The next day I woke up with a terrible headache. I guess I couldn't be expected to be normal after drinking and the emotional trauma I experienced. When I turned my head to the side to pick up my phone, there was a breakfast plate and painkillers on the nightstand.Cenk took precautions in his own way because he knew how I wake up. I wish he had thought about these before whistling another woman. When I remembered that situation again, my pain became even more severe. I took the water and medicine on the side and drank it in one gulp. While I was closing my eyes and waiting for the pain to ease, a vibration sound came from the drawer. I was stunned by what this was and then I remembered that I put the phone that police Serdar gave me there. Panicked, I opened the drawer and answered the phone.
“Yes, Mr. Serdar”
“Hello Suna, how are you?”
“hello, I've had much better days. You?”
“Thanks, I'm fine. We need to meet today. Can we meet. What time suitable for you?”
What the man who came to my house said suddenly came to my mind. He said that when he finished his work, the police would meet with me for the last time. I wonder if that was the reason for Serdar's call?
“Suna are you there?”
“Yes Yes. I can come to the cafe we met at last time in an hour. Is there a problem? Do I need to be afraid?”
“When we meet, we will talk in detail, don't worry, you have nothing to fear.”
“Ok. I'm getting ready and leaving.”
After hanging up the phone, I immediately went into the shower and called Cenk's mother and told her that I would be a little late to pick up Elif and went to the cafe.
When I arrived at the cafe, I saw Mr. Serdar watching the surroundings, drinking tea at a table in the corner. He was a tough-looking serious man. The lines on his forehead were proof that he was constantly frowning. When he saw me, he stood up to shake my hand and extended his hand towards me.
“Welcome Suna. I hope I didn't call at the wrong time.”
“No problem, I woke up and there was no one with me. Can you get to the point right away without further ado? I came here with my heart in my mouth.”
“Okay, I'll get right to the point then. Now you can rest easy because the man we were looking for has been caught. More precisely, he was found dead. You have no one to fear anymore. Anyway, the man's job was not with you, but with someone else.”
I was listening to Mr. Serdar with my mouth open. I was completely confused. That man told me he would solve the problem, but he didn't mention that he was going to die. He couldn't have gone that far, could he? A pain entered my stomach.
“So, did you kill the man? Or was he already dead? Are you sure it's him? How did you know it had nothing to do with me?”
He thought I was asking this question just to be sure, but what I was thinking was completely different.
“Information came from higher units. All I can tell you is that the body found belongs to that man, we're sure of that. Now the case is closed. We realized that the man was not after you when we found the documents he kept about a person who live close to you. So the man misdirected by pretending to follow you.”
Mr. Serdar's words matched exactly what the man said. It made me feel strange and painful that everything he said was true. The sacrifices made by people I didn't know for me made me feel a sense of ownership that I hadn't experienced in years, and this feeling was very foreign to me. To avoid suspicion, I pretended to be relieved and smiled at Mr. Serdar.
“I'm so glad this chaos is over now. I hope I never encounter anything like this again. Then I give you this phone, these events were too much for me.”
He took the phone I handed him and put it in his pocket.
“Yes Suna, you are free now. What you went through was not an easy thing. I hope we never meet like this again. Thanks for collaborating with us.”
“You're welcome, Mr. Serdar. Good day.”
Mr. Serdar got up from the table and left, and I continued to sit for a while. I visualized what I was going through once again and realized that I was still in shock. My stomach twisted in pain as if confirming me. Whenever I was stressed, my stomach hurt. My stomach couldn't stand this stress anymore. I took my stomach medicine from my bag and swallowed it. I didn't know if the man I was talking to at home was really dead or part of his operation, but I realized I wanted to meet him again. After all, he knew a lot about my biological father and I wanted to hear more about him.
Suddenly it occurred to me that there was a huge box full of gold in the house. It was completely out of my mind because I was dealing with the Cenk issue. In normal times, I wouldn't know what to do because of joy and excitement. I had always dreamed that I was a noble and rich person, and especially in recent years, my desire to become rich had increased greatly, and I wanted to start my own business and earn a lot of money. Working for others was becoming difficult. Yes, I loved my job very much, but I couldn't bear being under orders. After working all day, I could not spare time for myself and my family, on the other hand, my efforts were ignored where I worked and I did not see any appreciation. Now the opportunity I wanted had come my way, but it was not at all what I imagined. I was at a loss as to how to feel from the shock of events.
