Lara's boutique:
Hande came to lara's boutique to collect the dresses that she had ordered. lara had successfully taken forward toulin's boutique and hande maintained her loyalty with the boutique.
"hi lara" lara was at the working table, completing a design.
"hi hande, how are you? I was waiting for you. Your dress is ready"
"I am good."
Cansu had forgotten her keys, so she dropped at lara's boutique to get the key. "lara" cansu said and recognized immediately hande.
"hande! what a surprise!. How are you?"
"I am good cansu, how are you?"
"I am good too"
"how's your hotel doing?"
"good. Especially after feriha relented to renew the contract of night', I am really happy"
Lara left to get hande's dress and mumbled in her breath emir and feriha club' and gave a sardonic smile.
"feriha agreed? Are you sure?"
"yes, we finished the formality yesterday."
"So that means they are back together" hande deduced
"I feel so. Though they have'nt told me anything. But I've spotted them together and Emir probably has shifted to aksoy apartment.
"that's interesting" hande's face lit up." I need to see somebody then"
Lara came with the dress, " hande your dress"
"I'll come again for that, I need to go now. see you"
"okay bye" "what happened to her she left so hurriedly?" asked lara to cansu
"I told her about emir and feriha"
"oh! Now I know!"
Emir at hotel:
Emir was planning the day and at the top of his list was ece. He was sure it was right thing to part with ece, after the recent happenings. It would complicate and now he wanted to live peacefully with feriha.
Emir called ece
"hi ece"
"yes emir"
"can you come to club today. I have something important to talk to you"
"okay, I'll be there in sometime" She answered.
Ece kept the phone down and wondered about the meeting. Emir's voice did not give away much though. After yavuz's rejection , she wanted to stay by emir's side. If working together works, then let it be that way, but it was a bit surprising the way he moved out of the house. That day he was a different man, he was very distant, she couldn't recognize him. may be he has patched up with feriha, but I might've heard by now that they are together anyways lets see and try to retain the job for now' thought she.
Emir called his accounts manager "we have to settle Ms. Ece's accounts today, work it out and keep it ready"
"yes Mr.Emir"
Mehmet came and spoke to emir "we are starting back again. Its good, congratulations"
"thanks" emir nodded, patted his back and left.
Mehmet then went to feriha's room, he knocked at the door levent opened the door.
"Where is she?" asked Mehmet rudely
"Who are you talking about?"
"you know"
"she is your sister Mehmet"
"I know" he looked at him angrily
"she does not stay here anymore"
"then where is she?" he asked a bit softly
"you can find out yourself in the reception"
Mehmet had a surprised look on his face.
He went back to the door of night'
Ece came to the club, Mehmet greeted her good morning'
Ece went past him hurriedly without acknowledging him.
Mehmet mumbed'weird'
Ece saw emir sitting on the bar stool and talking to one of the employee. She went to him "hi emir"
Emir turned on hearing her greet, "hi ece"
"so it looks like we are restarting"
"yes ece, nights' is restarting from today" and he looked around the club
"good .so tell me how are we starting?"
"ece, nights' is restarting, but after a lot of contemplation I believe, we should part ways"
"so this is the condition on which your ex-wife has relented to reopen night'" taunting emir
"ece!" emir said angrily to shut her up
"I understand , your work comes first" with mellowed down voice
"ece, you can settle your accounts with the manager" and emir got up to leave
"emir, after so much this is all I get, I have also worked hard for this and you"
"ece, I have not forgotten anything" and he left, emir signalled the accounts manager to go to ece and settle her accounts with night'
Ece after settling her accounts, came out of the club and said to Mehmet " your sister is way too clever than she looks. How many men she has in her pocket"
"ece, mind your tongue"
"ask your sister" and she left angrily.
