Attracting a Heart-Captured Dragon
Chapter 8's
The weather begins to warm, the winter is about to end, ready to enter early spring. Sky Clouds are no longer as gray as usual, so even thick jackets can begin to be replaced with warm Cardigans. Starting During these 4 days focus on working on academic journals. Conscious looking for all the data related or maybe even can help me. A reminder came on my phone and it said Lokanta Feriye, Dinner. Wait, is it Saturday? Why did I forget a day like this? And what to wear? Did I go back to wearing the dress that Serkan gave me back then? But it looks like the dress looks really fancy when it's just for dinner.. I tried to look at the contents of my closet and there didn't seem to be a single dress I could use, and it was very impossible for me to find and buy a new one. Finally, as usual, I used my last card..
“ Hey sist.. Li.. Rey's.. Do you have a dress you can use for dinner at the restaurant?”
Almira was approaching Lilian and Kirey who were watching TV in the living room
“ WHAT..?!!”
Lilian and Kirey were shocked
“ Dress shirt for me to wear.. Can I borrow it?"
" Where are you going, Mir? With whom?. . . What with. . . ."
" Serkan invited me to dinner, Aahh it was wrong of me to ask him to return my cultivation to her. Then he decides the place.”
“ Ciyeee... At last. Where's mir?”?
“ Lokanta Feriye.”
“ Seriously? You have to bring a lot of money mir if there.”
“ Indeed.. What's the place like?”
“ I'm pretty sure Serkan must have made a reservation, right? That place is good, Mir.. Suitable for dinner both of you.”
“ Looks like Kirey has gone there.. Who is sist?” with
“ Himmet.”
“ Wait.. Himmet Yafuz?? His family has a spare parts business of cars and motorcycles? I heard there's a big branch in town. Even he himself has started to develop his family business. Kirey, are you...”.
“ Yes.. When you accidentally introduced her to me.. From there we accidentally met again when I had an event with an art major in a gallery, then continued until now.”
" Did I miss something here?"
Almira said in confusion hearing Lilian and Kirey speak
“ Later mir, long story.. You should tell us later, Rey.. Okay?! But, first we have to make Almira like the Queen tonight.”
Lilian and Kirey pushed Almira into Lilian's room
“ What? Seriously? I just want to borrow.”
“ Noisy!! Follow us here”
Either it's just me, or Lilian and Kirey look so excited? They took out all the dresses, clutch bags, and luckily we had the same size legs. From one dress to the other, they're trying to put it on me.. Until finally they chose a cream-colored dress with pearl decoration with ivory white satin fabric.. Shoes and handbags make me look so different.. They also decorate me, even my long hair they change with a charming shape with the end given a pearl decoration. When they finished putting on my makeup, they told me to look in the mirror.. It was unexpected, I turned out to be able to appear like this again.. They themselves looked surprised after seeing the final results to me.. Serkan shortly made a call and said that he was waiting in the lower lobby.. Lilian and Kirey look cheering but also menahiliku at this time. With a smile I stepped away..
Heading out the lobby door, Serkan looks different than usual.. Suit suits integrated with a black shirt, his hair was neatly arranged so that it made him look dashing and handsome. From the glasses, watches, and shoes he uses as if perfectly integrated.. It dawned on me to look at her current gaze looking at me, as if surprised to see me look like this.. Her smile as she walked towards me and gave me a helping hand to help me down the stairs, feeling like a princess of the king. The car door that deliberately opened for me, honestly I had felt wrong with his treatment at this time. Being in the same car, suddenly he smiled back at me and I could not help but smile back and we went to bulldoze the city in the twilight into the night.
