Longing or betrayal

☆ Güzide, will you marry me? ☆

~☆~

2 months later:
The Özgüder family lived in peace and tranquility. Nobody disturbed them in these days. Güzide had many sleepless nights because of nightmares, but Sezai was always next to her and calmed her soul down. They used to sleep together and it was necessary for Güzide mainly, his appearance helped her to go through these sorrows and painful, cruel actions. Tarik stayed far away from her, Güzide didn't know anything about him, but also it was the best. Yeşim stayed in prison for 1 month because of her burglary. It was the only news what they heard about them. Ozan stood next to his mother and there are many nights which was spent together as mother and son. Their conversation was really important for both of them after these events. Just a mother and son are able to understand and healing each others wound in these periods. Ümit started to be mysterious and Güzide noticed it, but she didn't suspect any serious deal behind it. Sezai was closer and closer to Güzide and their relationship strengthen enough to bring an important and waited decision. On the other hand, he was afraid of to talk about his past to her. She just faced with many terrible events and tried to ease it, he didn't find any appropriate time to reveal any fact about himself yet.

It was an autumn morning, Güzide woke up earlier then she used to, because she had an important negotiation. She wore an elegant, silk shirt and jeans, her hair was in a bun. She looked herself at the mirror and put up a light lipstick. Sezai just opened his eyes and glanced her in front of the mirror.
S: You are beautiful as always, my dear. -sitting up in the bed and looking her with admiration.
G: Aa.. good morning, my love. -turned to him with a kind smile.
S: Good morning. Why did you get up such an early time? -also got out of the bed, stepped as close to her as he could and hugged her from back. Güzide tilted her head back to his shoulder and smiled slightly. The man hugged her warmly and put a small kiss in her cheek.
S: Tonight, we will go together to a secretly place, which will be my surprise. -whispered to her ear.
G: Oh, surprise? -looked at him with curiosity. -Okay, I'm already curious what is your plan, but I'm sure it make me very happy. Your surprise give me more memories to my mind.
They slowly separated from each other and Sezai went to change his clothes.