About an hour later, I left the cafe and took my daughter from her grandmother to the playground. Then we ate something and went back home. When Cenk arrived, my anger and resentment towards him was evident in my eyes, but I tried to act normal for my daughter. He looked depressed and exhausted. If anyone touched him, he would cry, but he and Elif hugged each other and went to the playroom to play.
When Elif felt sleepy and went to bed, I stood up to go to my room. I was just leaving when Cenk grabbed my arm.
“Suna, can we talk for a moment?”
“I think we talked enough yesterday, Cenk. I'm still extremely angry, I think we should talk when we calm down.”
“Please come and sit down. I got rid of that woman completely, I'll tell you about it, listen, then go.”
I reluctantly sat on the couch and looked at his face as if to tell him.
“I met her first thing as soon as I woke up today. I said everything that needed to be said and made her understand.”
“That doesn't sound logical, Cenk. The woman who threatened you for months suddenly gave up, right?”
“As always, you are right. If I were the old Cenk, she would continue to manipulate me because she knew my weak point, but there is no such situation anymore. I had no problems because what I was afraid of happened to me. I took a copy of the photo and video you showed me and showed it to her and pointed her gun at her. I threatened to give all these documents to her relatives and the press if she tried to make things difficult. I also explained in detail what I could do if one of you had a single strand of hair damaged because of her. Since she is a businesswoman, it is impossible for her to take the risks I mentioned. She saw my weakness at that time and used it, but she saw very well that I was someone else now. Of course, I didn't leave anything to chance. I hired a man to follow her and report back to me on her actions. If she tries anything about us, I'll know immediately. As a result, you can be comfortable, there is no problem.”
It was the second you can relax sentence I heard during the day. For God's sake, what I've been going through lately. It was as if life was suddenly raining bombs on me and then wrapping me in cotton wool. I laughed bitterly and,
“Believe me, I have no idea about being comfortable lately. Anyway, Cenk, you know very well how confident I am for you, but at least I am extremely sure of what you can do for your daughter. I hope there will be no problem. If you excuse me, I'm going to sleep, I'm very tired now.”
After checking on Elif, I went to bed. I had a lot of work to do in the morning. I had to arrange the divorce petition and go to the place mentioned in the letter. I asked Leyla to take care of Elif, and thank you, she did not hesitate. Since Elif loved her very much, I was sure that they would have a good time.
The next morning, Cenk and I submitted our divorce petitions to the lawyers and took care of the necessary procedures to open the case. The day of the case was postponed to 2 weeks later.
After completing the procedures, I set out towards the place mentioned in the letter. The address given indicated a place in Urla. I decided to go alone because I wanted to gather information and make sure first, but I was very nervous. I didn't know the person or people I would encounter, and that was a big risk for me. I had to be very careful and calm. Since my mother was the only one who knew about the incident, I called her and gave her the address of the place I went to. If my mother didn't hear from me within two hours, she would call the police. I was trying to keep my voice calm while speaking, but my heart was beating in my mouth. I was trying very hard not to come back, but what Kemal and that man said had turned out to be true by now. Something told me there would be no problem, but I wasn't adventurous either. I've never experienced anything like this before.
The address given brought me to a shop in the market. This was a small old place. Around it were shops selling various souvenirs, antiques and clothes.
I slowly walked in and started looking around. This was an antique shop. There were various types of old items everywhere. Then something resembling a wand caught my eye. The staff had various carved shapes and inscriptions on it. I took it in my hand and started examining it. While I was busy figuring out what the writings meant, I turned around with the coughing sound coming from very close to me and put the wand on the head of the person behind me.
A big man “ahhhhh” said, holding his head with his hand and stumbling back.
“What do you think you're doing, woman! Ahh my head!”
I froze where I was in panic, but I was quick to respond.
“What were you actually doing right next to me? You are the person who come close to me.”
“If there is someone going through the items in my shop without permission, I can do whatever I want, ma'am. If I call the police now, who would be guilty?”
The man was the owner of the shop. Supposedly, I was going to stay calm and not cause any trouble, but from the very first minute, I broke the shop owner's head and fell into trouble. I took a deep breath and approached the man embarrassed.
