Attracting a Heart-Captured Dragon
Chapter 12's
The warm wind now turned slightly hotter.. Seems like the seasons are changing the direction of the wind again into summer.. When the lecture was over, my colleagues invited me to go on vacation for 2 days to go to the beach, but hazal and ozge warned me that my academic journal was still not finished.. Well, almira forget to go on vacation, you already know that.. Hazal and Ozge laughed as if to insinuate me this time.. Knowing I was feeling a little upset, they ended up taking me to a cafe located close to the bosphorus.. We also talked a little longer than usual so it did not feel the time passed before dusk.. Finished eating and joking, Ozge offered to drive me but I refused, for some reason this twilight time looked so beautiful that I wanted to walk the road first before going home..
I moved a little to the south, it looks like I just passed this road but the bosphorus looks very beautiful during this road.. I continued walking until I reached the main road junction, Honestly I was a little confused as to where my current destination was.. But it would be a pity if I missed the beautiful twilight this time by just staying in the apartment.. Finally I chose a turn that was more towards the bosphorus garden, even though I don't know where the end of this road is at least I'm still at the same point and don't stray so far like that time.. I walked back and felt amazed by the scenery this time, until returning to the choice of the main road between the right or left turn, I again chose the turn that leads to the bosphorus.
Back walking arrived I felt recognize the direction of this road.. I tried to remember it until I finally came to a little bit of a cornering road.. Why did I get here? Isn't this heading for Mr. Mete's restaurant and Mr. Ozcan's? I finally decided to go the other way and go to the park.. When I find a seat that looks empty.. I walked and walked around enjoying the twilight this time.. But I did not realize it turned out that my footsteps led to him who again sat pensively alone in the seat he used to sit.. I saw my phone turned out to be the 24th. He still does this.. It has been 2X therapy session meetings that I did not attend, with various reasons to Mr. Onur so that I do not meet this man. But what happened today unintentionally made me have to see him again.. Is there still no progress for him?
I twisted my body and sat a little away from her but it was still obvious if I turned my head towards her.. I sat down to see the beautiful bosphorus, my daydreams drifting and I again tried to digest the last words of Ozcan.. The last time was so begging me to continue helping Serkan remember the events he had forgotten.. They were all worried about Berguzar beside him. My daydream drifted back when I remembered Kak ozcan saying, Serkan tried to accept Berguzar's condition and if Berguzar will give birth to a child in his womb, he will help to take care of it. What kind of heart does that man have? Shortly Serkan said that, Berguzar met the man who according to Mr. Mete and Mr. Ozcan is the father of the child in the womb.. They do look very friendly. Ozcan said he felt guilty for sending the video to Emre and was seen by Serkan to make Serkan feel angry until there was a fight between Serkan and the man. Serkan initially tried to hold back his emotions but the man stood up and suddenly hit him in the face. After a fight that resulted in accidents and other events.
Time does not feel to make the sky dark but starlight is no less charming to watch.. Time shows at 10pm, have I been here all this time? I saw Serkan arrive to stand up and walk out of the park. From a distance I saw a car and Emre got out of the car with a cup of coffee in his hand. Hand them to take and drink and then they pass away.. What exactly are you doing now, Almira? Are you waiting for him? My heart and mind are so fucked up that it's hard to control. Conscious almira.. That's not your place.

“ Rey... Kireys.. Did you see almira? This morning where did he go? The day after yesterday He asked me to accompany him today either where”
Said Lilian who tried to wake Kirey up
“ Haah?? He left early this morning in a hurry to rush”
“ What??”
“ She is dressed formally. . . . Looks like he's back for his therapy session.”
Said Kirey who woke up and sat in her bed
“ The boy..!! It seems like he has started to realize what is in his heart.”
“ But it looks like too, he prefers to retreat.”
“ What should we do to the child.”
“ Yes, I feel sorry for him. Especially if she cries silently silently.”
“ Yes you are right. Have you seen his room? Messy! With paper where, I'll bet last night he stayed up to look for data.”
“ Yes, with 8 thick books with laptop still on.”
“ This time it looks like Almira really seriously”
“ Yes..”
............................
“ Good morning Mr Onur"
Almira spoke in Turkish, greeting by knocking on the entrance
" Almira's? I thought you wouldn't come here this time either.."
“ Yes, I'm sorry sir onur"
“ Sit down, we'll start in half an hour"
“ Sorry Sir, before we start... Can I talk to you?"
Almira stood in front of Mr. Onur's desk and looked at him seriously
“ Of course. What do you want to talk about?"
I asked permission to take over in the therapy session this time. I want this to be the last time I get involved with him. I've been around too often.. Mr. Onur then called Serkan when he came and allowed me to take over next..
“ File.. Sorry, sit.. I ask that this time you do not need to sit on your back and you also do not need to take off your glasses”
“ What?”
“ Just listen to me.. I have also obtained permission from Mr. Onur”
“ Alright. Then what should..”.
