Afraid for the ones you love

It was the next day and Ari arrived at work on time this time. Ibrahim was glad to see her safe but figured that maybe he should start picking her up. He didn't want Ardit to pull anything while she was gone. In fact, Ari was still staying in a hotel room. Maybe he should invite her to live with him. But was that really appropriate? He was her boss and she made it clear that she did not see him anything more than that. But they both could not deny their feelings for each other.

She said she didn't want to admit her feelings yet, and even stopped him from telling her his. To have this agony was bad enough, but to have Ardit also keep invisible eye on her was just too much.

He would imagine just coming up from behind her, wrapping his arms around her, caressing her gently, and whispering in her ear, 'no one will hurt you, Ari. I will protect you, always'.
