SILENT SCARS

Chapter Eleven

Tarkan
"What do you mean you couldn't find them!" I thundered at the driver I assigned to drive Nihan and my son.

Nihan wasn't home and her phone wasn't going through either. It's almost midnight and I was losing my mind.

"Sir I can go look for her," the driver walked up to me but I angrily pushed him away and got in to my car. As I drove off, I called Azra.

"Azra where is Nihan?"

"Tarkan are you not tired of bothering her, let her be!"She lectured me.

"I'm at your place and she's not here, her driver couldn't find her."

"What do you mean she's not there! The driver should have drove them home unless..." Azra spoke.

I heard Halit say something to her that wasn't clear.

"Unless what Azra?" I asked.

"Altan, I saw them together maybe they left together," Azra said.

                           *******
Before she finished what she wanted to say, Tarkan hanged up.

Nihan
"Nihan," Altan knocked on the door and got in.

"You can have him wear this," he said handing me a couple of baby boy clothes.

"They were mine, my mother kept them and you can have this," below them was a hoodie and sweatpants.

As reluctant as I was, I didn't know who this man was and I didn't want Aslan catching a cold. Hi suit was still wet. I took the clothes and placed them on the bed. The guy, Altan went on one knee before my son.

"What's your name baby?" He asked Aslan.

"Aslan," he responded.

"You have an adorable kid," Altan smiled at him.

"Thank you."

"I'll leave you to change, you can come downstairs right after," he kindly spoke and left

I made Aslan change immediately. I wasn't going to put on his sweat pants so I just put on his hoodie to be warm. To be honest, I felt uncomfortable and uneasy being there. Why was he being nice to me? Why did he help me.

"Annem, is baba coming to pick us up?" Aslan asked.
(Mom, dad)

That's when it hit me that my phone died.

"No oglum but we have to get home okay," I kissed my son on his cheek and we went downstairs.

Altan was talking to an old man. His father I assumed, he looked like him. I didn't want to disturb him, I just wanted to leave and just when I was trying to find my way out.

"Nihan!" He called me..

They both turned to look at us. All of a sudden there was a very loud continuous sound outside.

"Nihan!" I heard Tarkan's voice outside.

"Baba!" Aslan exclaimed.

For some reason, my body became cold all of a sudden and I didn't want to leave anymore.

Altan and his father exchanged a look and they both left immediately. He asked me to stay behind but I didn't want to cause any trouble.
