Deniz's phone was vibrating continuously during the whole night. Since it was in his jacket's pocket, Deniz couldn't reach the phone and he was in a deep sleep.
In her apartment, Julie was quite busy enjoying both Zara and Noah's photographs. She knew that her friend could go to any extent to reach her goal. So, she didn't need to execute a new plan, so, waited for upcoming drama.
Esmee was at her uncle's office room when Julie called her. Since Esmee couldn't speak in front of Augustin, she disconnected the call and concentrated on Augustin's new project. As in the project, their next year target would make the highest impact on the stock market. So, Augustin planned to make new marketing team for that along with Esmee and Noah. Esmee loved the idea first as she could get time to spend with Noah easily. So, when Noah knocked the conference room door, she was waiting for him.
"Hello Noah!" Esmee greeted him dearly with a hug.
"Hi!" Noah didn't say much. Actually, at the moment he was ashamed of himself because of the party's incident.
"I'm sorry if I made a mistake yesterday." He apologized sincerely.
"No way. We had a casual chat." Esmee replied.
"Let's concentrate on this presentation. We two are going to work together on this." She further added and switched on the projector.
They watched it together and discussed about the project report. Since he was a workaholic person, Noah didn't misuse a single minute of time. Even Esmee was impressed of his vast knowledge and talent.
David went to the hospital as soon after he returned from his business trip. He was quite happy to meet his beloved friend, Emmanuel. When he got to know about Emmanuel from Camillie he couldn't wait for another day to meet him. David called Alice and gave her a list of food items to bring for his friend and went to the hospital directly.
"Emma, I'm David." David hugged him who was lying in the hospital. Emmanuel opened his teary eyes happily.
"David. After a long time."
"I'm sorry I came late. I was not in the city."
"It's fine David. Finally, we met even after our children's marriage."
Both laughed and tightly hugged again.
"It was a wonderful story. They met coincidently like we met in our young days." David started remembering their youth when Alice came in.
"Emma, this is Alice, my secretary." "Alice, this is my friend, Emmanuel."
"I've heard enough of your stories Mr. Emmanuel. You were always in his memory." Alice spoke.
"We really had a wonderful past which was so unforgettable. But I changed my residence after my marriage. So, we missed." Emmanuel completed David's story.
"And destiny made us in-laws." David reminded them. "Do you know Emma, Deniz is very stubborn, but finally he became an adorable husband."
"Zara is efficient for that. Even she changed me."
Since, two friends had lots of things to discuss, Alice left them alone and went back to the office.
Deniz was driving to the studio for a television interview. He stopped at the fuel station on the way and got a call from Esmee. When her name appeared on the display, Deniz was shocked with the amazement. Even he took some time to answer and speak.
"Deniz, did you enjoy the photos?" It was her first sentence.
Deniz couldn't understand her words. It was his most awaited call for months but he didn't know what to express to her. Their love, their beautiful memories, he remembered all those things in a sequence. Even though he loved Zara, he hadn't forgotten his good times with Esmee.
"How are you Esmee?" Deniz raised his voice after few minutes. If Esmee wanted to discuss about Zara, she couldn't say a word and got emotional.
"I didn't call you to have friendly vides. When you have some time, check your inbox. Good bye!" Esmee said hiding her tears. Deniz was sad too. Even after she disconnected the line, he held the phone closer to the ear.
After sometime later, he checked the phone and found the messages of Esmees's. In every and each photograph there were Zara and Noah, holding together. Deniz was furious and sad. Despite all the promises he made with Zara, he wanted to scold her until he feels relaxed. So, Deniz called Julie and asked her to cancel the interview and turned his car to get home. On the way home he got a voice message from Esmee with a caption of 'Noah loves Zara'. That voice was Noah's and he was saying 'I love you Zara' repeatedly. Deniz switched off his phone and put it in the drawer angrily.
Julie phoned Esmee and informed that he cancelled the interview. Esmee was happy to hear that because she knew, their plan was getting succeeded.
Zara was getting ready to go to the hospital when Deniz returned back. He came to the room hurriedly like an arrow and pulled Zara towards him. She was surprised with his unpredictable behavior.
