"At least we are under the same moon"
The airport road was busy. It was late in the day. Three black cars at the airport were parked and six guards were waiting. The plane landed and thirty minutes later Zeynep was walking towards the vehicles. The Leto family was waiting for her. Zeynep was coming for the first time today after Rizwan Leto's death to Kara deniz. After meeting her mother and brothers, Zeynep locked herself in her room.
The shadows of the night were getting darker. The coffee mug was in her hand and she was deep in thought. She was thinking about him... Halil Ibrahim.... It's been two years since she last saw him... And two years and six months for his father's death.... She last saw him there and not after that ever...
Zeynep decided to move back to America after her father's death as it was best decision in her mind. She never looked back nor called Halil Ibrahim. And now she was back, what will be his reaction? Will he be happy? Or sad? Or hurt? Maybe he will hug her again and forget everything she did to him in past... Maybe...
Zeynep was lost in her thoughts. "You ready to come for dinner?" She heard someone saying from behind and turned back. It was her best friend elif. "Yes, all ready!" Zeynep replied cheekily. They both walked downstairs where everyone was waiting for them to go for dinner. Fikret planned dinner outside in Zeynep's favourite restaurant so they were heading there tonight.
Getting into four cars, Leto family was headed outside for their family dinner at the one and only best restaurant in Kara deniz. After sitting comfortably in the restaurant, they all started talking. Yavuz and fikret were talking about something related to the business. While Leyla and Zeynep were laughing on elif's joke. "Let's take a selfie, I will post it on my Instagram!" Leyla announced and the three of them posed for the selfie.
After few selfies when elif took phone from Leyla's hand and started taking selfies from her side. Zeynep felt someone's head behind Leyla's head in the selfie camera. She looked around and saw him... He was looking happy... Their table was full too. Along with Halil Ibrahim's friends, there was an unknown head in between Halil Ibrahim and Sema's chair. She looking at Halil Ibrahim and laughing. He was laughing too. Zeynep's smile faded. Halil Ibrahim looked at her for a moment then turned his face again. She could see the same shock on his face too. But Halil Ibrahim was good at hiding his expressions. Zeynep turned to her family's gossip where they all were laughing at something stupid.
"Hey Sema!" Elif shouted and waved her hand towards Sema as soon as she saw them. "Oh hi!" Sema replied surprisingly. "Hi Sema, Turan, Osman" Zeynep turned towards them again but now she was looking so much confident. "Zeynep!!!" Sema and Eda Nur almost screamed with happiness. Their best friend was back. "Hello my ladies!" Zeynep turned towards them and said cheekily. She was as happy as them. Zeynep left her place and hugged her friends tightly. She also didn't looked at Halil Ibrahim and he was ignoring her too. "When did you arrive, Zeynep?" Sema asked after hugging her. "Today, in the evening!" She replied with a smile. "Come, join us!" Eda Nur offer her. Zeynep looked at her and then gaze at Halil Ibrahim. "No, it's my family dinner so I think I should be with my family right now!" Eda Nur understood her gaze and sigh slowly. "Okay! But you will come over to us tonight!" She said with pointing finger to her. Zeynep chuckle just.
"Hi! I'm feyza, Halil Ibrahim's girlfriend!" Feyza greeted Zeynep in front of everyone. Zeynep and Eda Nur were talking about something but she turned her face towards her. "Hi feyza, I'm Halil Ibrahim's ex wife, Zeynep!" Zeynep held her hand and shake it. Feyza looked at Halil Ibrahim and then her. "Ohh, Halil Ibrahim never said anything about you, by the way nice to meet you!" Feyza said softly but her whole body was burning with jealousy. "Nice to meet you too feyzacim!" Zeynep said and walked towards her family's table. The food was already served and she was too hungry to think about anything. But her insides were burning like a fire. She saw him after two years and he was with another woman. Was all his promises fake? But she left him first so he had right to move on from her or does she wanted him to cry for her all his life? Zeynep was eating while thinking about Halil Ibrahim. As much as she wanted to take part in the family gossip and join them, her mind was absent all the time.
"I'm going to powder room!" Zeynep said to elif and Leyla slowly and then walked towards the other side of the restaurant. Halil Ibrahim who was looking at her time to time, saw her going somewhere and stood up from his place too. "I will be back!" He said to his friends and then walked towards the direction where Zeynep was.
Zeynep opened the tap and started taking deep breaths. Her eyes were turning red and she was about to cry when she heard someone knocking on the door. She immediately wiped her face and applied some make up again. But she didn't respond to the knocking. After sometime, she heard the door opening. She looked at the door in surprise, because she herself locked it before entering the powder room. "Does someone's privacy doesn't matter to you?" She said angrily but before she could speak again, Halil Ibrahim entered the powder room like a storm and kissed her deeply. Zeynep was shocked. Because she was not expecting him, especially like that! Zeynep didn't kissed him back despite all the desires lingering her body. She freed herself from his grip and slapped him. "What you think you are doing?" She asked him angrily. Halil Ibrahim looked at her with hurtful gaze and sigh. "Welcome back, Zeynep hanim!" He said slowly and left her there alone.
