The cold night came again, it had been three hours since his quarrel with Aergul occurred, Shazia sat leaning on her bed while silently staring at the photo of the mother from the cellphone screen.
“Mother, sorry if Zia can't follow you.”
“Sorry, if Zia can't be a good boy and be a bad boy.”
Suddenly the door opened, displaying Taran's cold figure as usual.
Shazia hastily turned off her smartphone and stared intently at her husband's every move.
Taran who noticed Shazia's gaze looked back at him, “What's Shazia?” ask Taran while taking off his suit and tie.
“Nothing, just want to see Master only,” reply Shazia.
“You lied, mom told me if you had a fight with aunt today, were you scared because of that?”
“No, I just want to see who will be Mr. Defend, me or Aunt Aergul. If indeed master defends aunt, then I will prepare against Master as well.”
Casually Taran replied, “I will not defend anyone, because I know what Aergul's aunt is like.”
“Thank God if you don't defend him, I'm upset that he's raising a small problem.”
“Now I ask you Sir, is it wrong if I bring a lot of cake left from the restaurant?”
“There's nothing wrong with that. Aunt Aergul, she's a person accustomed to luxury,” Taran replied.
“But should not he behave like that, demeaning people with all his heart, does he think everyone will just be silent treated like that.”
“Every human has different nature, we can only understand it,” Taran reply while going to the bathroom.
Shazia snorted in annoyance, “Why he always with his cold nature, I asked him to talk but always just answered briefly.”
In the end, Shazia chose to sleep, she did not care about her husband anymore.
...****************...
In the morning, when the dawn breaks. Taran is preparing to go to the office in his suit, while Shazia has just come out of the bathroom wearing a white shirt and trousers.
The woman then sits at the dressing table while drying her hair with a hair dryer. While Taran he stood behind his wife while looking at her.
Realizing Taran noticed him Shazia asked, “What sir do you need anything for?”
“Finish your activities first,”
Shazia let out a long sigh, she turned off the hair dryer and stood facing Taran.
“If Mister looks at me constantly like that, I can't focus. Now tell me what you want?”
“Give me your arm,”
Shazia's brows shriveled when she heard Taran's request, but she kept following him.
“My arm?” Shazia also thrust out her arm.
Taran welcomes his wife's arm, the man takes the ring from his pocket and pairs it on Shazia's ring finger. This of course made Shazia's heart beat fast, so he recalled when Taran put the diamond ring on his second wedding day.
“Lain times don't remove it in just any place. I know we did marry without love, but please don't take this wedding ring off your finger.”
“Sorry, Sir. I took it off because I was afraid of falling in the shower, but I forgot to put it back on yesterday.”
As those sharp eyes stared fixedly at him, Shazia felt her heart throbbing even more, it felt like she could not bear to look back at Taran.
“And can you not call me Master? I find it strange that you constantly call me that.”
“That is very difficult, because the name Master is a very suitable thing for you, if I just call by name, it feels like you are younger than your age, Mr.”
“Then just like this, if you don't want to be called Master again then from now on I will call you Zihan's father, how?”
“As far as you are,”
“Alright I assume that Zihan's father agrees. Now I'm the one who wants to ask, why don't you call me Miss Shazia.”
Taran's hand moved to hold Shazia's chin, so the woman looked up at Taran.
“Color you've become my wife, Shazia. You are no longer a Miss but a Mistress, remember it well.”
Taran then walks away from the room, leaving Shazia still petrified in her place.
“Absolutely he toyed with other people's feelings with that attitude."
“Do not know her attitude makes a person's heart so pounding?” shazia grumbled as she held her beating heart.
...****************
...
Days passed, until exactly a month had Shazia become a wife in the Savas family, she was getting used to her new home and family. Not much has changed in Shazia and Taran's relationship. But with her son Shazia is getting closer.
Similarly, Erhan's efforts, after the Savas family helped him eliminate the sloping news, his efforts back crowded even more known to many people.
"How do you do it is going well" asked Shazia as she offered tea to her father.
"Yes, after your father-in-law helped you, things are back to how they were, hopefully there's no more trouble, so I can raise money to make your mother's wishes come true."
"I'll help you realize your wishes, later if the money collected is enough, we go to Hazan.”
Erhan nodded. "Then Shazia how was your marriage to Taran? I'm sorry, if since you've been married I've never visited you there."
"Everything's fine Dad, as expected, his father Zihan was a good person, during this marriage he never got angry or spoke rudely to me."
"Thank God, then what about Zihan? And the people there, did they treat you well?"
"For Zihan I felt that I was getting closer to him, Dad, the days we spent together really made me feel like he was really my son."
Hearing Shazia talk about Zihan, making Erhan's countenance turn mellow, his eyes seemed to hold many secrets.
"What's the matter dad, why do you look sad?"
"No, Shazia, I'm happy if your marriage is okay and Zihan can think of you as his own mother."
Shazia smiled, "Yes, that's it, Dad. And for the people there everything is also so good, it's not like I thought before that they probably won't accept my existence.”
“Good afternoon Mama, and good afternoon Grandpa Olive.” Sapa Zihan who just got home from school.
“Wah Grandpa's granddaughter turned out to be home, how was your day at school fun?” ask Erhan.
“Fun, today I get perfect grades for all lessons,” reply Zihan.
“Wah, mama's son is great. Now what's mama's son hungry?”
“No mama, I'm still full, I want to sit here alone with grandfather,” Zihan pulled a chair near Erhan.
“Yes, already then mama went to the kitchen, yes, you play with grandfather,” Shazia replied.
Zihan nodded.
“Grandpa, why didn't old grandpa come here?”
“Grandfather is busy, so only now can visit this grandfather's grandson.”
“Grandfather tell me an interesting story, it's been a long time grandfather didn't tell me.”
“What story do you want to hear?”
“When you were a little mama like what?”
“You want to know about him, Your mother is a stubborn person, she does not want to listen to anyone and always behave as she pleases.”
“He's always talkative, full of curiosity, and yes, a little naughty. My grandfather used to remember when he and his friends stole fruit from a tree belonging to a neighbor,”
Zihan laughs at Derya's story, “It turns out mama like that yes as a child.”