"What happened Deniz?" She asked.
"Where are you going now? To meet your Noah?" Deniz's words were bitter.
"What are saying Deniz? Why are you taking him always between us? I'm going to the hospital."
"You're going to the hospital every day because he comes there right?"
"Deniz, stop talking nonsense. You can't behave, like this. Noah is my friend and that's all." Zara said with teary eyes. Her face had become dull and pale and she was about cry.
"Noah loves you." He angrily said showing his phone.
Seeing their photos, she got shocked than Deniz.
"I told you about this incident Deniz, I just helped Noah that day. I think someone is trying to make problems between us. Please don't get angry looking at these photos." Zara tried to explain, but Deniz interrupted.
"It's not only about photos Zara. I know they were sent to distract me. But, hear this voice message. Noah loves you even after knowing you're married." Deniz increased the volume and let Zara to hear the voice message. Zara didn't have anything to reply. That voice was clearly Noah's and Zara got into a riddle.
"I'm sorry Deniz. I didn't know that. Jade likes him a lot and we three were really great friends since childhood. I'll speak with Noah. Don't think about it deeply."
"No need. You're not going to meet him or speak with him hereafter. Even you can't visit the hospital without me. And send all his projects back. You don't need to work for him either." Deniz proceeded his talk. Zara couldn't speak back, so she heeded silently. Deniz took Zara's phone and blocked Noah's number.
"You can't have any friendship with him again." He said angrily.
"Please Deniz. Don't do that. We can solve this speaking with him right. He has helped me a lot during my bad days. Actually, he wasn't my friend only, he became my family too." Zara pleaded.
"Then you have to choose one. Me or him?" Deniz gave her phone back and left.
Zara was stuck between the love and friendship. Both of them were so precious for Zara that she couldn't choose one. She wanted to phone Noah and clear the misunderstanding. But she was afraid of Deniz's anger. So, finally, she decided to call Alina and share her problem.
Alina listened to Zara well and suggested her to share that with Camillie. Because she was the only person, Deniz obeyed. But Zara was hesitant to do that as she didn't want to exaggerate the situation. Rather than everything else, Zara knew her husband's behavior.
Deniz drove his car to Arnaulds' mansion. When he entered from the gate Camillie and Alina were discussing about him. Despite Zara's insistence Alina had told their fight to Camillie. Camillie was furious with his actions that she didn't want him to be a bad boy again.
"Mom" Deniz embraced Camillie. Camillie didn't show him any difference and hugged him dearly. Alina got up to go inside letting them to chat. But Deniz suggested her to have a family chat with them. Even he wanted to have a supporter like Zara did.
"What do you want to discuss with us?" Alina spoke.
"Actually, Alina, mom, I came here today because we fought." Deniz started his story.
"Did you guys fight again?" Alina asked showing a fake amazement.
Deniz described the incident with the voice messages. He looked violent and wild when he heard Noah's voice. Camillie tried to calm him down and stroked his head.
"When you're angry, you can't find solutions my baby. You should learn to control your anger. You're blaming Zara for nothing. She didn't do anything that made you angry."
"I didn't blame her mom. But I don't like when she talks about Noah. She still wants to talk with him and solve this conflict. But I don't want her to contact him. Even I didn't like him from the beginning, he always looks at Zara with love." Deniz told while looking at their photos. His voice was moody and funereal.
"We can't find solutions with ego Deniz. To have a beautiful marriage, we both should respect each other equally." Camillie said.
"But mom, I don't like her to contact him. I asked her to choose one. Me or him."
"What an impudent talk. Are you mad Deniz? Marriage is not a shackle. Both have even rights. You can't force her to do anything. Noah was her family once. He has helped her and her father. How can she forget all of them and move on with you" Alina also joined to Camillie.
"Yes Deniz. Alina is right. You can't say like that. Let her to speak with Noah and solve the matter. They are just friends. But you're her husband. She doesn't leave your side. We all know how much she loves you." Camillie said.
"If she wanted to leave you, she would have done it earlier. Don't feel insecure. No one can take her from you." Alina said and went in.
