"I'm" Cuneyd said softly. He caress her back and Zeynep left his embrace after few seconds. "You were happy for this marriage, Meryem hanim! When Zeynep wanted to study and was refusing to marry, then you did not say anything, but now you want us to get divorced because you are worried about Zeynep? No, but you just want to make her a puppet of your hands." Cuneyd said angrily to meryem. He was so furious but wasn't showing it because of Zeynep. "She is my daughter and I have all rights over her!" Meryem replied angrily too. "Enough mom! Zeynep loves him, can't you see it?" Mira shouted at her mother. "And he is not anyone else, he is her husband! So please let her live her life the way she wants!" Mira was as angry as cuneyd was. Zeynep was scared on the other hand. "Meryem and I will not interfere again... We are sorry!" Levant said to Zeynep and Cuneyd individually and looked at meryem who was already looking at him with shock. "Let's go, meryem hanim!" Levant said and grabbed her arm softly. "Are you coming with us?" Levant asked mira before leaving the house. "No, Shaun will be here in some time!" Mira wrinkled her nose crossing her arms around her chest. "You are so dumb Zeynep, can't you say anything in your defense?" Mira said angrily. "I was afraid!" Zeynep's voice was slow and weak. I was afraid! Mira mimick her. A soft smile appeared on cuneyd's face but he showed eyes to Mira to stop her from saying anything further. "You know what, Shaun is not coming actually! I'm going on my own and nobody will tell mom or dad!" Mira announced and left their house before letting Zeynep say something.
"Are you okay?" Cuneyd asked her softly. "I'm!" Zeynep said slowly and walked passed by him. "Don't worry nobody will come to our house again... Not like this!" Cuneyd said softly and turned towards her at his last words. Zeynep just nodded. She was so confused and scared.
Zeynep opened her hijab and started brushing her hair in front of dressing mirror. That was her way of calming herself. After sometime there was a knock on the door and Cuneyd entered the room. He immediately lowered his gaze when he saw her hair was open. "Cuneyd?" She said as she stood up from her place. "I came here to check on you" he said slowly. "I'm fine! Don't worry!" She said wearing her scarf. He nodded and left. She sighed. He was extremely shy or was he ignoring her? She walked towards her closet and started taking her nightwear out. Her night dress was a little western. She brought this pair with her from France. Zeynep changed her clothes and then came near her bed when Cuneyd entered. "Cuneyd? Do you want something?" Zeynep asked with a slight blush. "No, I have come to sleep." He smiled back but still avoided looking at her. "This is a good thing. I am glad to hear." Zeynep replied with a smile. Cuneyd took off his robe. He went to the bathroom to change his clothes, then Zeynep quickly got into bed. She was very happy that cuneyd had taken the initiative in their relationship. Maybe everything will be fine in the future? She was thinking that when Cuneyd came out. He lay down on the other side of the bed near Zeynep. He was looking straight up at the ceiling. "Zeynep!" He called out to her moments later. Zeynep turned towards him but said nothing. "Don't you feel ashamed that your destiny is written with a person like me?" He asked slowly. Zeynep looked at him in surprise then exhaled deeply and then smiled. "No Cuneyd! If you want to know the truth, I will never feel ashamed of your relationship, this marriage, nor have I ever." "Can you forgive me for the way I treated you in the beginning?.... I kicked you out of the house. " He said again in a low voice. Embarrassment was evident in his tone. "There is good in everything for us, if you didn't take me out, I might not have been able to get an education. Yes, I was hurt by your bad behavior but I forgave you and I have no malice in my heart towards you." Zeynep replied. "Allah razı olsun hayatım!" Cüneyd turned his face towards her and said with a smile. "Allah razı olsun kocacığım!" Zeynep replied with a chuckle.
