It happened suddenly!

Chapter 5: Fright

Cavidan and Emir kept on staring at each other puzzled when out of no where Cemre came running to them.

Cemre: (huffingly) That's not the original one. It's the copy of same necklace Emir!

Cavidan and Emir frowned and turned their head towards Cemre who was smiling sheepishly.

"What?? Were you flaunting a duplicate necklace?"

Asked a woman out of curiosity who just returned to fetch her bag which she forgot in the living room. Cemre was tongue tied now while Cavidan angrily stared at her.

Cemre: (correcting herself) No, I mean, the original one is too delicate and most importantly its Tarhun's legacy. That's why Aunty wears it's copy so that she can preserve the old one.

Lady: (sarcastically) Oh, I see!

Saying so, she excused herself, not before giving Cavidan a pathetic look. She went into the living room to get her bag and left. Emir, who was listening to Cemre for quite sometimes, sighed and left while Cavidan held Cemre's left arm tightly.

Cavidan: (Gritting her teeth) What was that? Why did you lie to that lady and Emir? Why did you ruin my reputation? You know, now that lady will gossip around that I wore a duplicate necklace during a get together! (Holding her necklace) And what did you say, is this a copy? Are you gone mad?

Cemre faked tears and said.

Cemre: (Cryingly) I was just trying to save you.

Cavidan: (almost instantly while rolling her eyes) o really?! From whom?

Cemre: (slowly) From Emir.

Cavidan confusingly stared at her while Cemre narrated her the whole story. As the narration ended, Cavidan had her head held by both of her hands while she sat down on the ground in shock.
She went kind of numb that's why she was not able to answer Cemre. While Cemre was trying hard to make her understand and was trying hard to convince her for her plan.

Migraine hit Cavidan badly, she got up and shoved Cemre's hand off her shoulder. She rushed towards her room not before giving her a deadly stare. Cemre slowly tiptoed towards her room and closed the door once she got inside.

Emir was sitting on the edge of his bed with his both palms joined. He had kept his head on his palms while thinking deeply about today's incidents.

His mind was somewhat convinced that Reyhan really done that all but his heart was not ready to believe at all.

"The banker confirmed that she has withdrawn the money from there."

His mind said.

"I don't believe him!"

His heart said.

"But why? Why are you still believing her, when she already ditched you in the past. Not once but twice!"

His mind retorted.

"Leaving someone and extorting money are two different things. She left me but took nothing with her. Not even the jewelries which she got as a wedding gifts! She left from here empty handed and this proves that she is innocent!"
