Shattering heart

Episode 7

Kerem Eren was talking with Hazana Demit. They were inside Hazana's house. They were talking inside the lounge room. Hazana said out with impatient tone, “ Kerem. Don’t you love me? Why you are behaving like that? Why you are pushing me away from your life?” Kerem said out, “ Hazana. Salik loves you. He is my brother. How could I be with you?” Hazana said out, “ You love your brother. That’s why you are saying this. But what about me Kerem? I love you Kerem. I cannot be with Salik. I want to break up with him.” Kerem said with anger tone, “ Hazana, try to understand the situation. You cannot break his heart.”

Burcu was sitting on her bed. Mary was sitting with her. Burcu said with sobbing tone, “ Ozan totally changed Mary. He wants to take revenge. How could he do all this?” Mary kept her hand on Burcu’s hand. She said out, “ You broke his heart in the past. That’s why he is doing all this.” Burcu said, “ I didn’t want to break up with him. I wanted to marry him. I also loved him. I loved him so much Mary. But I couldn’t marry him. You know that Mary.” Mary said out, “ I know. Did you find a new place? [Burcu shook her head in negative.] Look Burcu, you, Aslan and aunty can stay at my home. When you will find a new house you may leave from my home.” Burcu said out, “ It’s okay Mary. I will find a new house soon.” Mary said, “ Then I will also help you to find a new house. I cannot see you in this situation. That Ozan is really something! He shouldn’t do all this.” Burcu said out, “ Everything is happening because of me. Mom is in this situation because of me. Mom sold our home because of me. She sent me London for study. I am feeling so guilty because of all this.” Mary said out, “ Burcu, it wasn’t your fault. Don’t blame yourself. Be strong. Everything will be fine.”

Burcu was walking on the road. She was going to the market to buy some necessary things for their new home. Two days ago they moved to a new house. Today was her day off. It was morning time. Suddenly she noticed a crowd of few people. Someone was lying on the road. Burcu was hearing that people were saying a women fainted. Burcu went towards that crowd. She noticed that a old lady was lying on the road. Burcu instantly went towards that lady to help her. When she went near her she saw her face. That lady was looking familiar to her. Burcu bend down. She said out, “ Someone please give me water.” One women gave a water bottle towards Burcu. Burcu took that bottle. Burcu splashed some water on the face of that old lady. Burcu looked at that lady's face. Suddenly she recalled her. It was Hamit Eren’s mother! Oh god! Burcu patted on her cheek. She said out, “ Ms. What happened to you? Wake up! Ms!” Hamit Eren’s mother slowly opened her eyes. She looked towards Burcu. Burcu said out, “ Thanks to God. Ms. Can you get up? Or you need help?” Lita Eren remained silent. Burcu helped her to get up. Burcu was holding her so that she wouldn’t fall. Burcu said out, “ Ms. What are you doing? Were you alone? What happened to you?” Lita Eren looked at Burcu. She said out, “ Who are you? You are looking known to me.” Burcu said out, “ I am Burcu. Burcu Yilmaz. I went to your home. Hamit sir invited me on his birthday. He introduced me to you. I saved Hamit sir from that vase accident.” Lita Eren said with questioning look, “ Burcu? You saved Hamit? [Burcu nodded her head.] I want to go home Burcu. I am feeling sick.” Burcu said out, “ Did you come here alone?” Lita Eren nodded her head. She said out, “ Can you take me to my home Burcu?”

Burcu and Lita Eren entered into Eren house. Burcu was holding her. One maid opened the door for them. That maid said out, “ Lita ma'am, are you okay? What happened to you?” Lita Eren said out, “ I just fainted on a road. Help me to take my bedroom.” That maid nodded her head. She hold Lita Eren. Burcu released her from her holding. Lita Eren looked towards Burcu and said out, “ Burcu, come with me.” Burcu nodded her head.

