Receiving roomily, was the only thing Nandita could do right now.
It was not his right to hold Aslan to stay.
Moreover, he knew the reason Aslan had left, was to free him from the agonizing taste.
Although it took a while to be able to calm down, Nandita finally agreed to the wishes of the man who was younger than her.
"We both know how we feel, and we both understand what we should feel like. Let's keep it in the deepest trough of our hearts, all the turmoil of taste that exists. Let's start here." Aslan paused his speech. For a moment the thick-browed man closed his eyes, before opening his voice again.
"Right now and then, I'm your best friend. We're friends now?" Aslan stretched out his hand before Nandita.
Although heavy, but he was able to say the sentence smoothly and calmly.
Nandita glanced at him for a moment, then looked back at the cruise ships carrying tourists splitting the Bosphorus strait. His hand was still tightly grasping the rope of his sling bag.
The roar of the ships' engines echoed to greet the ears. He stepped closer to the rocks, ignoring Aslan's hand. The scorching sun did not make him feel hot, but it was enough to make his eyes glare. Moreover, the reflection of the light, sparkling in the sea water, right in front of the eyes.
He repeatedly cursed himself. Why is it so weak? Why should he give up, let his heart waver.
Where is Nandita full of assertiveness? Where is Nandita who upholds loyalty?
Of loyalty?
Is he betraying?
"Mrs ..." Aslan approached, along with the cornea of his eye greeted the glare in front of him.
"You're right Aslan ... From the beginning we met, you were my friend. We will always be friends. The taste that is currently there for you, I'm sure it's only for a moment. Just a feeling of comfort and safety, because in the midst of my anxiety, you were with me. I'm sure it's just Gunadh I love. From the beginning to the end of my breath, he's the man I want." Nandita finally said.
Aslan smiled gently, her handsome face shining in the cool spring light.
"We're friends?"
"Hmm we're friends."
The two of them shook hands, presenting a sincere smile between the two.
Finally, the Bosphorus strait became a witness to the promise of friendship between the two. Fortify yourself so as not to get out of control interpret the taste.
That's life. We will always find trials at every crossroads.
There is no straight path for anyone.
The curves, the steep slopes, the steep hills, the intersections, all present a teaching to every human being. How our wits choose the best path to get through it all.
The maturity of a person is not only a matter of age, but also of thought.
And the two children of different cultures, showing their maturity in the way they agreed.
We can't blame taste, but we can suppress that feeling so as not to hurt one another.
That day was the last day Nandita met Aslan.
They spend time visiting some interesting places that have not had time to visit Nandita.
Seeing the various types of marine fish in Istanbul aquarium, they are greeted with many types of fish that are divided into sixteen aquariums.
Nandita was so amazed, there were many fish that Nandita had never seen at all.
They spent almost three hours in that place.
Afterwards, Aslan took the girl to one of the oldest markets in the world.
Buying a lot of souvenirs, considering that Nandita will soon return to Indonesia.
Although he had refused to cause debate, but eventually Nandita relented when Aslan seduced him to want to accept everything Aslan chose to make souvenirs later.
At about nine in the evening, they arrived at the residence onty Eby and uncle Murat.
"Mrs ... Thank you for letting me know today. See you next time."
"I should have told you that Aslan ... There are so many things you do for me. Thank you so much for everything. I don't know how to repay all your kindness."
"No reply. I'm not asking anything from you. Keep smiling and happy, it makes me happy."
An awkward atmosphere was again present between them. Although they have agreed to be ordinary, but all need to process, right?
It is impossible to act like before.
"Mrs ... Can I just hug you this once?"
Aslan ventured to express his wishes, after a while they fell silent.
Nilam who had been looking down, immediately raised his head. Quite surprised by the man's request.
"Mmm forget it. I'm sorry I didn't mean to be disrespectful." Seeing Nandita's surprised reaction, Aslan thought Nandita was angry with him.
"If so, I'll go back ... Good bye."
Aslan turned the body about to get back into the car.
Nandita closed her eyes, feeling unreserved with the separation.
"Aslan ...." Call him, then step closer to the man.
And without saying a word, he immersed his body in the man's arms.
For a moment Aslan was silent, but the next second he returned Nandita's embrace with no less tight.