“ Look and focus your eyes to look at me”
“ See you?”
“ Yes. Open your eyes don't close, look very focused on me.. Listen and answer all my questions without any time lag.”
“ Alright”
I started the last session of my therapy with him.. Mr. Onur watched me from the direction of his desk, emre was also ready to be beside me. I grabbed her hands and held them gently.. I brought my face closer to him and he responded well to me. Right now I'm turning around the question that always throws at him.. Not directly on the core memories of him but the memories of his childhood.. Adolescence.. And also how about the family and how she was raised.. So far serkan responds very well, then continues to the next stage in the form of questions about how his social relationships, personal, and activities.. Leave it still very positive here, then I ask him to give me advice..
“ I was hurt by a man I loved for not being able to be with him. The man closed his heart and mind. Whaddya think? What am I supposed to do?”
“ You love him so much? If yes, make him understand and not retreat”
“ How to? Do you know what it's like to be rejected when you love someone? Trying to survive like a weathered tree. No matter the time around and when it dawns all too late until you regret?”
“ Yes. I know.”
“ You know?? Tell me so I can understand what I have to do”
“ I am actually.... Aarrgghh!!!”
“ I know you're feeling dizzy.. Give me don't close your eyes and look at me!”
“ Can't. My head..”.
“ Can. Youcan. Look at me and try to remember.. Handcuff.. Look at me!!”
“ Almira. What am I supposed to do?”
Said Emre who looked Panic
“ Emre, hold his shoulder help him to stay seated but do not hold it with your strength. Do it slowly.”
“Baik”
“ Serkan? Take your breath and exhale.. Soften both your hands.”
“ Head.. Feeling sick almira”
“I know.. Slowly open your eyes.. Please.. Serkan?”
“ Aaarrghh!!”
“ Open your eyes.. Handcuff.. Look at me.”
It took a little while for Serkan who tried to calm down and remember all. Even though he looked like he was in a lot of pain, honestly this heavy heart saw him like that. But I tried to be professional and let it go by giving her time.. Serkan shortly subdued his body like a memory came smashing into his memory. With the fall of the glasses she wore, I tried to take it and look in her beautiful green eyeballs, Serkan was seen holding back her tears. Emre tried to refrain from helping and also felt sad before him. Before long Serkan re-enforced his body and looked at me sharply.
“ . . . . . . Almira, I saw you”
“ Say.. What happened to you Serkan?”
“ The woman I love betrayed me and therefore I killed my sister”
“ Kill? Is that what you're thinking? Then afterwards? What happened?”
“ Me.... Me...”
“ View me.. I said you don't close your eyes.. Serkan's? Lookatme! Why did you give it up? Don't many love you? Why are you closing your heart and mind?”
Said Almira holding both hands Serkan trying to calm him down
“ I'm afraid, afraid to be a coward”
“ You know not everything is your fault? Even you may be innocent”
“ What..? Do you remember everything?”
“ . . . I. . . .Yes. . . I remember now. I remember"
Serkan who held his head up looked at Almira and Emre
“ FOOT?? "
Emre said in surprise and held back her crying
“ I remember now.... What the hell is going on.. That night, the fight, Safiye came and.”.
Suddenly Serkan tried to cover his face so that no one would see that he was crying
“Good.. Relax, breathe slowly.. Let your memories flow.”
Said Almira who again grasped both hands Serkan
“ Mobile... Hospital..My promise... Emre, Mom and, DAD??”
“ They're fine, brother, have you remembered everything?”
Said Emre who could no longer hold back her crying
“ What happened to me? Why me...”.
Leave finally realized and with as if trying her undeniable sense of crying
I took my hand off her and I let the crying Emre take my seat to hug the big brother she loved so much.. It was seen that Mr. Onur was surprised and quickly approached Serkan and saw his current condition.. Serkan was sweating a lot and looked a little pale, but this time he succeeded.. He managed to find himself.. I don't know why unconsciously, I shed my tears.. Why am I the same as Emre who cried this time? Emre even seemed to be able to hide her cries, but why not me? Once done, Mr. Onur no longer gives a piece of paper to me but he is like giving a paper that emulsifies the recognition of 2 certificates of validation for the best Master's Degree.. And the second certificate contains permission for me in the field of work. Can I finally work in a hospital? Or my own clinic? I looked directly at Mr. Onur..
“ You deserve these 2 certificates. Good job almira.)
“ Sir onur. . . . ."
Almira was crying in front of him
“ Don't cry. I'm afraid if someone sees you they'll misunderstand you)
“ Thank you very much mr onur"
“ You deserve it. Good luck"
I walked towards the exit, as if I had forgotten about the serkan and emre.. I was silent when I saw them outside waiting for me.. Looking at the certificate sheet in my hand, emre pointed a finger at me like he was proud and congratulated me.. I smiled at him too.. Then my gaze leads to serkan. Under such conditions, he tried to hold himself back in order to stay awake.. He stepped slowly towards me and put one of his hands on my head.. He rubbed it gently and smiled at me without saying anything.. I grabbed her hot hand and held it.. As usual, he was sweating so much with his breathing down..
