Ask Laftan Anlamaz.. The Unsaid Words..

Reunion

Murat opens the door to Hayat's room and walks inside to sit next to her on the bed, carefully grabbing her hand, while the other hand had a glucose drip connected. He sat there looking at her as if she was a glass doll, he felt miserable looking at her condition, the pale & weak she appeared due to postpartum. He recollects the last time he had seen her, she was similarly sitting in a hospital bed but with a baby, her baby. Even though she was weak back then, she looked so happy holding her baby. But now her face appeared different, bony cheeks, stress lines on her forehead. Then he remembers how her baby held his finger with her little palm when he was about to leave, unknowingly a lone tear drops from his eye & he quickly wipes it away.

“You won’t find her.. Murat!
Even if you find her she will hate you!
She’s not gonna face you Murat..
She’s never gonna smile again, you’re never gonna be happy again.. Mark my words!!“

Emre's words rang again in his head.

“I sensed something wrong happened to her when I spoke to Emre, now that I found her.. I am worried seeing her in this state, where is her baby? Is she worried about the baby?” he thought in himself.

He gently cups her bony cheeks which were once full, he remembers her dimples which appeared every time she smiled looking at him with a twinkle in her almond eyes, he caresses her hair and sits like that holding onto her hand.

After two hours, it was nearly midnight.. Kerem calls up the house-help at Sarsilmaz mansion to look after Azime and Suna till they come back in the morning. Asli looks at a stressed Ipek and asks her to go have a coffee with Kerem and come back, she would stay there till then with Doruk.

A nurse walks into Hayat’s room to check upon her drip, and finds Murat sleeping next to her with his face on Hayat's left shoulder. She tries waking him up, but he doesn’t flinch. She just notes Hayat’s vitals and checking the level of the drip, walks out to the waiting area, to find Asli & a half asleep Doruk and she tells them to wake up Murat. They go inside the room, but Doruk doesn’t feel like waking up his brother who was finally sleeping peacefully. He just smiles looking at them, they decide to let them be for a while and they come out. As Kerem & Ipek come back all of them decide to sit at the reception area as there was restriction for visitors in the emergency ward.

Later, when Murat feels Hayat getting uncomfortable in her sleep.. he wakes up, adjusting the sheets over her properly, he walks over to the mini sofa at one side of the room and sits watching her. Sleep takes over him automatically after sometime.

It was around 4 am in the morning.. Hayat gains consciousness and she finds herself on the bed. She tries to absorb her surroundings when she spots a sleeping Murat. She instantly feels happy, but then remembering the previous events.. the soft expression on her face vanishes, as she gets up, pulling away her drip, she walks out of the room.

As if in cue, Murat wakes up just after a few minutes and not finding Hayat on the bed, he panics and storms out. He runs around the hallway like a mad man to find Hayat shouting her name. When he reaches the front desk, he finds Asli, Doruk, Ipek, Kerem who were asleep in the seats at the waiting area. He runs towards the exit and asks the security guard if he had seen any woman in a patient’s dress going out. The guard just points his finger towards the lawn and he comes running outside.

“Hayat.. Hayat! Where are you?” He screams on the top of his voice.

He sees a shadow and runs towards it, he instantly recognizes it to be her, he catches hold of her elbow and turning her towards him, and pulls her into a bear hug. She doesn’t reciprocate and stands there like a zombie.
