Attracting a Heart-Captured Dragon
Chapters 10

The night was so silent, the sky was covered with clouds, not a single star could be seen at this moment.. My gaze also shifted to the figure of a man who was lying helplessly.. My feet stepped towards her so that I could clearly see her current condition.. Leave it still sweating, even though its body temperature was not like it was yesterday afternoon but it was still hot when I touched it.. Sometimes I hear him speaking indistinctly, fearfully.. I tried to grab her hand and clasped it tightly, Serkan returned my hand tightly back.

“ I'm sorry.. I shouldn't have let you go with him.. As soon as it improves, somehow seeing you like this makes my heart ache.”

Leave him still speaking indistinctly in his sleep.. I tried to find a handkerchief or a small towel to relieve her fever with a compress on her forehead and wrists.. Sometimes I try to wake him up just spending his drink.. His body was still sweating a lot, afraid that his condition would deteriorate I tried to change his clothes.. When I tried to change her clothes, half-awake Serkan spoke to me.

“ Almira..”

“ I'm sorry, you sweat a lot so I tried to change your clothes.. Can you hold yourself back for a while not lying down?”

Said Almira who turned her face by giving a t-shirt to Serkan

“ Why are you here?”

Leave him to take off and change his clothes

“ How? Feel more comfortable after changing your clothes?”

“ Answer questionsku”

“ Somehow I feel sad to see you like this. You satisfied?”

Serkan like he could not hold back his dizziness at this time, he immediately fell asleep again.. I walked out of his room to let him rest.. Almira, what did you tell her just now? Hopefully with his current condition he doesn't remember what I said to him.. I then walked to the kitchen to fill the glass teapot to fill the water again.. As I walked through the living room, my eyes fell on the bottle of wind oil I gave her.. Why would he keep it if it's finished like this? Is he fit to use this wind oil and try to buy it back? I put this bottle back in place and then filled this pitcher and went back to the room to see the condition of the hand..

By early morning at 4 am, the body temperature has started to stabilize.. His sleep also looks more sound and he was not talking in his sleep.. Seeing her improve, I exited the room to let her rest.. I walked back to the kitchen downstairs, then opened the fridge to see the contents inside.. It's true that the man who organized once himself even made me smile.. From the placement of meat, vegetables, fruit and drinks you are very neatly arranged, very different from the refrigerator in my apartment.. Can he cook? Why the contents of the refrigerator for single men are so very complete and can even be said not to be empty.. Or maybe it was Farah who filled the fridge? Feeling strange about my own opinion, I took some vegetables and chicken to process into soup.. I also made rice porridge for him.. I cook until I don't feel the time to show at 6 a.m.. I have to go to college at 8, or else I have to get out of here and go back to the apartment to get ready.. As soon as I finished cleaning, I brought the soup and rice porridge to the top using a small table.. I saw that he was still sleeping very fast, I put this table beside his bed so that if he woke up he could eat it immediately.. I got ready and walked home.

.....................................

“ Almira.. How's condition? Were you up all night? You look very exhausted”

Said Lilian who greeted Almira in front of the entrance

“ Give gradually improved, as well as me.. Just relax.”

“ I heard from Emre, yesterday...”.

“ Yes. I seemed to have made a mistake, but I also knew I had no right to interfere in his personal matters. Honestly, at this time I am confused what to look like..”

“ You take a shower first to be fresh.. After you rest, do you want to talk?”

“ I really want, but can't.. I have to go to campus at 8 this”

“ What? But you just got home and you were up all night full”

“ Lilian.. I'm okay.. Calm”

Almira said as she walked towards the bathroom

Lilian's face right now was very worried about me, I hugged her and she smiled at me.. Then with a little restless I prepared to go to campus. The thesis I was working on was very much progress and there were very few revisions to make, so that way I could focus on working on my academic journal.. Then as soon as the lecture was over, the baby boy called me and told me to go to his room.. I also walked straight there..

“ Almira, I'd like you to give your perception by presenting the data that you have researched. Then on certain data try to find an analysis that can help you explain it."

Said Mr. Onur using Turkish while drinking a cup of coffee

“ Good Mr. onur.. And this is the data I worked on last night"

Almira who handed over a Map in front of Mr. Onur

“ As fast as this?"

“ Yes Sir.. I couldn't sleep last night. So I'm making a data report"

“ Very good indeed. I'm sure you'll soon graduate from here with satisfactory results".

“ Thank you very much Mr. onur.."

Almira slightly lowered her head and walked out of the room

Finished with Mr. Onur's business, I immediately headed for the restourant to return to work.. I feel bad for Mr. Mete and Mr. Ozcan after almost 2x not going to work. Moreover, I actually will not complain anything if the salary this month they cut, but the fact is they gave full all the salary for me. As I walked towards the Restaurant, there was a sound of car horns ringing at me, after I saw it was ozge and hazal.. They finally took me to work..

“ Will you eat there too?"

