Attracting a Heart-Captured Dragon
Chapter 6's
This winter did require me to be outside more.So it made me wake up from my bed and look for drugs, just to treat the dizziness and chills that never stop. But I could find none of the medicine, requiring me to go out and buy it. As soon as I finished cleaning myself and prepared, becoming aware of a hanging suit made me feel warm.. If I knew that day the company I went to was where it worked, maybe I could just give it back.. I then tried to fold the suit as neatly as possible and I would return it to her when I met her.
It did not feel like a medium-sized red-brown notebook had fallen from the suit and was clearly above my feet. Feeling curious about the ownership of this Note, I tried to open the notebook and was so surprised to see the contents of this note book. There was a medium-sized photo on the front page right when I opened the first page. In the photo Serkan smiled happily with a very beautiful woman next to him.. The slightly curly long hair unravels with a slight embellishment in the caramel colored hair, the red hue on the cheeks as well as the lips and round eyes that make this woman so enchanting.. And they look very perfect with each other, especially with Serkan who is next to him. The ring attached to their fingers is very clear. Anyone who saw this photo could definitely immediately guess what kind of relationship they had..
The curiosity made me open page after page.. I know very well that what I am doing right now is not commendable, but I don't know why I'm still looking into the contents of this notebook. Then in the middle there is a collection of mobile phone numbers and names beside them. At first I thought it must be his coworker, but after seeing the next page I asked. How can there be a list of restaurants and hotels with different names on each page? The more I was curious I sat down at my study table and tried to read it very seriously this time.
“ Armagan Monday, 7pm at Garden Mezze.. Then Berk on Wednesday at 10am went to Balat, Emir at Cocos the club solto from 23 to 25, Gulbahar at Artemis cave suites and spa on Tuesday next week at 5 pm. . . . What's this?”?
What's wrong with this woman? The four names of this man who most often contact him not only twice they meet, as it will always meet in the future.. I tried to find out what kind of place or location is meant in this note book, I think this is a formal business meeting place or restaurant meeting place, nuanced restaurant, but it seems like this place is devoted to people who already have a lover and go with him to spend time together. But isn't he engaged to serkan? I tried to go to the next page, page after page and then I saw some pictures of this woman with a man at another time and place, different places, this woman looks very happy and enjoys her time with the man.. This is the woman's notebook? So it's not Serkan's? So why is it in his hands? Does he always carry around this notebook? Then.. Every date with the number 4 when he sat alone he always saw this notebook? What's on his mind? It was obvious that he was getting hurt and miserable but still he did that.. I'm sure it's not just for this reason that he's in that condition.. What exactly happened to him.
The condition of the body that was protesting also tormented me when my body temperature increased but I had to go to campus after Mr. Onur gave a short message and called me and 3 other friends who graduated at the seminar the lecture at that time. Today's meeting at 11 pm in his room, I went straight to campus. Upon entering Mr. Onur's room, on his desk there are already 10 maps containing data written about one's psychological report. Mr. Onur then told us to choose 1 out of 10 examples of cases he was working on until now, then after that we had to make an academic journal. Hearing that my friends look so enthusiastic, but it doesn't seem to me. Because, with the assignment of this journal, my time to work becomes narrow, as well as the additional points of my lectures are getting denser.. But inevitably, I also have to choose one of these maps. I don't think I'll have time for a month.
All maps have different colors with the name written from the Pak Onur client. I saw all the maps and names listed above, but immediately my eyes stopped on the red map that read the name Serkan above it. I picked it up for whatever reason I took it. Is this the Serkan I know? There are so many chances that I will make a mistake.. Didn't Serkan meet with Onur bey several times, but he actually came here to conduct therapy sessions not for business purposes? It seems right, even Emre delivered it and as I recall Emre said, Serkan was doing his SESSION. I looked at the contents of the initial summary of the written client history - BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder)-.
I re-open the medical history of what has been done and how long this treatment has been running.. It is written that the client has been doing therapy more than a year ago.. What has been his development all along? How's everyday? I wanted to try to read it again, but Mr. Onur suddenly took the map from my hand..
