On our way to the prison to see Azziz, Eliyas was driving the car attentively, he usually takes this task, namely driving my highness, extremely seriously, still he particularly was more calm than his usual self, as if he was thinking about something of much importance.
The whole atmosphere was rather weird, even when i asked him:
_"are we allowed to see Azziz? I don't know how procedures go in jail, but we're not his relatives nor his attorneys, it must be very hard to get an approval, isn't it?"
He coldly nodded, just nodded.
Whether is was a "yes, we are allowed" or "yes, it's hard to be allowed" i'm not sure about that.
even the protection team's activity was rather more careful than their habit, because usually only three cars follow ours wherever we go, on our way to the prison though, there were ten of them instead.
Since i was very idle and a bit uncomfortable with the "overly" serious atmosphere around me, i curiously asked Eliyas again:
_" the protection team is larger in size today. Isn't 10 full cars too much?"
Eliyas casted me a nano second gaze of impatience before shifting his eyes again to focus on the road, he replied:
_"i don't intervene in their job, if they think that more caution is needed then it is needed, you don't need to think about these procedures."
I nodded in understanding, then i suggested:
_" it's not very necessary to see Azziz anyways, if this is making you uncomfortable or in danger anyhow then we can cancel this visit."
He sighed, then remained silent.
So it was left for me to interpret this sigh and silence of his, i took it as a:
"yes, although i'm very bothered, i will just take you there and bother my self even further."
When we finally reached our destination, namely the jail, and we parked close to the exterior gate, Eliyas suddenly ordered me:
_" you stay here in the car, i'll be back in a minute."
Without giving me any further explanation, he opened his seat's door , then he went out of the car leaving me alone inside.
I was feeling increasingly more uncomfortable with every passing moment, especially when i noticed that when Eliyas went outside the car, he specifically headed towards the leader of the protection team to have a private chat.
Soon after he finished speaking with him, the leader of the protection team whose name i never knew made lots of calls though his device, then the guards stood orderly all around the place, while a group of them surrounded our car.
They were all armed.
Speaking of the nameless protection team leader, there was another figure in Eliyas's surrounding as well who i have long been curious about and who i never had the audacity to ask about.
This person, who i will call Mr H for convenience, is always around Eliyas, and by always, i mean that even the protection team occasionally changes figures but this person was never replaced, even when we first were married and up until now, he'd always been around Eliyas.
He seems in his mid thirties, and unlike the huge guards he had a smaller build, so he more likely was in charge of something that didn't require much physical effort, maybe paperwork.
I never saw him smile, nor have any change of expression, and whatever that he does in his profession, it seems like he's very capable since Eliyas "the business devil" is always keeping him close by.
As for the reason i suddenly thought about Mr H, it's because he was the only one absent in this huge party.
To see someone who is constantly present suddenly gone is indeed very suspicious, i was a journalist for a very long time, and usually such details are very important to analyse.
As i was in the process of launching my journalist mode, Eliyas who was standing a bit far from the car kept looking at me carefully for long awkward moments before he finally walked towards my seat, he opened the car door for me.. Then he said:
_" come on out, we'll go now."
Just put your selves in my shoes, all i wanted was to meet someone and have a discussion with, i didn't expect such drama to happen even before the meeting itself!
I'm a reasonable person, if i see a danger.. i logically just run away, for this reason i stubbornly remained in my seat and i warned:
_" Eliyas, if there's something wrong going on, then you better tell me right now." .
You see, i'm not the most courageous person ever, i'd rather lead a clueless comfortable life than be in any kind of danger, well, my pain phobia is the greatest proof of how scared i get in case of a danger and harm, so i would absolutely not risk anything just for the sake of meeting Azziz. It's very unnecessary to begin with, i just want to ask him why was he acting trashy, which seems very silly in comparison with the seriousness of the atmosphere.
Eliyas sighed again, then he bowed and unfastened the seatbelt for me.
While doing that, he brought his face so close to mine, then after unfastening the seatbelt he just remained in that position, so close to me.. His eyes looking right inside mine.
"My husband is indeed very handsome" i thought while my heart started beating stronger and my breaths accelerated, if the situation was slightly different, i mean if there was not more than 30 men carefully observing us, i would have kissed the life out of this man.
I don't know how tempted Eliyas gets when being this close to me, but judging from the steadiness of his breaths, i bet i'm 1000 times more tempted than him.
_" Noursine" he softly called my name.
