It happened suddenly!

Chapter 11: Bombshell

The first ray of sun fell on Reyhan and she opened her eyes slowly.

As she opened her eyes, she saw the most beautiful site ever! Emir was standing there with a tray of coffee, wearing his rare signature smile! Reyhan couldn't help but blush on seeing him smiling mischievously. Emir slowly put the tray on the side table and neared Reyhan, taking one step at a time, in slow pace. Very slow pace to be precise! Reyhan's breath hitched and she down casted her eyes immediately. Emir's smile widened and he sat down beside her. By now her eyes were close. She was biting her lower lip in anticipation.

"Why is she biting her lips?"

"Is she afraid of me?"

Thought Emir.

"But the redness of her cheek is telling a different story."

"Is she anticipating something?"

"Is she blushing?"

He frowned a little while thinking.

"I guess so!"

"I didn't knew this wild kitten knows how to blush!!"

"Interesting!"

"If she is anticipating for... for a kiss..., then... I won't disappoint her."

Thinking so, he was about to lean towards her when he felt her fingers sliding on his chest, making their way to his nape.

"My wild kitten is in action now!"

He smirked and inched towards her more. Their lips were just a millimetre apart when someone called Emir loudly.

Reyhan and Emir almost jumped at their respective places and turned their head towards that someone. Reyhan immediately got up and straightened herself on seeing a furious Cavidan standing in front of her. The rage in Cavidan's eyes somewhat sent chills down to her spine. She gasped a little to breath in fear. Meanwhile, a puzzled  Emir saw his mother with a frown. He too stood up beside Reyhan and asked.

Emir: (puzzled) Mom, you seems tensed. Are you alright? Is everything fine with baba?

Cavidan: (angrily) Yes! Everything is fine except this girl, my son.

Emir: (almost instantly) What?

Cavidan: (Gritting her teeth, eyeing Reyhan) This girl is nothing but shame on this family! Ever since she stepped in this house only misfortune followed her. She didn't left any stone unturned to tarnish Tarhun's image in the society. (Turning to Emir) And my son, you, you are such a fool that you follows her like a lost puppy! (To herself) God knows what magic she did on him.

Reyhan didn't reacted much as these taunts were quite common for her, like her daily routine! But Emir was hearing them for the first time that too from his mother! He quickly glanced over Reyhan before questioning his mother. Her emotionless face confused him a little.

Emir: (defending Reyhan) Mom, what are you saying? There is no fault of her in any of the mishaps occured here. So please, stop blaming her..

Cavidan: (Sarcastically) I knew it! You will definitely defend her. But how will you react on this?

Saying so, she extended a newspaper towards him and a utterly puzzled Emir took it from her and started to read it. The content of the newspaper was enough to move ground under his feet. He turned towards Reyhan in complete shock while Reyhan tried to see the content through the corner of her eyes but failed.

Emir's knuckles tightened and he angrily threw newspaper on her face and shouted on top of his voice.

Emir: WHAT IS THIS???

A fearful Reyhan immediately picked the papers from floor and tried to see what Emir was saying. It didn't took her long to locate her picture on the front page with a guy! That too in compromised state!

Reyhan froze at her place while her eyes remained glued to the picture. Her face went white as if someone sucked all her blood. She didn't moved nor she raised her eyes to meet Emir's. Cavidan was saying something to her but she even failed to hear it. It felt like all her systems got paused.

Cavidan: (sarcastically) Yeah, yeah! Stare it as much you want. Afterall you are published on the front page with your lover. It's a big deal for you, isn't it?

Cavidan's statement finally reached her ears and she averted her eyes to see her. She noticed a small smirk on her face. She unconsciously started to walk towards her with the newspaper. But before she could go to her, Emir grabbed her arms and spun her forcefully. She collided hard on his chest while her eyes went wide in shock.

Shocked, because she never saw that much anger in his eyes before. Because she never saw him raged before. Because he never manhandled her before.

He was raged! He was so raged that his eyes changed its color to red, blood red to be precise!

Reyhan's palms unconsciously grabbed his shirt for support but he instantly detached it from his shirt, socking Reyhan once again. 

Emir: (angrily, coming closer to her face) Answer me damn it! What's all this? Who is this guy? And why he gave this statement that you guys are in relationship from past 2 years? Answer me!!

Reyhan flinched in horror. She was not in state to answer him because she herself didn't knew anything about it. Emir waited, waited and waited for her answer but she kept mum. Her silence was making Emir mad with each passing second. Emir rubbed both of his palms on his nape and marched to and fro to calm himself down. He stopped and again faced her when Cemre came running there.

Cemre: (huffing) That guy in the newspaper is here! He is asking for Reyhan. He said he is here to take her back to her happy place!

"Her happy place??!!!"

Emir thought shockingly and turned towards Reyhan who seemed equally shocked to him. Reyhan again saw his eyes and but this time instead of anger she find pain there.

Emir was in pain. Immense pain to be precise. He couldn't believe he was not her "happy place"!

"Her happy place!"

He chuckled in his mind.

Emir slowly took a step backwards, away from her while staring in her eyes. Reyhan could see pain along with accusations there. His eyes were accusing her for the reason she didn't know.

Emir didn't asked her anything after that nor he waited for her to answer. Slowly moved towards the exit and stopped in the midway.

Emir: (emotionlessly) Collect the divorce papers from study before leaving and never show your me face again.

Saying so, he left.

Thank you💫💫
