Anything Could Happen

Peace

Chapter 32.

Delnaz's POV

So as much as Afsana wasn't fond of Yıldız, she didn't have an immediate disliking towards me. Yıldız and I could continue with our plan and instead of using Afsana as a pawn in our little game, we decided to include her in it instead.

"What if she turns against us? We don't know how loyal she might be to Göksu and what if she's just putting on a façade?" Yıldız paced around her room anxiously after my phone call with Afsana.

"I doubt that would happen. She really seems to hate Göksu. Can't really blame her on that one," I muttered irritably.

Instead of the three of us sulking around the entire day, we decided to go shopping. We needed dresses for tomorrow and to make to make it up to Afsana for being a bit harsh, Yıldız agreed to invite Afsana along. That meant that Afsana was going to be present when Fuad met my parents.

If he still intended to meet them...

"Snap out of it and let's get gone already. I'm not gonna let a mood swing change your mind, Delnaz."

Yıldız knew me too well. I wasn't in the mood to shop but I needed to fight for Fuad and perhaps help Afsana as well. After all, if it wasn't for her ratting out Göksu, I may not have known about the evil witch trying to make a move on my Fuad.

"Hi, again," I smiled warmly at Afsana, who refused to meet my gaze.

"Hi..."

The three of us walked into a small boutique. A woman immediately rushed over to us and ushered us to the back of the store.

"So beautiful girls, are you looking for anything in particular?"

"Actually, yes. Her boyfriend's meeting her parents tomorrow so we want something stunning but not too flashy. Afsana and I aren't too worried about our dresses, right?" Yıldız glanced at Afsana and to our dismay, fat tears were streaming down the girl's cheeks.

"Oh Allah... We'll be right back," Yıldız excused us from the woman's judging looks.

Outside the boutique, Yıldız and I tried to ask Afsana what was going on. We were gobsmacked when she finally told us.

"Göksu threatened Hassan and I of photos with us together... Right before our engagement! She and I were meant to go shopping together and we did. I found the perfect dress and jewellery and then she threatened me. I was forced to call of my engagement immediately and Göksu took my outfit and accessories and Hassan had no choice but to propose to her instead," Afsana's voice cracked a she burst out crying at the memory.

So that was what Göksu's plan was...

"Shh, don't cry. It's not worth it. We're gonna beat Göksu at her own game," Yıldız hugged Afsana, which surprised me and then threw an arm around her shoulders. "Is she still 'engaged' to Hassan?"

Afsana nodded sadly. "Yes... But it seems that she's after Fuad now and I have no idea why. I'm sorry Delnaz, I really am. I wish I could help you more but I am helpless myself." Afsana dried her tears and put on a brave front. "Let's go get your dress, Fuad will meet your parents, come hell or high waters."

Fuad's POV

Rizvan threw the last pack of cigarettes down the trash chute, then turned to me, his mouth set in a thin line. "What's going on with you Fuad? You don't look like a guy who's going to meet his future in-laws tomorrow."
