Chereads / Forbidden Romance: At Death's Door / Chapter 23 - Tarot cards

Chapter 23 - Tarot cards

The magic stall was a small stall erected inside the mall just by the staircase. In the stall were all kinds of objects which, some originated from generations and could be traced back to their ancestry. Some of the objects are things that were used to sustain relationships like the magic ring which is believed to break barriers and make even enemies fall in love.

A lot of people had gathered around the stall because the man was doing discounted sales on all the items and were sold to women alone.

''Whoa, there are a lot of beautiful things. Ozge, pick one of the items. He only sells it to women''

''No, I'm not interested'' Ozge looked at the items with a bored expression.

''Young lady, you have a rather strong spirit attached to you'' the woman next to the man behind the stall suddenly said to Ozge.

''Huh? Me?'' Ozge turned to look at the side.

''Yes. You are a Leo, right? You were born just right in the middle of the auspicious moment. There is a strong spirit lurking around you''

''What do you mean?'' Ozge asked. At this point, a lot of people were also looking at them interestingly.

''Somethings, I cannot say it in front of a lot of people. You should come with me. I will read your astronomy for you and tell you what to do''

''No need''

''Don't brush this off, young lady. Tell me, did a man and a child suddenly appear in your life? They are from your past…''

Ozge's mind started giving her red flags so she held the woman's hand and turned to the others, ''guys, you can leave without me. I want to ask her a few questions first''

Ferit looked at Ozge with knitted brows but didn't say anything. The man and the child in question was definitely about him and his daughter. He was also curious to know what the woman has to say but he knew it was better not to push it at this point.

''Ma'am, let's go'' Ozge pulled the woman away towards her stall.

''Which man and child was the woman speaking about? Does Ozge have a child somewhere or is she going after a man with a child?'' Andy asked, feeling confused.

''You two can leave first. I will wait here and then leave with Ozge since we are staying in the same hotel''

''I will wait with you'' Hassan said.

''Hassan, I didn't bring a car. You have to send me first'' Andy reminded Hassan who didn't look pleased at all.

''There is no need for two people to wait for her''

''He is right. You can still talk to Ozge later on tomorrow. Or better still, call her. You took her number''

''Let's go'' Hassan gave Ferit a meaningful gaze before leaving the place with Andy.

….

''Ma'am, how can you say such words in front of so many people? What if someone misunderstands?'' Ozge asked the woman when they entered into the small store.

''You have a long way to go with life. You went to prison recently, right?''

''How did you know about that?''

''I am a seer but a lot of people call me an astrologer. The moment I saw you, I saw the entanglement around you. Three men and one woman want your love. Your past and present will soon crash and all the secrets that you try to hide will spiral out of control. You should be careful. Something important is about to happen to you''

''Can you speak more clearly?''

''Your ex-boyfriend still cares about you. Two of the men outside with you are interested in you. You need to be careful. One of them is extremely dangerous and a little mistake on your part will turn that love into hatred''

''Can you really see those things?'' Ozge still had doubts about the woman.

''Pick five of these cards'' the woman said and laid down the cards on the table.

Ozge hesitated before picking the first card in the middle, the third card from the right, the fourth card from the left and then two cards from the middle.

The woman revealed the cards and cleared the table. She placed the cards on the table in front of Ozge and sighed.

''The Fool…'' the woman smiled and looked at Ozge.

''What does it mean?''

''You will soon be facing a life changing moment. When that happens, you will be able to finally embrace your journey and throw out all the things that are holding you back. You have a lot of doubts about a certain someone and it's because of an accident that happened a long time ago. But that accident was a way to bring you two together. You two were bound to meet and there would have been a lot of instances that would have still brought you two close. Also, a spirit being is trying to tie you two together''

Picking the second card the woman frowned, ''The High Priestess… there is a huge secret that is being kept from you. What you think you know about a particular situation isn't all there is to it. You will have to start looking at things from a different view. Perhaps, the person who gave you a particular information about something didn't tell you all that you needed to know. Hence, you are always careful of yourself, of the future and the decision that you will take. You have lost a lot of loved ones before. Therefore, you are careful not to act in a way that will put them in danger''

Ozge looked at the woman and clasped her hands. She knew the things she was keeping to herself well. She also knew that whatever she knew isn't entirely all that is to it.

''I see a strong feminine energy surrounding you, Ozge. There is a woman who is extremely dangerous. You two have met before yet you don't know much about her because she is the one calling the shots. She is the real person that you fear and the actual reason why you are not attacking the people who are forcing their thoughts on you, right?''

''That's enough! I should get going now'' Ozge stood up and the woman asked.

''Did he make a promise to you?''

Ozge turned and looked at the woman.

''The man outside. He made a promise to you, right? Don't take his words lightly. He knows more than you give him credit for and he is serious with his words''

''Huh?''

''This card is the lovers' card. What this card means it's that, you should follow whatever pulls your heartstrings. It will come to a time you will have to take a stand. Right now, you don't really have a stand. You just want to go with the flow but you can't do that for long. You will need to make a decision and that decision will determine how your love life and career will evolve''

The woman looked at the two cards left and spoke, ''since you are in a hurry, I will tell you what these two means. The devil card. This isn't a welcoming card. You are keeping a lot of anger, bitterness inside you. You sometimes blame God for everything that is happening to you. From a cheerful girl to a dark moody woman with zero ambitions. Someone is using a secret to manipulate you and it's weighing you down, right? If you don't fight back, this will gradually eat you up and turn you into a person you would hate.

But there is the Star to see you through. You've recently met a lot of people from your past. These people will become important to you. In fact, they have already begun to be a part of your life. They will bring you peace and serenity. They are the ones who will never depart again once they've accepted you. You should open up to them, Ozge''

''How much for the reading?'' Ozge asked as she opened her bag.

''It's free. If you really want to pay me back, then make sure you come back here when you and that man finally gets together. And by the way, you two will kiss before the night end''

''Huh? How…?''

''You will see…''

Ozge shook her head and stood up with her bag. She walked out of the place and saw Ferit standing at a distance. He was holding the bag that contained the shoes he had bought for her.

''Let's go'' Ozge said when she walked to him.

''Are you done?''

''Mm''

''I called the driver to come and pick us. He is outside''

''Okay''

Ferit looked at Ozge silently. He felt that she was acting strange but he didn't say anything. They both walked out of the place and got into the car.

….

Ferit got down first and waited for Ozge when they arrived at the hotel. When they entered inside, they saw Demit at a distance. She seemed to be waiting anxiously for them.

''Ferit… where did you people go to? I went to the night market and searched but I didn't find you'' Demit asked.
