Kate's POV

After a few minutes of driving, we arrived at one of the busiest restaurants in town. I was surprised how we could possibly get a place at this restaurant without having to wait long.

"How can we get a table here? I heard this place is always full," I asked, looking at Erlan questioningly.

Erlan just smiled mysteriously. "I have a special connection. Come on, let's go in."

When we entered, the waiter immediately greeted us and took us to the reserved table. I still feel surprised and impressed by Erlan's ability to create this pleasant surprise. We sat at a table tucked away in a cozy corner, giving us privacy but still being able to enjoy the lively atmosphere of the restaurant.

"This is truly amazing, Erlan. Thank you for planning this," I said sincerely, feeling very appreciated.

Erlan smiled warmly. "I just want you to feel special, Kate. You deserve the best."

We ordered food and started making small talk about various things, from work to past memories. T

    Kate's POV "Thank you for tonight, Kate. I really enjoyed our time together," he said softly. "Me too, Erlan. Thank you for making tonight so special," I answered, reluctant to part. Erlan smiled and nodded. "See you tomorrow, Kate. Rest well." "Erlan, how about you come in and dry your clothes here? I can give you dry clothes temporarily," I offered when I realized his clothes were still soaking wet. Erlan looked embarrassed. "I don't want to bother you, Kate." "It's not a hassle at all. Come on, I won't let you go home wet like this," I insisted with a confident smile. After a moment of hesitation, Erlan finally nodded. "Okay, thanks, Kate." We went into my apartment, and I gave Erlan a towel and dry clothes. "You can change clothes in the bathroom," I said, pointing in the direction. After a few minutes, Erlan came out of the bathroom wearing the clothes I gave him. We sat in front of the TV with a cup of hot tea that I made. At first, we were silent for a long time

    Kayra's POV I sat on the living room sofa, staring at the wall clock which showed two in the morning. My eyes felt heavy, but the thought of Darwis not yet coming home made it difficult for me to sleep. Since the last few days, Darwis' behavior has become increasingly strange and difficult to understand. He often came home late at night, and when he came home, his mind seemed to be somewhere else. My cell phone was lying on the table, with the last message from Darwis which read.[I'm still at the office. I'll be home later.] I took a deep breath, feeling annoyed and anxious at the same time. What really happened to Darwis? Why did he suddenly become so distant and difficult to reach? I decided to wait for Darwis in the living room, hoping he would come home soon. My head was full of various thoughts, especially about our unpleasant meeting at the restaurant some time ago. At that time, we met Kate, Darwis' ex-wife, and since then Darwis' behavior has become increasingly s

    Kayra's POV I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself, but the emotions raging in my heart were difficult to suppress. I looked at Darwis with eyes full of worry and confusion. "Darwis, I need more than just promises. I need real action," I said in a voice that was starting to rise. "I told you, I will try, Kayra," he answered in a firmer tone. "But you also have to give me time." "Time? How much longer? I've been waiting and being patient, but every time there's a problem, you always come back to thinking about Kate!" I started to feel hopeless and frustrated. "What really happened, Darwis? Why can't you let go of your past?" Darwis sighed and looked at me with a look that was difficult to interpret. "It's not about me not being able to let go of the past. It's about me trying to keep everything under control." "Controlled? What about us? Do you feel that we are insignificant?" I became increasingly angry, feeling that all my feelings and efforts were not appreciated.

    Kate's POVI woke up feeling warm and comfortable, realizing that I was still in Erlan's arms. We both fell asleep in my room, the blanket covering our bodies. Erlan was still fast asleep, his face looked peaceful. I stared at him for a moment, feeling incredible happiness at being this close to him. Erlan slowly opened his eyes and smiled when he saw me. "Good morning, Kate," he said in the hoarse voice of someone who had just woken up. "Good morning, Erlan," I answered with a shy smile. "Did you sleep well?" "Yes, very sound," he said, still holding me tightly. "You?" I nodded. "Very soundly too. I feel very comfortable." We both looked at each other lovingly, feeling a new warmth and closeness. After a while, we finally decided to get up and make the bed. As we straightened out the blankets and pillows, we joked and teased each other. "Erlan, you should stay here more often. I need help making the bed," I joked while throwing a pillow at him. Erlan laughed and caugh

It felt so good to be able to share time with Erlan, even if it was only for a short time in the midst of busy work. After lunch, we returned to our respective offices with new enthusiasm. I feel more energized and ready to face the rest of the day. Once I got to my room, I continued my work with greater focus and efficiency. A few hours later, I got a message from my secretary that there was a guest who wanted to meet. I frowned in surprise, not expecting guests at a time like this. "Who is the guest?" I asked over the intercom. "Mr. Darwis, ma'am," answered my secretary in a slightly doubtful voice. My heart beats. Why did Darwis come to my office? I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself. "Okay, tell him to come in." The door opened, and Darwis entered with steady steps. His face looked tense, and I could feel that there was so

    Kayra's POV When I left Kate's room, I immediately walked quickly towards the office parking lot, where I saw Darwis who was about to get into his car. My anger peaked and without thinking, I ran after Darwis. "Darwis!" I shouted in a shrill voice, stopping Darwis who was already halfway into the car. Darwis turned his head in confusion, then frowned at the anger clearly displayed on my face. "What else is there, Kayra?" Darwis asked in a tired tone, but I didn't care. "What's wrong? You're actually asking what's wrong?" I approached quickly, closed Darwis' car door hard. "I know what you did in Kate's room earlier. You were trying to get back at her, right?" Darwis took a deep breath, trying to control his emotions. "Kayra, I just want to talk to Kate about something important. Nothing more than that." "Nonsense!" I shouted, the sound echoing in the empty parking lot. "I saw how you looked at her! You still love her, right?" Darwis looked at me sharply, his anger star

