Don't Leave

Chapter 21 (Blood everywhere)

Hayat held Murat's hands to take to the bathroom.

Murat wondered: Hayat.. what are you doing.

She didn't answer, unzipping his shirt's buttons, and put it on the washing machine.

Then she started washing his face without looking at him.

Murat quiered: Hayat.. Can you tell me what are you doing?

She tangled his hand again, then went to their bedroom, so he give up.

Then she opened the wardobe door and came with his night clothes, a green blouse; in addition to, she let him stand infront of the mirror holding the hairbrush to brush his hair.

He turned to her after she is done, then started: Hayat..

She put her hand on his mouth, drawling: Shhh...  Now you have to forget everything you saw yesterday and today.. Alright?

Murat argued: Alright but..

She raised her finger: Don't blame yourself for anything that happened to Savaş.. If you exchanged roles for one day.. you would do the same thing for him.

He wondered: But how did you know about blaming myself.

Hayat's eyes twinkled: Is there anything else? Besides, I am your wife, my handsome yaaaaa.

His mouth curved into a smile: Oh Hayat yaaa.. What are you doing now?

She giggled: Goal yaaa.. he is smiling. *She jumped around him* Murat Sarsilmaz is laughing now!

He was concerned: Hayat.. Is Savaş alright really?

Hayat: come with me.

She took his jamd and sat on their bed.

Murat put his head on her chest, then she put her hand on his face, supporting her head on his.

Hayat assured: He is okay.. he will be.. Can you just don't think about anything except me?

He held her hands: what can I do without you, Hayat?

Hayat corrected: But what can I do without you Murat? Without you, I am nothing.

The corners of his eyes crinkled: But I am without you nothing. Thanks for everything you did for me and for Savaş.. I was so scared. I was scared if something bad happened to him.. I cannot hold losing anyone else.. The pain I hold for my sister didn't pass yet.. I am so scared, Hayat.. Savaş's look doesn't leave my mind; he was so terrified... He was hanged meters above the ground and restricted with chains.. There was blood everywhere. There were curses all over his back.. and...

Hayat put her hands on his eyes: Alright.. It eneded.. Don't think about anything now.. You can just look at the bright side that his lifetime friend is okay *she raised her hands* and I am with you now, never leaving, but I want to ask you for something.

Murat raised his head towards her: What?

Hayat simply answered: To share with me your worries, and don't share it with anyone.. even if I am part of the problem, alright? If you want to cry, cry between my arms.. If you want to scream scream at me.. If you want to be sad, share with me your sadness.. if you want to smile, smile with me.. If you want happiness, I will make you happy, but don't leave like that without assuring me, alright?

He kissed her lips once she ended with her words, and she responded to his quick and light kisses.

He finally splitted from her, whispering: I promise

She blushed, with smiling: I promise you too.

After two hours, Murat woke up to find Hayat's hair tufts under his chins as she was sleeping on his chest while tangling her hands with his. He slipped his hands quietly and grabbed a pillow to put it below Hayat's head, then he sneaked up to Savaş's room, then he asked Nazli to go sleep on the coach, giving her a planket, promising he will take care of him.
