It happened suddenly!

Chapter 42: Why?

Emir was sobbing bitterly on Zafer's shoulder. He was trying hard but couldn't stop his friend's tears.

Emir: (in between his sobs) She was the first girl I fell in love with... And probably she will be the last... Because... Because I can't even imagine my life without her... I don't know how I am going to survive... without her... all alone. I don't know how I am going to spend the rest of my life without her...

He said with heavy heart. His heart was literally breaking with each passing second. And Zafer, being his best friend couldn't see him in tears. He again tried to wipe away his tears when Emir held his arms in midair.

Emir: (getting serious) Zafer, You have to make sure that she reaches home safely. You have to make sure that she never have to worry about her expenses and lastly... (Exhaling deep) You have to make sure that she get someone in her life.

He said the last sentence with difficulty and gasped hard to inhale more oxygen as the mere thought of Reyhan with someone else chocked him! Zafer could clearly see the situation of his one and only friend. He opened his mouth to say something but a promise, which he made to Reyhan a moment ago, prevented him. He sighed away and got a glimpse Reyhan who was hiding behind the curtains of the window. He smiled a little and was about to call her when she urgently nodded her head no and left the place in no time.

Zafer was puzzled. He was not at all understanding what was going on! He couldn't figure out why Reyhan was behaving so strange. He could clearly see her love for Emir in her eyes. He already knew that she really cares for him and yesterday, when Emir was unconscious, she was sitting by his side. Her wounds, her bruises were not even bothering her. The whole night she stayed awake, she chose not to blink as she thought if she blinks, even for a second, she might lose that precious moment with Emir.

Everything was fine until next morning. The moment she was shifted to her own ward, everything changed. He remembered clearly how she sent a nurse to call him and took a promise from him. She made him promise that no matter what he was not going to tell Emir anything about last night. He was not going to tell Emir how worried she was for him. He was not going to tell Emir how she prayed and she stayed awake for him. And lastly he was not going to tell Emir her whereabouts.

Taking those promises from him, Reyhan accompanied him till Emir's ward and stayed back after Zafer went inside. She chose not to enter his ward again because as per the doctors, he might get conscious anytime soon.

Zafer was clueless. As he scratched his nape in confusion and frustration, he saw Cemre and Cavidan entering the scene. Both were elated to see Emir fine and run towards him to question him.

Cavidan: How are you, my son?

Cemre: How did you get hurt?

Cavidan: Are doctors treating you we'll?

Cemre: Did you note down the truck number which caused your accident?

Cavidan: Did you sleep well?

Cemre: Did you...

They bombarded him their questions one after another. Emir just rolled his eyes and kept both palms on his ears to refrain himself from sound pollution while one particular question grabbed Zafer's attention!

Zafer looked at Cemre all surprised and asked all of a sudden, cutting their trail of questions in between.

Zafer: (surprisingly) Cemre, how did you know that he was hit by a truck?