Mehmet wondered whats going on? Oh god"
While ece left the club, hande was walking towards the club. She saw her and said" oh! Ms. Ece" she quickly glanced at her ring finger" sans engagement ring. It looks like your hairstyle couldn't save the ring on your hand" hande said with a sarcastic smile on her face
She got a bit closer and said" I told you, their patience won't last long." Ece gave a disgruntled look
"Ece games don't help" hande said looking sharply in her eyes." I don't pity you though" hande left , ece looked back at her and said angrily "we will see"
Ece was at the reception, she enquired about feriha "ma'am feriha
Ma'am is in the accounts section downstairs"
Ece went to accounts section of the hotel, looking for feriha's cabin, ece knocked and entered the cabin
"you are very smart feriha"
"what are you doing here ece? I don't think we have anything to talk"
"yes, you talk through emir with me. Let me tell you the game has not ended yet. Remember my words"
"ece please leave my cabin"
Ece left the room angrily and banged the door, the vibrations of which could be felt by feriha.
Lunch time riza house:
Zehra served lunch on the table zehra, riza and omer ate the lunch quietly. After finishing lunch riza praised zehra for the good lunch
"god bless your hands, zehra"
"thank you riza"
Omer got up from the table and went into their bedroom
Zehra gave riza napkin to dry his hands infront of the bathroom when riza while patting dry his hands said slowly to zehra "call your daughter zehra"and he left quietly without looking into zehra's eyes. Zehra also avoided his eyes and hid her smile. She hurriedly went to the kitchen and she broke into a wide smile, her daughter may finally find way to home.
Emir around lunch time went downstairs looking for feriha. He found her in the cabin lost in thoughts.
"what are you thinking?" he went towards her, she got up too and they hugged each other
"nothing"
"don't hide anything feriha, I can see something is troubling you" he ran his hand on her face and moved his thumb over her forehead smoothening the worry lines on her forehead.
"there is nothing to worry . what happened with ece"
"I've settled all her accounts and the chapter is closed"
"I don't know how much is that chapter closed that girl worries me, her ways are quite difficult to discern." Said feriha quite absorbed in her worries
"what do you want to say" emir asked her a bit concerned, when feriha's phone rang, she came out of her reverie and looked at phone "mom" she exclaimed
Emir asked her to pick up
"hello feriha"
"hello mom"
"feriha your father has asked you to come home" zehra said excitedly
Feriha broke into wide smile
"I'll come" feriha couldn't believe
"emir did you hear dad has called me home" she hugged him tightly "everything will be fine now I know" emir told her reassuringly. He kissed her hair. "let's go" he held her hand and stopped to kiss her.

On the way to etleir in the car:
Feriha was lost in her thoughts. Emir kept glancing at her from corner of his eyes.
"feriha" she tapped out of her reverie "yes"
You are alright"
She nodded yes "just a bit anxious"
Emir pulled the car in the car park of the apartment turned to her and said" I don't know much how you feel but I know this is important for you and I respect that emotion you have"
She kept looking ahead and said "emir my relation with my dad is a bit different. His belief and my belief differ a lot. I don't know how much we understand each other, but he is my father and I love him. His presence in my life is important"
Emir touched her hand and patted it lightly "come, let's go"
They went till the staircase, and then feriha looked at the staircase spiralling down and then looked back at emir. Emir kept his hand on her back and said" I am upstairs. I'll wait till you call me"
Feriha descended down and emir went upstairs. Feriha knocked the door." I am coming" called zehra from inside
Zehra opened the door and feriha stepped in. "he is inside. I'll call him" she went in the bedroom, and sat next to riza. She said softly" riza she has come, be patient with her "and she got up. Riza raised his hand and said "don't worry"
Riza got out of the bedroom and zehra followed behind him
Feriha kept looking at her father's face. Zehra signalled her to come forward and kiss his hand.
Feriha followed the cue and went to reach his hand, when riza asked her to sit on the sofa.
Feriha looked at her mom and zehra blinked her eyes to remain quiet.
Feriha sat on one sofa and riza and zehra on the other sofa.
Riza said" feriha , I forgave for your acts in the past even if they were against what I believed. You betrayed my trust many times as a daughter. You lied, you ran away, you secretly married, and now you left your husband behind and went with another man. Any explanation that you give me will not absolve you of your acts. But yes this is also true that you are my daughter and somewhere in what you did I am responsible"
"dad...I"
Riza stopped her in between
"it is difficult for us to understand each other. But that does not mean that you can't live under this roof" and he extended his hand for her to kiss. Feriha happily kissed his hand and her mom's hand.
