Kader Oyunu

Carpe diem.

Kerem stares at Zeynep.
Her beauty is a pleasure to his eyes.
He turn on the music. Ferdi Tayfur's song comes on the radio: " Bende Özledim Bende" .

Zeynep turns her gaze and smiles to him.

K: Do you like the song, dear?
Z: Yes! Is Selin aunt's favorite song.
K: Ah really ? ( he gets excited)
My uncle used to listen to it every day, it was his favorite too.
Z: It was ? He...? I'm so sorry.
( said she with a sad voice)
K: it's ok. It was a long time ago. Please, don't be saddened by this, you look better smiling.
Zeynep blushes.
K: I bet that many boys could die for your smile.
I'm so lucky to have that.
Z: You won my smile. It's not that easy for everyone ( ironically laughs)
K: True. You are the most desirable woman in the town, you knew that?
Z: So you chosen me because a lot of men  wishes to have me ? ( rolls her eyes)
K: What? No! Don't talk nonsense.
Z: Then why you chosen me?
K: I  haven't found that innocent spark in any woman's eyes. I didn't find a woman to warm my whole body with the magic of her smile.
I didn't feel before what I felt when I saw you.
I told you, It was love at the first sight.
Well my sight, then you didn't see me. ( laughs )
You are the only woman who has won my heart,
future Ms. Baysal. ( smiles )
Z: So your heart belongs to me.
Zeynep smiles at him and caresses his right hand.
Immediately Kerem takes her hand and kisses her.
K: Fully, my dear.
( he smiles and kisses again her hand)

They get to the place where the party is being held.
Kerem gets out of the car and open the door for his beautiful Zeynep.
He gives the keys to a waiter to park the car.
Holding his lady's hand, they heads for the entrance.

A: Kerem you're here. Welcome!
K: Thanks, Ayhan! Congrats for your brother.
Aa, dear he is my best friend, Ayhan.
We grew up together.
A: You look so good together. I swear!
K: Thank you, thank you. ( smiling)

Zeynep wants to shake hands with Ayhan, but he grabs her hand and kisses her.
She blushed in a second, and turns her gaze to Kerem. He don't like his friend's gesture and gives him a rather ugly look.
The bride and groom come to welcoming them.
Zeynep & Kerem congrats the couple and then they are led to their table.

*Kerem introduces Zeynep to most of his friends.*
• • •
Bride and groom dance. Everyone invite their partners to dance.
Kerem reaches out and says:

K: Ms. Zeynep, may I have this dance ?
( raising his eyebrows)
Z: A, I don't know how to dance. ( she blushes))
K: Don't worry, I don't know either. Give me your hand, we'll handle it. ( smiles)

Zeynep accepts. Gives him her hand and stands up.
He grabs her waist with his other hand, and pulls her  very close to him with a gentle move.
She put her other hand around his shoulder.
They stares into each other's eyes for a few good minutes.
Kerem approaches, gently touches her cheek with his cheek and whispers to her:

K: You are more beautiful than the bride. Trust me!
( Zeynep smiles and roll her eyes. )

He pulls back and looks at her face admiring her.
