4. Sisterhood

....

Istanbul

Refik's men dragged Cilem and her boyfriend Burak inside their place.

"leave me"

" We will take a walk"

" Leave me Leave me alone"

"What are you guys doing? What are you going to? "

"Leave me"

"If you keep talking to me like this, I will cut your tongue off"

.....

On the other part of the city,Sinan Malik's phone rang and he reached in his pocket to answer

"Sinan there is good news for you." The fired employee said

"I can't expect any good news from you. "Sinan said

"Hey, first listen to the good news. Sir Tekin is getting married today."

Sinan went silent for a few seconds

"What happened? Why did you become silent? "

"What is the purpose of telling me all this? "

"I should have told you about his happiness. "

"His existence and non-existence are the same for me. What he does and what he doesn't, I don't care. "

"Nice. What did he do to your mother? Don't you remember? Listen Sinan,you are just two hours away from me. It won't take me much time to reach you. I am also thinking the same thing. Was it true that you would come here immediately after hearing this news? What is this? You got scared? You were a coward. I did not expect this from you. Sinan this means that Tekin sir was right."

" It seems that Tekin has also thrown you out. Even licking his feet was of no used By the way, I said it right. Did he throw you out or did his future wife? I knew this. Now what do you want from me? That I should come there and talk to them for you. You are a very stubborn person. Remember, I will not help you in any way. "

" Wait, first listen to me, then you can talk to his wife. He did not even mention you and your mother. He did not tell her anything. You forgot how your father had spent your childhood. Your mother lived through hardships, endured so much pain, ruined her life Now he is starting a new life as if you and your mother don't exist"

" Control your tongue, if my mind wanders and I come there, then remember what I say I will make you and Tekin Malik's condition such that you will remember it all your life, don't call me again"

Sinan dropped the call. Devastated, fired Okan leaned back in his chair on the street, with packed bags not knowing where to go to. Tekin arrived at that very moment and threw the house keys to him.

" I don't understand what to do Yasir sir, I forgot that my life is yours " Okan said

"Let's go back " Tekin said

Without hesitation,Okan picked the keys from the floor in gratitude

"I am your servant"

", just don't pull my leg in future".

...

At the open fields away from prying eyes,Ipek Deren and Azra sat and read the letter Ipek received

' It doesn't matter who I am One day you will understand yourself why you got this letter Take care of yourself my love And remember one thing, the most valuable relationship in a person's life is that of his brother and sister'

" How strange it is, isn't it? I am very happy today and I have never felt like this before today"Ipek said

"Well, there are two things here whose answer we have to find First thing, who wrote this letter He has sent it and secondly what is the reason for sending it now If this person knows us to this extent then it is possible that he has been keeping an eye on us for many years "Deren said

"What does it mean if he sent it to my name then he surely knows everything about us beforehand but what is the proof of this "

"Tell me one thing what was the first thought that came to your mind as soon as you received my invitation That someone is trying to commit fraud You see if you had received this invitation from me then it would have really been a fraud"

"but why are you saying this I am not rich like you neither do I have big cars nor any bungalow full of debauchery I live in a poor area passing through the streets you both might get scared and I work in a small restaurant but I sing very well I will be surprised maybe that is why I got the letter whoever it was knew that I will find you both He knows the three of us who knows whether it was me, Amma or Baba sent it to me"

"Yes, I still can't believe it Everything seems like a dream"

Deren took out their old family photo,one they have no memory of

"They look so happy in this picture It seems that they are made for each other With how much love they are looking at each other "

Talking about their parents on the photo

" Those who leave their children Their hearts are made of stone"

" Don't think too much about this"

"Even me I am not able to understand anything I mean should I search for them or not I am not able to decide Do you guys have any answer?" Ipek asked them

"Yes I have only one reason That I can meet them once and ask them about everything" Azra said

"Until I meet them both I will not take any decision "

Deren said

"Come on let's go and get my wedding dress, I can't wait for it to be delivered, I should rather go get it. Come on "Ipek said to them

"ok listen I don't have anything I also have to buy a dress to wear on your wedding"

" Yes yes I will get a dress for you too Come on"

...

In Istanbul

Hasan and Cilem are still in the hands of Refik's men.

" Your love is very beautiful" Refik said

"You think ?" Hasan said and in anger heads Refik. In turn, Refik's men hit Hasan ,he falls on the ground and they continue punching him

"No, don't kill him, leave him for God's sake, leave him,Leave him, leave him, leave him" Scared Cilem begs

....

