“Master I have completed the task you gave me, this is the file.”
Derya opened the brown envelope, and there was a photo of Shazia there.
“From all the information I got, the full name of the lady was Shazia Altair, had no family or relatives other than her own biological father, her father was named Erhan Altair, they used to live in the city of A, she said, then his father moved all his business to the capital along with their move here.”
“After more than a year of staying here Miss Shazia started opening her restaurant until now. For his education you can see in the paper I gave.”
“Thank you for the explanation you gave.” Reply Derya while watching the photo of Shazia's father.
“Is he really Shazia's father?” derya asked while pointing at the photo.
His personal servant nodded, making a smile appear on his face.
“It seems they were really doomed.”
“Please find a file in the warehouse about anyone who has ever owed me money, and find out if Shazia's father's name is on the list.”
“Good I will take it soon.”
It didn't take long, the waiter came back with a red map, he gave it to Derya.
“I've been looking for it, and right, there's Erhan Altair's name there.”
Derya opens the file, she recalls what happened more than 20 years ago, although not much is now remembered but the memory of Erhan is still really fresh in her memory.
...Flashback...
“I promise sir, I will pay everything gradually.”
“Yes, I believe. Because you never reneged on your promise.”
“Thank you, you want to lend me.”
Derya smiled, “I should thank you for saving me from a speeding truck, if you don't help me maybe I've stayed the name now.”
Erhan downcast shy, “That's not how much of what you do for me.”
“Yes, you so consider the money as my gratitude Erhan.”
“No sir, any way later I will definitely return it, I will build a business.”
“Oh, yes, then what guarantee can you give me?” derya asked in a joking tone.
Erhan who knows Derya joking also said “If later the effort I do fell into a crossbar then I will give my daughter as a daughter-in-law,” Erhan replied with laughter.
“That you are so different, people give money guarantees if their efforts succeed but you give your daughter if your efforts fail.”
Derya writes the guarantee in the file in addition, then has Erhan sign it
“Alright now sign below here.”
...Flashback finished...
Yes, Erhan used to borrow money to build a business, even though Erhan's guarantee will be his daughter, he managed to return the loan to the Savas family, since then Derya never heard from Erhan again.
But even so, Derya never forgot the figure of a determined man in her.
“And now, even if you have paid all your debts, you must keep your promise Erhan.”
Derya smiled happily, “Color seems like they are doomed.”
Derya rearranges the file and tells the waiter to save it. Defne came to her husband shortly.
“Derya our photo with Zihan has come, do you want to see it?”
“This fast? Didn't the photo just sent last night.”
“Zihan who requested that it be printed as soon as possible, let's old man do not laze like that, let's see his photo.”
“Alright,” with lazy Derya standing from her place.
The two also went together to the living room, can be seen Zihan has come first and immediately open the package of photos.
Afterwards a very bright smile emerged from the child's face, making the curious grandfather and grandmother approach towards him.
Yes, it was a portrait of Zihan with Derya and Defne yesterday, the granddaughter gave a surprise to Derya who had a birthday and then took a picture even without Taran there.
“Grandma's grandfather look at our photos very beautiful.”
Zihan nodded as he opened the second package.
“The second one is whose photo?” ask Derya.
“Kakek see only later.”
The open package features portraits of Shazia, Taran and Zihan at the awards ceremony, how much more a smile Zihan grew when he saw it.
“I didn't expect it to be this good after printing!”
Defne and Derya looked at each other when they saw the large-printed portrait of the three. Moreover, seeing the expression of the grandson made the couple unable to say anything.
“Uncle, uncle!”
“Ya, Young master, what's up?”
“Pama please hang my picture with mom and dad in my room, and hang my picture with grandpa and grandma in the living room, yes.” His orders to the servant.
Of course the words of Zihan made the old men surprised including the servant who was asked.
“Wah this photo .. uncle will soon hang it for young master.”
“Thank you uncle,” reply Zihan.
When the waiter had left with the large framed photo, Defne began to ask the granddaughter.
“Zihan, grandson. Is the woman you took the picture with and your father, the Shazia you told us all along?”
“Yes, Grandma. She's Mama Shazia.”
“Mama? You call her mama?”
Zihan nodded, he did not speak further and instead went to follow the waiter who was about to put up the photo.
“Defne what do you think, that woman is suitable for our family?”
Defne sighed staring at the departure of his grandson. “She can easily take the heart of Zihan that even we ourselves have difficulty getting.”
“If that woman can take Zihan's heart in a short time, then so can we Derya, I never met him, but Zihan always talks about his kindness.”
“While I have never met him, I would love him to be the daughter-in-law of our home, Derya.” Reply Defne while looking at Derya with a smile.
“Yes, I agree. You'll see in the near future, she'll definitely be a daughter-in-law in our house.”
While on the other hand, the girl being talked about was resting after being tired of serving the customers, she sat on the balcony while sipping her tea, she said, aynur soon followed and sat down on one of the chairs.
The woman looked at Shazia expectantly, as if waiting for Shazia to tell her story.
“What are you waiting for?” ask Shazia.
“Of course an interesting story from you.”
“What?”
“About the name of mom and the photo that Zihan showed me yesterday from his mobile phone.”
“Nothing to explain,” reply Shazia.
“Shazia, come on!” pinta Aynur with a face.
Shazia sighed, “Yes, alright chatty girl, I will tell you from the beginning.”
Shazia recounts what happened from the beginning to the end of the award show, making Aynur who heard him laugh and start teasing Shazia.
“Look at Shazia how much Zihan really loves you like his own mother.”
“Yes, Aynur I still feel like a dream she called me mama.”
“Yes, Shazia, since the beginning of his arrival, he has been so close to you.”
“But Aynur, even though I was so happy, I was really afraid of losing her.”
“If one day Mr Taran gets married, will he still call me mama? Would they still allow her to be close to me, who is just a woman owner of this little restaurant.”
“Shazia. Don't get discouraged like I'm sure Zihan won't forget you easily, you know what his stubbornness is.”