I just blinked, after hearing his voice.. I was ready to risk it all and just give the guards an 18+ show to watch.
Eliyas while intensely looking at me continued:
_" In case there was anything wrong, do you think i will risk putting you in danger?"
Needless to say it, it took me great time and mind effort to understand what he was talking about, still the moment i did that.. my suspicious heart felt more at ease, i shook my head to express my trust in him, then i said:
_" ok, let's go meet that man and finish with this."
He finally stepped away giving me freedom from that very uncomfortable position, then i stood up and followed him out of the car.
While we were walking, the guards shielded us closely, then when we finally were at the gate, we were throughoutly inspected before we were allowed inside.
Usually, when Eliyas visits such public places there would always be people waiting to receive and guide him in order to make acquaintances with him, it wasn't the case though in this institution, we were inspected and treated ordinarily, and no one tried to block our way.
After second consideration i reached this conclusion: Eliyas must be keeping his visit to the jail discreet, otherwise, someone must have definitely jumped from nowhere and ceased the chance of meeting him.
When we were finally seated inside the room in which we were supposed to meet Azziz, we were surrounded by the jail security guards, while i was observing all that feeling uncomfortable, Eliyas who was standing right behind my chair suddenly leaned his head and whispered in my ear:
_" whatever that you hear from him today, just wait for my explanation later, ok?"
When i turned to look at him and ask about what he meant by this, the other door of the room was soundly opened and Azziz accompanied by other two guards walked inside.
He was handcuffed and closely observed, akin he was in jail for a murder case.
He was thinner than the last time i saw him, his hair was cut so short and his eyes that were piercing holes in Eliyas who was standing right behind me were very different from his usual soft and calm ones.
In whichever way that i looked at him he was.. Just not Azziz.
He steadily walked to where i was sitting, then he looked at me through the glass that separated us without saying a word, with no expression on his face.
While looking at him, Eliyas carefully walked away from my seat, he leaned on the nearest wall, crossed his hands on his chest and kept observing the whole situation like a hawk.
_"why are you here?" Azziz suddenly spoke addressing me.
He inhaled, then added:
_"this isn't a place for you to come to__"
_" i received your message, from Lydia." I interrupted him.
Although he initially was casting me a very cold and indifferent gaze, but the moment i mentioned Lydia's name he genuinely looked very confused.
_" Lydia?" He asked.. After a second thought he added:
_"you mean Ines's friend?"
I was a bit taken aback with his reaction, still i wasn't sure whether he was genuine or just faking ignorance, so i further said:
_"lets not waste time, i thought you and i at least still had respect when we separated but i was wrong, i'm here to know why you did all this to your self and to me, why would you be an accomplice of Lydia's?"
_"if you want an explanation for all that i did then ask your dear husband yourself, as for Lydia, my only link with her was her being Ines's friend, nothing more." Azziz replied indifferently to my surprise.
He then looked behind me towards Eliyas, and mockingly laughed while saying to me:
_" well although it's very late but congratulations for your marriage, your husband is really ready to go to any extent for you."
While i felt confused, he addressed Eliyas saying:
_" Aren't you quite obsessed with your wife, how come you let such a scum like Lydia trick her into coming here?"
Before i even had the chance to understand what was unexpectedly happening, Eliyas stood up properly then stepped towards us again.
He brought his face closer to the glass to look at Azziz right in the eyes, then he icily said:
_" The reason i brought her here.. You still can't see it yet? I'll give you a hint, go look at your reflexion on the mirror and you'll know why i brought my wife to see you."
Even i got what Eliyas cruelly meant, the reason he brought me to see Azziz for, is to see his downfall, to destroy the beautiful picture i still had of my ex. You see, the only man i ever loved besides Eliyas was Azziz, Eliyas ruined him in every way and he wanted me to personally see that.
This husband of mine.. Is indeed ruthless.
_"you scum!" Azziz shouted at the top of his lungs while he stood up and banged his hands on the glass.
His movement was so violent that he flipped the chair he was sitting on, and it fell hard on the ground with a bang.
The loud noises made me reflexively jolt and scream, so Eliyas immediately circled me with his arms as a way to reassure me, when Azziz saw this, he became even more raucous as he banged the glass even more and yelled:
_" you scum!! Wallah( i swear to god) i'll ruin you! I'll ruin you!!"
The guards soon surrounded him and dragged him out of the room, while leaving he repeated:
_" he toyed me Noursine! I wouldn't have left you.. He toyed me! Don't trust him!"
