My Stories: Kerim Fatmagül Corner #Wattys2016

THE TRUTH: Part 1

DISCLAIMER: This is not a continuation of the previous. Each part will be a different story with the same characters and set up.

"Where are you Kerim?", Maryam asked on phone as Fatmagul looked on.

"I am caught in the middle of some work. It will take time for me to be back Aapa.", he replied.

" Kerim", he heard someone call him from behind.

"Who is that?", Maryam asked.

" No one aapa, I'll call you back in some time"

Before their call could end, someone pushed him from behind.

"Ouch!!!", Kerim screamed and the phone fell down.

" Kerim, Kerim ", Maryam went on calling him hysterically.

" What happened?", Fatmagul asked.

Maryam gestured her to keep quiet.

"How dare you!!!!", Selim punched Kerim on his face.

" You took the money,married the girl and after 6 months lodge a complaint against us", Erdogan joined in.

"I don't believe this. Why the hell are those morons back?"

"What happened Aapa? Whom are you talking about?", Fatma couldn't understand the reason of Maryam's worries.

"Kerim's friends, those who raped you are beating up Kerim coz of the complaint."

Fatmagül became numb on the revelation. She snatched the phone from Maryam. 

"Kerim, Kerim", she started crying as she heard him wailing. The bastards were surely up to something. Kerim was getting beaten black and blue.

"We were your friends and you betrayed us", they went on hitting kerim frantically.

" What friends? You all trapped me. You got saved and put the blame on me. I never had any affair with Fatmagul."

"There was no need to lodge the complaint. All were happy."

"Happy, my foot. How can you escape your deeds, Erdogan?", Kerim tried to balance himself.

Fatmagul's hands were shaking with fear.

************************************

" Seni seviyorum "( I love you),  Kerim confessed to her at the house warming party.

Fatmagul stood like a statue in front of him.

"How convenient is that? First you rape me then try come clean with such stupid words", she sniffed.

" Yes I was with them. I was strung out. I can never do this heinous deed even in my dream."

"Yes... Not in your dream but definitely after being drugged. Isn't it?", Fatmagul interrupted him.

" Why don't you understand? You have seen me for months. You have been staying with me. Can't you see the real me? Aren't you able to mark the difference?"

"I don't want to see the difference. I want the truth out"

"I love you. What's the bigger truth than this?"

"Don't beg. If you love me, prove it", she ordered.

" How should I do that? What should I do that will make you believe it?", he asked.

"That you have to know yourself", she stomped off from there.

Next morning

A loud siren was heard and the sound became louder as it approached the gate of their house.

" What's this noise all about?", Maryam rushed to the hall from the kitchen as Fatmagul stared out of the window trying to figure out what it was.

"Its the police van Aapa. But why did they stop at our gate?", Fatmagul was now worried.

The duo opened the door and sprinted outside.

"We are here to arrest Kerim Ilgaz", the officer informed.

" But why? ", Maryam was perturbed.

" For raping Fatmagul Ketençi"

"I did not report anything. How can you arrest without a complaint?", Fatmagul was appalled at the sudden developments.

" We have an arrest warrant and Kerim himself has lodged the complaint. Its better if Kerim surrenders himself. Kindly don't let us use other ways to bring the culprit out.", the officer warned.

"What the hell are you speaking? Yasrans have trapped my child. My Kerim is innocent. You can ask Fatmagul. She has been living with him for the past few months. Why don't you check the newspaper? There was a news of Yasrans into this case.", Maryam rattled.

" We have complaints again Selim, Vural and Erdogan too. You need not worry about them. Where is Kerim?", the officer had become impatient.

"I am here and I surrender myself", the ladies were stunned at his voice.

They turned around to find him standing with his hands stretched out. The officer quickly handcuffed him and took him to the van.

Maryam ran frantically trying to stop them.

Fatmagul froze to her place watching everything in an utter disillusionment. 

************************************

Kerim's cries made Fatmagul restless. How could she ignore the fact that everything was happening coz of the complaint.

She could hear two voices : Selim and Erdogan as she heard calling them calling each other.

" Stop!!! Stop beating him", a third voice came which probably sounded like a help.

Fatmagul's hopes rose with it.