“ Almira, will you review this data? If you are willing, send me this Research data in the next 3 weeks. How's almira?"
Said Mr. Onur in Turkish while holding a Map to hand over to me
“ Good Mr onur"
Mr. Onur then recorded the details of the student affairs that in this case, and I will observe and evaluate the treatment and any developments that are needed. The next page is written here during the interview session, I was able to attend with Mr. Onur and the client (patient) signed an agreement for us to jointly try to deal with the case chosen by each of us. Maybe more precisely I will be as an assistant to Mr. Onur at the Therapy Session interview later. If so, I really have to prepare data and discussion groups related to this matter.. Whether shrouded in curiosity and so on, I quickly walked to the campus library and searched for all things related to - BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder)-.
The time I spent in the library made me almost forget my hours at the restaurant.. I immediately finished the book I read and hurried off to the restaurant.. When I got there, I changed my clothes and went to work.. Will he come this afternoon? I've brought her suit to hand it back to her.. The restaurant is currently quite crowded, so I did not focus that emre was already sitting in the chair that he used to sit in waiting for the handover.. I looked at him too, and I saw emre taking my eyes off to look at him.. And as usual in this cold weather, he was still sitting in the same seat with an aura of sadness attached to him..
Emre and Mr. Mete could only breathe out his long breath seeing a serkan like that, every month on the same date.. Somehow I was curious about what kind of relationship Mete Bay and his wife had to hand over so they could get this close.. Ozcan hanim is a cousin of Hazal.. When Mete Bay and ozcan hanim returned to customer service, they told me and 2 of my colleagues to take a break while waiting for customers to finish the food and drinks they ordered.. It didn't take long, I ventured to walk towards emre to ask him..
“ Hey.. How you been lately?”
Said the almira sitting on the chair in front of Emre
“ As usual. You how's mir?”
“ Seperi you saw.. Hmm, Emre if you don't mind, I have something to ask you”
“ Sure. What is it?”
“ Can you tell me how Mr Mete and Mr Ozcan know Serkan so well? Can I ask you this?”
“ Mete and I grew up together in 1 environment, she was the same age as me and with our abi only 2 years younger than her. When I was able to go to college and so on because of abi's parents who paid me and considered me as one of their children, mete married at a young age and decided to work in one of the restaurants. Then one day, when Abi and I became customers at his place of work, cashew was accused of a mistake that caused him to be fired while at that time his wife was pregnant and would give birth in the near future.. At first abi did not know the cashew, but because I introduced him, they became very close. Abi then gives a new job for him after approximately 4 years, look at him now. This restaurant is also one of the abi support to Mete and ozcan.. Even the cost of childbirth at that time was paid by abi, I used to sometimes abi also provide financial assistance every month before Mete finally became successful as it is now.”
Hearing Emre's story, I was stunned.. Why can a person who I think is almost perfect, get to such a position.. I looked back at Emre this time, he looked at Serkan with pity and worry clearly emanated from his face. Likewise with Mr. Mete and Mr. Ozcan, although they are also busy helping to serve guests, but occasionally their views can be seen looking towards the outside of the restaurant to make sure he is fine alone there. Should I go back and talk to him? I also actually want to return her suit.. But I immediately remembered the notebook and tried to ask Emre again..
“ I know very well, you do not mugnkin explain it in great detail.. But at least can give me a little information about. . . . .Her fiance??”
“ Aaa.. WHAY?? Where are you from..”.
Said Emre who was so surprised
“ I wasn't intentionally to find out, but I found a notebook that seemed to belong to her fiance in Jas Serkan's pocket. And I'm sorry, out of curiosity I read it.”
Almira who was bowed was ashamed of her attitude before Emre
“ Broadly all started because of the woman.. If I had known that day would cause trouble for big brother, I would have stopped him. Surely he wouldn't be like that”
“ Honestly, I'm afraid to think and argue.. But, is his fiancee a...”.