After few minutes the couple went downstairs where the delicious aroma of the foods came to their nose.
G: What kind of beautiful smells?-said to Sezai when stepped into the living room.
S: Good morning, Zeynep, daughter. -stepped inside with his beloved woman and sat down at the table.
G: Good morning Zeynep. Ozan and Ümit are still sleeping? -asked while sat down.
Z: Good morning! Ümit went away already. Ozan still sleeping.
G: Ümit... Where is this man? These days, he always disappear, come home in late hours and go away early hours.
S: He is an adult man, Güzide. He knows what he do. Just leave him to do what he want. -said in calmly voice while eating his breakfast.
G: But, he is completely changed. His behaviour turned to mysterious. I noticed it, but maybe you are right. -thinking while eating her breakfast.
After few minutes they finished it and went together to the court.
G: Sezai, I go to the office immediately, because I will late. We will meet here after our negotiation, okay?
S: Okay, my love. I park with the car and I'm also coming. -Güzide got out and went inside while Sezai parked with the car.
Fortunately, she was ready to take care of these facts already. She didn't have enough energy and time to work on those difficult days. But, now the work helped her to forget the bad memories.
She was welcomed by many familiar faces, someone hurried in front of her, to take her bag and coat while others greeted her with a satisfied and glad smile in their faces. When she wanted to go into her own office saw Nazan who ran towards her.
N: My dear friend! -hugged her tightly. -I'm really glad that you return! -you went through so much trial, but my strong friend is here now. -storked her arm while smiled at her with pride.
G: Yes Nazan, it was really many. But from now on, I want to find the best way to live in peace and happiness. -looked down and after with confident smile at her. -Sezai always stand next to me and it gave me enough strong on those days as you too.
N: Yes dear, I know. But Sezai was, who was really your supportation, who give you strength and who could calm your soul when you were in a desperated state. I wish you to not go through more trials and troubles. You already deserve the peace and calm life. -her eyes started to be teary as thought to the past.
G: Ssh, my dear Nazoş. Don't cry. It already happened but we have to look forward, towards the future. -pulled her friend towards herself and hugged her tightly.
N: I have to go because I have a negotiation soon. -said when they separated from the warm hug.
G: Okay dear. We will see each other later. -after turned to her office door and went inside. She just sat down her place when a knock was heard on the door. -Come in!
Yeşim was, who came inside with hurried steps.
Y: Good job, Hakime hanim! -stepped to the table and sat down with a confident smile on her face.
G: What do you want? -looked at her seriously, but not surprisedly and tried to stay calm.
Y: I knew, you will return to the work today, so I decided to visit you in the first day. We didn't talk yet by face to face, alone, but now I already have to warn you! -threated her with the finger and on her face a cunning smirk appeared.
G: What do you want from me? Tell and after go away, I have so much deal. -said it with the same, calm tone.
Y: I think that you don't know what your brother is doing. -paused and looked at her reaction.
G: What about Ümit? -she looked at her with the same calm and without any curiosity.
Y: Your brother is following Öykü to the school. It wasn't the first time! I warn you to talk with your brother and tell to him to leave us in peace! We are very happy finally with Murat. I don't want to see any family member close to us! It was my first and my last warning! -her voice was sharp and warning as she stood up.
G: I think you don't know what you are talking about! I am, who want to stay far away from your family, mainly Tarik! -paused and also stood up. Step towards her slowly and looked straightly into her eyes. -We are far away from your family, I'm sure of it, but you? Look, you come here with warnings and threats. I didn't forget what you did in my house on that day. If I were in your place, I would be in silence and feel shame for my actions. -a small determined smile appeared on the side of her lips. -Now go away from the court and don't come here again. -still calmness felt in her voice while pointed confidently to the door.
The woman looked at her with confused face as she remembered the burglary, finally turned around and without any word walked out of the court, while Güzide sat back to her place while took a huge sigh.
G: Off, Ümit! What did you do? -took up her phone and started to dial her brother's number.
Ü: Halo, sister? -took up the phone with perplexed voice.
G: Where are you, Ümit? -asked with stern voice.
Ü: I'm on my workplace now. Is something happened, sister? Your voice is harassed.
G: Yes, come home immediately. I will also go and we will talk. -warned him and after hang up the call. She stood up and took her coat, started her way towards the exit when Sezai hurried after her.
S: Güzide! My negotiation finished just now..
G: Ah Sezai, yes. I have to go home, I have to talk with Ümit.
S: Wait then, we can go together. I don't have more negotiation.
G: Okay. -they approached the exit and after they walked towards the car. -I can't believe it.. -said it whisper but Sezai heard her.
S: What happened? Why are you anxious? -asked with curiously.
G: Yeşim came here. -got into the car while Sezai closed her door and after he also sat behind the steering wheel.
S: Yeşim? What did she want? -asked while started the car. -Why did she come here? How did she dare after what she did? -shook his head in disbelief.
G: Unfortunately, she was right now. She came to warn me to keep far away Ümit from her daughter. -explained to him the reason.
S: What? What did he do with Öykü? I don't understand. -looked at her with misunderstanding.
G: I don't know either. She said that he followed her or something like this.. I don't know I have to talk with Ümit. -paused and looked out the window anxiously. -I can't understand his childish behaviour. -said it with incredulously.
S: Don't upset yourself my dear. I'm sure he didn't want to do any harm or bad for her. -stretched his arm and slightly squeezed her hand. Looked at her face for a long time while she wasy turned towards the window, but his soft touch caused her a little shuddering and turned her face towards him with a light smile.
G: Your touches are able to calm my heart and forget my problems right away, my dear. -slowly snuggled up to him and rested her head on his shoulder.
