After making sure Gunadh's plane and Nandita's parents had taken off, the delivery group prepared to return to their homes.
"Onty, onty same uncle go back first is not it? I'm gonna take a walk." Nandita said stopping the movement of Uncle Murat who was about to open the car door.
The girl's face looked agitated.
"Where are you going, baby? You're okay, right?"
Nandita nodded her head. Not wanting to make his adoptive parents worry, he displayed his sweet smile.
"I'm nothing onty ... Just want to take a walk ... Yesterday I wanted to buy something, but it didn't taste the same as Gunadh. If it's the same, I'm definitely not paid."
Onty Eby chuckled while shaking her head.
"Yes, what are you going to ride? Let uncle Carikan," uncle Murat join in their conversation.
"No need to uncle, thank you. I'm alone,"
"Yes already ... Be careful, don't go home too late. You've been lacking rest for a few days now," onty Eby stroked Nandita's soft hair.
"Yes onty" said the girl, smiling, and kissing Eby's and Murat's hands alternately, before they entered the car and left themselves at the airport.
🌟🌟🌟
Using public transport, the girl enjoyed the trip to downtown Istanbul.
Spring brought fresh air, making Nandita occasionally wipe her cold arm when the Bosphorus wind hit her.
Although already wearing outer, but apparently the wind that blows can still penetrate his skin.
The girl tried to get rid of every sentence of the father, who kept ringing in his ears.
Step alone, with the mind that goes on an adventure.
Until finally he found an empty bench near a park, he chose to stop his steps and rest there. Looking around, watching the many people passing by.
The little boy who played in a special area of green grass, made a white fence that was about the size of his body as a handle, cheerfully following the direction of the adult in front of him. Keep walking in limp, while hearing the spirit given by his parents.
Nandita smiled at the sweet sight.
For a moment he forgot his anxiety, so someone sat down next to him, and held out a food box containing several pieces of baklava in front of his face.
Sontak Nandita was surprised, but Aslan's annoying face made the shock instantly perish.
"Aslan ...."
"Well, why is it here by itself?"
"You got me?"
Without answering the question of the man sitting next to her, Nandita again accused him with a suspicious look, but did not stop reaching for food made from a pastry filler with various kinds of chopped nuts, which were, enjoyed it.
"Slowly eating, I won't ask ...." The man removed the bread crumbs that were splattered on Nandita's chin, making the girl stop her movements.
An awkward atmosphere greeted them because of the incident. Nandita recalled the words of her father, that Aslan has a charm that women find difficult to resist.
And damn it is true.
While Aslan, the man was no less awkward, he brushed the fingers that had been used to clean Nandita's chin.
"I'm sorry, I saw your agitated face just now at the airport. My detective's soul was moved to follow you,"
Aslan chuckled after ending his speech. He wanted to melt that awkward atmosphere as soon as possible.
"Congratulations ...." He continued, after realizing there was no reaction from Nandita for the joke he made.
"For?" The girl furrowed her brows, not understanding the intent of Aslan's words.
"For your engagement. I haven't been able to say congratulations to you ... Your om-om was too possessive, not giving me a chance to get close to you."
Although with a chuckle, but there was a bit of bitterness that Aslan tried to hide from his jokes.
The two stared at each other, trying to dive into each other's feelings.
"Aslan ...."
"I'm so happy for everything that's happened. Can deliver you to the right person, really make me feel relieved."
Nandita looked at the younger man, with a sad look in her eyes.
Aslan smiled, looking straight ahead.
The wind blew on the two, presenting a coldness that burst through the skin.
The trees around, slightly swaying with the young leaves that had just grown held itself as firmly as possible so as not to fall in the wind.
They were silent, busy with their own thoughts.
"I still don't understand, why are you doing all this?"
Finally the question slid from Nandita's lips. Looking into the blue eyes that are now also watching him.
"Because I know, we won't be able to unite. I realize there are so many things that make us different and it's hard to step together. And one thing is for sure, Gunadh's love for you is so great, it's so hard to find someone as sincere as him. I believe he can give you happiness."
Nandita smiled bitterly. Bowing his head, trying to permeate the reason Aslan had given him. Not only accepted the reason, but also convinced his heart, what the man said was true.
"Are you happy with the decision you made for me?" Ask the girl at last.
Honestly he did not want Aslan to know what he was feeling right now, towards the man beside him.
The feeling he was trying to get away with by being tight and away from Aslan. A comfortable feeling that made him feel tormented. A slow-emerging liking without excuse. That feeling also made him want to leave the country immediately.
That's right what Darma's father said. Who could resist the charm of Aslan? A man with so many advantages he has.
Handsome, treasure-loving, funny, and certainly kind and polite.
Behind his attitude that looks as he pleases, there is sincerity and maturity that the man has.
The more Nandita tried to dodge, the tighter the flow of flavor that made her waver.
Especially when the engagement happened. As Aslan brings Gunadh to his presence, Nandita realizes that he deserves to be loved.
"Whatever makes you happy, makes me happy too."
"Ck, man,"
Nandita clucked in annoyance.
"Your race means nothing,"
"Hahahaha I'm serious, your happiness is my happiness."
Aslan stroked Nandita's long hair as she said that sentence.
The girl grabbed Aslan's hand. Refusing the touch the man gave her. He shook.
"Don't do this Aslan ... Don't make me feel guilty like this. Find your happiness, don't always think of me."
'Don't make me go deeper into this feeling, ' she continued inwardly.
"Find me a girl like you," with a seductive smile, Aslan said making Nandita roll her eyes lazily.
Aslan's attitude like this, often makes Nandita feel upset, but it also fosters a strange feeling in her heart.
Irritatedly Nandita got up from her seat, stepping out to leave the man alone.
But the embrace of someone from behind his body made him freeze on the spot.
"Sorry, but let me do this for a moment." Lirih Aslan who can not refuse Nandita.