"I can stay here?" she asked again hesitatingly
Riza nodded "yes"
Feriha went to her room; zehra entered the room as well behind her. They hugged each other. Feriha closed her eyes to feel her mom. She felt as if her mother's protective wings were back again on her and tears rolled down relieving her of all the pain she faced in all these years alone.
Zehra tightened her grip on her and wiped her tears" don't cry my life. Don't cry" then she caressed her back and said rest a little while and went outside closing the door behind.
Feriha sat on her bed, how much she missed this room, and then suddenly it struck her to call emir.
Emir was waiting impatiently on the chair in the apartment. He kept glancing at the phone and kept rolling it between his fingertips. All sorts of thoughts were coming to his mind, once he thought of calling or buzzing from the apartment but then he calmed himself down it was better to wait.
Feriha messaged emir"everything is fine. I'll be staying here. You can go to hotel. I will try to call you in the night"
Emir read the message and relaxed a bit and left the apartment for hotel.
Mehmet saw today feriha leaving with emir out of hotel
In the night, feriha was waiting for emir. She would peep out of the window every time a car parked outside. Then her phone rang, she whispered "yes emir"
"Are you sleeping?"
"No I was waiting for you"
"Can you come out, is it possible?" she opened the door and looked around "okay. I am coming"
Feriha sneaked out of the house, kept the door ajar, checked for the key below the basket and then closed the door behind her and left.
She hurriedly went upstairs; emir was waiting near the stairs. He smiled at her and she was delighted to see him. They hugged each other, and then emir said "let's go to the park and talk"
At the park bench:
They sat next to each other on the bench "I was a bit worried"
"There wasn't anything to worry"
"How was he?"
"It is not that, that we've traversed the bridge built between us. He is yet not ready to walk that road. It will take some time for us to talk. But for now I am back in the house. The time will heal us. His wounds are still fresh"
He wrapped his hand around her shoulder and she leaned her head on him "when it is dad it is difficult" she said
"you know how much I've been betrayed by my dad still when he says son I want to talk to you I can't say no. I listen to him. It's very complicated for me"
They were quite then, holding and giving strength to each other. Feriha then saw a familiar figure coming; it was Mehmet she exclaimed "Mehmet" emir turned and saw Mehmet coming.
"Feriha you go"
Feriha left and reached the apartment door before Mehmet
Mehmet saw her and said sarcastically "so you are back, where are you staying this time"
"Mehmet" she said "ask me what you want to ask?"
"You are biggest puzzle to me. When you came you were with teacher, hand in hand and now I see you with emir"
I am here in the house with mom and dad"
"What? How did they let you in?"
"That's my house as well, they are my mom and dad and you are my brother don't forget that"
"It's you who forgot all this while running with teacher"
"I did not run away with him. He was leaving and I was going too it just happened that we left together"
"And you stayed with him for 3 years leaving your husband behind, you divorced him. But why will you think all this. You do what you like. you then appear after 3 years send the teacher to pacify us before coming, but let me tell you, your games work with mom and dad not me"
"Send teacher! I did not send him"
"You don't know what your partner does?"
"He is not my partner. He never was, he was always a friend"
"Then what were you doing in his room? If he was your friend did he not care to tell you that by running away you committing a mistake? He was justifying your acts!" Mehmet eyes were red with anger and voice loud
Emir was watching them from a distance, sensing trouble he walked up to them
"Mehmet' emir said
emir you keep out of all this" said Mehmet " you can let go of what she has done, but I cannot" he asked her" did you once think of dad"
"Mehmet control! Go inside"
Feriha went in but Mehmet stayed out.

Part 11:
Feriha came back into her room seething in anger she started to pace the room back and forth, mehmet's words still echoing in her ears " send teacher to justify your acts"
Levent visited her house, without her knowledge and did not tell her anything. He shouldn't have done this. Then she sat on her bed pensively. He was only a friend but he was trespassing. He has no right to come between me and my family' she was hurt and she was seeing through this another levent, a man probably she didn't know of, a man emir always hated.
