It happened suddenly!

Chapter 17: Pink

Emir silently finished his dinner. Though he wasn't hungry but he just couldn't deny his milky mother, especially when he knew food tastes delicious! He slowly put the last morsel in his mouth and Reyhan sighed in relief.

She was peeping at him, through the door, without being noticed. She saw, how broke he was but still she chooses to be remain unseen. Why? Because he himself told her not to show her face ever again, right?

No! She didn't showed up because she was more concerned for his life.

Flashback...

The moment Emir left the room, Reyhan sharply turned towards Cemre and slapped her hard, imprinting all her fingers on Cemre's Oh-so-delicate cheek! Cemre, who was smirking at Reyhan a moment ago, was shocked beyond measures!

Cemre: (gritting her teeth, angrily) How dare you slap me?

As she said, she held Reyhan's arm and tried to twist it. But Reyhan was quick enough, she pushed her hard making her butt kiss the floor! Cemre again stared at her in complete shock while Cavidan lost all her color. She never saw Reyhan this fierce. She was staring at Reyhan in horror as if she was seeing some ghost!

Reyhan: (angrily) I never imagined this from you Cemre, how can you stoop so low? You morphed the picture and got it printed in a newspaper, like seriously? And you still think that Emir will divorce me even after knowing the truth!

Cemre: (Almost instantly) Of course! He will! Haven't you heard him saying "not to show you face again?"

Reyhan: (crossing her arms in front of her chest) Yes, I did! But when I will show him the proof and make him meet the person in the photo, I am sure he won't let me go.

Saying so she exhaled deeply and she was about to go out when Cemre's next statement froze her in place.

Flashback ends...

Reyhan silently cleaned the table while covering her face with scarf and again peeped inside the room where Emir was sleeping with his milky mother by his side. She never saw Cavidan loving Emir like this.

"I never saw Mrs. Cavidan talking to him lovingly unless it's related to money!"

"I saw Emir and Suna longing for their mother's attention and love which they never got."

Thought Reyhan while sighing deeply. She again peeped inside the room.

His head was now resting in old lady's  lap while she was fondly strocking his head. A lone tear escaped from Reyhan's eye unknowingly as she saw him sleeping in her lap, peacefully. Reyhan always knew that there lies a little kid inside a rough tough Emir who longed to be pampered. But his own people cared less! She remembered how she used to stroke his hair locks after his hectic day, without being noticed and how he used to smile in his sleep.

"Oh..! Those were the days..."

"Making you smile during sleep was my favorite thing to do..."

More tears escaped from her eyes as she silently saw him from distance. They were so close, yet so far! At that moment, she had strong urge to stroke his locks like she used to do but she refrained herself. Her heart was continuously battling with her brain and was forcing her to ran to him, in his arms but her mind knew what's better for him! Her mind knew if she dared to come infront of Emir, then Cemre would definitely run straight to the police. And Emir will end up in jail!