The night looks different from the lights. Arriving in front of the restaurant entrance, my car door was opened by a waiters and Serkan gave the car keys to him, then again stretched out his hand to me and I also wrapped my hand on his arm. As if we were really like lovers, some people looked at us.. No wonder Serkan's appearance tonight, surely many eyes will look at him. We walked towards the place that had been prepared, and again I was amazed by it.. Outdoor dining with chairs in the middle so that it is clearly visible views of the bosphorus strait and its connecting bridge where the lights are on look very beautiful.. Accompanied by the wind and also shady trees, making it feel soothing.. The special dinner area consists of only 8 tables that are far from the candles and flowers on the table.. Hand me a seat and set it back like a princess.
“ What do you want to eat?”
“ Hmm.. To be honest I've only come to a place like this for the first time, so I don't understand.”
“ Do you want me to order both of our dishes?”
“ Yes..”
" Do you have any seafood allergies, or anything else?"
" Nothing.."
“ Alright, hope it matches your taste”
True 5-star Retaurant, not long ago Serkan ordered food and drinks, and, came 2 men who entered our eating area and walked to the middle of the area and then stood under a tree decorated with lights and flowers. With a violin and saxophone they play a very beautiful tone.. Seen the other invited guests also enjoyed the strains of the song he brought.. Not realizing I was washed away with the current atmosphere making my body move to the right and left even I closed my eyes enjoying the song performed.. It dawned on me to open my eyes and stop my movements.. It turned out that Serkan was looking at me, so I felt ashamed that I lowered my head.. Serkan who laughs to see me really makes me very embarrassed.
“ If you like it, why stop?”
“ What? No. gabe.. I'm just kind of getting swept away by the current music.”.
“ Isn't that the same?”
“ Hey mr. glasses.. Looks like you're very good at treating women.. You must have been here too, right? Be honest.”.
“ Ya”
Serkan's expression immediately looks different at this time, I can immediately guess who he came here with. Honestly, why am I feeling a little upset? If I had known you were here, I would have refused to come here.. But wait, why should I be upset? Isn't this just because I want to repay her kindness to me? He and I have no relationship at all.. Feeling no right to ask questions, just being silent and listening to the sound of music that can calm me down. As I muttered inwardly, food and drink came in turns.. I saw all the food coming, somehow so it made me feel good to eat it.. All presented very beautifully, it turns out the food can be formed very beautifully like this.. Then come back food and food alternately until the table looks full.. If anyone saw my current expression seem to have no clear form, my mind seemed to have drifted out somewhere.. I also looked at Serkan who seemed to be holding back his laughter..
“ Honestly.. Are you trying to rob me tonight? Want to make my savings empty?”
“ You said I ordered both of our meals. Wrong?”
“ But…!! Are you a rubber belly? Core food you order 2 kinds.. And this soup too.. Even drinks you also order 2 kinds. And I heard you also ordered dessert?”
“ Yes.. Tryin.. I hope you like it”
“ You really made the contents of my wallet like a profit den.”
“ Stop your nagging and try.”
When serkan offered the meat steak that had been cut perfectly, honestly I felt like crying when I saw all these foods considering my ration for the next month was used in just one day.. With a little regret I feed this food into my mouth, but strangely instantly I seem to forget my burden a month ahead because of the deliciousness of this food.. I did not taste 2 dishes I ate greedily, even soup I spent.. I looked at Serkan, he seemed to deliberately turn his gaze so that I would feel comfortable while eating this food and drink.. Before long came the dessert in the form of chocolate Cheese Cake and Waffle decorated with fruit on it.. I also immediately returned it.. When all of my food was gone, I only realized the amount of food and drink I was spending right now with my eyes wide open.. With a face full of shame, I heard Serkan laugh again
“ I don't know who said that I, is a Rubber Stomach??”
“ Why can I eat this much??”
" In front of me you don't have to feel shy. I'm glad you like this cuisine"
" Believe me, I can completely forget the burden of my life for the next month"
“ Ahahaha, Then do you want to try my dessert? It's not so sweet.. Try”
“ No, No, thank you"
" I'm sure you'll like it too, try it"
" but.. Isn't that spoon you're wearing? Just move it to the ku” spoon
“ Almira, my hands are starting to feel sore”
Hearing him say that I also feed the cake in hand this time and he smiled.. He continued to eat his dessert, while I finished my drink.. When we were enjoying the atmosphere tonight, suddenly the song played changed into a romantic tone.. I saw many couples who arrived to stand up and dance together.. Somehow I felt ashamed, I tried to turn my gaze towards my left side, but what I saw was just the opposite of what I imagined.. Leave it to be standing next to the table with your hands pointing at me..
