It is true that people always do things unaware of the consequences. The many mistakes we do are what shape stronger us. Zeynep of course, had no idea what his unruly brother would do after she showed him mercy. Halil Ibrahim had no idea that bringing a spy into their home would result to turning their marriage and lives upside down. But that's how people learn right? As much as Halil Ibrahim and Zeynep's actions built their relationship, their actions as well, demolished it. For a person with Halil Ibrahim's character, consequences can be dealt with. As long as there's room for reformation, we can all turn demerit to merit. However, Zeynep's character is somewhat different. She feels every mistake she makes and even though she also makes it up with more goodness, how much can a person's goodness change anything if what they did was willingly?
On her way to Halil Ibrahim's arms played several images in her head. How she pushed him away with her words, how she called herself a part of his plan and most of all how she interrogated him of his identity even after he promised to tell her in due time. Could giving him that hug erase it all? No it won't but at this moment, at that moment;she could only see half of her heart on a hospital bed throwing it's hands up... waiting for her to claim it. The moment she fell into his arms is when it really hit her, how much she missed his embrace, his scent and his warmth. It was as if she had gone back to that day, the day they had their first official kiss. The day they decided to let lose and accept all consequences but not miss out on living their lives and love.
Zeynep had been a mess for almost a day now, she cried floods when Halil dropped down unconscious, she kept on crying when the doctors had minimal hope of his survival, she also couldn't hold her tears back when he uttered his first word and now she tears up in his arms. Halil Ibrahim has tears in his eyes too, he hugged Zeynep so tight despite his wounds. He couldn't even complain from the pain because the pain of losing her was far worse than whatever bullets could do. He couldn't breathe properly for months and that one hug gave him life, how much he misses her and yearns for her...
At that moment, they forgot it all... the world as well as their problems. They were just two lovers dying for each other's embrace. Zeynep suddenly let go and stood right by Halil's bed. She turned her head facing the door and her hand could be seen trembling slightly. She uses her hand and wipes her tears off her face. Halil Ibrahim could only see her hair covering her face, his face wore a confused look for a second then it turned depressed. Zeynep snuffles then proceeds, "I'm sorry for that... I got carried away. I promise it won't happen again." She says while she had turned her face away from Halil Ibrahim. Halil looks at her bitterly and strains to raise his body from the bed, with great pain he successfully manages to sit upright. Zeynep on the other hand doesn't dare turn her head his direction even while all this happens, she had clenched her fist so her heart wouldn't command her body once again.
"Will you not even look at me?" Halil complained, "Zeynep, can't you even let me look at your eyes for just a moment?" He continued. Zeynep with no reaction continues standing like a statue, you could slightly see her body trembling from the internal strifle; her mind and heart were at war. The winner is obvious but since her heart hardly commands any of her body parts to move, her brain is at a slight advantage. Halil can see how she struggles with herself, his heart aches for her. "How did they get to this state?" he wondered. He recalls how brave she fought for her love, how much they had planned together in each other's arms. Halil Ibrahim moves his hand reaching out for Zeynep's trembling hands. Although it's painful for him, he still insists and finally lands it on hers. She's startled then tries to let go but Halil firms his grip.
"Hey..." he calls, " Zeynep, please..." his voice has now softened. He swings his hand slightly to catch her attention. Finally Zeynep looks his way, she looks so defeated and conflicted. She wonders why he could be so insisting when all she's done was harm him.
