Sadece Sev - Reyem Fanfic

Chapter 10 - Space

"Reyhan?" Emir's eyes fixated on Ilker's hands. What the hell is happening?! What is he doing?!

A creepy professor, that he had known from his past was giving his wife a necklace. A diamond necklace, but that wasn't the point. The point was - why did Ilker think he had the right to give Reyhan a gift. Emir frowned and walked towards Reyhan and Ilker with his right hand in a fist.

He was trying not to overreact to spoil Reyhan's happiness at the conference, but it was impossible not to.
Yes, there is more to what meets the eye, but to Emir any man standing too close to his wife that wasn't him deserved a sucker punch.

Reyhan's heart was pounding, she had hoped there was a reasonable explanation for Ilker's random act of kindness. She saw the anger in Emir's eyes as he walked towards them. She had not seen him like this since before their wedding.

"What's going on? Reyhan are you okay?"
He pulled her so that she was standing behind him and held her hand tightly.

"Oh Emir Tarhun, it has been a good few years" Ilker responded holding his arm out for a handshake.

Professor Ilker knows Emir? She was confused.

"I didn't know you were married" he muttered with a smirk to Reyhan, she felt embarrassed and nervous. She knew she didn't do anything wrong, but the situation had caused tension. Why did he give me the necklace? Oh, Allah please don't let this turn into anything worse!

"Yes she is married, she is my wife. Reyhan Tarhun. And as a professor that is none of your business Ilker Yilmaz" Emir raised his voice, which made Reyhan anxious as he was causing a scene, he rightfully rejected his handshake and scowled at him.

Ilker responded with a laugh, "I'm sorry for you to misunderstand. I like to reward my students who work hard, Reyhan is one of them. This is just tradition, nothing more" his creepy voice sounded like spikes in Reyhan's ears. She had never noticed how eerie his tone of voice was, especially when he was teaching, only now he had completely changed.

"It's okay I don't need the necklace, thank you" Reyhan intervened.

"Do not misunderstand my wife as anything more than a hardworking student. She will not accept any gift. I will never accept history repeating itself, do you understand?!" It sounded like a threat, Emir's tone of voice, his angry eyes, his fist clenching.

Is history repeating itself? What does that mean? Reyhan prayed in her head that he would not hit him. After all, he was her professor and she needed her grades for the year, he had chosen her for the conference. Maybe it was a tradition? But inappropriate!

"I apologize, Emir. Do not misunderstand this. It is just a tradition. I apologise. Do not get me wrong. I will leave now, it was good to see you. Say hi to your father"

Is this fool trying to provoke me!?

Ilker's demeanour seemed to change the moment he heard Emir's threats, he was a smart man, cunning and sly and knew that if he angered Emir anymore most likely it would cause a fight. He had to protect his image at the conference as some of the students were already starting to watch and point when Emir raised his voice.

"Reyhan hanim, I apologise. See you at the dinner tonight hopefully!" He smiled at a nervous little Reyhan who nodded in response and turned to her husband as Ilker walked away.

"What was that about? You know him?" She questioned, looking at Emir's angry eyes who were now focused on her.

"Yes- I do, he is a creep! What kind of professor gives gifts to his students?! It is inappropriate, you are married! He is an idiot, a disrespectful one!"
