CHAPTER 13: SEA
Even his smile affected me...
I looked at his face and lowered my head. "If you want, I can stay like that too."
He lifted his head and flicked the ash of the cigarette in his hand. He pressed his lips one last time to the cigarette that was about to burn out... He inhaled the smoke and slowly released it through his teeth... right into my face.
"You are like one of those princesses who have no problems at all."
I flinched as he blew the smoke in my face. "Do I look like that to you?"
He threw the cigarette on the ground and crushed it with his foot. "It didn't even take me a day to realize that."
While I thought I was approaching this man from every angle... all I could do was watch myself go back to square one every single time.
As he got into the car, he muttered, "Don't just stand there... let's go to the company."
He closed his own door. I silently listened to his orders and sat in the driver's seat... When I started the car... I realized something. Back when I knew him... he had never even touched a cigarette to his mouth... What had brought him to this state?
...
As I adjusted the mirror to look at him, our eyes met... He looked away and focused on his phone. There was an unrest inside me...
...
While on the road... I was startled by a notification on my phone. I usually didn't check my phone while driving. But since the light was red... I decided to check the message.
Brother Orhan: Where are you... Did you get in the vehicle? Ulaş, do NOT bring Mr. Ender to the Company. Look, do NOT. Do whatever you have to do, but you must not bring him. His uncle is here, probably looking for Ender, they are tearing the place apart... he came with his men... It's impossible for him to come to Mr. Ender's feet easily. Make Mr. Ender disappear for a few days. Do not... do not bring him... don't. Be careful. I am deleting the messages.
Ah, f*ck... what the hell is going on?
"Watch the traffic light, Ulaş."
Startled by Ender's voice, I threw the phone onto the passenger seat and started driving fast. The words were spinning in my head... How... where... what was I going to do with this stubborn man?
While gripping the steering wheel, I didn't neglect to glance at Mr. Ender.
What am I going to do now... F*ck...
"Stop making noise." Is he serious... come on...
"I'm sorry."
...
I had less than half an hour before we arrived at the company... What should I do... How should I handle this...
Suddenly, I turned the steering wheel and swerved in the opposite direction. Since he wasn't looking around much, he wouldn't care where we were going for a while... Okay, my current mission was to keep him away from the company... simply put, away from his uncle. I can do this... it's not hard.
...
Changing cities wouldn't hurt anyone... right?
...
After driving for a while, the surprise of Mr. Ender, who thought it was an inner-city trip, turning into a highway journey... was indescribable.
"Ulaş! I need to go to the company? Where is this?"
I continued without breaking my silence. "Hey, I'm talking to you... where are we going?"
I opened my mouth when he grabbed my shoulder and shook me. "I want to keep you away from the chaos for a while."
He narrowed his eyes and squeezed my shoulder. "Stop talking nonsense... turn back immediately!"
I shook my head in disapproval. "Not right now."
When he took his phone back in his hand... I reached out with my right hand, grabbed the phone, and tossed it into the car's door pocket.
"Oh, f*ck you! Give me the phone... do you realize what you're doing?"
The car was going neither fast nor slow... I couldn't let him distract me by driving too fast, as I needed to calculate Mr. Ender's movements.
"I'm getting out!! Let me out!"
When he moved his hand to the door handle... I locked the doors. "Man, this is literally kidnapping... have you lost your mind??!!"
He was constantly touching things... trying to open the window and such.
"Just for a little while... besides, we know what we're going to do, does it matter where we go?"
He shouted, angry at what I said. "What are you talking about??? Are you crazy?? What 'doing' are you talking about???"
I smiled slightly. "Don't worry... I won't touch you."
He clenched his fist... He didn't seem to have the courage to punch me while touching my shoulder... because the fact that I was driving was putting him in danger too.
"Look... are you obsessed, man... Stop... this car immediately!!"
While I thought I would endure his nagging for a while... A few minutes later, he gave up and leaned his head against the window.
"Obsessed bastard."
I knew he would give up in a short time. That was the reason for my comfort.
...
He crossed his arms over his chest... and looked at me through the mirror. "I didn't think you would go this far just because I gave you the cold shoulder..."
Hmm... he thought I was doing this completely of my own free will. For now, I had no choice but to let him believe this lie.
"I hate people like you." Who cares...
...
We had completely left the city... I decided to take him to the city where we used to know each other... after all, luck comes to a person only once.
...
We had been on the road for a few hours... and he wasn't making a sound. No matter how silent we were, we were hurting each other... I realized this when my feelings for him became definite... that's why I wanted to change it.
"How much do you hate me?"
Pricking up his ears at my question, he turned his head slightly. "I can't find words for my hatred toward you."
Suddenly, I felt like laughing... And I started to laugh. He watched me, his face twisting in disgust. "You really have lost your mind."
I tilted my head slightly, smiled, and looked at him in the mirror. "Believe me, there is no need to make things difficult out of nowhere."
As soon as I finished my sentence... "You are kidnapping me??!! Am I supposed to react normally?"
"Um... it can't exactly be called kidnapping."
He leaned his head back. "What have I gotten myself into..."
We were slowly passing by the seaside...
"In the past... there was a man I liked... really, I liked seeing him so much..."
Mr. Ender rolled down the window on his side.
"Things were so good between us... Every time he smiled... every time he complained, I would just listen to him... I think I fell in love with his expressions in those moments... or I don't know... I just didn't want to leave him for a single moment... You know how they say, 'They take away whatever you love'... that saying always terrified my body."
The silence was broken unexpectedly.
"So... what happened to him now?"
I shrugged... and turned my head toward the sea.
"He died."
