Attracting a Heart-Captured Dragon
Chapter 4's
The morning came again, though the sunlight was still covered in clouds of ash. Today was a meeting with Mr. Karem regarding the additional points of my lecture and he never stopped asking me to be a temporary lecturer assistant.. To be honest if I wanted to say I really wanted to do that was an opportunity for me to learn more, but I was afraid I could not focus because of my increased side work and the thesis I was working on as well.. Karem Bey finally tried to understand back where I meant the direction of my conversation even though for the second time I refused his request, again trying to focus I immediately continued with the lecture class today.
Arriving at the apartment to re-prepare myself to work in the gallery, seen the dress emblazoned with the blowing of the wind that fluttered the curtains of the room window. Is that kirey's work? As he said, reshuffle with a slick that is very beautiful so that when wearing it does not look too short and open.. And yes, I almost forgot that today is ilker's birthday in the gallery at night.. If kirey doesn't put on this dress, it looks like I'll accidentally forget today's invitation. But I only realized then saw a memo on the table beside the dress that I would wear that said,
*Mir\, I hope you like the dress that I remodeled and I'm sorry\, I promise to make you makeup.. But it turns out I have a sorority event in my department with the college lecturer tonight.. Ok?*
How's this.. I can't make makeup at all.. If Lilian can't either, do I have to be the closest candidate just to make up? By wearing this dress? Lilian.. I hope you can..
"Hello mir?"
“ Hello Li.. You, where are you now?”
Almira who kept the phone away from her ear because it was too noisy
“ Me? I'm having an event with a college friend going to see a music show.. What's wrong mir?”
“ What?? Ti's.. No. gabe.. Just ask.”
“ Are you ready to go too? Send your photo dong, want to see the work of kirey.”
“ Actually, kirey is also not here..”.
“ WHAT?? Then how are you mir? I'm sorry, I think kirey helped you, because earlier he said he was ready to help.”.
“ Already, it's okay.”
“ Alright then. Will there be ozge? At least I feel a little calm.”
“ Yes, he said he will also come.. I close the phone first I'll call back.”
How's this.. Of course I have no right to be upset right now.. But, I am the type of woman who can't decorate more.. Honestly, the appearance I used so far is very simple even sometimes kirey, lillian also mocked me with old singles slogan if you like that.. Want how else I finally try to decorate according to the ability I have and not too excessive, because before the birthday ceremony Ilker, I have to work first.. As soon as I finished I rushed to the gallery tonight..
When I arrived at the gallery, I immediately changed my clothes with the official clothes that the gallery gave me and immediately cleaned the upper floor room area, different from the one ilker will use tonight.. While working, began to sound crowded and rowdy from the outside of the gallery, it looks like the event will begin soon because invited guests have started to arrive.. It looks like luxury cars come and go and women and men come in pairs with clothes and decorated with very luxurious and beautiful.. It turned out like this to the upper class when holding a show, I thought I could only see it through TV or film only.. I also returned to finish my work immediately and prepared to return to attend the ilker event tonight.. I tried to re-decorate it with the skills I could and put on an overhauled ilker dress.. After I finished I immediately walked out to the main event room area to meet the ilker.
As soon as I got to the entrance, I walked down the street decorated with small lights along the eye.. What a beautiful decoration that adorns this room.. My eyes looked for where Ilker was because he wanted to congratulate him with a little gift from me.. As I walked towards the ilker I don't know why I felt all eyes on me.. It seems like they see me because my appearance is not the same as theirs, of course I think differently.. One comes from the Asian continent and one European continent, but then why? What's wrong with that? I tried to ignore all these eyes and continued walking to see Ilker.. Ozge seems to have not realized my presence at this time because he was talking to his friend at the corner of the table which is quite far from where I am today..
" Happy birthday Mr. Ilker.."
Almira also handed over the box for the gift she had prepared
“ Thank you.."
"I'm preparing this little gift for you. Hope you like it"
Suddenly 2 women who stood right in front of me stepped forward and forcefully and very rudely took the gift for the advertiser from his hand and opened the lid of the box.. I asked who these 2 women were? Surprisingly once they saw the contents of my gift, they laughed at me and with their piercing glances as if they hated me for some unknown reason.. Yes, the small gift is a handkerchief that is commonly used to be folded outside the pocket of the suit that Mr. ilkler used, I bought it with my own labor and not at a cheap price for me. Is that embarrassing? Then they took the handkerchief and waved to all the invited guests as if so that all the invited guests could see it, so that it could be heard with insults laugh at me..
“ I heard you got a scholarship here.. You look smart but you're not! How dare you come here?! You're a janitor, but how dare you come here?."
One woman said she spoke Turkish with a condescending view of Almira
“If the university finds out what you're doing tonight, you won't know what to do. Can you see the dress she's wearing? Did you buy it from the market?"
