Chapter: 16

                                    

                                          
Gaining enough courage, he finally knocked the door and waited impatiently for her to open. But she didn't answered. He frowned and again knocked but again there was no reply. Then for the first time, he uttered her name.
                          
Emir: Reyhna...? (After a pause) Reyhan, are you inside?
                          
He asked and waited but still no reply came from her side. He frowned again and slightly opened the door. The room was empty. There absolutely no traces of her were left. 
                          
"May be she is in the kitchen."
                          
"But I was in the living room, a minute ago, I didn't heard any voice coming from kitchen."
                          
"Then may be she is with Melike, in her room."
                          
Thinking so he hide the flowers and went to the out house. He knocked Melike's door only to realize that she was on the leave.
                          
"Where can she go?"
                          
"Did she already left?"


                          
His heart sank on this thought and he hurriedly went back to the sleeping area of his room and checked her cupboards. He relaxed a bit on finding her clothes there. 
                          
"Thank God! She is still here."
                          
He breath out in relief and try to go out when a shining metal caught his attention. 
                          
It was shining bright yellow. Curiously, he moved there and saw the object. 

                          
His eyes widened and breathing hitched when he finally saw the object. It was the wedding ring of Reyhan along with the traditional ring which Hikmet asked him to make her wear. He opened the square shaped box which was placed beside the rings. His family's traditional pendant was inside the box. 

                          
He slowly sat on the near by chair.

                          
"She left!"
                          
"She already left!"
                          
"She left without talking to me."
                          
"She left without informing me."
                          
"She didn't gave me a single chance to explain myself."
                          
"She didn't gave our relationship a chance."
                          
"She left everything behind."
                          
"She left everything which Dad gifted her."
                          
"She left even her clothes because those were too purchased from Tarhun's money."
                          
"She did not took anything from here."
                          
"Absolutely nothing. "
                          
"She left everything behind."
                          
"She left her uncle."
                          
"She left...m..me!"
                          
Unknown to him a lone tear escaped from his eyes. 
                          
"She did a good job."
                          
"Afterall, she was alone here."
                          
"Alone amongst the crowd."
                          
"Alone in this mansion."
                          
"Alone in this room."
                          
"No one was there to talk to her, not even her husband."
                          
"She waited for a month but nothing changed."
                          
"She was still treated as a stranger in this house, like the day one."
                          
"I hope, soon you will find your happiness."
                          
"I wish you and Mehmet a happy life."

                          
He smiled and slowly put the roses in the trash can and moved to sleep on sofa.
                          
Reyhan was sitting at the bus stop, waiting for a bus. She had called her neighbor, Mukadar and informed her that she was coming back. 
                          
She went to meet her baba in the hospital, before coming here. She told him that she was going to the Erzurum but she didn't mentioned that she was going back forever. Because just a few days ago, he had angioplasty and doctor had clearly told her that he must not take any stress. 

                          
She was there for two hours and then she moved. She didn't packed anything as those were brought by her baba and according to Cavidan, nothing from that house, belongs to her. And those stuffs which she brought from Erzurum were burnt down by Nigar on Cavidan's order.


                          
The bus came, she moved to board and looked back with heavy heart before boarding. 

                          
"I hope, you will be happy now."

                          
She said in her mind and left for Erzurum with teary eyes.


                          
Cemre and Cavidan acted shocked on hearing about her departure but inside their mind, they did the happy dance. Cavidan and Cemre had tough time in hiding their happiness when Emir told them. But Cemre sensed the sadness in his voice. So to remove Reyhan from his mind permanently, she played the trump card.

                          
Cemre: (Sounding sad) I am really sorry for you Emir. I know that you wanted this relationship to work but girls like Reyhan can never understand it. They only know how to hurt others. I am sure she must have taken jwelleries and must have withdrawn a large sum from the account. As you alreadyknew, she was here only for money. 
                          
Emir: (cutting her sentence in between) No no, its not like that. She took nothing with her. Not even the things which belonged to her.
                          
Cemre: (rolling her eyes) I can't believe it!
                          
Emir: (sternly) But that's the truth, I myself saw them.
                          
As Emir was defending Reyhan, his phone buzzed. He took out his phone from the pocket and frowned on seeing the message notification from company's account section. 

                          
He opened and was shocked to see the message. It stated that, Reyhan had withdrawn the sum of 5M from the company's account. 
                          
Cemre smirked on seeing his reaction as she remembered how she sneaked inside Emir's room, from poolside when Emir went out in search of Reyhan. She stole Reyhan's credit and debit card which she placed along with the rings before leaving. She kept that in her purse and immediately moved out of the mansion. She then gave those cards to her men and asked them to withdraw money. 

                          
It took around 1 hour for then to withdraw as they were not able to find the atm which does not require pincode for withdrawals. Lastly, they had to take help from a Mafia to get the work done. 

                          
Cemre smirked and said.
                          
Cemre: What happened? Got the notification of withdrawal?
                          
Emir nodded yes in shock. 
                          
Cemre: I told you, these girls from small towns are not at all trust worthy. They can do anything for money. (After a pause) When she got to know that she is exposed, she ran away with the money.
                          
Cavidan: (Supporting Cemre) You are right my child, I told him many times but he never listened. (Turning to Emir)  Now see what happened, she stole all our money. 
                          
Emir didn't payed any heed to the ladies and left the place. He was taking long strides while walking to his room. All the happenings of last night played in his mind. He gritted his teeth in anger.

                          
"You messed with the wrong guy, Reyhan!"


                          
Loads of love!