Almira spoke to Hazal and Ozge in Turkish

“ We'll see later.. Actually, there's something we want to ask you"

“ Why do you guys look so serious?"

They don't answer my questions, what's wrong with them? Neither hazal nor ozge looked very serious looking at me at this moment.. Did I make a mistake? As soon as we reached the Retaurant, Hazal spoke to Ozcan to give time to me because there was something they wanted to talk about.. Ozcan agreed to it.. Ozge immediately pulled my hand to sit at one of the tables on the outside porch.

“ Ozge? what'sthis?"

“ Did you really keep an academic journal with the man you were with back then?"

Ozge sat next to Almira in Turkish

“ Serkan?? Yeah.."

“ Do you know the story that spread? Who's her ex-fiancee and how's this woman?"

Hazal said, sitting on the chair with cookies and drinks from Ozcan's brother

“ Hazal saw you yesterday when you came out of Mr. Onur's room and then you confronted that woman because of Serkan"

“ Can't you stay away from him? That woman is very dangerous. I know that"

“ Ozge, Do you know him?"

Almira pulls Ozge's hand to ask him to explain

“ Yes.. That's why we're asking you not to go near that woman.."

“ Tell.. Please.."

“ The woman's father is a landlord. They use dirty ways to make money. They sell their land at a low price but want a big dividend with big interest-bearing cooperation"

“ Yes.. My brother was the one involved in the deal. Berguzar convinced Serkan to buy their land when they started this business. All he wanted was to profit from Serkan. The woman tricked him"

Hearing hazal and ozge right now my mind went blank.. Is this also one of the reasons for the handover that makes it in the current state? Emre once told me that it was Mr. Metelah who made Serkan know how the woman really was. With a lot of men beside her and an undue appearance.. Now I understand and know how that woman really is.. Emre was angry with me when Berguzar took him.. Almira, what are you doing?

Towards the afternoon, whether the wind whirled, I saw Berguzar come to the restaurant with 2 men of high stature.. Me and the other servants who were looking speechless could not say.. Berguzar immediately approached Mr. Mete and Mr. Ozcan, they handed him a thick envelope. They looked annoyed from their faces at this moment but they tried to hold it back.. Suddenly arrived Aagha, the son of Mr. Mete and 4-year-old Kak Ozcan accidentally fell by spilling juice and hit under the dress he was wearing.. Berguzar looks angry, he pulls Aagha's hand until the boy cries.

“ Release the boy's hand"

Said Almira who stood before Berguzar and pulled Aagha from his hand and carried him

“ YOU?? Do you work here too?"

Berguzar walked towards me with the two men behind him.. There was panic on the faces of Mr. Mete and Mr. Ozcan at this time. In front of me, I looked into the eyes of this woman and she looked at me.. Disturbed by my gaze at him, he immediately pulled towards the shirt I was wearing at the moment and rubbed my shirt as if there was dust sticking up.

“ Stay away from my fiancee and my job. I'll only warn you once."

Said Berguzar with a deadly low tone beside Almira's ear

He immediately released his hand then passed away leaving the restaurant. Mr. Mete and Mr. Ozcan ran towards me and asked me about my situation and took Aagha from me to take them. They look scared if something happens to me and Aagha. I smiled at them and assured them I was okay.. There was no time to show at 11 pm, the restaurant was closed on time.. On the way home arrived I stopped at a park right in front of the restaurant where I work.. I walked towards the garden seat Serkan used to sit on.. The current weather was no longer cold, the sky was starry, and the lights were lit making me look in awe at the current bosphorus strait.. Even though I know I have to go home soon, at least I want to enjoy this moment even if it is only for a while..

...............................

Kirey knocked on the door

“ Login.. The door is unlocked.”

“ Will you come to the library again today? Isn't your thesis or journal running smoothly? You don't feel tired?”

Lilian suddenly closes the Book and Kirey tries to save the data and turns off the Almira Laptop

" You. . . .  Want what? There's something weird about you two"

“ Nothing what. If you think, it's been a long time since we went three.. Want to go?”

“ Don't be weird, There's a thing I have to..”.

“ AYOLAHH ALMIRAA, THIS DAY ONLY“

Said Lilian and Kirey Simultaneously in a position pleading with her

“ Okay okay.. I'll go with you guys. Satisfied? Get ready, I'll get ready and then we go.”

Lilian and Kirey immediately left my room and went to prepare.. But it seems like they had planned it from last night, I was not finished preparing, they were both in front of my room door with clothes ready to leave right now. I laughed sillyly at the behavior of the two of them who were like children. Lilian and Kirey helped me choose clothes and everything else.. Then take me away immediately.. It was unexpected, on this holiday they invited me to go to the city game rides.. Starting from Roller coaster, other game rides such as those in dufan Indonesia such as ontang earrings, kora kora, greenhouses, chirping, even dollhouses.. The three of us got wet from riding the niagara ride before we decided to have lunch..