Another woman spoke out laughing at Almira
All the laughter turned towards me now and their gazes full of insults towards me were again visible.. And why did they bring me the prihal where I went to college? How do they know I got a scholarship? What if it's true what they say, if the campus itself gets unpleasant info about me, then......... What should I do now?! Where am I supposed to go? Why are they doing this to me and what is my fault? Does social status really affect the world? Isn't it ilker Bey who invited me and not because of my desire to come here?
Trying to turn my gaze to find a way to the exit, Ozge stood firmly beside his desk.. Wow, she's so charming tonight, she looks so beautiful, it's so different from me and I don't know why I feel so embarrassed tonight.. All still laughing at me with a condescending look, Ozge who saw me at this moment looked unacceptable, then he lifted a little long dress that he was wearing to walk towards me.. However, he hadn't gotten to me yet somehow Ozge came to a halt with a surprised look as if someone was behind me.. Instantly the atmosphere seemed to be silent and the look on their faces all looked different when they saw me, the laughter of humiliation I heard stopped. The stretch of a hand that was coiled around my waist felt very warm and also soft.. Who is..??
“ Dear.. Did you wait long?"
Said a man by wrapping his hands around Almira's waist
All eyes suddenly looked at me at this moment, looking shocked from the gazes of all of them, not even a single one commented at this moment. It's as if this man's presence can interfere with everything in this room.. I myself look at him with question marks, what is he doing right now with this look? It is like the earth and the sky, much different in appearance if juxtaposed with me at this time.. Does he not feel ashamed? And he even called me "SAYANG" in Turkish. As far as I know this call they usually use for their lovers or their wives.. But, why did he call me this time with...... Not finished I asked with a mouth that could not say, suddenly he pulled me closer to him so that I did not realize I was leaning in front of him, then he brought his face closer to me and whispered softly in my ear.
When you obey me. I'll make them pay for what they did to you.
"Sirkan Pak? I didn't know you could be here tonight after turning down some invitations from me. And sorry, I don't know your partner's almira"
With Turkish, Raut and ilker expressions that instantly changed and seemed to feel fear
“ Yes. I told her to wait for me after she finished her work today. But he didn't listen to me"
“ Alright, let me know when you need something"
“ Actually, I need a room (room) to dress up and change clothes. Where can I get it"
Say Serikan to ilker very seriously
“ Ka, room? Ahhh, of course.. Gunza will take you and Almira there"
“ Thank you"
Serikan took Almira away without saying anything more to ilker
His hand that was still coiled around my waist at this time then pulled me gently to leave the ilker and follow Gunza to the room in question.. What will he do again this time? Why would he take me to a room? Should I follow him? But with his hand tightly coiled around my waist like this it would be very difficult for me to try to dodge.. Before we arrived at the room intended, gunza stopped and suddenly appeared before us by bringing 4 people with him along with a bag and whatever equipment they were carrying.. From their appearance, it looks like they are very professional and do not play.. What do they want with me? Gunza then went back to walk and showed the room in question then passed away to return to the main area of the ilker bey event.. Then he let go of his hand..
“ Log in and get ready. I'll wait outside. They are highly trained and have been used to serving my family, so be calm and trust them”
“ Sorry, But. What exactly are you.”
“ Log in and get ready first.”
Serkan opened the room door and once I entered it was seen waiting for 4 women who had come with emre, he closed the door and was really waiting for me outside.. The service I get is like if I go to a boutique or five-star salon.. Before long Emre then knocked on the door and went inside to make sure first because there are 3 long dress stels that have been attached with a party bag, highheels shoes that look very beautiful, even I think it's more beautiful than the ozge worn.. How much is this dress? Is it okay if I wear it? Emre also asked me to immediately choose which dress I would use because they still have to decorate me.. I finally chose a maroon dress wrapped in luxurious gold.. Besides not being too open, I think this dress looks very luxurious.. I saw Emre smiling at me..
“ What's the matter??... Emre, did I choose wrong? Justsaytheword. So, which one should I choose?”
“ No.. No. gabe. I didn't think it turned out that the dress you chose was actually a direct choice by Serkan Bey. But, out of doubt finally told us to choose 2 other dresses”
“ Really..?”
“ If I ask why, would you say again If the time is right then would I explain everything to you??”
“ Sure. But for now I can only say, he came here because you said he was coming tonight. For another reason, if you're still curious, ask him. I won't bother you anymore, get ready and meet him”.
“ Emre's.. Thank you.”
Emre nodded his head at me and left this room. They immediately struck me like lightning.. Face, hair, from top to bottom I was treated like a royal princess.. As soon as I finished, the hands of these women seemed to have the right magic really made it difficult for me to say.. Who's that woman in the mirror? Is that me? Honest to myself too I feel like I got the nickname from the tale of the ugly duckling who transformed into a very beautiful goose.. I thanked them all and they hugged me, then told me to walk to the exit of the room to meet him.. When they opened the door for me, he seemed to turn his back on me and he was surprised but he tried to hold it back.. His gaze was so deep looking at me, that it made me slightly misbehave in front of him.. Then he stretched out his hand and bent his arm at me like a prince pleading for permission to the princess.. I ended up wrapping my hands around her arms and we walked around like a couple tonight..
