Emir said "In spite of all the love we couldn't live together, just one misunderstanding destroyed us.
Farewell" He turned to leave with a heavy heart which was difficult for him to hold, he feared his eyes would give away more than what he said.
Feriha had read his eyes; she said "I said no"
"Emir" she called him "we are at the same place where we started, are you with me?"
Emir couldn't stop himself, he turned and ran to her, to hold her, to feel her and more than that, to feel himself again. He hugged her tightly as if he was hugging his life back. He couldn't stop himself, tears rolled down. He closed his eyes to feel what it was like to live again, breathe again. He kissed her hair. He smelled her, that smell that he missed everyday of these 3 years.
Feriha felt like she was back home. His chest on which her head rested in good and bad times was back again. He was back. She closed her eyes to feel him. It was him who made her complete. It was him who was answer to all of her loneliness. She hugged him really tight. She had finally held her life back.
They kept crying.
After all these years of longing and yearning they were finally together and they did not want to miss any moment of it.
Feriha looked up at Emir and wiped his tears, "Emir". Emir cut her short "don't say anything" and he held out his hand like he always did and feriha slipped her hand in his and smiled back. Emir held tightened his grip on her hand and pulled it closer to kiss their hands.
They walked back towards their apartment,. While waiting for the lift feriha looked downstairs, emir looked at her with reassuring look ' everything will be fine'.
They went inside the lift and in the mirror when they saw themselves, they looked at each other and smiled' they were together again'. The mirror looked familiar.
Emir opened the apartment, he didn't let go of feriha's hand even once. When apartment opened, feriha tightened the grip on emir's hand and started to cry silently. Emir had also come here after 3 long years, after that fateful night. Feriha stepped in it first, emir followed. They looked all around; all the memories came back to them. Feriha caressed the walls, every part of the house had their stories written and she could feel them all. Emir turned towards her "you asked me, why was the apartment still alive"
Feriha nodded "now I Know"
"Come sit". They sat on the sofa.
Feriha started searching for the blood stain that she had tried so hard to clean but the stain remained. She found that stain and said " your blood stain"
"That night" emir said with sardonic smile.
She looked around and asked him "did you come here...after..."looking at him enquiringly
"No. This house was for you I couldn't step in it alone"
She leaned on his shoulders. "That anger, that hatred, that feeling of being cheated is all gone. That dilemma I lived with everyday is all gone", he listened to her intently, she was mirroring her emotions.
"Every night I tossed on bed searching for you and your smell on the pillow, and in the morning all I had was hatred', his eyes welled up " every day I kept searching for the reason, why did you leave me like that" he choked;
She hugged him tightly "will you be able to forgive me?"
"There is a lot to talk feriha, a lot.."
"Yes"
"let live this moment" he leaned back on the sofa, head tilted on feriha's head and feriha rested her head on emir's shoulder and they closed their eyes, feeling each other's presence.
