Shattering heart

Episode 11

Burcu and Ozan were sitting inside a park. They were sitting under a big tree. It was morning time. Burcu said out, “ Ozan, how much you love me?” Ozan said with smile, “ I don’t know. Why you are asking that?” Burcu said with irritating look, “ Could you just answer my question? How much you love? Would you ever leave me Ozan?” Ozan hold Burcu’s palm and intertwined her palm with his palm. Ozan said out, “ I love you so much. I cannot leave you.” Burcu said in her mind, “ Ozan, after knowing the truth about my past would you hold my hand like that? Would you accept Aslan? My Aslan is everything for me Ozan.” Ozan said with questioning expression, “ Is everything okay Burcu? What are you thinking? Don’t tell me you are thinking about break up again. This time I wouldn’t let you break up with me. I wouldn’t let you break my heart.” Burcu said with little smile, “ I cannot do that Ozan. [Burcu kept her head on his shoulder. She said out] Because I love you. I want to stay beside you.”

Burcu was walking on the road. She was going towards her home. Suddenly she felt that someone was following her from behind. She stopped in her track and looked back. Few people were walking behind her. Nothing was unusual. Again she started walking.

Burcu and Melisa were sitting inside the lounge room. They were drinking tea. Melisa said out, “ Burcu, I was thinking about to open a bakery shop in this area.” Burcu said out, “ Mom, we need money for that. You know that very well I haven’t that much money to help you.” Melisa said out, “ I cannot sit at home. I have to do something. I would take loan from some of my friends. You just have to give me some money.” Burcu said out, “ Are you sure you could take loan from your friends?” Melisa said out, “ I talked with two friends of mine. They would help me.” Burcu said out, “ I have some money in my bank account. I would give you the money. But mom, I cannot see you to do hardship in this age. I am doing a job. My salary is enough for us.” Melisa said out, “ I want to do something for you and Aslan. I want to save some money for your future, so that you could use them after your marriage.” Burcu said out, “ Mom, from where you get the idea of my marriage?” Melisa said with little smile, “ One day you will get married. I am waiting for that day. I am just praying to God for you. I hope that Ozan would propose you for marriage soon.” Burcu said out, “ I don’t think so. Maybe Ozan is little confused mom. Last time I broke his heart. I could understand his feelings. I have no hurry. I can wait for him. Because I love him mom.” Melisa kept her palm on Burcu’s palm. She said out, “ I always pray to god for your happiness.” Burcu said out, “ Mom, I want to tell Ozan about the truth. I want to tell him why I broke the engagement. But at the same time I am feeling afraid to loose him. If he leaves me then what I would do. If he cannot accept my Aslan.” Melisa said out, “ You may take your time Burcu. If he loves you truly then he would accept your past. He would understand your situation.”

Burcu, Kerem Eren, Lisa and Atlas were inside a construction building. They came here to visit the site of that building. Erem company was making a shopping mall. Kerem and Atlas were talking with the engineers. Burcu and Lisa were standing near them. After completing their talk with them Kerem, Burcu, Lisa and Atlas were about to leave from there. Few stones were in front of Burcu. Burcu didn’t notice them. She was on her mind. She was walking and talking with Lisa. Suddenly Burcu stumbled because of those stones and fell on the floor. She yelled out. Everyone looked towards Burcu with shocking expression. Kerem, Atlas and Lisa instantly stopped in their track. Lisa, Kerem and Atlas stood around her. Lisa and Atlas instantly kneeled down. Lisa said out with concern tone, “ Are you okay Burcu?” Burcu said with panicked expression, “ I don’t think so.” Atlas said with out concern tone, “ Could you stand up?” Burcu tried to stand up but before that she groaning out because of pain. She felt pain in her left leg. Kerem instantly said out with concern tone, “ Burcu, are you okay?” Burcu shook her head in negative. Burcu said with painful expression, “ I think my left ankle sprained.”

Burcu and Lisa got down from Kerem's car. Kerem also got down from the car. Lisa was holding Burcu’s hand. She was helping her to walk. Kerem was following them. They stood near the door of Burcu's house. Burcu ringed the calling bell. After a moment, her mother Melisa opened the door. She looked towards Burcu, Lisa and Kerem with questioning expression.