In Izmir

The girls arrived in town

Azra spots Mahir and smiles

"You have met Mahir before?"Ipek asked

"he was the one who dropped me at your house," Azra answered

"Mahir is a very old friend of mine"

"I met one of your friends while coming here, Kenan"

"was he handsome too?Like Mahir?"

" I mean I didn't notice him that much, I mean he seemed like a good person, he helped me." Deren said

"Despite having such a handsome friend, you are marrying that old man, what's the matter with you?"

While the girls are outside waiting for Afet,She came running to them with Ipek's mother Mujgan

" Afet my child has been waiting for so long"

"Mother my friends who were supposed to come have come Cilem and Deren this is my beloved mother, mother I told you that I will find these two"

"who are you talking about finding? Afet You just give me the keys and take the stuff and go home from there but that dress should I tell you I am here I will take care of it." Mujgan said

"so you told mum about my secret Afet?" Ipek asked

"I could not see your condition and keep quiet that's why I told it"

" I am leaving we will meet at the wedding tonight you have crossed all limits no one can say that you are not everyone's sister"

"they are happy to meet you Ipek but I want to talk to you in private."

" Mum I know what you want to talk to me about just do it mother "

"Why I cannot give you permission to get married this is a new thing come inside everyone is listening to us. You also come inside girls in such times only sisters can console come "

"Ama look I told you no one hit me I have self-inflicted injury"

" so show me why don't you show it to me" Mujgan strips Ipek and the girls are also horrified by the bruises they see. Ipek is then silent

"Ipek what has happened?" Azra asked

"Why did you hide it from me I am your mother Sit down, you both also sit down"

"Yasir has promised me that he will not raise his hand on me in future no matter what happens" Ipek reassures

"Let it go my love If someone makes a mistake once It is not necessary that he repeats it again But a mistake made repeatedly is not a mistake " Deren said

"Yes, it hasn't been a long time since we met And you have already started explaining to me I know that he is suspicious by nature And why not There is a huge age difference between us"

"In what happy world do you live he will always do this to you and then he apologizes And you forgive him Every time he promises not to beat you"

"Tell me I don't understand this I am thinking why do you want to marry him this is too much this is too much"

" quickly give me my wedding dress I have to go "

" I had promised my Baba before dying that I will return his lost wealth"

" my love that person is not worthy of you why are you doing this is this is true are you marrying him only for his wealth" Mujgan said

" that wealth is not his neither that house nor that factory in fact everything belongs to my Baba" Ipek said

" I cannot tolerate all this so it means you are marrying him to fulfill the promise you made to Baba "Azra said

"I don't want to hear anything now he will never raise his hand on me in future"

" this is nonsense what is the guarantee that this will not happen again tell me what is the guarantee if he takes your life then how much life is there in you one deep injury is enough to take life I'm a doctor Ipek "Deren said

"Cilem quickly get any dress for yourself

Choose it, we don't have time, hurry up, we are getting late Come on, Amma, the wedding is scheduled at 7:00 pm, I will like it if you come" With that the girls left the store

"Ipek wait,wait!"

Noticing the commotion,Mahir approached Mujgan

" Mujgan aunty what happened?"

"everything is fine, everything was fine, but since Tekin came, has our life been ruined?"

"At least tell me something now, what should I do aunty?"

" it is completely beyond my understanding"

....

On the way home,in Deren's car

"With what attachment are you marrying that old man, that person does not deserve anyone's hatred?"Azra asked

"he loves me a lot"

"This is enough for me, that person loves you and also beats you, then he is definitely a drug addict You are doing very bad to yourself" Deren said

"no, it is not like that, I am starting a new life and

After marriage, I will have the legal authority over everything"

", your mind is in its place Yes, this is how life begins. You are not saying much."

" Yes, yours. So you have spent your whole life in an orphanage. After all, how much understanding do you have that you are telling me these things."

"Deren,stop the car. I am simple. I have to get down. "Azra said

"I did not mean that. He himself is troubled at this time. Okay, listen, forgive me"

"I said stop the car. I am not able to understand. You are right. I have spent my whole life in an orphanage. I do not know what a family is. As soon as I turned 18, I was thrown out of there as well. I did not know anything about the world. How to earn money, how to spend money. I had nothing except a bed. And that too was not mine. But I heard a lot of stories there about how my one family was thrown out of the orphanage. My friend's father killed his mother One was abandoned as soon as he was born Someone was harmed by his own brother And after listening to all these stories I tried to understand life very closely I don't have anyone of my own in this world That's why I know how precious the feeling of having someone of my own"

" Please Forgive me I will never hurt you We must walk"