“I'm so sorry, but couldn't you call from afar? I can't control my reflexes when someone is quietly approaching behind me. Let me look at your head. If you want, we can go to the hospital.”
He nervously took his hand off his head and stared at me like steel. The man in front of me was in his mid-thirties, tall, big, and his black hair was neither too long nor too short. He was wearing a white t-shirt and bitter green cargo pants underneath. He was a handsome man with hazel eyes, stubble and a bony face. But the way they looked at me seemed to suffocate me at any moment. He could knock me out with one hit. I approached him silently and put my hand to his forehead. At first he pulled himself back, but then he didn't move. The area I hit was bruised and swollen.
“Please sit down. Let's put it on your forehead if there is ice around here.”
He sat grumbling on the seat on the sidelines.
“Thank you, but I don't want anything from you. Do you first injure and then treat? What kind of psychopathy is yours?”
“But please, I have explained it to you, let's not make it any longer. Now can you tell me where the ice is? Or should I call an ambulance?”
He looked at me with all his anger. Likewise, I looked at him without taking my eyes off, and suddenly I felt a strange attraction, as if his eyes were a whirlpool that drew me in. He must have been disturbed by this situation because he pointed to the door that I guess opened to the back with his head. I went inside and took an ice pack out of the refrigerator in the corner. I went to him and put the ice on his forehead. He raised his hand and placed it on my hand. At that moment, my heart paltipated.
“apologize to you again with all my heart, as I said, it was a reflex. You said you were the owner of the shop. Mr. Ahmet, are you?”
“Your apology doesn't relieve my head swelling, but whatever. Ahmet is my father, I am his son Kamer. Why do you want to see my father? You're not going to break his head either, are you?”
What a vindictive man he was, I apologized so many times, but he still continued to talk. My nerves were already tense and this Kamer guy was making me worse.
“I'm really not in a position to deal with you, Mr. Kamer. You sneaked up on me and I responded. Learn from this incident, I don't think you should ever approach anyone quietly behind their back again. Anyway, I took up your time. I will come when Mr. Ahmet is here. Good day.”
I got up hard and headed for the door. When I heard him laughing hard behind me, I turned around with all my anger and hit his chest like a wall and stumbled. If he hadn't grabbed my arm and pulled me towards him, I might have fallen to the ground and hurt myself somewhere. His arm was wrapped around my waist and one hand was left on his chest. The perfume that came to my nose smelled masculine and I liked it. When I got over the first shock, I pushed him with my hand, I was very angry.
“You are really sick. When did you end up next to me again? What do you think you're doing?”
“Is this said by the woman who hit and hit me? Stop talking nonsense and sit down, please, my father will be back soon. He has strict instructions, he always warns me that whoever comes to see him should not go anywhere until he comes.”
I got into the seat angrily and sat down. About ten minutes later, a man in his seventies entered. He looked at me with questioning looks and then turned to his son. started beating in my mouth again. I quickly pulled my hand away and looked sideways at his face.
“Kamer son, who is this girl? What happened to your head?”
“It's no big deal, dad, work accident. This lady wants to meet you, it's a special situation.”
The man who had been talking to me all the time before was now telling his father that what happened to him was a work accident. I couldn't figure out whether this man was mature or two-faced. While Mr. Ahmet was looking at us questionably, I stepped forward;
“Hello Mr. Ahmet, I am Suna. If you have time, there are things I need to talk to you about.”
“Sure, let's talk. If you want, let's go to my office. Here you go.”
Mr. Ahmet's office was a small room at the back of the shop. There was a wooden table in the room and two single seats opposite the table.
“Sit down and tell me what it is you want to talk about with me?”
Before getting into the subject, I looked around carefully. Mr. Ahmet must have understood what I was doing
“Don't worry, there are no cameras here. I host my special guests, it may be comfortable for you here.”
My tension was gnawing at me. I took a deep breath to relax a little and suggested myself to stay calm. I decided to ask directly to get rid of this torment as soon as possible.
“Do you know Kemal Öz?”
When Mr. Ahmet first heard the name, he scratched his beard as if trying to remember it. Then he must have remembered that his eyes widened and he looked at me carefully. It was obvious that he was suspicious of his situation and tried not to attract attention.
“I've never heard that name before.”