She heard the click of the door, perhaps Mehmet returned.
She found it hard to sleep. Myriad of thoughts were running through her head. A message flashed on her mobile, it was emir's message "everything fine?"
"yes! Don't worry. Everything is fine you are still awake?"
"can't sleep, you are not there, my bed is empty" She smiled "I miss you and love you"
"I love you and miss you too"
"Goodnight"
"good night"
Next day morning at the breakfast table
Everybody sat at the table, riza asked zehra to call feriha also for the breakfast.
Mehmet said "dad! how can you let her stay in the house? How can you forgive her?"
"Mehmet I know what I am doing?"
"forgiving her is forgiving seher also dad"
Zehra said "Mehmet! There is a difference between feriha and seher."
Zehra knocked on feriha's door "feriha! Feriha"
"coming"
When Mehmet saw feriha coming, he got up from the breakfast table and left the house banging the door angrily behind. Zehra motioned feriha to sit on the table and she went behind Mehmet.
She called "Mehmet ! Mehmet!"
"mom, how can you let her stay here you know what she has done. What is the difference between her and seher. I throw seher out of the house and we welcome feriha? They both ranaway leaving their husband's behind"
"Mehmet ! she did not cheat her husband is all I can say"
"she came hand in hand with another man after 3 years.."
"Mehmet there is more to it than what met our eyes. Calm down and then we will talk"
"You can be fooled with her story I can't be"
Zehra did not say anything, she realized he needed some time to talk, she sensed his hurt was not only because of feriha it was also seher and he was not able to separate it.
After eating breakfast feriha told her mom that she had to go to hotel for work, zehra nodded and asked when will you be back "in the evening" she answered
Feriha went to her room to get ready to leave when zehra came to her room " feriha , I want to ask you something about emir"
"yes mom"
"Your misunderstandings are cleared, right?"
"right" then she went to her and said hesitatingly "mom, we want to get married again"
Zehra looked at her finger ring
"so this is that ring?
Feriha nodded "yes"
Zehra looked at her and asked her "are you sure about this?"
"we were never more sure than this"
She sat on the bed "I would like to meet him before I talk with your father"
"ok"
"today evening?"
Zehra nodded "ok"
Feriha hugged her tightly happily "thank you"
Zehra patted her back smilingly "my lovely daughter"
Feriha then left home changing her shoes
Once on the stairs she called emir "yes feriha"
"I am leaving for hotel"
"I am ready too. Wait for me"
They both went together in the car
In the car
"Emir I told mom, that we want to marry" emir nodded with a faint smile "she wants to meet you today in the evening"
"ok, in the evening we meet."
Feriha remained quite and emir noticed her silence "why are you so silent? Anything is troubling you?"
"no, nothing much"
He pulled the car in the hotel and gave the car keys to the doorkeeper to park his car.
Feriha said" ok, so see you"
"see you" emir realised something was not right , feriha was disturbed but he didn't probe her much and went to the club.
Feriha searched for levent in the hotel and found out he was at the swimming pool
Levent was sitting on the pool chair, pensive. He was perturbed with the recent happenings. Feriha had gone so far away; he couldn't reach her at all. All his efforts to close on the distance were futile.
Feriha saw him sitting there and walked upto him, anger lurking in her eyes.
"mr. levent" levent turned towards the familiar voice . He rose from the chair to face her.
"why did you do that? " levent remained quite waiting for her to talk
"what do you think you were doing when you went to meet my dad and Mehmet"
"I did what I felt right" answered levent
"right. All you thought was what you felt right and you did that. Did I ever ask you to justify me infront of them? You went there without my knowledge and did not bother to tell me. You humiliated me in front of my family" she said looking into his eyes.
"I wanted to help you, I know they are important to you and they should know the truth"
"Mr. levent, this is between me and my family, why are you trying to come between us. You had no right to go there and to defend me"
"I had all the right to go there.Do I have to remind you with what right I went there"
"Did I ever gave you this right Mr. levent. You were never more than a friend, you know it very well. Don't try to claim a place in my life that was never yours. You are trying to force yourself"
"yes. I tried to find a place in your life "
"you always knew the answer. When you asked me it was night, look this is day and see for yourself the truth." She turned to leave and found emir standing near the enterance of the swimming pool, she went to him held his hand and looked at levent.

