In the months that followed, Lisya focused on her own healing. She delved into her passions, spent time with friends, and gradually felt herself mending. It was during this period of self-discovery that she met Levent at a local art exhibition.
Levent was the complete opposite of Leco-steady, kind, and genuinely interested in who Lisya was as a person. They struck up a conversation about a painting, and Lisya was surprised by how effortlessly they connected. Unlike Leco's fleeting charm, Levent's warmth and attentiveness felt like a balm to her weary soul.
Their relationship developed slowly but steadily. Levent was patient, understanding Lisya's hesitation and the scars left by her past. He never rushed her, and his consistent presence provided a stark contrast to the unpredictability of Leco.
One day, as they walked through the park, Lisya found herself opening up about her past. "Levent, there's something you should know," she said. "Before we met, I was in a situation with someone who... well, it ended in a way that left me hurt."
Levent stopped and took her hand. "Lisya, I appreciate your honesty. I just want you to know that I'm here for you, no matter what. I'm not going anywhere."
His words were a comfort, but Lisya couldn't completely silence the echoes of her past. She often found herself comparing Levent to Leco, scrutinizing every moment for signs of inconsistency or uncertainty.
Despite this, Levent's unwavering support and genuine affection helped her gradually let go of her fears. It was clear that he was committed to building a future together, something Lisya had yearned for but never truly experienced with Leco.
