2021-09-06 16:16:32The sensation of the warm water dripping and falling down on my skin is what I needed to quietly think of all that happened. After a few minutes under the shower, Ludmilla’s face flashes in my head. My eyes widen as I realise that she was the one I pushed. Slowly, throughout the whole morning and afternoon, I recalled everything. I stayed in my room on my bed and I’m still, too ashamed of myself to get out. I’ve humiliated myself to such an extent last night that I want to stay under my bed forever. And the worst in all this is that it was Eren who had to control me and I disgraced myself more by kissing him.
I freaking kissed Eren!
And he didn’t kissed me back.
All my feelings for him overthrew me when I was drunk, and I couldn’t resist and think straight.
Great, how will I be able to face him again?
Adios to our friendship.

Eren 18. On the kitchen counter
"We did it." Eren and I cheer, doing a high five after seeing that our pizza has actually turned out into an edible pizza.We have tried to make dinner ourselves tonight. Since making pizza isn't my thing, Eren mostly did all the work.With delicacy, he places the pizza on the table but before he begins slicing it, I snuggle to him, wrapping my hand around his impressive arm."Eren." I say, batting my long eyelashes. It's a trap that he easily falls in. "Can we go to the magic fair which I told you this morning?"He lets go of the pizza wheel and turns his entire attention on me."Do you remember? It was our wish to ride a carousel together when we were kids." I say, trying to convince him by making feel him nostalgic.He raises a brow, folding his arm. Okay, it's not so easy to get him."Please." I beg, claspin

The sun has just set, and the sand is still warm as our feet dig in it. Eren and I are rambling on the beach, hand in hand, appreciating the sound of the waves, and the feel of the chilly breeze. It's getting cold by now as night is falling. Eren was right in telling me to take my jacket. He as usual, has sharpened his badboy's style by putting on his thick black leather jacket.I spent the last two weeks dating Eren and it was the best two weeks in my life. We often went to the Citadel where he was sure I wouldn't be in danger. At night we would cuddle while watching the Vampire Diaries and he sometimes made our dinner a candle light dinner one. We have decided to tell my father about us when he will return home.My feeling for Eren has grown stronger, something that I've never felt before. He makes me feel different every time I look into his eyes. He does something extraordinary to my body everytime he touches me and I can't lie.&

After parking the bike, Eren and I finally enter the house, leaving trail of water all on our way.“The one who reaches the bathroom first showers first!” I scream excitedly and rapidly begin to run towards the stairs.“Woh, woh, woh.” Eren calls.I immediately stop and look at him with squint eyes, suspicioning it’s a trap so that he can go first.“Why don’t we bath together?” He asks casually, pushing his wet hair back. My heart skips a beat.Is he serious?Heat rushes to my cheeks, my heart beating fast. I don’t know what to say. My voice is stuck in my throat. I’ve not yet thought of our relationship at this level.I breathe in deeply. “Eren…” I trail off nervously.He looks at me with narrowed eyes for a few

I apply some concealer under my eyes, trying to hide my dark circles which are so visible as I'm looking at myself in the mirror. I've barely slept last night. I stared at the ceiling, thinking of all that happened. I was expecting Eren to come and apologise but he never came. How can he do that to me? Why? What happened to him so suddenly? Everything was so perfect. I feel so humiliated and ashamed. I've never been so intimate with a guy in my whole life and when I've finally trusted him and ready to offer myself, he abandoned me suddenly, leaving me with millions of questions in head.After putting on clean clothes, I head downstairs to take breakfast. I need to face Eren and talk to him clearly of what happened yesterday. As I walk down the stairs, I find him sitting on the couch, talking on his phone. His legs are parted with his body leaning forward in a stressed manner."It's the best thing to do I think." I hear him say tensely as he

I pull the blanket over my head, attempting to gain one hour sleep more. A broken heart and a bed, the perfect match. I still can't believe that 'Eren and I' is over. I should have sense it though. It was too perfect to be true. Perfection doesn't last long.Wiping away my tears with my thumb, I squeeze my eyes together and try to fall asleep again. But there is a sudden knock at the door of my room. I frown, peeking my head out from the blanket.It can't be Eren. He broke up with me, he won't be here. Concluding that it must be Madam Tina, I get out of bed and head to the door.I open it and frown on seeing it's actually Eren with a tray of food in his hands."Good mor—"I slam the door on his face.He immediately knocks at the door again. "Can we talk?" My heart melts on hearing his voice. Is he going to apologise? "I brought you breakfast."