Burcu was sitting on her bed. Aslan was lying beside her. He was sleeping. Melisa entered into the room with a glass of milk. She stood near the bed. She gave the glass towards Burcu. She said out, “ Drink the milk Burcu.” Burcu took the glass. She sipped on the glass of the milk. Melisa said out, “ Burcu, I like your boss Kerem Eren. [Burcu stopped drinking the milk. She looked towards her mother. Melisa said out] He is good looking, handsome and decent. He brought you here. You are just an employee but he was concerned about you. Maybe you saved his father and helped her granny that’s why he has gratitude towards you.” Burcu said out, “ I also think like that. I am just an employee. He could send me with Lisa. We would come here by taxi. But he didn’t do that. He brought me here.” Suddenly at that moment someone ringing the calling bell of Burcu's house. Melisa and Burcu looked towards each other. Melisa said out, “ Who could be at this night?” Burcu said out, “ How I would know?” Melisa instantly left from Burcu’s bedroom. After 5 minutes, Melisa entered into Burcu’s bedroom. Burcu looked towards her mother. She instantly said out, “ Mom, who was...........” Burcu couldn’t finish her words. Ozan entered into the bedroom behind Melisa. Burcu said out with disbelief expression, “ Ozan?” Ozan said out, “ Yea, it’s me. I came to see you. You got hurt. Obviously I have to come.” Burcu said out, “ Ozan, I told you my left ankle just sprained. It’s not serious.” Ozan said out with irritating tone, “ But it’s serious for me. When I called you and you told me about your sprained ankle I became tensed. I finished my works hurriedly and came here to see you. How could you walk so absent minded? How could you stumbled?” Burcu said with irritating expression, “ Ozan, did you really come here to me? Or scolding me?” Ozan said out, “ You stumbled in the daylight! Couldn’t I tell you anything? Aunty, don’t you think she should be careful when she walks? How she could be careless? She isn’t kid.” Melisa said with smile, “ Both of you can arguing with each other later. Now tell me Ozan, what you would like to take? You came our this house for the first time. I am seeing you after long time. What you would like to take? Tea, coffee or juice? I still remember you liked my handmade cookies. Today I baked some cookies. You could taste them.” Ozan said with smile, “ Aunty, I wouldn’t take anything. I just came here to see Burcu. I would stay here for few minutes then I would leave. It’s already getting late. Tomorrow I have to go to office at the early morning.” Melisa said with little smile, “ Okay, then I am leaving. Both of you can arguing as much as possible.” After saying that Melisa instantly left from there. Ozan looked around. Burcu said out, “ You wouldn’t like my bedroom Ozan. It’s small. I can guess, your bedroom must be large. After all you are a rich businessman now.” Ozan sat on Burcu’s bed. He sat in front of her. Ozan said out, “ Now I am a rich businessman. Are you jealous about that?” Burcu instantly said out, “ Why I would feel jealous about that? [Burcu said with little smile] I am proud of you Ozan.” Ozan looked towards sleeping Aslan. He said out, “ So, he is Aslan? [Burcu nodded her head. Ozan said with little smile] He is cute. By the way, where is Neil? Doesn’t Aslan stay with him?” Burcu said with hesitation tone, “ Neil isn’t here. I mean he isn’t living in Turkey. He is living in abroad.” Ozan said out, “ He is living in abroad? Which country?” Burcu said out, “ Germany.” Ozan said out, “ Doesn’t Aslan misses his dad?” Burcu inhaled and exhaled a deep breath. Burcu said out, “ He always misses his father. But we cannot do anything about that. Neil is busy with his life.”