“I don't think so at all, Mr. Ahmet. Kemal left me a letter and it says in that letter that you can help me. He wrote that your 12-pronged ropes are strong and that you can be sure that I will tell you this. I am Kemal's daughter.”
When I finished my sentence, I looked at his face and saw that his surprise increased and he started to get excited. Then he got up from his seat, closed the blinds in front of us and locked the door. When he finished his work, he sat in front of me and examined me for a minute. There was pain and gratitude in his eyes.
“You know, your eyes look very similar to him, when I look at them, it seems like Kemal is in front of me. Yes, I knew your father. He is the man I met in a short time and to whom I owe my life. As they say, your father was a man just like that. He did me a favor like no one else had done, and then suddenly disappeared. I always waited for him to come one day, but I guess it wasn't possible for it to come as he said when he left. About 30 years ago, he asked me for the help you mentioned and told me never to forget that password you told me. I've been waiting for you since that day. I was very afraid that I would die without paying my debt of loyalty, but thank God I saw this day. Your father told me that you would have jewelry that needed to be converted into some money. He knew that my connections were strong and that I could handle this matter without attracting suspicion. Don't worry, I'll handle your job the cleanest way. What do you have in your hand, gold, historical artifacts or antiques?”
“There is gold from those years, sir. I didn't count, but I'm guessing they're worth millions.”
“Nobody knows, right?”
“No, only me and my mother know.”.
“You should not attract suspicion too well because it can be dangerous. This is money, you never know what it will make anyone do. If you only knew what money has made people do all these years, your mouth would be open. Don't be afraid of me, I won't play tricks on you. I'm already a man who's full of money, don't look at the state of this place, you guessed it, I use it as a front for my wealth.
I have a very good contact who will evaluate what you have. If I offer, he will never turn me down. We can handle the job whenever you want.”
While he was talking, I wondered how much I could trust this man. I wondered what I would do if I didn't. I didn't have anyone I trusted who did such things. I was taking a gamble and had no choice but to rely on my luck.
“Thank you very much, sir.”
“don't call me as sir please, you are considered my daughter now.”
“Okay, Uncle Ahmet. I really appreciate you, you put my mind at such ease. Such things are not for me at all, I want them to end as soon as possible and I want to return to my normal life. I can't bring what I have these days. I have something to take care of, I can bring it after I take care of it, right? Also, the money can be deposited into the bank account, right, no problem”
“Of course, girl, as I said, whenever you want. Don't worry, we'll take care of the official parts, no doubt.”
“Then can I have your number, uncle? We'll reach you when I'm ready and sort out the transactions.”
I got Uncle Ahmet's number and we said goodbye and left his office. When we came towards the front, we found his son with his arms crossed, looking at us.
“There is no problem, right dad, everything is fine?”
“Everything is fine, my son Suna is the daughter of an old acquaintance whom I value very much. Thank you for coming to visit me. My beautiful daughter, let's meet again, you must have made me very happy.”
“I was very pleased to meet you too, uncle Ahmet. See you, of course, I will wait for you in Izmir.”
“Kamer accompany Suna please, and make sure she leaves safely.”
Uncle Ahmet slowly returned to his office. So I took quick steps out to avoid dealing with his son.
“You are both violent and rude. Will you leave without saying goodbye?”
I looked back, exasperated;
“It is not possible to be polite to someone like you. You are not a person to be attracted to at all. My only consolation now is that we won't see each other again.”
He laughed annoyingly and came to me and stared at me.
“For the first time, I agree with you. I've met many women, but I've never seen anyone as cruel and violent as you. Pray you know my father, otherwise I might have been ruder.”
This time it was my turn to laugh.
“Rougher? I guess you don't know that you are the definition of the word rude. I think you haven't come across a real woman, so you must have found me strange. Now I am leaving. Good day.”
I turned my head hard and got in my car and drove off. After calling my mother and telling her everything was okay, I shouted with all my strength to get angry. I thought this man was attractive. Nonsense! This guy is a complete piece of wood. A rude, spiteful, silent man whom I hate. I'm glad I broke his head. I wish I had hit harder, something would have changed in his brain, maybe he would have been a polite person. It's surprising how a kind man like Uncle Ahmet could have such a son. Maybe it's not even his son, he might have adopted him.