Today I woke up early to do some work out. I needed to change my mind and burned all my sadness and fury. As I’m doing some stretchings, my phone suddenly rings. I sigh and quickly pick up the device from the chair. I smile as I see it’s my dear father. He hasn’t called since a week.“Hey daddy.” I say cheerfully on answering.“How are you sweetheart?”Euh.“I-I’m fine.” I lie.“What about you?”“I’m good.” He answers. “I’m coming back next Sunday.”My stomach flips.“Great!” I fake a laugh. I enjoyed living alone with Eren. Not that I don’t miss my father but if he returns, Eren and I will have to pretend that nothing happened between us.“Can you do s

"Those papers belong to Toni, the one who looked after you the night I went to the Citadel. He is your official bodyguard."At his words, I throw his hands away from my face and step back in shocked. I look at the floor and try to catch my breath.No. No. This is not possible!Concerned, Eren quickly comes to me and takes my hand in his. "You need to trust me Hayat." He pleads, caressing my palm with his thumb. "Let me finish please."Completely perturbed, I nod slowly and look in his eyes. They look so sincere. It makes me want to believe him and trust him, but how could he have been pretending all this time?We take a seat on the bed and Eren holds my hands in his. "Hayat..." He starts, rubbing my knuckles. "I know who are the culprits."My heart skips a beat. I stare at Eren with wide eyes as he licks his lips in a stressed manner. "They are my brothers."

“I was the one who did the anonymous calls and sent you the emails.”My mouth hangs open.“What?!” I exclaim, not sure that I heard him correctly.Eren nods guiltily. “It was the only way to make you go to the police station and seek protection.”I shake my head and breathe heavily. Oh god.“It was a fake bank account number by the way.” Eren winks teasingly. I give him a friendly tap on his arm and he chuckles shortly.He then clears his throat, returning back to seriousness. “Toni did in sort to change the name of your assigned bodyguard and replace it with his name. This took time and that was why I didn’t arrive at night as was supposed.” He sucks in his cheek. “I took everything on me. I’m the one who wanted to cover my brothers while trying to make things

