Unexpected Love

Chapter 2 (Unwanted Arrival)

Emma: Who are you?
Andrew: I'm your cousin. My mom is your mom's sister.
Andrew was speaking in a very cold and stern way.
Emma: You're the one who's taking me?
Andrew: unfortunately!
Emma gets up from the bed and stands in front of him.
Emma: unfortunately? You don't want me to come?
Andrew: What do you think? Does this look like someone who wants to live with you?
Emma: Leave me then! Why do you care so much? I don't want to go anyway! So go now, I'll take care of myself.

Andrew gets angery, he grabs her arm hard and pulls her close to him. She moans in pain but he didn't care.
Andrew: Listen, taking you with me wasn't my will. If it were up to me, I would have left you in an orphanage. But thanks to your aunt, I'm stuck with you. So let's not talk to each other until we reach New York, okay?
Emma looked at him, scared and crying. She didn't understand why he was being so harsh. Just then, Danny entered the room and Andrew turned to him, releasing her arm.
Danny: I took care of everything, we can go now.
They turned to Emma who was still wearing her pajama.
Danny: I brought your belongings, Emma. They're in the car. And I left something for you to wear in the wardrobes here. Put it on and we'll be waiting for you outside.

Emma nodded and cast a fearful glance at Andrew before heading to the bathroom. Danny waited until Emma closed the door and began speaking to Andrew.
Danny: Mr. Andrew! I know that things were bad in the past, but Emma is not to blame. She was too young and didn't understand anything. She might not even remember you or her aunt. So please, don't be so cruel to her. She is a kind-hearted girl and has just lost her entire life. I'm begging you not to be so harsh.
Andrew: No one cared when we were suffering. Anyway!!
They waited a bit until Emma finished getting ready.
Emma: I'm ready!

Danny: Great! Let's go.
They headed out of the hospital, with Danny saying goodbye to Emma.
Emma: Aren't you coming, Danny? Will you leave me alone?
Andrew: We don't eat people, don't worry!
Emma didn't respond to him and just kept looking at Danny.
Danny: I've got some work to do for now, but I'll come visit you soon, okay? I'll keep in touch with you either way.
Emma nodded and hugged Danny before turning to enter the car. She hesitated for a moment, remembering the accident.
Andrew: Come on!!
Emma entered the car nervously and looked at Danny, waving goodbye.

On their way to the airport, Andrew was checking his phone for work while Emma was looking out the window at Istanbul for the last time. She closed her eyes, remembering all her memories there. She wiped away her tears with her hand and then turned to Andrew.
Emma: Can I ask you a favor?
Andrew looked at her without answering.
Emma: Can I go see my parents one last time?
Tears gathered in Emma's eyes.
Andrew: I don't have time for this. We need to be at the airport on time.
Emma: Please, it's just a last goodbye. I promise I won't take much time.
Andrew (sighed): Fine, but make it quick.

Emma smiled and wiped her tears, grateful for his agreement. They drove to the cemetery where her parents were buried. Emma knelt down in front of their graves and whispered a silent prayer. She placed fresh flowers and stayed there for a few minutes in silence, touching the soil while crying. She said her final goodbye and got up to leave. Andrew was waiting for her in the car, and they continued on to the airport. Emma was quiet for the rest of the ride to the airport, lost in thought. Andrew didn't disturb her, he could see that she was still upset. When they arrived at the airport, they went through security and went to his plane. Emma was seated next to the window, staring out at the clouds as they took off. Andrew was working on his laptop, answering emails and going through reports. The flight was long, but they arrived in New York City safely. As they stepped out of the airport, Emma took a deep breath of the crisp, cool air.

Emma was gazing out the car window at the New York streets, buildings, advertisements, and people. The people were totally different from those in Turkey. They were not bad, but still not like the people she was used to seeing in Turkey. She was looking at everything in wonder and smiling like a little child. Andrew would glance at her from time to time as she didn't say a word since they were in the cemetery. He was trying not to laugh at her when she would turn to him after seeing something funny or strange and share it with him as she used to do with her friends. 
They finally arrived at Andrew's house. Emma looked at it in awe. Despite being wealthy and owning a big, beautiful house, this one was even more luxurious. Andrew knocked on the car window, waking up Emma and telling her to get out of the car. She opened the door and stepped out, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head and became dizzy. She clutched her head and struggled a little, trying to find something to lean on. Andrew noticed her and quickly went to her, trying to see what was wrong.
