Ask Laftan Anlamaz.. The Unsaid Words..

Sight of love

After a day when Hayat recovered from trauma,
the doctor checked her leg and advised her to rest for few more days before getting discharged from the hospital. Her fracture was slowly healing now, so the doctor advised her to take brisk walks around the camp to get some fresh air.

Mrs. Duyal the old lady who was with Hayat during the rescue, helped her walk out of the room. Hayat initially walked taking support of the walls and now she was able to walk slowly without any support. She saw an officer in an army uniform fixing up some papers in the notice board, she recalled the man who saved her and felt like meeting him to thank him.

Soon, she reached the lobby of the two storey building where a man was mopping the floor, she asked him way to the reception. The man kept looking at her as she had difficulty in walking. Upon reaching the reception's waiting hall, she looked here and there not knowing whom she should ask about the man who saved her, and she was tapped on her shoulder from behind. It was Didem, one of the army staff rather Murat's team. Hayat turned to her, Didem sat on a chair and gave Hayat a smile, which made Hayat feel that she was a nice person.

Didem: Hey.. did you get discharged?

Hayat: You know me, mam?

Didem: Yeah.. I've seen you in the rescued victims the other day!

Hayat: You saw us, that means you know the officer who saved us!

Didem: Yes, of course! I'm his team member.

Hayat was elated, and shared that she wanted to meet the man who saved her life and thank him. Didem turned a bit serious.

Didem: Umm.. actually he is still not fine.. you know he needs more time to recover, but don't worry, I will convey your thanks to him when he recovers.

Hayat nodded, she felt bad as she really wanted to meet the man who saved her. But she knew it was not possible at the moment. She just sighed and walked back to the camp.

Didem went to the ICU in the top floor of the Army hospital block-B where Murat was, seeing him through the glass door and said to herself, “Sorry Murat, I could not let her meet you right now, because I know you still love her, but I want you to just focus on my love at the moment.”

But, destiny had it’s own plans.

*********************

It was still raining but atleast it reduced compared to the days of cyclone. Meanwhile at the hospital, four days passed-by.
Doruk was sitting next to his brother's bed hoping that he would wake up any moment. Kerem walked into the room with two cups of coffee.

Kerem: He's going to be fine.. Champ! Come, have some coffee, you've been sitting there since long.

Doruk: I really hope so bhai, I just can't see him like this!

Soon, they fell asleep. It was around 2 am in the night when Murat gained his consciousness, he slowly removed the oxygen mask and tries to get up but in vain. He finds Doruk sleeping in the chair next to him and Kerem in the sofa. He thinks they're tired and doesn't makes any sound that would wake them up. He leans back on the bed again, closes his eyes and recollects his rescues before he was knocked out, he gets rushes of himself jumping onto the old lady's roof to save her and the girl. He remembers carrying the girl in his arms in the darkness. He sees a blurred image of her and slowly slips into sleep.

It was 7 am in the morning when Doruk's phone buzzed with a reminder to check on Murat's pulses. Turning off the alarm, he turned towards his brother who was already awake and smiling at him.