Lita Eren was lying on her bed. Burcu and that maid were standing near the bed. Lita Eren looked towards Burcu and said out, “ Thank you so much Burcu for bring me here. Thank you for your help.” Burcu said out, “ It’s okay, you shouldn’t thank me. You are embarrassing me Ms.” Lita said out, “ Hamit was right. You are a good person.” Burcu said out, “ Ms. I have to go now. My mom must be waiting for me at home. She doesn’t know that I am here. I went out to buy something from the market.” Lita said out, “ I am sorry. Because of me you became late.” Burcu said out, “ It’s okay. I was there that’s why I helped you. Thanks to God I saw you there.” Lita said to the maid, “ Go and tell Mona to come here.” That maid nodded her and left from there. Lita said to Burcu, “ Can you wait here for 5 minutes? My daughter Mona will come here. Then you may go. I don’t want to stay here alone.” Burcu said out, “ It’s okay, I can wait here for a while.” Lita said out, “ Why you are standing there? You may sit on that couch.” Burcu said out, “ It’s okay. I am fine here.” After a while Mona entered into the room with that maid. Mona was looking panicked. She instantly went towards the bed and sat beside her mother. She said with panicked tone, “ Mom, you fainted on a road! How are you feeling now? Should I call the doctor?” Lita Eren said out, “ I am feeling okay now. You don’t have to call the doctor.” Mona Eren said out, “ Where you went mom at this morning?” Lita said out, “ I went to take a morning walk. I went to the area where I lived with my parents. I was missing them. I was missing my old times. That’s why I go that place.” Burcu said out. “ Ms. I should go now.” Lita and Mona looked towards Burcu. Lita said out, “ Thank you Burcu. You may go now. Next time come here to see me. We will talk together for a long time.” Burcu nodded her head. Then she left from the room. Mona said out, “ Mom, who is she?” Lita said out, “ She is Burcu. Burcu Yilmaz, who saved your brother Hamit from that vase accident. Today She helped me to bring the home. She was there where I fainted. She is really a good girl.”

Burcu came out from Lita Eren's bedroom. She started walking. That mansion was big. Burcu looked around. She became amazed because of their house’s design. They invested lot of money to build that house.

Kerem came out from the washroom. He became shocked. Because Hazana was standing in his bedroom. Kerem said out, “ Hazana! What are you doing here?” Hazana said out, “ I came to see Salik. He isn’t here. I asked a maid about Salik. She told to me that he didn’t come at home last night. Maybe he is in his flat. I called at his number. But his number was switched off.” Kerem said out, “ So, you came to my bedroom. Oh god! If anyone see you here then what they would think.” Hazana said out, “ They can think whatever they want. [Hazana went near Kerem Eren. She said out] Actually I came here to see you. I love you Kerem. I love you so much.” Burcu was walking slowly to reach towards the stairs. Suddenly she heard someone’s talking. She looked around. She was near a bedroom's door. That door was opened a little. Burcu looked inside. Hazana and Kerem were talking. Kerem said out, “ Hazana, this is not right.” Hazana said out, “ What is not right Kerem? I love you Kerem. You love me.” Kerem said out, “ You should be with Salik. Hazana, you should leave from my bedroom now. No one should see you here. Otherwise they will gossip about you and me.” Burcu instantly stayed away from the door. That wasn’t right! She shouldn’t hear their conversation. She started walking towards the stairs. She was thinking about Kerem and Hazana. What was she doing in Kerem's bedroom? So, they loved each other!

Burcu was making pizza. Aslan wanted to eat pizza. That’s why Burcu was making a pizza for him. Suddenly she started thinking about today’s incident. Hazana was Salik Eren’s girlfriend. Kerem Eren had an affair with his brother's girlfriend! This was ridiculous! Oh god! People were so complicated! Why she was thinking about them? It was their personal matter. Suddenly at that moment Aslan came towards Burcu. He hugged her from behind. Burcu said out, “ Aslan, what are you doing?” Aslan said out with smile, “ You are the best aunty. That pizza is looking so delicious. You are making that for me.” Burcu said with smile, “ I can do anything for you. Because my Aslan is a good boy. He listens to me. He listens to his granny. He is a good kid.”

