Silhouettes

Chapter 8: What Is!!!

Janu POV.

Early morning sun rays danced their way into my room.

I pulled the cover over my body, blocking the sun out of my sight. My last attempt at getting a little bit more of sleep.

The harder I tried the more thoughts raced into my head.

"He cheated so that shall be easy. But I need another loophole to depend on and shock them in court with!!!"

I opened my eyes slightly, grunted at sun then turned into my side, giving my back to the sun and window.

Upon turning into my side, I peaked into my bedside clock, it was 6:21 AM.

Today is Friday.

Oh, no!

You will get in a bit why I said that.

Finally I pushed the covers off, surrendering. I knew my mind is too occupied to offer me any kind rest.

"You will rest, Janu. You will rest when this case is over by you winning it." I said as I pushed myself up into a sitting position.

I am physically tired.

I went to bed around 2 AM last night, I was at Ibrahim's home till 12 AM working on my case alongside him. I don't know what I would do without Murat, really!!!!

My feet hit the floor and finally I got up.

I passed by the bedside table as a set of eyes followed me all the way into my bathroom.

After going through my morning routine, I put on a pair of jeans and an off the shoulders white top. It is not officially the weekend but I will be working all day with Ibrahim, at his place, so no need to dress up.

As I was putting on some makeup on, I could hear my mother from downstairs asking her grandchildren to wake me up.

You see I am still living at my parent's house still. Yes I am 26 years old and still doing so.

I have 4 siblings, 2 older sisters who are at the age of 34 and 30. I also have 2 younger crazy brothers aged 22 and 18. I am exactly in the middle.

The funny thing is, all my siblings are either married or in a relationship of some form even that 18 year old kid.

My 2 older sisters were married before hitting 20 and are now settled in their own houses. Each of them having 2 kids.

As for my brothers they are both studying abroad in together.

My mom went "Go wake up your Teyze"* to the 3 miniatures at the house. She couldn't order the 4th one around, since he is only a toddler.

Fridays at our house means a loud crowded busy house preparing for Friday prayers and the weekend. Both of my sisters spend their weekend here with their families. So endless hustle and kids around the house, making me spend the entire weekend out at Eve's place to get my work done.

My bedroom's door flew open as the 2 boys and 1 girl walked in shouting in excitement "TEYZE, TEYZE."

"Efendim*, I am already awake." I said as I kissed each of them. Each of them started telling me how their week went.

The youngest, the girl Toska was wearing a princess blue dress. She was swirling in it, as she said "I am a beautiful model princess." I laughed to that and went on to tease her by saying "You are full of pride aren't you?!"

"HAYIR*, I AM BEAUTIFUL."* Was her only response.

"Tamam, tamam."* I said laughing.

"Hadi*, gel*, gel gather around." I said as I moved them into a small circle.