While choosing a lunch spot, Lilian and Kirey compactly look at their respective phones and get inbound calls.. Honestly I feel a little annoyed at them at the moment, I can confirm it is emre and also hammet who contacted them.. While I am not at all allowed by them to touch my phone at all today. The moment the two of them finished making the call, they immediately pulled my hand and half-runningly followed after them at this moment.. What's up with them? Where are you going? Starting to feel tired, I pulled my hand from the grasp of the two of them..

“ You... Where exactly are you going!! Isn't it lunch?”

“ Yes.. That, we've reached”

When I turned my head back to look like a western-themed dining place, it was good that they chose this place for lunch because I was so hungry.. But our clothes were wet because we had to go to the souvenir shop next door to buy a t-shirt and a small towel to dry our hair.. Lilian and Kirey chose first and last I chose.. As they were laughing at me, I turned my head to them and asked what was wrong with them today? They smile with a shy smile at me.. Feeling they were very strange at the moment and when he was about to pay the cashier table, Lilian came with a card in her hand..

“ Lilian? Are you going to pay for all this?”

“ Yup.”

“ I just found out you're rich.. But, I think I just saw you have that card?”

“ This is not mine. I was just told to use it”

“ What?”

“ He gave this card to me and Kirey this morning, then told us to use it today”

“ Him?? Ahhh.. Emre??”

“ Not.. But, he..”

Said Kirey pointing outwards

When I looked back, I could see him standing waiting for us outside.. Even emre and hammet were there.. What are they doing here? I took my eyes on Lilian and Kirey seriously, they just laughed at me and walked out of the souvenir shop and walked over to emre and hammet.. Do I have to go out too? Who should I approach? Then he looked at me with a smile on his face.. Why is he smiling? Honestly what is this condition, why do I feel like this wrong behavior? I'd better let them go first, then I'll follow behind them.. But... My clothes.. Wait, Lilian was carrying all the clothes and towels she bought.. What am I supposed to do? Did I just buy back another shirt right now?

“ What are you doing? You're not hungry?”

Say the one standing behind Almira

“ Serkan..?? What are you...”.

“ Today is my holiday, I happen to hear you guys are going to visit here. I haven't been here in a long time, so.”

“ Aahh.. Okay.. Good though.. Have a nice day”

“ You didn't come eat with us? I've already booked place”

“ What? No need.. You guys.. I'm still not so hungry.”

Said Almira who moved both hands while refusing the invitation Serkan

“ Really? A pity.. I've ordered 6 packages of lunch with imported meat typical soft parts, sliced potatoes and vegetables are delicious.. I hear barbeque sauce or blackpaper is the best. There's hamburgers and salads. Also a variety of juices and smooties..”

“Heard... Very lezatt..”.

Suddenly there was the sound of Almira's stomach ringing and shamefully closing it by lowering his head

“ Ahaha.. Change your clothes first with your friends, then we'll have lunch”

“ Whatever it is.. Wait for me, Okay?!”

I immediately ran out and without looking at the current emre and hammet, I pulled my hands and kirey to the nearest toilet to change clothes and told them to leave us a reservation for lunch with a delicious menu.. Lilian and Kirey who were looking at me at this moment were laughing.. After we changed clothes, we went into the dining room and sat down side by side.. We enjoyed lunch this time with laughter.. After eating food, we also tried some other rides again until the time did not feel so fast.. As he was about to walk home, Hammet invited kirey to come home with him.. Emre on lillian.. True as forget friends, they are already like opponents with happy faces leaving me alone.. The atmosphere became very awkward because only I was left and handed it over..

“ I'll take you”

“ Ti.. No need, I will take the bus with the fastest route”

“ Think of this as my gratitude for keeping and cooking breakfast for me”

“ You, eat it?”

“ Yes. It's delicious.”

“ But, I did that, not because I wanted you. . . . What today is because of that, so you. . .”

“ I beg you not to misunderstand. It's not all because of money. I don't see you like that at all.”

“ If so, can you let me drive your car?”

Said Almira who reached out her hand to pick up the car keys

“ WHAT??”

“ Your car is so good, I don't know why I want to ride behind the wheel”

“ Can you drive?”

Say Hand over the one who finally handed over the Car Key

“ You underestimated me too much. Matic or manual? Motor I can”

“ Are you serious?”

“ Of course. Want to see my driving license? You just need to point the way because I don't know which way to go.”.

“ You are really beyond the concept”

Serkan left Almira and walked towards his parked car, followed by Almira beside him

“ Women should be able to in every way. That's what my mom taught me.. So, AYOO GO!!”

“ No need to run. Just walk”

“ Aahh.. You're like an old man”

“ Are you mocking me?”

We laughed together as if nothing had happened and there was no problem at all. I'm driving his sports car right now.. It was a new experience for me.. Looking at me who was happy like a child, Serkan chuckled at me.. We drove up to the lobby apartment.. They were already there waiting for us, and were surprised to see me driving the car.. They were all laughing and leaving just a smile and bowing his head by rubbing his hair.. The night ended with us gathered in the apartment just drinking with a snack.. Joking and talking.. What an unforgettable day..