I have to stay strong and focused, both for myself and for my future with Erlan.Because living with people who love us is better than living with people we love but don't love us. When I tried to refocus on my work, my cell phone rang. Message from Erlan, "Is everything okay, Kate? You seemed a little disturbed earlier." I smiled faintly and typed a reply, "Yeah, just a little disturbance at the office. Thanks for asking. Can we talk tonight?" A quick reply came from Erlan, "Sure, I'll come to your apartment. Take care of yourself." Feeling relieved, I tried to focus back on work, knowing that Erlan was always there for me to provide the calm and support I needed. Today may be full of drama, but I know that I'm not alone in facing it. That afternoon, I went home with mixed feelings. My steps felt heavy w

Before leaving, Erlan gave me a comforting hug, making me feel more ready to face a challenging day. In the office, the atmosphere was tense from the moment I entered the room. My coworkers had heard about the rumors circulating, and they seemed worried. I immediately held an emergency meeting with the management team to discuss the steps to be taken. "Erlan has found evidence that Kayra is behind this rumor," I said firmly in front of the team. "We will take legal action against the reporter involved, and we will not allow this to damage our company's reputation." The management team nodded in agreement, and we began discussing strategies to resolve the situation. Company lawyers joined the meeting, providing advice on legal steps we could take.

He looked at me deeply, his loving eyes making me feel like the luckiest person in the world. "What is it?" I asked softly, almost whispering, while my heart was full of hope and happiness.

    Kate's POV I stepped out of the office, the cool night air touching my skin as I walked to the car. The thought of having dinner with my father tonight made my steps feel heavier. Over the past few months, our relationship has begun to improve after the previous tension. My father, who was initially so against my relationship with Erlan, had slowly begun to soften. However, for some reason, something felt different. My father, who used to be stiff and rarely showed his emotions, was now more attentive. He often invited me to dinner, talking about little things that had never been a topic of conversation before. Although I was happy with this change, there was still a little worry that was bothering me. Was this a sign that he had finally accepted my relationship with Erlan? Or maybe there was something else he was hiding? I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself before finally deciding to leave. The restaurant my father had chosen was located near his house, so I decided to stop

    Kate’s POV I sat on my bed, letting the reality of this message sink in completely. All the loneliness, all the patience, it was all about to pay off. It felt like a dream come true, a dream I had been waiting for so long. In a rush of enthusiasm, I typed a reply quickly, trying to channel all the feelings that were pressing to come out. [I'm so happy to hear that, Erlan! I can't wait to see you. I miss you too, and I'll be waiting with great enthusiasm. See you in a week, honey.] After sending the message, I smiled widely. The thought of the coming week began to fill my mind—the thought of the two of us walking together, having a romantic dinner, and all the warm conversations I had missed. Just imagining it made me feel happy. I stared at the ceiling of my room while hugging my pillow tightly, imagining the moment when I could finally hug Erlan again, feeling his warmth and calmness that I had only been able to feel from afar. This happy feeling was like sunlight shining on my

    Kate’s POV He was tall and dignified, wearing a formal suit that fit him well. From the way he approached me, I could feel the intensity behind his smile. "Kate," he called out in a familiar tone, even though I didn't know him. "I wanted to congratulate you on the success of your project. I've long admired your hard work." I nodded and smiled politely. "Thank you. It means a lot to me." "Not only is your hard work admirable, but also the way you deal with challenges," he continued. "I see you at events like this all the time, and you always seem so strong and independent. Do you always come alone?" The question sounded innocent, but there was something about the way he said it that made me feel a little uneasy. "Yeah, I usually come alone. But I'm not really alone," I answered cautiously. The man smiled wider, his eyes shining with obvious interest. "You know, Kate, I've been watching you for the past two years. And I've never seen you with anyone. I couldn't help but ask..

    Kate’s POV It’s been two years since that painful goodbye at the airport. Back then, I never imagined how my days would change. But here I am, standing at the grand opening party of a project I’ve worked so hard on. I can feel the admiring gazes of the guests, some of whom are warmly congratulating me, and others even offering to work with me on my next project. The long black dress I’m wearing tonight makes me feel elegant and dignified. I stand tall, looking around the room filled with entrepreneurs, investors, and colleagues who have all come to celebrate this success. But beneath the glitter and the praise, there’s a deep sense of relief. Not just because the project went perfectly, but because I’ve proven something to myself—that I can do it, that I can stand tall even when the world seems to be falling apart. I remember the long nights of hard work, the times when exhaustion almost overwhelmed me. But now, it all feels worth it. I’ve accomplished something greater than I e

Farewell, and may everything go well for you there.” As the time for the plane to depart grew closer, we stood there, hugging each other tightly. I felt a deep emptiness and sadness as I watched him prepare to leave. Every second felt like time was ticking away, and it felt like all the happiness that had ever existed was shrinking into deep sadness. “What about the two of us?” I asked, trying to distract myself from my sadness. “What are our plans after you leave?” Erlan smiled softly, though his eyes were filled with pain. “We will continue to communicate well. I will try to come home whenever I have the chance. We will continue to support and encourage each other. I am sure we will get through this.” We talked about our plans and tried to cheer each other up. We tried to keep our spirits up even though we were feeling so heavy. Erlan kept wiping a

Doesn’t that mean we have to have a long-distance relationship?”Erlan nodded, seemingly undeterred by the challenges that might come. “Yes, I am. I know this is not an easy decision, and there will definitely be many challenges. But I believe that if I accept this offer and prove myself abroad, it will give us great advantages in the future.”“Do you really want to do this?” I asked, my voice shaking slightly with emotion. “Are you ready to face all those challenges?”Erlan smiled softly, then took my hand. “Kate, I don’t just want to prove myself to your father.
