They were driving in silence, Baran could only think of his aunts words "I see the way you look into each other, how you want that the other one is fine. I think you need to figure this out. Talk to Dilan, make things right". Does she really feels something for him, this question bothered Baran. He needs to find out how she feels, otherwise he can't act. He doesn't want to get hurt.
Dilan was in her own thoughts. She couldn't stop thinking about the moment she woke up in Barans arms, it felt so right, so natural. None of them was willing to leave that bed. But then it hit her, his words to Cihan the night before they married "I'm forced to marry someone I hate". She closed her eyes to prevent tears falling down, did he really hate her? He could be rude to her but there was those moments he took care of her, showed compassion, the feelings she got when he hugged her. Those moments couldn't be fake, but again it was because he felt guilty, after all she got shot because of him. As soon as she gets better, he will be the old Baran Karabey again, she thought.
Baran turned his head to look at her, he noticed something wasn't right, and ask her if she was ok.
"I'm fine. I'm just tired I guess"
He stopped the car, took her chin and turned her head to him, her eyes was shiny.
"Why are you crying"? He asked.
"I'm not crying, I said I was fine. I'm just tired and my wound hurts a bit" she said.
Her last sentence make him even more worried "should I see if there is a hospital near. Maybe you need to check that wound" he panicked.
"No need, I'm fine. We'll be home soon"
A tear run through her cheek and it felt like a knife in his heart. He wipes her tear, and started the car.As he was driving, unconscious of his actions, Baran stretched his arm and took Dilans hand in his. She looked shocked at him, but he was concentrated on the road, and she didn't make any effort to pull the hand out of his.
When they parked outside the mansion, Baran notices he was holding her hand. He dragged his hand slowly while looking into her eyes.
Someone came out to help them with his bags and brought them back to reality."Welcome home, we missed you so much" said Kader and gave Dilan a big hug.
"I missed you too, abla" replayed Dilan.
"We are upstairs unpacking" answered Baran.When they came upstairs, Dilan went to bathroom to change the patch on her wound. She cleaned the wound and was struggling to put the clean patch, when Baran came in!
"I'm sorry I thought you were done" he said looking into her eyes.
"I can't put the patch right, it's hard to see" she answered, unbothered that he was there.
"If you allow me..." he said.
She didn't answer just gave him the patch. He felt that he couldn't breathe, he swallowed, closed his eyes and came closer to her. It didn't make it better for him, because now he was so close to her, he felt her scent and on top of that he was about to touch her bare skin.
How would he resist? What have he done to himself?He swallowed again, took a deep breath and carefully put the patch. When his fingers touched her skin, he felt like he was burning, and Dilan felt the same. What she was thinking when she accepted his help? Her breath became heavier and she couldn't look at him.
Somehow he managed to put the patch, and without looking at her, he tuned his back and left.
Both needed a moment to come back to reality.He went straight to his office and just a few seconds later someone knocked. It was Kerem with the papers he needed Baran to sign.
Baran didn't notice that Kerem came in and said hi.
"Baran, Baran, Baran so you hear me" said Kerem
"Pardon, I was thinking" he replied
"I noticed that. Wanna talk"? Kerem asked.
Baran took a deep breath and said "I was thinking about something Berivan teyze said" Kerem was listening, then Baran continued " she told me that there is something between me and Dilan, that I have to think about it and talk to her"
Kerem smiled "I told you too, and Cihan. But you said to us were talking nonsense"
"I don't know what's happening with me. I can't breath when she's near and I can't stop things out her when she's not around"
"We'll my friend allow me to answer that: you are in love with Dilan Karabey, and I think it's time for you to admit it too"
Baran didn't say anything for a while and then answered "even if it's so, I didn't matter. She doesn't want me. She married me to save her brother, you know all the hard times she has in this mansion"
"Have you talked to her?" Asked Kerem
"No, I haven't. Because I couldn't even say to myself that I have feelings for her. And what can I say. Dilan I have feelings for you, I hope you can forget everything and give us a chance??""
"That's exactly what you're gonna say" said Kerem.
"I can't. I have to make sure she feels something too. I feel like she does, but I have to make sure" answered Baran!