Burcu, Lisa, Atlas, Kerem Eren and Ozan were discussing about their work inside Kerem's cabin. Kerem's secretary entered into the cabin with coffee. She kept the coffee's tray on a small table. Everyone was sitting on Kerem's cabin. Burcu was sitting beside Ozan. Kerem's secretary started serving the coffee one by one. Firstly she gave a coffee's cup towards Kerem. Then she gave a coffee's cup towards Ozan. Ozan was about to take the cup from her hand. Kerem's secretary wasn’t careful. That cup was about to fell from the cup's plate. But before that Burcu tried to hold that cup. All the hot coffee fell on Burcu’s hands. Everyone became shocked. Ozan said out, “ Burcu!” Kerem Eren said to the secretary, “ What you did? Cannot you serve the coffee properly? Now go and bring some medicine to put on her hands.” Ozan was about to hold Burcu's hands. But before that Burcu said out, “ I am fine. I am going to the washroom. I should keep my hand in cold water.” After saying that Burcu stood up from her chair and left from there. After a while, Burcu came to Kerem Eren's cabin. Atlas said out with concern tone, “ Burcu. Are you okay? Your hands?” Burcu said out, “ I am fine. Ms. Alita [Kerem Eren's secretary] gave me a medicine. I put that on my hands.” Ozan was looking at her.

Burcu came out from the office. It was 6:00 p.m. She was walking towards the bus stop. Suddenly someone called out her name from behind. Burcu could recognise that voice. It was Ozan’s voice. Burcu looked behind. Ozan went towards her. He stood in front of her. Burcu gave him a questioning look. Ozan looked at her hands. Ozan said out, “ Burcu. Your hands?” Burcu instantly said, “ I am absolutely fine Mr. Ozan. Did you come here to ask me that?” Ozan said out, “ Why you hold that cup yesterday? You could burn your hands Burcu. Didn’t you afraid of that?” Burcu said with irritating tone, “ I wanted to hold that cup. That’s why I hold. Stop asking me all this questions.” Ozan said out, “ You tried to save me from that hot coffee. Am I right?” Burcu instantly said, “ Ozan, you can think whatever you want to think. I am getting late.” After saying that Burcu was about to leave from there. But Ozan hold her hand and pulled her towards him. Burcu looked at him with shocking expression. Ozan said out, “ Burcu, are you trying to stay away from me?” Burcu tried to remove her hand from his hold. But she couldn’t. Burcu said out, “ What are you doing Ozan? Leave my hand!” Ozan said, “ Yesterday, I couldn’t sleep because of your thoughts. I was thinking about our old times.” Burcu was looking at him. Ozan said out, “ We were so happy at that time. Why you broke our relationship? Only because of money! Now see I am a rich businessman.” Burcu said, “ Why you always like to bring our past? Forget everything Ozan.” Ozan said out, “ I couldn’t forget. I don’t know why I couldn’t forget.” Burcu was looking at him. She also couldn’t forget their past. She still couldn’t forget Ozan. Ozan was her first love. Ozan left her hand.

Burcu was talking with Lisa and Atlas. They were inside Salik's flat. Salik threw a party for Hazana's success. Few days ago, Hazana's pictures shared in the social platform. She got so much attention from the people. Everyone was praising about her. Salik invited those people who were connected with that advertising work. Salik invited Atlas's team. Ozan, Kerem were also present there. Kerem was talking with Ozan. Hazana's sister Esin Demet was also there. Hazana was talking with her sister and Salik. After few moments, Salik went towards Burcu. Burcu, Lisa and Atlas looked towards him. Salik said out, “ Burcu, did you like the arrangements of this party?” Burcu nodded her head. Atlas said with smile, “ Salik sir, you arranged this party. Obviously it would be great.” Salik said with smile, “ Thank you Atlas. [Salik looked at Burcu and said out] Burcu, my granny was praising about you. She told me to tell you that she wanted to see you. You should go to our home to see her.” Burcu said with hesitation tone, “ Actually I am little busy. Soon I will go to see her. By the way, I should leave now.” Salik said out, “ It’s only 8:30 p.m. You should stay here for more time.” Burcu instantly said, “ Sorry, I cannot. I have to leave now.” Atlas said out, “ I can give you a lift. You can come with me.” Burcu instantly said out, “ It’s okay. I will take a taxi.”

