Better Together

Push and Pull

Ozgur sat at his desk printing the documents required for his meeting with the accountant. He came across an email from the wedding photographer. He zoomed in on one of the pictures. He remembered standing at the altar wondering if he pressured her emotionally into marrying him, but all his thoughts vanished the moment he turned to see her. She looked almost divine as she walked down the aisle. His heart managed to skip a beat with every step she took towards him. She was beside him all along and it took a wedding to realise Ezgi was the one. What a big fool he was!!

He checked his mobile again for any messages. She was supposed to be back home but there were no texts. He could not wait to see her especially after what they shared yesterday. Though he initiated it, he was not expecting her to kiss him the way she did and certainly not look at him like she did. He debated whether to text or not and ultimately hit the send button with a mischievous grin.

"You seem to be rather pleased with yourself. Care to share?" Ozan walked in casually.

"Couldn't you just do a customary knock before you came?" Ozgur put his mobile away and looked at him.

"As if there'll be someone with you here" Ozan teased him as he knew Ozgur's room was off limits to anyone except him. It was more like an escape sanctuary for him, not meant to be disturbed unless something could not wait.

"You never know... What is it?" Ozgur just rolled his eyes.

"Just wanted to confirm when the party was and if you're okay with the menu?" Ozan handed him the list.

"It's at 7:00 pm and the menu looks good. Ah Tiramisu, Ezgi would love that." He immediately bit his lip as he said it.

"Ah... Isn't she back today? I spoke to her briefly yesterday. Our cousin Cansu is getting married" Ozan informed him.

"Oh nice... Is it that Doctor guy?" Ozgur met Cansu and her boyfriend at his wedding.

"Yes Levant... Anne will start harassing me now." Ozan realised that now his mother will start pressuring him as the girls are off her list.

"How did it go with Deniz? Did you give her the signed forms?" Ozgur held his smile as Ozan raised an eyebrow in anger.

"She said she'll visit us with a copy of the contract today. Anyway, I don't think she's interested so I'll not meddle anymore." Ozan admitted that he backed off.

"Let's see" Ozgur looked at him suspiciously.

"Leave me... What is happening with you?" Ozan inquired suspicious of something brewing between the newlyweds. He could not miss the excitement in Ezgi's voice as he mentioned Ozgur being worried about her.

"Me?? Preparing for a meeting with the accountant..." He picked a few documents.

"Did you visit Ezgi then?" Ozan cut the chase.

"I'm late... Let's go" Ozgur checked the time and pushed Ozan out of his office.

"Don't forget to pick up Tiramisu parcel from the kitchen later tonight, ENISTE" Ozan winked at him before heading to kitchen while Ozgur went out shaking his head.

Ezgi felt wonderful to be back home. Even though it was only a few weeks, this house managed to make her feel home or it could be the company. She debated if she should text him. Her mobile buzzed with a text from him in Turkish just then.

"seni gormek icin sabirsizlaniyorum"

She read it multiple times and translated it to confirm it meant the same. Before she could respond, Deniz called her to meet at La Gabbia. She thought it would be a good surprise for him to see her so held back from texting.
