Tangy Manhattan

Chapter 3 : End of the song.

"Yes, officer? I am Hazal Bulut. What do you want?, asked Hazal nervously. 

" We are here to look for Mr. Ozan Bulut. Please call him. ", said officer. 

" What? But Why? Where's he? What happened? "
" Calm down, Hazal. We'll learn  now. ", Kaan patted Hazal's shoulder & consoled her. 

"He beat up one man in the market at noon. A constable caught him but he managed to run away. We are here to take him with us.", officer informed. 

"What? That's not Ozan. You are mistaken. He's with our baby at my mommy's. I'll call him now. 
Mindy, bring my cell please."

You may call whomever you want but we are getting in. He's charged with assaulting a man & a police constable. ", officer added as he stepped in. 

"Wait! I'm a lawyer. You can't just get in like this. Do you have a search warrant?". asked Hazal while trying to prevent the officers from stepping forward. 

"Here you go, Miss. Now let us do our job.", officer said firmly after showing the warrant to Hazal. 

"but…" 

"Hazal, just call Ozan or auntie.", Kaan weighed in. 

Hazal called Ozan many times and the outcome was nothing but unattended calls. Police kept on searching the whole house and the mess was doubled now. Maybe, this was frustrating Hazal more than the real situation because she was trying to tidy the house from last two weeks. 

"Hello Mommy! Where's Ozan?", asked Hazal restlessly. 

"He's not here. He left Ali with me at noon and haven't come back yet. Is everything alright, sweetie?"

"Yeah. No. I'll call you back.", Hazal hung up. 

Mindy and Kaan were trying to calm her down. Hazal was roaming in the lounge trying to think straight and figure out the way out of this as soon as possible. 

"Mindy, can you go & pick Ali? Thank you! 
Kaan, we should go to the station and Leyla, you you're not going home tonight. Call your mom and feed Ali when he comes."

Hazal & Kaan followed the police. Mindy left to pick Ali. Leyla locked the doors. 

"Ms. Mindy", Leyla said. 

"Ms. Mindy", Leyla rubbed Mindy's shoulder slightly as she was taking a nap on sofa with Ali in her lap. 

"hmmm?", Mindy asked with closed eyes. 

"Mr. Kaan is waiting for you outside.", Leyla answered. 

Mindy opened her eyes immediately. "Are they back?", she asked. 

"No, it's just Mr. Kaan. He's waiting for you in his car.", said Leyla. 

"Maybe he came to pick me too. 
Here, hold Ali.", Mindy got up, tied her hair, buttoned up her shirt and went outside. 

"Hey dermo!", Mindy smiled. 

"Hello handsome!", Kaan replied in sarcastic tone taking off his sun glasses while getting out of his car. 
And his charisma was everything Mindy needed right now. 

This was a moment of pause for Mindy. 
All of us have such moments, where nature becomes static and humans motionless. We are never prepared for it. We just know about it when it happens. The same happened with Mindy. She was so ready for her next fling  or maybe more this time. It was like this moment of pause had kidnapped her and she didn't know the way out. She was completely under Kaan's spell. The sunlight had brightened his face as if nature were tricking Mindy into Kaan's charm. Such moments could be of 0.001 seconds in real but the person living it, lives it infinite time more.