part 12:

Feriha acknowledged with her eyes emir to levent. She wasn't the same feriha who had walked with him to the engagement party, she was the feriha who he had known before they left 3 years ago, she was the feriha he had fallen in love with. The hard lines on her face had softened. The girl that he lived with for past 3 years wore a mask, used make up to hide her true self and here she was sans makeup, sans mask, the real feriha. He sensed his real place in her life.
Emir was quietly reading levent for the first time. He did not look like the guy who came in the engagement party with feriha, he looked like a man who had lost all battles. He felt no need to fight , he could see he was accepting his defeat.
Levent did not look at Emir. If he looked at him he would reflect his thoughts, the truth and he did not want to see his defeat in Emir's eyes. Levent walked past them.
Emir turned to look at leaving levent but feriha looked straight ahead. She did not want to look at him.
Emir tugged feriha's hand to leave, when feriha turned to him and said "you were right about him"
Emir wrapped his hand around her arm and then they walked towards the club. Feriha was going through emotional turmoil that she found hard to describe.
At the door of the club Mehmet was standing. He saw Emir and feriha approaching. Feriha was lost in her thoughts and held onto Emir absent mindedly. Mehmet greeted emir and looked t visibly disturbed feriha, she failed to notice Mehmet and followedEmir in the club.
At the club, they sat on the bar stools, emir asked for coffee.
Feriha said I don't know what to say. I feel cheated. I trusted a wrong man all along. How could I do that?" and she closed her eyes with her palm.
"feriha you know the truth, that's important. Its past now"
When they were drinking their coffee, hande came. As she entered the club she saw emir and feriha sitting from behind the wooden partition. She smiled looking at them. she walked up to them and said"so you both found each other again"
Emir turned "hande!"
"even if you hide I know it"
"nothing can escape you"
Feriha composed herself and turned to hande "what is it feriha? I thought you would be very happy"
"don't I look like' and she smiled.
"now you look. I saw captain leaving hurriedly the hotel, I called him but he did not notice me"
"truth is bitter and he drank the bitter potion now" Feriha said
"truth had to come out one day. How long would he continue to take advantage of your naivety"
"you knew?"
Hande just gave a knowing smile. "anyways won't you guys treat me with coffee"
Emir called for another coffee and the three friends chatted happily.
"okay guys see you soon !" and hande left
"I should be working Emir"
"yes"
"bye see you" emir waved his hand and feriha left.
Hande was standing infront of the hotel, when she saw koray standing across. Hande turned immediately and started to walk away. Koray ran behind her and held her arm.
"hande! What are you doing. Stop for once"
"what are you doing koray. Why do you want to talk to me. All you will tell me about your divorce but I don't want to be in any relationship with you.'
Koray came infront of her "Hande, look at me and say you don't love me anymore"
Hande jerked haer hand away and started to leave. Koray said "run as far away as you want to, you can never stop loving me" Koray put both his hand behind his head in despair. All he wanted was to win her back.
In the evening in the car on the way back home , feriha and emir remained quite. Then feriha remembered that mom had asked to meet emir." Emir should I call mom that we are reaching"
He nodded
"mom we are reaching in 5 minutes"
"I will see you in the park" said zehra
Feriha looked at Emir and asked "are you nervous? "
"what do you think?"
Feriha smiled. Emir said "for the first time I meet your mom for asking her daughter for marriage, what do you expect?"
They laughed.