“ Serkan?? What are you.... Don't say..”
“ Will you dance with me?”
“ ME?? Nope, Nope. You should know I can't dance. You can be embarrassed if I fall later.”
“ I'll hug you so you don't fall”
“ What?”
" Will I dance with Miss Almira?"
" Serkan..."
" Just get my hand, the rest leave it to me."
Looking back on it like this I had no other choice.. I held her hand and she pulled me a little, which made me lean on her.. He wrapped his hands around my waist tightly, as if he had really convinced me that I would not fall.. The other hand was so tightly grasping me, then he began to move his legs and I tried to follow his movements.. Before long I got used to his movements, I raised my head a little up to see his face, a smile on his current face.. Our eyes met and for some reason when I saw his eyes and he saw me, our expressions turned very serious.. Then it could be felt by me that his hand that was coiling on my waist became even tighter and tighter making me become very close to him.. Her face became closer to mine, bowing her face slightly as a warm, gentle kiss on my neck. Suddenly a feeling of surprise approached, but arrived...
“Serkan? Are you here too?"
Said a woman behind me in Turkish
Serkan looked at the woman who called his name and immediately stopped motionless, I saw he also looked surprised to see the figure of the woman behind me.. Curious enough I turned my body to look at the woman who called him earlier.. Instantly my body fell silent when I saw her and somehow I walked backwards as the woman walked step by step towards Serkan..
“Berguzar”
“ What are you doing?”
“ Te, of course pay the bills.. Aren't we done eating? You still feeling hungry?”
“ Almira..”
“ I quite understand Serkan. So go to him and talk.”.
“ You..where from.”.
“ Honest.. I'm sorry, I saw the contents of your notebook.. So yeah, I know who that woman is”
“ I'll drop you”
“ No need.. Wait, what are you doing? Why are you paying this bill? Hey, serkan..? SERKAN!!”
“Be quiet.”
“ Stop acting like this, I know you're dying to talk to him.. Emres. If you're worried, I'll call Emre to drive me home”
“ You!! Almira, why are you...”.
“ Hello Emre? Did you get a message from me?... Yes, I'm sorry but can you pick me up and drive me home? Serkan, Coincidentally met his business partner and I don't want to bother him”
“ Stop. Close this call.”
" Return my phone"
" Why did you arrive.."
“ I'll wait for Emre here, you go inside”
“ ALMIRA!!”
" If I said you didn't have to meet him, would you do me? Isn't it strange, as if I don't know where my position is and also what my authority is to say that"
" Almira, I'll take you home. Please don't..."
I immediately turned my body around trying to avoid arguing with him.. When I looked in the hallway, it turned out that Berguzar followed us and saw a drama show performed by me and Serkan. Seemed confused he stood still and as if waiting for Serkan to approach him.. But Serkan was still looking annoyed and stood beside me looking at me.. I tried to keep my distance by slightly moving away from him, Serkan who realized my current actions looked even more annoyed to me.. Honestly, I don't know why I behave like this? Berguzar then walked our collars and asked from afar, what is going on? What's the matter? Who is this woman? What's your relationship with him? I could only turn my face away from seeing him, without saying Serkan directly approached and talked to Berguzar. The trembling hand was clenched in restraint by pulling the dress I was wearing. Walking away from them and standing alone waiting for Emre's arrival outside the restaurant door, grateful that it didn't take long for Emre to come..
“ Almira?? Wow... You look very different.”
Said Emre who got out of the car and tried to open the side door of the car for Almira
“ Thank you.”