“ Yes. You saw so many lists of men's mobile phones and also where they met, right? Even they are very neat. Metelah who helped me know the identity of the woman”
“ What? Means my guess is correct?”
“ If you know any other deeper problems. You probably wouldn't have expected, with that incident he can still behave normally like this.”
“ Means.. He did the consultation and therapy sessions with Mr Onur? Then, give me what I'll...... Is he right??”
“ Mr Onur has contacted us, you will make an academic journal, right? I hope you can make a thorough assessment, not of obscure information. Let me know if you need anything.”
“ What do you mean?”
Emre stopped explaining it to me and I could see that Emre's facial expression became very serious looking at Serkan. Now I know how the three of them are related, so it might be easier for me to work on my academic journal if there's anything I need to know about it.. When I tried to get back to the pantry, Mr. Mete and Mr. Ozcan came to me and brought back my winter jacket and handed it to me, begging me to talk back to him with a clear face.. Honestly, I actually objected to their request this time, but they seemed very begging to me and finally I agreed. I put on my jacket and walked towards it, as if I could feel my presence, Serkan turned his head just before I sat next to him..
“ Are you here to tell me ghosts again?”
Say draw it while taking off his glasses and putting them in a suit
“ aahh, you turned out like a ninja.. Though I try not to make the slightest sound”
Almira was sitting next to serve by tidying up his jacket
“ this time what are you going to tell me?”
“ You don't mind me accompanying you?”
“ Objection. Because I want to be alone.”
“ So, why do you also want me to accompany you?”
“ That's also a question I asked myself. There's a part of me that wants you here, but there's also a part of me that wants you to go.”
“ Give, Aapaaa... You've heard from Mr. Onur, that I will...”.
“ Almira, did you take this study because I was the object? Or are you really interested in my illness? Or is there another reason?”
“ No.. And also Yes. Or you could say both are my reasons.. I'm not gonna lie to you just because I want to keep your feelings. And I won't do you like a patient! You should know it”
“ Hmm.. I thought you were that kind of woman. It is also your attraction without you realizing”
Almira who looked Serkan very seriously while interpreting him
“ Interested and Liked it different thing.”
Say draw the one who turns his face away
“ High self-esteem.. And you smile when I ask you a serious question.. Then I pull my words, In the future can you say our relationship is a doctor and patient?? What can it be called that??”
“ This time I seem to have to throw back your words just now, High self-esteem??”
Hand the downcast and looked back at the Bosphorus strait with a smile on his face
“ Kann. You smile again when I speak seriously to you. Hand it, how's your hand? What injury that time left a mark?”
“ Wounds? Aah, so you remember that?”
“ Sorry, at that time I thought you were like one of us and Emre was Mr. Onur's business partner. Because, in my memory you look very different.”
“ I don't blame you.”
“ Have you been so kind to me because of the head wound, so you feel guilty?”
“ Honest yes. But the more I get to know you, for whatever reason it all changes.”
“ You mean.?”
Said Almira who looked at Serkan very seriously
“ Forget. Think of it as your saying, the good between fellow human beings.”
“ Do you not mind if someone asks me about the incident of Mr Ilker's event at that time? With your current position, I'm sure there must be a lot of stories spread.. Does it not affect your work? And also, you yourself.?”.
“ Are you worried about me? Or are you afraid of being my girlfriend?”
“ Forget! Forgetit. I actually want to ask you about your free time too.. I promised to keep your stomach full so you don't look creepy.”.
Said Almira while misbehaving by tidying up his jacket
“ What, am I as scary as that?”
“ If with your face and appearance like this? Looks like, the ladies were stunned when they saw you.”
“ Do you admit I'm handsome?”
Serkan suddenly looked at Almira with a ignorant smile on his face
“ What is it?? AHAA... Stopit! Back to my question, you haven't answered it.”
Almira said that she was wrong again
“ Feriye.. Lokanta Feriye.”
“ What??”
“ I'm free this Saturday. What about dinner?”