Burcu was waiting beside the road. She was looking for a taxi. At that moment Ozan came there. He stood near her. Burcu noticed him. Ozan said out, “ Are you looking for taxi? I can give you a ride. You can come with me.” Burcu said out, “ It’s okay. I can manage.” Ozan said out, “ Don’t you trust me? You can go with an unknown taxi driver. But you cannot come with me.” Burcu said with irritating tone, “ I don’t want to go with you Ozan.” Ozan hold her hand. He said out, “ Come with me.” After saying that he started pulling her towards his car. Burcu jerked his hand. She said out, “ What are you doing Ozan?” Ozan looked at her and said out, “ Come on Burcu! You can come with me. I will take you to your home.” Burcu said out, “ I told you I would manage myself.” Burcu didn’t want to argue with Ozan. She didn’t want to talk with him. She was about to cross the road to get a taxi from other side. A car was coming towards her, she didn’t notice that. But Ozan noticed that. He instantly went towards her and pulled her towards him. Burcu became shock. She literary fell on him. Burcu noticed that car. That car just passed beside them. Ozan said out, “ What are you doing Burcu?” Burcu said out like an i***t, “ I was just passing the road.” Ozan said with hard tone, “ Cannot you passing the road carefully? Thanks to God. I saw that car.” Burcu’s heart started beating fast because of Ozan’s closeness. She was looking at Ozan. Ozan was also looking at her. She was looking so beautiful. Then suddenly Burcu pushed Ozan. Ozan taken back because of that. Burcu needed to control herself that’s why she pushed Ozan. She still couldn’t forget him. His closeness could make her weak towards him. She needed to control her feelings. Burcu said out, “ Thanks, Ozan.” Ozan instantly said, “ Come with me. You don’t have to take a taxi. You can trust me Burcu.” Burcu said, “ I don’t want to go with you.” Ozan hold Burcu’s hand. He said out, “ You have to come with me.” After saying that Ozan started pulling her towards his car. Burcu couldn’t utter a word. Ozan opened the car's door and told her to get inside. Burcu got inside the car. Ozan closed the door. Then he went to the opposite side and opened the car's door. He got inside the car. He sat on the driving seat. Then he closed the door. He looked towards Burcu. He said out, “ Fasten the seat belt.” Burcu tried to fasten the seat belt, but she couldn’t. Ozan went towards her to help her. He was so close to Burcu. He fastened the seat belt. Burcu was looking at him. Ozan looked at her face. Burcu gulped down. She was feeling nervous because of his closeness. Burcu said out, “ Can you please move Ozan?” Ozan instantly moved away from her. Ozan's heart was beating fast. Oh god! He should hate her! Why his heart was beating fast because of her closeness? He needed to control himself. He should hate her. Ozan started driving the car. Both of them were silent. Suddenly Ozan said out, “ I heard that Sera died few years ago. Your nephew is living with you and your mom.” Burcu said out, “ So, you gathered information about me. [Ozan remained silent.] You bought that baking shop and that house to throw us out.” Ozan said out, “ I can do many things Burcu. I can tell Mr. Kerem to fire you from your job.” Burcu said out, “ But you couldn’t do that. Am I right Ozan? Why Kerem sir would fire me from my job? He didn’t hire me. His father hired me. You cannot tell Kerem sir to fire me from my job.” Ozan said with smile, “ I can do that Burcu. I can fire you from your job. It’s not difficult for me. After all Kerem Eren is working with me. We are partners.” Burcu said with irritating tone, “ Do whatever you want to do. But trust me one day you will regret.” Ozan said out, “ I think you are regretting now. You broke up with me. You broke our engagement. You did that because I hadn’t enough money. But now I am a rich businessman. You are regretting now. If you married to me that time, now you would be my wife. A rich businessman's wife. We would become parents by now. I planned so many things for our future. But you destroyed everything. You left me Burcu. Aren't you regretting now?” Burcu remained silent. There was little tears in her eyes. Burcu looked outside through the window. She didn’t regret her decision. She took the right decision. She chose the right path. It was good for Ozan and her. Burcu wiped her tears. Ozan didn’t notice that.