Zehra , Emir and Feriha in the park:
Emir and feriha were waiting near the bench in the park. Zehra was coming towards them. Feriha looked at emir and held his hand "don't worry. I am there"
When zehra came close feriha slipped out her hand. Emir greeted zehra on seeing her , zehra acknowledged it by bending her head a bit. She was meeting Emir first time like this. her face couldn't hide the myriad of emotions she was going through. She said " I know you want to marry feriha again, but before that I want to tell you something, we have been quite unfair to you in the past. Then the misunderstanding that you shared was not easy for you and feriha, will you be able to leave behind what she lived and did to you and live a happy life? Its not easy to forget the hurt that you shared. Will your love be strong enough to hold the tide that lies ahead, because life is not bed of roses its good and bad times together, its only with love, trust and understanding you can fight all tough times and enjoy good times."
I know you say that because we couldn't live together before. But I promise you our love is beyond all said. It can tide over everything."
Zehra nodded and said "I wanted to be just sure about this." then she looked at feriha and said " I will talk to your father tonight" feriha happily hugged her mother and emir stood behind feriha and broke into a faint smile.
Levent in the night:
Levent wanted to escape the lights of the city, he headed to the sea shore in the night. Sea was dark in the moonless night. He sat on the shore, listening to the sounds of sea. The sound of waves unleashed his inner turmoil. The crashing of the waves mimicked his heart breaking into pieces.
many years back I left home to break away from the shackles that were suffocating me. I couldn't breathe. At sea I found the freedom I was looking for. I travelled like a bird till I reached Istanbul and came face to face with love. i didn't realise when I started to yearn for those shackles again. I was pulled towards it. I loved her selflessly. I wanted to protect her and see her happy . but in this pursuit , I became selfish. I started to yearn to spend my life with her, but in all this I forgot I always loved her with a shadow. She was complete with that man. I found her because of him. Even with me, she lived with him, she was never mine.'
Then he desperately tried to hold the dry sand in his hand every time he held it, the sand slipped away. No matter how tight he held it, it slipped away leaving behind traces of sand once held. He knew he had to let her go. She will always remain like traces of sand in his hand in his life. None can take her place.

Thanks a lot Smriti 😊 This is how Levant should have been portrayed in the serial too...atleast till this part of your story, he maintained his dignity.
You write beautifully with great imagination and clarity ! Please Continue in the same vein 😊

Smiriti ,i really admire your writing skills . You gave Levant's character graceful exit which he deserved . Makers caricatured his character to the lowest when he kissed Feriha , his last attempt out of desperation when you knew all along that in last three years she was pining for only Emir . This kind of act didn't gelled with Levant of starting . Thank you .

part 13:
In the evening at the boutique
Toulin was in the town so aysun had come to boutique to meet her and ofcourse she also wanted to order an outfit.
Toulin was making some designs and lara was in the tow, telling her about the business, when aysun entered.
"hi toulin , how are you lara?"
"Hi Aysun" toulin answered with a smile and Lara replied back "I am good Mrs. Aysun, how are you?"
"I am good too"
Cansu also came to boutique as all the ladies had planned to enjoy their evening.
"Hello everyone! Oh Mrs. Aysun!"
"hi cansu" aysun had forgiven cansu for all her ill-doings in the past and accepted as emir's business partner at hotel.
"Aysun, so tell me what are you looking for this time?"
"That's the liberty I get with you, suggest me" She said with a smile
After aysun had seen some dresses, they agreed on one. Then Aysun said "you know toulin sanem is back in town" lara and cansu were also there, then cansu added "can you believe that woman's audacity, she came to hotel with her new boyfriend Yavuz sancatkar and wanted to sell her shares to him. That was horrifying. Luckily yavuz backed off"
"you mean she is here to sell her shares ?" asked aysun
"yes, for quite some time she is looking for someone who will buy her shares of the hotel. Anyways I have done some hard talks with her this time, hope she won't trouble much"
"new boyfriend?" asked aysun
"OH! She has finally managed to find a new boyfriend, yavuz" said cansu
After listening to cansu, aysun said she was getting late and left.
Aysun thought maybe unal was right this time. Should I give him a chance and trust him. In all these 3 years, he had been honestly trying to work out a good relation with me. He was honestly bonding with can, something that Emir couldn't get. Can has been lucky the way unal has been treating. He did bring back the missing happiness in our life after Rifat. For all that he might have done in the past, he may deserve a second chance'.
