Hayat had fled Istanbul when her grandfather, Hasmat dada decided to take her back to her village and marry her off. Murat, the love of her life did not want anything to do with her. Years pass, she is a self-made renowned designer. What happens whe...
Tuval texted me to postpone the trial to evening 16:00 today. Some issues had come up in the company. I was okay. I had the entire day free. I had called the buyer to see how many days more the paperwork required. I was buying Murat's house. I had told Tuval to tell Murat "Ms. Tapeli" was interested in buying it and start the paperwork. I heard the doorbell "Who could it be at this time? I am not expecting anyone" I opened the door only to find Asli. She looked baffled.
"Asli what happened? Are you okay? Come on in." I offered her coffee but she said, "Hayat I am under a lot of stress. I can't think anything. I need help" She sounded desperate. "Okay. I am here. Tell me what happened." I reassured her. "Hayat you do know that Doruk has proposed me formally. So we decided to take the next step in our relationship. We couldn't control ourselves. So we've slept with each other...multiple times." I nodded for her to continue. "See we have used protection every time but last time we were a little tipsy. So I guess we didn't. And I missed my period. So I want to take a test. But I'm scared." She said. "That's it? Asli, it's okay. We are adults now. You don't have to worry! Did you get a pregnancy test?" She nodded negatively so I continued, "Okay. Let me get dressed. We will get you two just to be sure!" I said. I dressed up and we went out.
"Hayat, I'm very nervous. Do you mind going in alone?" Asli asked nervously. "Sure! Stay here. I will be back." I walked in to the store. Found the test and went to check out. The cashier checked me out and said, "Pregnancy test huh?" "Yes" I said with a slightly disgusting tone. "Can I have your number? Just in case if it doesn't work out with your partner." He asked shamelessly. "Oh. Don't worry. Me and my boyfriend are very much in love. But if you insist, I must give you his number. He will be more than happy to talk to you." I replied. I guess that did it. He gave me the bill, I paid it and checked out. I did not tell this incident to Asli. We went home.
"What are you waiting for? Go take the test!" I pushed Asli with both the tests into the bathroom. She opened the door. Both the tests were on the counter. "I can't look at it. Please have a look. What does it say?" she asked. I nodded and looked at it. And squealed with happiness and engulfed her in a hug. "I am going to be an aunt! Asli! Congratulations!!" However instead of happiness she just started crying. "Hey, what happened. Don't you want this? Talk to me Asli." I dragged her out of the bathroom and made her sit on my bed. "No Hayat. I want this baby but.." "But what?" I asked "But.. Doruk..." and she cried more. "What about Doruk? Should I talk to him?" I asked "No. The other day I went to Sarte to surprise him. There I saw his ex girlfriend Giçik. Giçik and Doruk were kissing." She admitted. The pregnancy news had made me see Doruk in a good light but when Asli spilled all the beans, I saw red. This guy has disrupted my life and is in the process of disrupting Asli's as well. "He claims to love you doesn't he?" I questioned. "He does. At least I thought so. But not more than his mom. I caught him in the act. He tried to explain everything to me but the moment I said that Giçik was here because of his mom, he lost it. He agreed his mom didn't like us as a couple but he didn't want me to drag his mom in every conversation. Later that night drunk himself to oblivion and came to my house to apologize. Aunt Faride and Aunt Emine were there. They didn't take him in, so he went to Giçik's house. He spent the night there. And I know Giçik wants him back... What am I supposed to do now Hayat?" she sobbed. "Asli. Today we are going to Sarte for Ipek, there we both will talk to him okay?" "Okay??" I asked again. She nodded. Ughh Doruk. Why are you such an A** I will deal with you now in my way.

Kerem POV:
Monday morning:
Murat came over last night. He got drunk and spilled the news of Derya asking him to transfer the company to Doruk. And that he agreed to it. When I asked him what will he do now, he said that he will work like a salaried man under Doruk. That was the moment when I told him and made him agree to the fact that I will work under Doruk as long as Murat. Murat leaves the company, I do to. Period.
I woke him up the next morning. Gave him my pair of clothes and we drove to office. There we were greeted with a sight of protesting workers and a helpless Derya trying to calm them down and get them inside the building. Murat got down and stopped. And asked them to work for Doruk. Initially they denied but then they agreed for him. Just for him. This was his influence over the people. Everyone headed inside. Just as we were about to enter Derya stopped us. "Where do you think you are going Murat?" She asked. "Inside. I am no longer the boss. But I don't mind working under Doruk." Murat said. "Oh you sure don't but you can't" She smirked seeing the confusion on our faces. "Yesterday, while signing away the rights, you also agreed that you won't step a foot in Sarte. You were so lost in your grief, you did not even read the papers properly!" She smiled victoriously. Such a devil she is. "Well, if he can't work here, I won't work here too." I said. "Okay. As you wish Kerem. Come inside and resign." I tossed the car keys to Murat and was headed in when Derya stooped even lower saying "That car belongs to the company Murat. You bought it with your own money but it's in the company's name. So I want the keys." Murat and I were shocked. Just when she thought, she couldn't be any more worse, she said, "Oh and since I know you weren't in your right senses when you signed the papers let me tell you, you can't live in Sarsilmaz Mansion. It says you transfer the house to the legitimate son of Mr. Nejat Sarsilmaz. Which happens to be Doruk. I wanted to kick you out yesterday but couldn't because you did not come over. Now go and pack your bags and leave." Murat was too mum to speak anything. He literally lost everything. His parents, his company, his house, his cars. Everything. Murat came and asked me, "I've never travelled by bus. When and where can I get one? Also how long will it take for me to reach Sarsilmaz Mansion?" he asked lifelessly. "Do you trust me?" I asked. "What kind of question is this? Of course I do Kerem" he answered. "Then wait here. I know someone who will help you. No arguments!" He agreed.
