....

"Merhaba... Irem." Eda walked out of the store, as she called Irem, Irem Kaya, single mother to a child just like Eda, but with an optimistic and jolly vision for the life, probably because she choosed this life of a single mother on her own, while Eda was forced in it.

"Please do me a favour, will you pick Ceylin with Melissa from their trip, I have some works to deal with." Eda spoke, as she arranged her papers after sitting in car.

"No.. no.. nothing like that. I am resigning, but I will clear out some incomplete accounts, it's urgent."

"Okay... Thank you! Also... come over to me tonight... Yeah.. Bye!" Eda cut the call and drove away.

Altan sat by the empty bench, as he saw the surrounding, somehow it was calming. The much needed thing for the moment. His eyes went on the trail of little children on the other side of bushes, behind a woman, appeared to be their teacher. It was unusual for him to see school children there, as he often visited the park. The place was more lively today.

He jerked all the thoughts, and took his phone out, dialing the number.

"Irwin..." Altan said, as Irwin picked the call. "...cancel my orders for 2 P.M. I will manage them tomorrow, also tell Leyla to submit the files in the Laptop..." He cut the call not listening further.

Altan put his hands on his face, and sighed. Apparently he had no complains with his life whatsoever, but sometimes he felt deeply the missing spot of love in his life. Altan's past relationship experiences made him paranoid in many ways, but he knew very well the agression issues he had. His heart wanted to control it, but his mind did no real efforts. And at last, he had nothing but guilt and upset for his blunt actions.

And that's what was eating him up from inside right now.

His head was down, with the support of his hand kept on knees. He sensed some people passing by him, but just didn't looked up. But his eyes had a view of a flower. A little beautiful flower by a small hand. Altan looked up to see a small girl holding it, more like offering him.

The sight of the girl confused him, as to what to do. He always had immense affection for children, but he never had experience with him, or didn't knew how to deal with them. But the adorable sight of her melted his heart for once.

"Don't you like flowers Mr. handsome stranger?" Her words snapped Altan out of his thoughts. He stammeringly saw her. The girl just addressed him a 'handsome' He didn't knew either to laugh or feel shocked.

"Uh.. no... I... No, I do like them." He hesitantly answered. But the girl had fine smile on her face.

"Then why you are not taking it." She answered, it left Altan a little surprised. Usually children are the one to be hesitant from stangers, but it was opposite here.

"Nothing like that!" Altan said, as he took the flower from her hands, and gave her a warm smile.

"But you know, it's not good to pluck flowers little girl." Altan tried to be polite as much possible. He saw the students admiring different flowers around the circle.

Ceylin folded her hands, tilting her head to the right, giving a sarcastic look to Altan. "Then stick it back with the glue Mr."

Altan immediately giggled. The girl got good wits indeed. The way her little figure gave a cute impression, he admired her way too much.

"Here I tried to make your mood good, and you started to give me lesson. Not good Mr. Handsome Stranger." Altan laughed again. No wonder why children are always his favourite.

"Oh My! Okay! I am sorry, and thank you for this flower Miss. Beautiful stranger. I appreciate it so much." Altan playfully told her, while Ceylin's face had a smile on her face, which he liked the most. Her smile was contagious, wanting him to smile as well. He forgot he was sad almost some minutes ago.

"Your welcome. Now don't be sad. My Anne says to not be sad, and to do things which makes us happy." Ceylin said smiling, and Altan's face was constant with smile too.

"Oh wow. Your Anne taught you very good thing. And thank you for making me happy. You are so cute, can I give you a kiss on your forehead?" Altan sweetly asked, when Ceylin sat besides her.

Ceylin looked up for a second, thinking something, and looked at Altan, nodding her head in yes. She formed the smile on her face again.

"Ceylin..." They both got distracted by the voice. It was Ceylin's teacher coming towards them. Ceylin stood seeing them.

"What are you doing here, come with us Ceylin. Didn't we told you to not talk with strangers, baby?" The teacher grapped Ceylin's hand, and shot a wierd look to Altan. She went away from there. Ofcourse, strangers are always bad in the diary.

Ceylin looked back at Altan and waved her hand at him. He too waved him back. Some minutes of her company made him feel the most delight. He felt like she left her smile with him. Altan saw the figure of daughter in Ceylin he always wanted. That child he always dreamt to hold in his hand.

The two-room house was filled with most papers, as Orhan was occupied on call. He was glaring Sofia hard, as all she did was threw the papers here and there. After a minute, Orhan cut the call.

"What the hell is all this?" Sofia grumped, as she dropped herself on the side-chair. Orhan rolled his eyes at her, her tantrums was something no one will ever wish for.

"I wanted to play, so I scattered all this for fun." He sarcastically replied, to which Sofia huffed. It was normal for him to not answer her straightforward, neither her were questions.

"You... Leave it! Why didn't you told me you were rejected for this job too, Orhan?" Sofia asked as she stood again.

"I forgot girl!" He lazily said, while scrolling on phone. Sofia grinded her teeths at him.

"Just like you forgot to tell me that the lavish house you lived in for two years with your Ex-wife Eda, was her small favour on you." Orhan stopped and saw her dangerously. "Isn't it Orhan?" Sofia shoot an angry smile.

"Where this came in between now Sofia?" He threw his phone on couch, and walked a step towards her.

"The Truth you hid from me!" She sighed dramatically looking away. Orhan clenched his fist at her. The woman taunted him like she was a saint all these years, while just like him, all she did was cheating on someone else. Just like him.

"You are talking as if I kept you in the dark. I am supposing you forgot what all that was, and what all YOU too did." Orhan too shooted the taunt making her look at him, while he emphasized on 'YOU' wanting to belittle her. Just like she did.

"Yes, I know what I did man. And I am way too open with it. I am proud too, I do accept too. It's you who gets angry like a little child. Get away now." Pushing Orhan a little, she went away from that room.

Orhan's girlfriend was too outspoken, and with a lot of confidence, even more than that. That's why she never listened to anyone or anything thrown at him. Sometimes it irritated Orhan way too much, but he tolerated it all, just for their love.

More precisely, for the thing they were together for!
