Emir And Feriha - The Journey Continues

Part 29

Hospital:

Everyone was waiting near the ER. Emir was pacing the room and Feriha stood against the wall. Koray and Hande sat on the waiting chair and Aysun was panicky. She would suddenly burst out crying loudly and then control herself. Emir couldn't bear this any longer and went outside. Feriha followed him. She was beside him. Emir couldn't look at her but reached out for her touch. Her presence gave him comfort and confidence.

Koray came outside to look for Emir. Emir looked at him enquiringly, his heart racing and face pale.

'Emir, the doctor said he is alright'

Emir, sighed with relief. He ran inside. Aysun was talking to doctors. Emir went next to her and asked the doctor 'how is he?'

The doctor replied 'he is fine but will need time to recover but out of danger. We had to perform surgeries on him and all of them have been successful. We will keep him for observation for some time and then transfer him to his room by tomorrow'

'Thank you doctor'

Emir looked at Aysun 'mom, he is fine'

Aysun didn't reply, she looked back at him with contempt and left. She went to Can and said 'Can I think you should go home; I will arrange a taxi back home for you'

Emir went to her 'Mom, I will take Can home and I think you need a bit of rest, I will stay here'

She looked at him angrily 'I am not leaving his side; I don't need your help'

'Mom' Emir pleaded

Feriha was watching from a distance. Koray offered to take Can home and left.

Emir said to Feriha 'may be you should go home as well'

'I won't leave you alone'

They both looked at Aysun and Aysun glared at Feriha. Feriha deciphered her anger was more at her than Emir. She looked back at Emir and squeezed his hand. 'call me if you need anything.' Emir nodded and hugged her.

Emir offered to leave her home, but Feriha declined. Emir followed Feriha's step and when she was gone, he went upto Aysun. He stood silently next to her.

Morning:

The doctors informed Aysun and Emir that they were happy with the way Unal was responding and that they are transferring him to room. Aysun prayed and thanked to God. Emir sighed with relief. Last night was one of the toughest nights of his life. Even though, he did not share an intimate bond with him, they have been more at distant than close but when Can said dad was critically injured it invoked the fear of loosing him. He realised he held an important place in his life and times when he stood by him despite there have been only few instances of that.

Emir informed Feriha, Koray and Hande that Unal was safe. Feriha was worried for him, but Emir assured her he was alright.

In the room:

Aysun, stayed with Unal taking care of him. She was badly shaken. This was first time she was scared and feared for his life. When Unal opened his eyes he patted Aysun's hand and smiled. 'Don't worry I am not going anywhere.' Aysun smiled and said 'I want you to trouble me more Unal' She got up and hugged him.

Emir was standing behind. Unal looked at Emir and said ' come here. Why are you standing that far?'

Aysun wiped her tears and looked at Emir strangely. Unal noticed the exchange and asked 'what happened?'

'you don't worry'

Unal called Emir closer and said 'I am alright'

'How did this happen?'

'My fault, I didn't see the car coming from the other side, old age perhaps'

Emir said 'better have a driver from now on. Anyways you take rest. I will leave you two.'

He said to Aysun 'Mum, do you need anything? I will get it for you from home.'

'I am fine now'

Emir bid them bye and left.