Deniz was listening to them silently.
"Let's have something you like." Camillie took him to the kitchen and started preparing some potato snacks. Since it was one of Deniz's favourite, she wanted him to have them. Deniz sat on the table and had an apple.
David came to them after some time finding Camillie and was happy seeing Deniz.
"Deniz when did you come?" David asked.
"Just some time back dad. How are you?"
"Great with the work. But no luck with family life. Your mom is always busy with her sons." David mocked at Camillie. Camillie frowned. Deniz tried to smile hiding his problems.
"David!"
"Why darling?" David kissed her hand. She pushed him away and got back to her work. So, David went towards Deniz and sat beside him.
"Deniz where's Zara?"
"She didn't come dad. I came alone while going to the studio."
"I went to visit Emma. I mean your father in law, Emmanuel. He was very weak now. I think we should send him to Canada. Since your uncle lives there, he can do treatments for him."
David spoke casually. Camillie's one of brothers was a famous neurologist in Canada. So, he just wanted to save his friend from the sufferings.
"You know Deniz, I don't have much friends, because it's really hard to find true friends these days. But Emma is different, he was a great friend and a brother to me. After he left his father's home, I couldn't find him even though I tried a lot. But now, he's here, so I want to save my friend."
"Don't worry dad. He'll be fine. I'll talk with Zara. She says, he's getting better. Even his doctor had told her, he was improving."
"Ok. How is your marriage life? All good?" David asked.
"Going well dad." Deniz replied shortly.
"Marriage is not an easy thing Deniz. Sharing bed is not everything. We have to sacrifice many things and find at least a small reason to be happy at the end of the day." He said.
"Do you know what my reason is? That's your mom's smile." David showed him Camillie's face. Soon after David said that, she smiled lovingly.
Deniz got into thoughts. He also had a reason to cherish. That was Zara. He didn't need anything, except her, in his life.
Deniz came back home in the evening. Zara brought him a cup of coffee soon after he returned. Deniz didn't speak and started drinking his coffee. Even Zara didn't want to dig the past incident and acted normal.
"I'm sorry Zara. I behaved harshly right?" He asked after finishing his coffee. Zara just smiled without uttering.
"I know, Noah is a good friend. But he should know his limits. Please speak with him clearly and solve this problem." Zara nodded her head.
"You're sending all the rough work tomorrow right. So, after that don't take any work. If you really need to do something, you can join our company and have your own salary. But you should keep some distance with Noah. I'm not asking you to forget him. You can keep your friendship but it shouldn't come between us."
"Zara, say something. Are you still angry?" Deniz told again looking at silent Zara.
"I'm sorry Deniz. I'll speak with Noah and I promise, I don't let anyone to come in between us. You can trust me." Zara spoke after sometime.
"I trust you more than myself." Zara clasped him. And their cute badinage started making that long evening worthy.
Julie phoned Esmee to inquire about an update. But neither of them knew nothing. Esmee spoke happily because she felt, her plan was succeeding. And she waited for a hot news that would be highlighted in the social media. But Julie was quite unhappy, not knowing about Zara's miserable story. As she had learnt that Deniz loved Zara immensely, she wasn't confident about their separation.
"Sometimes, they won't separate." She said to Esmee.
"What are you telling Julie? Don't you trust your friend?" Esmee got sad.
"I trust you Esmee. But I trust Deniz more. He loves Zara dearly. And Zara is not that innocent to leave him easily. She will not leave his side like you did."
"You don't know Deniz well. But I know his anger. It's really difficult to control him when he's betrayed." Esmee was quite confident.
"But I think, we should execute a new plan with Noah. Take this as a trial."
"Of course! We can execute many more plans. Noah is on my hand. I told him about their fake sudden marriage. Noah feels sad about Zara. He thinks, he's the reason behind her pitiful life." Esmee said while smiling.
"Good job Esmee. Keep it up. Zara can't have him that easily." Julie was glad about her friend.
They both cursed to Zara and her marriage life with full of hatred. Esmee had reasons at least to do so. But why Julie? She was quite furious and devilish rather than Esmee.
