Mrs. Kurtulus...

He said Mrs. Kurtulus....

He knew...

He remembered...

She stared at him, panicked and scared...

Overwhelmed with emotions...

Because she wasn't prepared for this confrontation... wasn't ready to face the reality of their past and present relationship...

Didn't know if there even was a relationship....

His words from last night...calling her beautiful... saying they looked good together...

She hadn't believed it. Had thought he was mostly trying to pacify her for feeling inadequate next to Efsun...

Now, it seemed he had said all that while knowing the truth....

How did he remember?

What else did he remember?

She gaped at him... so unsure of what to do or say...

She needed to escape... needed time to think... needed time to figure out a way to handle this...without giving him any hope... any false affirmations...

She only reached a few steps before he caught hold of her arm and twisted her around to face him.

"Hayir..." he declared out of breath, his jaw clenching as he tightened his grip. "We need to talk..." he said forcefully...his look urgent and imploring...

She shook her head... not really in a state to talk about anything...

"We have to...we need to...I....I remember some things..." he admitted softly. Again, she shook her head.

Lowering her head to hide the tears filling her eyes.

He gently pulled her closer to him... his hand reaching out to touch her jaw... delicately lifting her lowered head to meet his eyes.

She still refrained from meeting his eyes...

"You're the only one who can help me..." he whispered softly... her eyes lifted to meet his... anguish and sincerity visible in his...
