Aşktan Korkma (ENG) [Ended]

Chapter 15

Defne, stepping out into the garden, effectively drew her attention to herself. Both Ceren and Halit turned their heads toward the source of the sound. Ceren jumped up from her seat as the girl stood at the table, hastily explaining how she had found the phone. Her friend immediately snatched it from her hand, wanting to answer it. Unfortunately, she didn't have time, as the melody on the device went silent.

- Who was that? - Halit asked, as Ceren walked away from the table with her phone. She decided to call back immediately.

- The name Nesrin was displayed," explained Defne, putting a strand of hair behind her ear.

- And all is clear," Halit replied, leaning back on the back of his chair. He laughed. - It's her friend. They haven't seen each other for more than a week and must have missed each other. It looks like they will talk for a long time.

It was just as Halit said. Ceren talked at great length with the previously mentioned Nesrin. It was evident that she was pleased with the call, because the girl was even beaming during the conversation, constantly laughing out loud, telling her friend about the vacation. It was difficult not to hear parts of the conversation, as Ceren was acting quite loud.

In view of this, Defne helped Halit clean off the table after breakfast. The girl left some food for herself and Selim, which Halit carried to him to the living room. Turan ate breakfast while being on the move. It wasn't healthy, but she didn't want to sit in the garden and inadvertently overhear the conversation. She also didn't know how she should behave after kissing Korkmaz, so taking advantage of the moment that she might be busy with something, she tried to focus on the task at hand and not think about what had happened between them.

That's when she realized she didn't have her own phone with her. She left the boys in the living room, heading to their room. There she found it. She discovered many missed calls from Janset and Özge.

- Allah, Allah," she said to herself, hastily dialing her cousin's contact. She anxiously put the device to her ear. In her nerves, she waited for the girl to answer.

- Defne, are you okay! - asked a clearly worried Özge. You could sense nervousness in the tone of her voice. - You haven't answered for an hour!

- I'm fine," explained Defne, sitting down on the bed. - I was at breakfast and just forgot to take the phone out of the room.

- Peki (It's okay.)," replied her cousin, sighing with relief. - I thought something had happened. I also called Janset, but she told me she hasn't talked to you yet today. Neyse. ( Never mind.) I'm calling about another matter.

- What is it about? - Defne started nervously, clutching a scrap of her dress with her free hand.

- Your parents have checked into our hotel," she announced, and Defne held her breath. She expected to hear something worse.

- What are you saying? - she replied surprised. - Mom didn't mention anything about the fact that she and Dad were going to go on vacation together. And especially that they would go to Bodrum exactly.

- As far as I know, this arrival was a surprise from Uncle Emin on the occasion of the upcoming anniversary of their first date," her cousin explained. - It was a spontaneous action. I won't hide the fact that I had a small part in it. I wanted to find them a room on such a date that you would be there, but someone cancelled the reservation... And you know that now we will have a lot of work in the hotel.

- Yes, I remember. - Defne lay down on the bed, closing her eyes. That way she could focus and remember the schedule for upcoming events. - A film crew is coming soon, and right after that we have a wedding to organize.