Upon entering the main room, all eyes were immediately on the two of us.. Even ilker Bay and the 2 women who were with him were very surprised to see me.. As if he had hidden intentions, he deliberately took me before them and again wrapped his hands around my waist.. At the moment my appearance looks very harmonious if juxtaposed next to the turkan, very different from before.. Then they came and talked, but I could not say anything because I was afraid to make a mistake.. I'll let you hand me the lead tonight.. All the women present in this room looked at me more and more sharp and spicy because in their view it was like saying that I did not deserve to be next to the hand and told me to leave.. Feeling uneasy, I finally tried to distance the two of us by taking a step towards the right.. But leave it like it can read my movements, so swiftly he pulled me back to stand right next to him like it was true we were lovers.. Leave her to turn her face back to me just to say..
" Can't you smile? They look here, at least work with me".
Leave the one that wrapped his hand to Almira, slightly pulling her closer to him
" A.. I know, you think I didn't try? It's me smiling!"
" You look creepy. Stop your smile."
Say Serkan with a smile but slightly muttered with annoyance beside Almira
" You should feel what women feel wearing a dress in the middle of winter at night like this..!! Do you want to try it?".
Almira who flicked the bottom of her dress with a sour face
" It seems like they don't have a problem, aren't they women?"
The look of Serkan's eyes that deliberately led to a group of women standing up
" I don't know what their bodies are made of, I'm amazed by them..."
" . . . . . . . . . ."
Serkan was speechless unable to reply to Almira's words, and left her just outside the room`1
" Ap's.. Wha what?? Why look at me like that?? Wait for.. Oye.. Where are you going, why leave me? Hand it!"
" I don't know why I came and did this."
" So, you're sorry you came to help me? I'm not suing..."
Time was stopped when the call suddenly pulled my body as if I could not resist until it ended up leaning against her front and warm chest. Our bodies became too close to the perfume she was wearing, as if hypnotizing me to put up no resistance. The sound of someone apologizing and the sound reminded him to be careful..
" Are you okay?"
" Thank you, I didn't see the waitress who was walking earlier.."
" Do you want to be here or go home? I'll take you"
" WHAT?? NO NEED.. I CAN TAKE A TAXI"
" With a dress you wear in the middle of the night like this?"
". . . . . . . . . . ."
Almira was downcast embarrassed to hear the words of Serkan who refused to make it difficult
" Look, I'll take you home"
Hand over the one that seemed to understand, immediately turned around and walked towards the exit lobby
"Te.. Thank you.."
Walking towards the main gate of the exit, the warm hand was still holding me tightly until Emre then came to deliver a car to the drive to deliver me.. But this time it is not the emre who drives, but rather hand it over who will drive me.. Emre looked down and passed away in a car that was waiting for him. Hold still.. Does that mean we'll be alone? What should I talk to him about later? I'm too nervous right now to be alone with him.. But the situation was different and we had no choice but to go together.
“ Thank you for tonight”
“ Consider it the goodness of fellow human beings. I also have no other intention.”
Did he return my words that day? What's wrong with him now? Just now he smiled at me but within minutes he looked up from the look on his face like he was upset with me.. During the event I tried not to say anything because I was afraid to make a mistake and embarrassed him.. But why is he like this now?
“ Sorry.. Are you mad at me?”
“ Mr. Onur told me that you are one of his favorite students because you are smart and can read every condition quickly and precisely. But I see tonight you're the opposite.”
“ What?”
“ You came to an event that you didn't know about what to do the show was about, the clothes, or what the point of the show was. If you're an adult you should prefer.”
“ I'm not used to attending high-profile events like you”
“ Funny. You think we or you said just now the upper class, don't understand what we're doing like just wasting time, money?”
“ Indeed like that which looks”
“ Looks like you were wrong majored in your lecture that”
“ What?”
“ I'm the type of person who doesn't repeat the second word”
“ Lower me”
“ With those clothes and in the cold weather like this? If you can still think, stop and control your EGO it”
“ EGO? ME?”
What a bitch this guy is!! If I had brought my winter jacket that emre had brought earlier, I might have jumped out of this car! What's the matter with him exactly? For a second he helped me, you could say he saved me while he was there. Yet this second he even kind of vilified me? What right does he have to say this to me? Driving in silence in the middle of the night, the cold weather pierced me, without saying as the red light and the car came to a halt, hand her open the suit she was wearing and give it to me by slightly loosening the tie she was wearing and changing the AC setting in her car. What's really wrong with him? He was angry with me for a second but treated me like this?
