It happened suddenly!

Chapter 21: Deal

Sefer and Nigar exchanged looks in horror, Cavidan gulped hard to digest the reality while Cemre kept on screaming for her dear life!

Melike somehow shushed her down and took her to the living room. She made her sit there and started to clean her dress to remove the soup stains. All the while Cemre couldn't stop herself from glancing at Reyhan in horror!

She was afraid to see her there. She was afraid to see her alive!

Sefer and Nigar slowly slipped into kitchen without being noticed but they couldn't hid themselves from Melike! She was confused to see their faces and their reactions on seeing Reyhan. They were behaving like as if they are seeing some ghost! But why?

Melike immediately followed them to the kitchen and as soon as Nigar turned after fetching water from fridge, Melike appeared in front of her shocking her in the process. Nigar squealed in horror again and spilled some water on Melike. Melike didn't reacted but simply crossed her arms in front of her chest and asked.

Melike: (plainly) Are you hiding something from me?

Nigar vigorously nodded her head in negative.

Melike: Then why are you afraid? And from whom?

Nigar couldn't answer Melike and just stared at her husband for moral support who was standing timidly right behind Melike. Sefer couldn't see his wife in tight spot, so he spoke up!

Sefer: (clearing his throat, nervously) Ac...actually we saw Reyhan ma'am after so long so we got afraid... I mean reacted this way ... I mean anticipating the ... the reaction of Mr. Em.. Emir.

He exhaled deep at last while Melike kept on staring at him suspiciously. Sefer was literally shaking in fear. Fear of Melike!

Melike at last nodded her head positively but she seemed unconvinced to Sefer.

Melike: (taking deep breath in) I don't know if you are telling me the truth or not but for now I believe you.

Saying so, she left while Sefer and Nigar exhaled in relief.

Meanwhile in the living room, Milky mother came and stood next to Reyhan and asked Cavidan.

Milky mother: (curiously, pointing at Cemre) Who is this lady?

Cavidan: (masking her fear with smile) Oh she... (coming close to Cemre and sitting next to her) She is my would be daughter in law, Cemre. Emir's would be bride!

Milky mother instantly diverted her gaze towards Reyhan and saw her pitifully. Reyhan just smiled sadly and turned to go when Cavidan stopped her.

Cavidan: (angrily) Stop right there, Reyhan! (Getting up from her place) How dare you enter inside the mansion? Who allowed you inside? Don't you know, you don't belong to this place?

Reyhan's eyes filled with tears. She replied without turning back.

Reyhan: (emotionlessly) I didn't came here willingly. I am here for my uncle. I will leave once he will be fine. Until then I will be with him.

Saying so, she went out without listening Cavidan's reply. Her statement irked Cavidan. She got so angry that she almost ran towards her to hit her but Melike stopped her in nick time.