As I grumbled to myself and drove forward, the car suddenly started to stumble with a sudden jolt and went off the road. In that panic, I swerved and was able to stop on the edge of a field. My hands and feet were shaking and I couldn't move because of the shock. I was frozen like a statue. When someone hit on the window of my car, I jumped out of fear. When I turned my head and looked, there was Kamer in front of me. He motioned for me to open my door and I opened it without any objection.
“Are you okay, is there any pain somewhere?”
I couldn't speak and just stood there.
“I'm telling you. Can you hear me?”
Suddenly I started sobbing in a way I couldn't understand. I couldn't say anything, I was just crying. Kamer immediately reached towards me and took off my belt and pulled me out of the car. There was no cure in my feet, I couldn't stand, I was shaking non-stop. Without thinking, he took me in his arms, took me to the bottom of the tree ahead and made me sit down. He sat next to me, wrapped his arm around my shoulder and waited silently. I cried on his shoulder for minutes. All my experiences and the shock of the incident got on my nerves and did not allow me to control myself. It was as if what I had experienced so far was flowing with my tears like poison. It was a shame to be in this situation in front of a man I didn't know and was angry with, but I couldn't stop him. As time passed and I came to my senses a little more, I slowly raised my head and pulled myself back. I wiped my tears and took a deep breath and turned to him;
"What are you doing here?”
“ If you noticed, I just helped you. Is that your thanks?”
Even though I was announced, he was telling the truth, I don't know how I would have gotten through this crisis without him. It was actually funny how he sulked and tied his arms like a child. I tried to speak a little softer.
“You're right, I'm sorry, but you'll appreciate that I was just in shock. Thank you for helping. I don't understand what happened to this car.”
“It doesn't matter. That's why your wheel burst. Good thing you were slow or it could have been worse. I'm also here because, as you heard, my father instructed you to get home safely. I was just doing my duty.”
“Yeah, I heard, but I didn't think you'd follow me home.”
“That's how my father is. Every job has to be guaranteed.”
“I'm sorry I tired you so far.”
“No problem. You're fine, aren't you. It seemed like you were more than shocked just now.”
“Yes, I am going through a difficult process and it all comes together. This accident was also a waste of time. If you know of a tire shop around here, I need to have my car repaired immediately, people at home will wonder.”
“I even called someone and he takes care of the car and brings it to his house. If you want, I can take you or if you say you can wait, you can call someone. The car's work is not done immediately.”
“There's no one I can call, but I don't want to bother you. I can call a taxi.”
“I'll be here until you get home anyway, so I don't think it's pointless and come with me. Don't be afraid, I won't eat you.”
“Do you think I seem like someone who would be afraid? It's funny you say that, having experienced defending myself.”
A faint smile appeared on his lips. He seemed like a sweet person when he wasn't annoying.
“You're right, you won't get infected. Shall we go before it's too late? I have work to do too.”
“Well then”
We took my belongings from the car and went to his car. While I was on the road, Leyla called and I talked to my daughter. Elif missed me and was asking where I was staying. I told her that my work was taking longer and that I would come immediately and hung up the phone.
“So you have a daughter.”
“Yes, five years old. Do you have children?”
“No, I'm not married. I don't think I'm that crazy.”
“You're right, I think it's crazy, but I wouldn't think about it if they asked me if I would do this again for my daughter.”
“I guess you're not happy in your marriage since you talk like that.”
I had a short laugh.
“I don't know if I was happy, but now that I'm a cheated person, I know I'm not happy at all.”
He looked at me for a brief moment and frowned.
“That guy must be such a loser.”
I looked at him in surprise and he looked at me and turned his head towards the road.
“You were saying I was a rude woman. I was waiting for you to say he did it right.”
“I still think so, but cheating means helplessness and dishonor for me. If you don't get along or like it, you break up and that's it. He has no rights to do this to his wife. Of course, these are my thoughts, I don't want you to misunderstand, it's your life after all.”
The more he talked, the more I felt like I was listening to myself. He said the same thing I thought.
“I like to listen, not criticize or misunderstand, I respect every opinion. Also, I think the same as you, that's why I'm getting divorced.”
“I hope it will be good for you.”
I retreated into my own shell and did not continue the conversation. We didn't talk at all along the way afterwards. When we came near Leyla's house, I thanked Kamer for leaving me and went to my daughter.
