Like a fairytale

Chapter thirteen

"So... I have to tell you something..." Haziran says and sits on his lap after placing their coffees on the table. They are in his back yard, alone because Aliye and Ada are away for shopping.

"That doesn't sound good." He responds and hugs her waist with his hand.

"Well... I have to leave." She says quickly and the hand that's been moving up and down her body freezes midway.

"Leave as in..." Poyraz tries to sound cool but he's freaking out inside.

"Yeah," her fingers play with his "you see, when I came here I planned to stay for a month. And then more months got added. And now..." she says delaying revealing the reason of her departure on purpose.

"For the love of god woman, spill it!" He says and she laughs.

"Ok, ok. I have to go back to the city for a couple of days. Get some things that I need, meet a client that doesn't know what vacations mean and then I'll be back." she says trying to hold the hysterical laugh that's growing inside her. But the more she looks his red face the more difficult it gets.

"We are back." They hear Aliye say and Haziran stands up from his lap a few seconds before Ada runs to them.

"Welcome back princess." Poyraz says when his daughter sits on the same place Haziran was sitting.

"Did you sit under the sun for too long again?" Aliye asks seeing his face.

"No, why?" He responds confused.

"Daddy are you sure? Cause you are...?" Ada says trying to find the right words to describe his status.

"As red as a mature tomato?" Haziran suggests and Ada concurs enthusiastically as Poyraz growls.

"So when are you leaving?" Aliye asks when they have lunch. The older woman insisted on her staying and Haziran couldn't deny.

"In a couple of days. I'll go and book my ticket later." Haziran says.

Ada hasn't said a word since she announced it. Poyraz tried to fix her mood but she was having none of it. After what Haziran said she stood up and went inside the house.

"Don't worry about it. She'll be ok." Aliye says.

"It's just so confusing." Haziran admits.

"Nothing is too confusing when you choose to see it as an outsider. And from where I'm standing nothing sounds confusing." Aliye says and winks at Poyraz. He's about to speak when they hear Ada panting.

They turn their heads only to find the kid with a luggage double her size next to her.