“ But why are you standing alone here? Where's sister? Good thing I'm outside, so I can come straight here.. Who's the business partner we talked about?”
“ It... Actually was.. Dia...”
“ Almira, clear talk.. Who is........”.
Suddenly Emre was silent and his expression immediately changed because he saw someone behind the almira
“ Emre's.. Calm down.”
“ Why can that WOMAN be here?”
Emre who looked at Almira with anger
“ Emre, Consider the current state of Serkan. Hold your emotions.”.
Almira who was holding Emre's arm tried to calm him down
“ Consider? After what did that woman do?? ALMIRA, WHERE ARE YOUR THOUGHTS??”
“ We go from here.. Come Emre.. Come"
It was Almira who pushed Emre into the car
“ KAK SERKAN.!!!”Emre spoke in Turkish
“ Emre..!! STOPIT!! Please listen to me, we're out of here now.. We'll talk after this”
Almira pushes Emre into the car
When Emre called Serkan, he turned his head and walked straight towards us.. But I swiftly told Emre to return to the steering wheel and we passed away. Seen from the rearview mirror of the car, Serkan tried to chase us but too late. I was just silent during the trip to the apartment, because right now emre looks so upset.. As soon as I arrived, I invited emre to come and talk in the apartment.. As soon as he arrived, Lilian and kirey were surprised to see me coming along with Emre. Lilian came up to me and asked, but I went into the room to change my clothes and clean my makeup.. It sounded like Emre was trying to explain to Lilian and kirey at the moment.. When I finished I went out and talked to them..
" ALMIRA, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?? YOU LEFT ABI WITH THAT WOMAN!!"
“ Emre's.. Be calm. I'm sure even Almira is uncomfortable right now.."
Lilian tried to mediate by touching Emre's hand
" Again.. Emre, I can only thank you for delivering me.."
“ Brother Serkan mistreated you like this!! On his behalf, I apologize.”
“ Tonight I was wrong. Don't blame him.. I'm the one who avoided it”
Said Almira who was sitting in the dining chair trying to take off her HighHeels shoes
“ Why is Berguzar back?”
"I know you're very upset, but if you suppress his emotions, I'm afraid the events in front of Mr. Onur's room repeat themselves in front of a lot of people.. And it will only worsen his condition.”
“ What is that woman doing there!! After all this time he's gone?!”
Emre was annoyed but tried to hold back his emotions
“ Emre believe me, even Serkan himself was very surprised when he saw it.. Emre, the day after tomorrow was my first interview session with Serkan in person.. We'll see how it goes, but for now.. You calm down.”
"HOW CAN YOU CALM DOWN WITH EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED?!"
Emre regained his emotions by hitting the dining table
"Emres.. Calm down, listen to what Almira says.. Not good for psychic conditions Serkan, right? We have to be patient in this. Don't push it too far.."
Said Lilian who took Emre's clenched hand back trying to calm him down
" OARRRGHHH!!!! This woman is driving me CRAZY!! I FEEL REALLY UPSET".
" So easy, easy..."
Seen Emre trying to hold his emotions at this time, suddenly his phone reads it turns out Serkan who made the call.. Emre was upset with him, but Lilian convinced him to do as I told her to do. Finally Emre lowered his tone and told me that he had delivered me back to the apartment safely and then closed the call. After that Emre was ready to go home and Lilian delivered him. When I returned to my room, I sat pensively and stood around the room as if I didn't know what I was doing.. Kirey, who saw me, came to my room..
“ Lilian is still downstairs, apparently still talking to Emre.”
“ Yes..”
“ Are you okay?”
“ What? Sure oes.. Or the.. Not at all.. Kirey, I feel confused.”
“ Mira.. Do you know how you really feel about Serkan?”
“ Why are you asking like that?”
“ Talk and see how you are right now.”
“ I'm fine”
“ Alright.. You're a good man, Mir, remember that.. Okay well? ”
Kirey left my room with a smile on her face.. I completely understand what he's saying right now, but I'm too afraid to reflect.
