DEFNE
Watching Ömer put on a suit never got old. He was the most beautiful man she had ever seen. His eyes, his lips, his beard, those shoulders... He was distracting her and wasn't even making an effort. He stopped talking and now he was smirking at her.Â
'Sevgilim?' All right, maybe he did know what he was doing to her.
What was he saying again? Oh, he didn't want to stay at Sinan's wedding party for long. She propped herself on the wall beside mirror while he finished getting ready.
'Yes, I know you're tired and you'd like to leave earlier than what is usually the norm but... Sinan is your brother.' She knew he avoided these things as much as he could, but this is Sinan they were talking there.
'So? What does that have to do with anything? It's just a small dinner, love, not that huge of an affair.' As if that could be enough of a reason for him to skip half of the event.
'Still... You cannot get mad and flee as you use to do as soon as Mr. Koray arrives. It's important that you stay until the very end. So prepare yourself.'
Something she said makes him smile a bit nervously... What now.
'Oh, speaking of Koray...' That never lead to anything good. 'Do you remember that game we had the other day? I lost something.'
Uh-oh.
'What did you lose?'
'Don't ask me.' If they were with Koray, there's no telling what it was.
'What? Ömer, tell me!'
Then he smiles, smiles! Was he trying to kill her?
'The first of us who has a son, I mean Sinan and I, will have to name him Koray.'
Allah Allah, was that a sign? Her eyes almost pops out of her head and lifts her hands in front of her. She had refused to do a pregnancy test earlier.
'I cannot believe it! You lost our child in a game!'
He just laughs at her and puts his hands over her waist, bringing her closer to him.
'It's not that serious, love. It's a pretty good name. Koray is in fact a beautiful name.'
'Yes, it is a beautiful name,' she sighs and leans onto him, her mind going one hundred miles per hour. 'But think about it a little, he'll have Koray's name, and that'll seal his fate! He'll stay glued to the baby all day long. He will not leave this house! I swear, he'll be with him the whole day, you know! He already does it with Iso, he's always with him, he it's like he wants to replace his mother.' She knew she wasn't making much sense.
Ömer just nods his head and watches her go off in the way only Defne does, probably not quite sure why she was making a big deal out of that.
'All right, darling. But you have nothing to worry, the first baby will definitely be Sinan's. This matter does not concern us.'
Why was he saying that? What did he know? 'Why...why do you say that?'Â
'Well, do you not see how much he wants to have a baby?' Oh, that was why...
She looked over his shoulder for a second, bites her lower lip and asks him slowly '...and you do not? I mean, you dont want to?'
He tilts his head and asks her, 'what do you mean me? I don't want to what?'
