Welcome back!
I cant believe we are at Chapter 10 already what a crazy fun ride. <3 br="">
This is Janu's POV.
Chapter 10: Crossed Lines
I spent the weekend at Murat's abim* place. They offered me the guest bedroom.
Toda, I woke up by Fajir Namaz*, prayed, then laid back in bed wide awake. I was too tired to work this Monday morning.
I stayed in bed waiting for my angel to wake me up. I waited to hear her little quick footsteps on the wooden floor all the way to the guest bedroom.
When Melek finally came in I closed my eyes, acting asleep. She climbed into the bed and started kissing me as she said "Uyan, uyan* JanJan."
That's what she calls me JanJan.
I suddenly wrapped my hands around her and threw her into her back and started kissing and tickling her.
She shrieked due to my sudden movement then started to laugh.
"MELEK! Hadi gel*. Let's leave Janu teyze* get dressed." Said Nuriya walking into the room.
I left Melek off the bed and into the floor.
"I have nothing to wear to work. Allahum*!!!' I exclaimed as I moved into my feet 'I have to run back home."
"Tamam canım* take something from my closet and return it later on. It will give us the chance to see you again right Melek." Nuriya said with a smile.
"Ama..." I started.
"Uzatma*, sen benim ablasin*." She pressed back.
"Tamam." I finally gave in.
I sat in his office in a emrald green dress and nude heels.
Nuriya had a more of a smaller figure when compared to mine, so the dress was a little tighter than my liking. It hugged my curves closely. It took me some time to find this dress I needed something that looked good but professional but mostly good on me.
At last, Nikola walked into his office with the hugest smirk ever.
The annoying squirrel.
He looked slightly different from last week, but I couldn't quite tell what was it. May be the exhaustion that his face wore that mirrored mine. This case is taking a toll on us, both of us.
He asked me what to drink and when I said coffee he switched it into tea.
When I informed him I will drink what I want.
Nikola waited on his secretary to leave the room then he went for it, attacking me. He walked straight to were I stood, sending me back crumbling into the chair.
Damn this chair! Damn this tight dress! And damn my body that never knows how to handle his jerks and all of him!!!!!
"I won't touch your drink, if I didn't knew that you prefer tea later during the day. You drink coffee in the morning and another cup in the afternoon. Nasıl?!"* He replied with a smirk.
How did he even know that?!!!!!!
JANU FOCUS, THIS IS NOT WHY YOU ARE HERE TODAY.
I shook off that thought as his face was only inches away from mine. I breathed heavily as he tilted his head slightly in a fake innocent way.
The arrogant squirrel.
I finally told him to get off me, acting disgusted and all. I felt my heart will burst out of my rib cage if he kept up his gentle attack.
Nikola finally moved away taking his own seat opposite to me. He gave me a small gesture to go on.
I collected myself as I asked the question I was here for "Why did you leave criminal law two years a go?!"
The smirk on his face dropped then he directed his eyes away from mine. His face twisted into an expression I never saw his face withhold.
Was that pain?!!!!
I waited for a reply, but nothing came out from his side.
"Ne?!"* I questioned him.
His eyes snapped back into my face, as if my last word brought him back into the present moment.
Nikola stared at me, his eyes full of anger, fear, and disappointment?!!!
I am not quite sure of the last one though. I wont lie I was a bit terrified but I wanted an answer.
"I am sorry." He said as he got up from his seat.
"I have to leave. There is this meeting I just remembered that I ........" He said in a dead-on serious tone as he headed to his door.
"BI DAKKA!* Give me an answer." I demanded.
"NE? NE? I hooked up with my client's wife. HERE IS YOUR ANSWER. OLDU MU?!!"* He said in a harsh firm tone.
He opened the door that revealed Nur with a tray of tea and coffee. He looked straight ahead as he said firmly "Nur accompany Janu Hanim outside. I have to leave."
Nikola didn't look back at me leaving me stand there with Nur looking at me puzzled.
A line was crossed.
I stepped on the wrong side of the lawn.
I leaned down heavyhearted as I sat down in the green dress.
I decided to go to my stairs to clear up my head.
I made a mental note to send the dress to a laundry before returning it to Nuriya. I had my sneakers on now that I hid in my handbag and changed into before coming here.
The day went by with my brain was occupied by Nikola. I kept thinking about what happened two years a go?!
The more I thought about it, the less I had concluded.
My phone vibrated, I picked up without checking upon the name on display.
"Selam* is this Janu Hanım. Yardim ihtiyacım var*, I need a lawyer." her voice came in.
"EVET."* I said with a little laugh.
"Kizim* how have you been?!" She asked.
We caught up. I told her about my case. She talked about France. Eve was currently in France, her annual summer getaway.
"Janu if you needed to crash at my place, I don't need to tell you. Oh my who is watering my flowers?!" She exclaimed."Tamam Eve I will check on your flowers and water them myself." I said trying to calm her down.
"So tell me how is your Adam?!" I asked.
"WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME ABOUT ADAM?!" She shouted her reply.
Oh boy this means they are in a fight.
You see after college they finally confessed their love but that didn't mean they were in a relationship. I swear their relationship is a teen drama. Get together, break up, make up, and this had been going of for around 3 years now.
"Tamam Eve, I didn't mean....." I tried to defend my case.
"ASKING ME ABOUT ADAM, BANA NE?!!!* WHO IS HE TO ME?!!!" she interrupted me.
"Bilmiyorum*, ama…….." I tried again.
"KAPAT*, KAPAT. You are pissing me off. Go check on my flowers, tamam. Hadi gule gule*. AU REVOIR*." She said. I could hear her cursing me in French as she hanged up.
"Ahhhh" I exhaled as I dropped my head down surrendering.
Not my day.
I just pissed off my best friend and Nikola.
I grunted as I got off the bus in the end of my neighborhood. I haven't seen my family in two days.
I walked up the street all the way into my old neighborhood.
The old women and men looking at me with a sore expression. They wished me a good day but I couldn't hear any of them.
My mind was occupied by Nikola in it, and that's about it. Not even the case had a place up in there.
I put the keys into the keyhole, then made my way upstairs into my bedroom.
I sat on my bed.
What was it?!
What if what he said is true?!
He hooked up with a client's wife!!!
I closed my eyes as I leaned back into my bed.
In that very moment my door flew open revealing my angry mother.
"SEN!!!* I CALL YOU FOUR TIMES AND YOU DONT REPLY. SHAME ON YOU!!!!" She started.
Oh boy here we go again.
"ANNE TAMAM. I am tired leave me alone." I said back.
"Tamam tatlim*. Başka?!"* She said in a fake soft voice.
"Yok."* I replied.
The next thing was her taking off her slipper and crashing down into my bed. My mother started hitting me over my butt.
"ANNE!!! Yavas this is Nuriya's dress. YETER*, YETER. Leave me alone." I said as I jumped up into my feet.
"Yok ya. We are a hotel in here. You come and leave whenever you like. Do you want any room service up in here?!"
"ANNE" I am starting to lose my patience.
"Shameful girl. At least ask about how your mother is doing. Work work work all day long. I don't know how you will find a husband like this?! You can't marry your job, tamam kizim."
"Anne lütfen*. Don't go there." I said back in an attempt to calm her down.
"You don't want to grant me the happiness of seeing your grandchildren! What will happen to you if I died?!" She said as she began crying.
ALLAHUM.
Everyone around me today is hormonal.