Burcu was sitting inside the lounge room. She was reading a book. Her mother Melisa was working inside the kitchen. Aslan wasn’t in house. He was in his school. Burcu took 5 days leave from her office. She still felt pain in her ankle. She couldn’t walk properly. That’s why doctor told her to take rest for few days. Suddenly someone ringed the calling bell of their house. Burcu said out, “ Mom, would check the door?” Melissa said out, “ I am going to check.” Melisa instantly went towards the door. Burcu kept the book beside her. She was hearing that her mother was talking with someone. But she couldn’t hear properly. She couldn’t see that person because of her sitting position. She heard the sound of door's locked. She said out, “ Mom, who was that?” At that moment, Lita Eren and Kerem Eren came there. Melisa also came there behind them. Burcu said with shocking expression, “ Lita ma'am! Kerem sir!” Burcu was about to get up from her couch. But before that Lita Eren said out, “ Don’t get up Burcu. Otherwise your ankle's pain could be worst.” Burcu didn’t stand up. She sat back on her couch. Melisa instantly said to Kerem and Lita Eren, “ Please, sit. I know our home is tiny for you.” Lita Eren looked around and said with smile, “ I don’t have any issue to sit here. Your home is neat and clean. I like that.” Lita Eren instantly sat on you couch. Kerem was holding a fruit’s basket. He instantly gave the basket towards Melisa. Melisa looked at him with questioning expression. Kerem said out, “ Here is some fruits for Burcu.” Melisa said with hesitation tone, “ Why you brought all this? You came here to see her that was enough for us.” Lita Eren instantly said with little smile, “ I brought those fruits for Burcu. [Melisa took the basket from Kerem’s hand. Lita said with serious tone] Yesterday, Hamit told me about Burcu's accident. Hamit also wanted to come here. But he is busy. That’s why I told Kerem to bring me here today.” Burcu said out, “ Lita ma'am, why did you come here with difficulty? I could go to your home after few days if you called me. I know Kerem sir is also a busy person. I am getting well. After few days I could walk properly.” Lita Eren said out, “ What are you saying Burcu? I should come yesterday. But I couldn’t. Your ankle sprained two days ago. But I came here today. Yesterday, Hamit didn’t see you in an important business meeting. Then he asked Kerem about you. Kerem told him about your accident. When Hamit came back in the home he told me about your accident. So, I came here today to see you.” Kerem sat beside Lita Eren. Melisa looked towards Kerem and Lita. She said out with smile, “ I am going to the kitchen.” Lita Eren instantly said out, “ I need to go washroom. Would you tell me where is the washroom?” Melisa said out with little smile, “ Come with me.” Lita Eren instantly stood up from the couch. Melisa and Lita left from there. Kerem looked at Burcu and said out, “ What is the condition of your ankle? Could you join at the office after few days?” Burcu said out, “ I am getting well. I hope I could join the office after few days.” Kerem said out, “ That’s good. Where is Aslan?” Burcu instantly said out, “ He isn’t at home. He is in the school.” At that moment Burcu’s mobile phone ringing out. Her mobile wasn’t near her. The phone was on a small table and that table was in front of Kerem. Burcu was about to stand up from her couch to take the phone. But before that Kerem instantly said out, “ Burcu, you don’t need to get up. Just wait a second.” After saying that Kerem instantly stood up from the couch and took the phone from the table. Then he started walking towards Burcu. Two marbles were on the floor. Kerem didn’t notice them. He stepped on those two marbles and his leg slipped because of that. He was near Burcu. He literary fell on her. His lips instantly touched Burcu’s lips. Burcu's phone already fell on the floor. Both of their eyes opened wide. They became so shocked. Kerem’s lips was on Burcu’s lips. Kerem hurriedly stood up properly. Burcu's heart started beating fast. Kerem's heart also started beating fast. They couldn’t understand what just happened. Were they dreaming? They just became dumbfounded. Burcu’s mobile phone's ringing stopped. Kerem said out like an i***t, “ I am sorry! I don’t know how I fell! I just stepped on something. I am sorry Burcu. Are you okay? [Burcu nodded her head. Kerem looked around for the phone. He found the phone on the floor near Burcu’s couch. He instantly took the phone from the floor. Burcu sat on the couch properly. She gulped down because of nervousness. She couldn’t imagine what just happened. Kerem noticed those marbles on the floor. He took those marbles from the floor and said out] I slipped because of these marbles.” Burcu looked towards his palm. There was 2 marbles. Burcu said out, “ Those are Aslan's marbles. Sometimes he plays marbles. [Burcu said out with irritating tone] Let him come today. How he could be careless? Even I also could fall. My ankle's situation is already bad. Let him just come today.” Kerem instantly said out, “ Don’t be harsh on him! He is just a kid. You should just talk with him nicely.” Burcu said out, “ You could get hurt because of these marbles Kerem sir.” Kerem instantly said out, “ I am absolutely okay. I just slipped and fell on..........” Kerem didn’t finish his words. He gulped down. How he could finish his words? He literary just fell on Burcu! Burcu was feeling so nervous. She was biting her lips normally.
