Now Feriha needed to change her appearance. Sophie, John and Feriha all went for shopping for her. It was decided she had to look drab. So she bought herself knee-length skirts in dull colors with loose and drab colors shirts & sweaters with pairs of low/ flat shoes. Sophie then reminded Feriha that her eyes will give her masquerade. Then was decided to buy glasses to hide her appearance. She bought two pair of glasses; one with tinted lenses. This was the only way to hide her expressive eyes. Next she went for fringe to hide her mark on forehead and tied her hair low in bun changed her appearance as she looked herself in the mirror.

All three returned to Sophie's house. Feriha felt guilty for using Aynur name for this deception. Then she was fighting for her own life. Aynur not once hesitated but hoped she found the truth.

John was concerned about her too. "Feriha, you are taking a chance. What do you expect that child would rush up to you and call you "Mother"?"

Feriha paled, "Of course not, if she is my daughter, I will know. I just have to see her." She looked at Sophie.

"Why are making all these efforts of disguise? Go there, knock at the door and ask your precious husband why he deceived you four years ago. It's that simple.

She teary eyes looked at both of them."I've to do it. Please understand."

"We are worried about you, Feriha. You are playing with the fire. You are vulnerable; my only concern is, you don't get hurt again. Promise me that you will be in touch. We are only a call away from you."Sophie came to her hugged her smiling into her tortured eyes.

Feriha with forced smile told them not worry about her and promised to be in touch.

Sophie had told Feriha that John liked her. She also liked him, he was a caring person. Except Emir nobody could take Emir's place in her life, her heart. He was just a friend John knew it. Both had healthy friendship, rather all three of them.

Sophie reminded her,"Feriha I have added in your qualifications that you know English and Italian too as per the job requirements. Feriha had learnt both languages because of Sophie's insistence.

Two days later she had first glimpse of the Stonaway, Emir's new home on the Island. Her travelling arrangements were done by the company. A car was waiting for her when she reached. A bright eyed little man about sixty-odd stood there. He led her to a sleek black Mercedes--Emir's taste in cars had not changed, she thought.

It was beautiful scenery along the way. Her eyes fell to the house that was before her. She was lost in thoughts about her meeting with the child, did not noticed when she reached there. Something about the house beckoned her as if she reached home. Then she came out of her reverie, she would better keep in mind that she came here only for her daughter. She should not attach any emotions with all this.