“ Oo.. Okay.. Perfect.”
“ I will make a reservation, make sure you wear the correct clothes this time when I pick you up.”
Say Serkan with a cynical look towards Almira then smiled
“ Stop insinuating me.. And this, I also want to return this suit to you.. Thank you.”
“ Do you wear while sleeping too?”
Say the Drawer that took the bag bag bag out of Almira's hand
“ What?! Look now, who has high self-confidence??”
“ Alright I lost. Almira, didn't you deliver me coffee? Do you mind bringing it to me now?”
Without saying any more, I immediately got up from my seat and walked back to the restaurant.. I quite understand the meaning of his current words and surely he will open the notebook by himself at this moment.. Why would he have to do something that hurt himself like that? When would he feel better if he continued to do such a thing.. Even therapy sessions or maybe drugs are only able to inhibit or relieve the burden for a moment but not to treat it.. I walked back inside and told Mr. Mete that he wanted the coffee he used to make.. Instantly without saying Mr. Mete immediately made the coffee.. While waiting, I tried to walk to the side of the restaurant because somehow my head was getting dizzy and my body seemed to feel weak.. But as soon as I leaned against one of the walls, I heard that 2 female employees were resting and talking..
“ I heard the man caused the accident"
One of the female employees spoke Turkish
“ True.. His condition looks worse than before.
“ I feel sorry for Mr. Mete and Mr. Ozcan who had to deal with this man's problem."
“ Even though he's handsome and rich, he's actually scary isn't he?"
The guy they're talking about, right? What did they say was the cause of the accident? With her innate nature it seems unlikely that she is that type of person even though sometimes she is annoying but still it seems that I disagree with their current opinion. What the hell is going on? Should I just ask emre, now don't I have a clear reason as an aid in overcoming psychological problems, right? I'll talk to emre. But unfortunately as soon as I tried to walk to talk to Emre, I fell to my feet on the floor feeling my balance floating away.. I tried to wake up and stand back up to go inside. While walking to approach Emre, Mr. Mete called and said Emre and Serkan suddenly left because there was a very urgent business in the office that must be resolved immediately.. I also went back to work..
I did not feel the time dragged into the night and the restaurant was closed according to the schedule, for some reason I became accustomed to having a reminder to bring the coffee that was usually ordered by him. And as I recall, he ordered coffee, but I haven't been able to give it. On the way home, I waited at our usual place to meet. Time does not feel running minutes to minutes so it does not feel almost 1 hour I stand here with the cold weather tonight.. What exactly am I doing now? Wasn't it obvious that Mete Bay told me he was back in the office. Why am I hypnotized into doing things I shouldn't have done? It dawned on me that I turned my body to walk home, feeling unable to cope with the cold weather tonight. My head is getting dizzy at the moment..
When I started to move my legs, suddenly hand appeared with a sigh as if he ran here to meet me.. And as usual his appearance had changed unlike that of this afternoon. Send me walking towards me and then stop in front of me.. It was seen a gust of cold fine mist coming out from within his mouth while breathing.. His nose is a little red.. Did he really run here to see me?
“ Sorry.. Looks like your order coffee has cooled.”
“ WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE! Don't you know what the temperature is tonight?? Why do you always worry me? Can't you just be an adult?!”
He immediately gave me the scarf he was carrying and wrapped it around my neck.. The cold coffee I brought immediately fell down as she took off the gloves she was wearing to put on my hand, my hair that was slightly wet from the snow, she gently wiped it with her handkerchief. He pulled me in, took me to his car.. But somehow my head feels dizzy and my vision feels spinning.. I let go of the hand grip and stopped for a moment trying to stay awake.. Handing her over and looking at me, she seemed worried about me.. Almira, don't let you make trouble for her again.. I tried to walk past him but he pulled my arm gently, the last thing I remember was I saw snowflakes falling on me and it looked like Serkan was calling my name with his worried face.. Or did he say anything else? Why do my eyes feel heavy and my head feels so dizzy..