I want to say are you okay? Immediately improve.. I feel sad to see you every time you're like this.. But it seemed like he understood my gaze without me saying much. He simply returned my grasp and brought his face closer and tapped his forehead against my forehead.. Feeling the heat from him, his breathing grew more and more stifled.. He also raised his head back, arriving like losing balance emre immediately approached and memapah handing towards the car.. As I tried to follow them, the handcuffs suddenly turned around and looked at me.. Then with both of his hot hands on my shoulders, it pushed me back.. It was evident from his gaze that this time I did not have to look after him all night.. Without saying any more he turned his body and emre immediately took him into the car and they passed away. When he saw her leaving, someone came and hugged me..
“ ALMIRAAAA.. CONGRATULATIONS!! We know you will succeed in a short time”
Hazal and Ozge spoke Turkish, running and hugging Almira
“ Thank you Hazal... Ozge..”
“ So, what are you going to do next”
“ Just focus until graduation day. Coincidentally my thesis was finished”
“ Turns out you graduated first from us. We will miss you very much mir.”
“ Heyyy.. Not that I'm back in Indonesia tomorrow right?”
“ We should celebrate.. COME!!”
" Where?"
They turned out to take me to a restaurant owned by Mr. Mete and Mr. Ozcan. As soon as we got there and tried to find a seat, Ozcan arrived half-run at me and hugged me tightly.. Mr. Mete smiled happily to see me.. Then Hazal told them about what achievements I had today, they also looked very happy and also felt proud for me.. Then Mr. Mete prepared a desk in the back and said there was no need to pay for the food and drinks we would order. As if understanding I would feel the objection of cashew bay to his ears and ozcan hanim slightly pinch my hand..
Suddenly I remembered the handing over and it seemed that emre had not told them.. Is he home alone now? I also told them the current state of handing them over, but they gave a different expression.. They look surprised with a blank look, suddenly Mr. Mete raised his head up as if trying to hold back his tears, while Mr. Ozcan was crying unbearably.. I really understand how they feel, I also reminded them of the condition of the attack that returned a fever.. They immediately prepared to be ready, took the car keys and passed away.. I went back and sat on the bench that Mr. Mete had prepared, Hazal and Ozge looked very satisfied in ordering food at this time, I could only laugh at their childlike behavior..
..............................
Time went a little bit this time.. Is it because I have no job? Do I have to go back to work there? Ozcan is still offering me a job.. Good for my savings for about 3 months I will be here.. All right, I'll ask you at the right time.. I try to find activities at this time, ranging from sweeping, floor rag to dusty ones I clean all.. When I finished, I cleaned myself up and prepared to go for dinner. While preparing, suddenly there was a sound of the door opening, it turned out lilian and kirey had just returned from campus..
“ Congratulations mir.. We are very proud of loh”
“ Hmm..? Are you guys gonna buy me a meal?”
“ Mir.. Are you coming home sooner than me and Lilian?”
“ You know my course has been fulfilled.. My academic journal is finished and my thesis is only a final review”
“ Why arrived I feel so sad this time?”
“ Yes.. So remember the first time we came here”
“ Come.. You can still come here as you please kan”
“ You mean mir?”
“ Kirey you have hammet, Lilian you have emre”
“ Almira.!!”
“ If you come back to reminisce, buy me a plane ticket too.. Your husband-to-be is rich.. So it looks like there will be no problem right.”
“ MIRAAA.!!”
“ Ehehehe.. But seriously I asked. You guys going on a long distance relationship? Have you been talked about carefully? How's your family?”
“ As you know when my parents came here last month, Hammet went to see them.. We talked about a lot of hal”
“ Good.. And you're lillian?”
“ Doesn't Emre also have a family in Indonesia because of handing over? He said at least once a year he visited Indonesia, so if I were to marry him I wouldn't have to worry about that. My family has seen it through video calls she introduced herself”
“ Good..Wait.. does that mean after this you directly work here?”
“ Serkan had offered me work, but I was worried.”.
“ Why?”
“ I want to try myself.. Although serkan said the recruitment process of their company is not easy”
“ Very like her!!”
“ Yes you are right. Shitty right?”
“ As a big company leader, I think it's natural he's like that”
“ WOWWOOW... Someone defended it.. Ciyeee”
“ As a leader.... Leader in his heart. ahahaha.”
“ What? Wasn't it! my point is..”
“ Yes Yaaa.. You asked for a food treat, right? Let's go to dinner.. Coincidentally I'm hungry”
“ It's good we eat where ya?”
“ I heard the newly opened dining place is delicious.”
“ Did you guys switch the conversation??!! Heyey.. Lilian.. Kireys... Wait for me!”