At night at Riza house:
After dinner when riza retired to his bedroom, zehra followed him inside. Feriha was waiting in the living room. Zehra blinked her eyes suggesting feriha to relax. She closed the door behind her. Feriha started to pace the room anxiously
Riza was sitting on the bed and zehra was standing beside him. Zehra said "riza" riza looked at her from the corner of his eyes enquiringly "we have got the girl home, but we also have to plan her future, we have to get her married"
Riza said "Zehra, in the past I have tried to bound this girl twice, we know what happened. She is grownup, took her decisions, married that boy, so it's on her whom she wants to marry"
"Riza, they want to get married again."
Riza looked at her amazed "Zehra, you want to say with that boy?"
Zehra nodded. He was quite for some time Zehra continued "They had misunderstandings, they were young, they couldn't handle that time. But now they've cleared that misunderstanding and want to get married again"
"But zehra, he was engaged to some other girl, this girl was living with some other man?"
"She was not living with him, they had no relation. And his engagement is broken. They love each other despite of all that. I spoke with the boy today." Riza heard her quietly, then he said "call that boy tomorrow I will talk to him"
Zehra stood there acknowledging riza.
Zehra then came out of the room , feriha sprinted to her "relax girl" said zehra. "I have spoken to him, he asked him to come tomorrow morning" feriha hugged her mom, zehra patted her lightly.
Feriha then went to her room and called Emir "Yes feriha" he was awaiting her call
"dad has called you tomorrow morning to meet him" she said excitedly.
"you sound so excited, but I am nervous"
Feriha smiled. "are you so nervous?"
"yes, last time marrying was easy!"
"oh!"
"but when they had called for dinner, I was nervous"
"hmmm...don't worry I will be there, mom will be there"
"ok. I will be fine"
"what are you doing?"
"I am at the club now, but I will leave in sometime"
"early today"
"yes, can we spend some time today in the night?"
"late in the night?"
"yes" he said assertively "we have gone through a lot lately, I need some time with you"
"where do we go?"
"I have a place in mind"
"ok. I will sneak out"
"I will take half an hour"
"I will be waiting"
Emir wrapped up his work and left for home on reaching aksoy apartment he pulled his car in the car park and called feriha to come out, feriha had asked zehra and she quietly sneaked out.
She came out, emir was waiting in the car. She sat in the car and asked "where are we going?"
"surprise, my love" and he started his car
They came to a beach.
"beach, in the night Emir!"
"yes"
"come lets walk on the beach"
They took out their shoes on the sand and started walking lazily along the shore close to waves
Feriha held Emir's hand, head tilted and resting on Emir's shoulder. They stood still in the wave and the receding water kept pushing them behind. Then emir turned to her , wrapped his hand around her and pushed her chin up "are you enjoying it?"
"when you are there, I enjoy everything"
Emir captured her for a deep kiss
"missed you so much"
"I missed you too"
"I think we should plan our marriage soon"
"I believe my parents should agree tomorrow, emir how about your folks"
"I have told mom"
"and dad?"
"I will tell him. Anyways if it's agreed tomorrow, then we should marry in 2-3 days. I cannot wait long now."
"neither can i!"
"when I go up every day leaving you down it's tough being alone. That house is so empty, I don't know what to do? I keep waiting for your call and then sleeping alone..." he sighed
Feriha kept her palm on his chest "don't I know. Do you live something different than me?" and she rested her head on his chest and he kissed her hair. She fitted snugly into him like a hand in the glove.

Part 14:

Emir and feriha walked back towards where they had left their shoes on the dry sand. Feriha wore her shoes, emir bent to pick up his shoes when half way he stopped, looked up at feriha " I know its late, but can you stay a bit longer" he said in a requesting tone, to which feriha couldn't deny. They held their shoes in their hand "let's go ahead towards more quitter part of the beach, towards that boat with light" said Emir
They walked towards boat in the sea wind clutching each other. They reached close to the small boat. At the bow of the boat hung a big lantern and there were few lanterns kept on the gunwale, illuminating the place around the boat.
"Let's sit here, it's quite and lovely" said Emir, feriha complied.