Eren 44. A new start
One month later. With a warm, blissful feeling in my chest, I watch Eren as he is applying some birthday cake cream on our son's face, who is then groaning as he is trying to clean the cream from his eyes. Toni is meanwhile recording this scene with his new camera while Troy is sitting on his shoulder, laughing on the birthday boy. Tamarra in on the other hand, distributing small cakes to the guests, stopping by Azure and Ludmilla to talk a bit. Yeah.Unbelievably, Azure and Ludmilla is a thing. I don't know how and where this fire started, but I'm happy that they started afresh with their love life. After all,it's a new start. Blessed, I close my eyes for some seconds and smile gratefully.Thank you so much for this happiness, god. I just wish you were here with us, dad. We miss you so much. "Mommy, mommy!" My thoughts are interrupted when I hear little Eren calling me, heavy
Eren 43. Do you believe me, Hayat?
My nostrils flare at the good smell.What's that- My eyes snap wide. I shot up from the bed and look around the room in confusion. Beside me, little Eren is spread like an octopus, snoring softly. Erden has already woken up.What is he making in the kitchen so early? I tiptoe out of the room so that I don't wake up Eren. After adjusting my hair quickly, I walk downstairs to the kitchen and find the talk brunet in front of the table, his head down as he busies himself by settling the table. "Good morning." I let out in confusion. "You're an early bird today." His head flicks up and a welcoming smile appears on his face at the sight of me. "Hey, good morning." He greets chirpily. He seems unusually happy. "Breakfast is ready!" The table he is gesturing at consists of chocolate pancakes, some French toasts accompanied by a big bowl of cut-off fresh fruits. For the drinks, there are steamy-hot of coffees
Eren 42. Reality is finally better
"I was going crazy, but I didn't show it. I waited for the right moment to execute my plan." My head is throbbing as I keep hearing all what he had endured.Why they did this to him. He didn't deserve this. Eren sighs more determinedly this time. "By the end of the third year, the favorable mission finally came. I was ordered to kill the leader mafia of the enemy gang to which they owed millions. It was to prove them that I was really one of them, to make them proud that we were all of the same blood. But I would never be able to kill someone in my life." My eyes narrowed curiously. "As per my brothers plan, I went there to pretend that I'm returning the leader his money. My brothers were supposed to barged in with weapons behind his men. And at that moment, I should have to bury the knife which I was hiding in him." My heart skips a beat.No, no, no. He didn't do that. Eren smirks proudly which reassures me
Eren 41. Revelations
After our son slept, Eren came back to tell me the story of his disappearance Grabbing some drinks, we go on the roof to have a peaceful discussion. We take a seat on the small bench, facing each other. There is an awkward silence between us which makes me look around, eagerly waiting for him to start. I notice that the sky is of a reddish colour tonight as it's about to rain. It matches the thrilling atmosphere which surrounds Eren's mystery. "Hayat," he calls out softly, breaking the silence. He tries to reach for my hand but I quickly fold my arms, not allowing him to touch me. A part of me just want to hear him with a ray of hope in my heart that the light of the candle is still on for us, to brighten our future together. But another part of me is not sure that I will believe whatever he will tell me. This part of me won't let him fool me. He breathes out defeatedly and clasps his hands together as his legs are spread. "This st
Eren 40. Listen to him
In the afternoon, Eren was authorized to return home. Words can't describe how relieved and happy I'm to have him back home with me. "I'm going to make some soup for you." I say, kissing the top of his forehead. "You don't get out of bed okay?" He nods slightly, hugging tightly his teddy bear. In the kitchen, I begin to peel and cut some vegetables when the doorbell suddenly rings. Surely Tamarra. I quickly wipe my hands in a towel and go to open. "Where is the little prince?" Azure barges in as I open the door followed by Toni. Toni and Tamarra were with me when I brought Eren home. I close the door, my eyes narrowing at Azure. "Why does Toni needs to guard you?" He inhales a sharp breath, rubbing the back of his nape. "We both need to talk to you." I raise a curious brow. He tends me a pack
Eren 39. Your Eren is not leaving you
Eren "Goodbye...Eren." She turns and walks away. I watch her in despair till my vision becomes blurred with tears. She then disappears completely as my eyes are overflooded. It's as if somebody just stabbed me in the heart, rending me paralysed. I can't breath, I can't think, I can't live. My body feels so weak, like my soul just left it. A lump is formed in my throat as I'm about to break into tears. I inhale and exhale several times, searching to control myself but with her gorgeous face in my mind and that of our son, it's unbearable. Succumbing, I fall down on my knees and finally cry my heart out, tears deluding down my cheeks like a waterfall. I punch the ground once, twice, but the pain in my heart is still here. I punch a couple of times more, but I can't get rid of this ache. Like an injured dog, I howl my heart out in the darkness of thi
Eren 38. I'm his father
With tears in my eyes, heart pounding in my chest, I barge in the waiting room of the hospital with Erden by my side. There, Tamara is sitting by Toni, her head resting on his shoulder. Azure is also present, Troy sitting on his lap. They all jerk up from their chair as they notice my presence. Tamarra runs to me, her eyes flooding with tears. She reaches me and immediately throws herself in my arms, bursting into tears. "Hayat, I'm so sorry. Eren was playing with Troy and he fell from the stairs accidentally!" "It's okay Tamarra." I hug her back tightly, holding back my tears. "It's not your fault." She pulls out of the hug, wiping her tears. "What the doctor said till now?" I ask, my hand gently touching her arm. She shuts her eyes briefly. "The doctor said that because of his young age, the impact when he fell caused a head trauma. He can't say anything for sure now.
Eren 37. The beach Spot
After locking my house securely, I slip the key in my pocket and walk to Erden as he is waiting for me on— "On Eren's bike." I burst out without thinking. Great. Your mouth really needs a filter Hayat. He slides up his tinted visor so that I can see the upper part of his face. The street lamps are casting enough light on his eyes for me to notice the sincerity in them. "I thought it would make you happy to ride on your ex-boyfriend's bike after so many years." Feeling ashamed, I bite on my tongue guiltily. "T-Thank you." Erden is just trying to help me. I'm not afraid to start something with him. I know he would make me happy and precisely, Eren. My son loves him so much and I'm sure he will be a good father to him. But I don't know why this is stressing me out. I just don't want to be with him just because he reminds me of Eren, just because he looks like him.