They sat down beside each other. Strong sea wind was blowing dishevelling their hair, so feriha turned towards emir resting her head on emir's arm, thereby avoiding the wind. They sat quietly for some time when Feriha said "the day you got engaged I spent the entire night watching the sea"
"I drove the car aimlessly and found myself at the park"
"how much did you hate me?"
"less than how much I love you, and you?"
"In the day I hated you but in the night loved you much more than I hated you"
He caressed her hair, wrapped himself around her. Only the crashing sound of sea waves could be heard. The reeking of the dangling lantern had merged with the sounds of sea waves.
Then he cupped her face in his hands and looked at her. The lantern was swinging with the wind and the play of lantern's glow could be seen on her face. Her eyes were reflecting the love that he always saw in her eyes. She closed her eyes and rested her head on his forehead. He closed his eyes too and kissed her.
Then he tugged her hand and said "let's go, it's really late. Don't forget I have to see your father in the morning" feriha smiled and they left.
Riza house in the morning:
Zehra was arranging breakfast in the morning when feriha came to help her.
"you came quite late yesterday"
Feriha remained quite trying to shy away from the answer.
"When is he going to come today?"
"In some time"
Zehra, riza, omer, Mehmet and feriha gathered at the table for breakfast. After breakfast Riza said "zehra I am resting in the bedroom" and he left.
Zehra and feriha were clearing the table, when zehra called Mehmet "Mehmet, I have to tell you something, Emir and feriha have decided to marry again, I have spoken to your dad, he will come to ask her for marriage in sometime"
Mehmet listened to her intently "you will not have any trouble from me mom" he looked at feriha, despise clearly reflecting in his eyes for her. Feriha felt her brother's pain in that glance.
In some time Emir knocked at the door. Zehra answered the door and welcomed him inside. She asked him to sit on sofa, feriha came out too. Zehra said "wait I will call riza"
She went in to call riza, "riza he has come" riza nodded his head and went outside with zehra. Emir got up when he saw riza coming out and greeted him by bending his head.
Riza and zehra settled on the same sofa. Emir sat attentively on the opposing sofa.
Mehmet was standing near zehra and riza's bedroom. They remained quiet for some time when riza said "you want to get married to feriha again"
Emir said "yes. i want to marry her again with your permission"
Riza said "are you sure you can accept her in your life again after all that she did to you and lived for in 3 years away from you?"
"Like you accepted her back in your life, I want to do that too. All that does not matter"
Riza said "to me she is my daughter and nothing can change that. Her decisions right or wrong are also mine, but with you It's different"
"I understand what you say but its love because of which you accepted her and its love with which I accept her in my life. I will not hesitate to ask her again for marriage because it's with her I have etched my life"
"and your parents are they ready to accept her again?"
"I have spoken to them, there is no problem"
"ok, then as is the custom let them come to ask for her hand"
"ok" Emir looked at feriha happily at the same time concealing it. Feriha signalled him to kiss her dad and mom's hand.
Emir took the cue got up and kissed riza and zehra's hand.

In the morning at the beauty parlour:
Aysun had gone to the hair dresser where hande had also come.
"Aysun aunty, how are you?" asked hande delighted to see aysun after long time.
"I am good, how are you? how is your mom?"
"she is fine too. Let me congratulate you emir and feriha are back again"
"you know. Of course how can you not know?"
"A small misunderstanding, feriha thought that emir chose his work and not her separated them for so long, they are meant to be together. I had known both of them all along both were unhappy. Now when I met them I saw a different emir and feriha. I am happy they found their way back. Two people who love each other so much should stay together"
"Hmm..."Aysun made a mental note of what hande said. She then remembered that she had asked feriha to get Emir out of the club, so she had actually tried.
"Mrs. Aysun" called the hair dresser
"I will see you hande. Bye"
"bye"
On the way back home Aysun was pondering actually a misunderstanding led to some much pain to Emir. She knows what Emir went through all those days. She couldn't do much and just watch I despair.
Then her thoughts shifted to unal, was the truth something different than what she saw. Was unal true this time. On deliberating a lot she thought of giving him one more chance.
