Present time...
Sora finally moved from her place thinking about how to face Reyhan. She entered the gate alone and soon Jacob recognized her. She wants to ask him if she can meet Reyhan who is inside but before that, he nodded his head as if telling her you can go inside without any restraint. All the bodyguards were alert but nobody stopped her when she went inside.
She searched for Reyhan in the living room first but he was not there so she went to his room. When she knocked and Reyhan said 'Come in', she was nervous at first but she entered his room.
He thought Krish came inside so when he heard the 'click' sound of the door shut he spoke without turning back.
"I am leaving today, I think they have found my existence. You stay here till I will come back for her, once I will talk to my father about us. It's high time I should talk about Sora to my family. What do you think...?", and turned to see Krish but was shocked when he found who is standing in front of him.
Sora who was staring at him with mixed emotions asked him, "Where are you going?"
Reyhan who was a little shocked takes a few moments before answering calmly, "To my hometown", thinking she does not get what he spoke some time ago.
"Why?", Sora asked again.
"I do have my reasons.", Reyhan mumbled but Sora heard what he said.
'What was I thinking? As if she will stop me. She must be thinking I should leave soon', Reyhan considering himself an idiot for expecting something like this sighed.
He was about to continue to pack his bag by turning, but he heard something that froze him.
"Don't go.", said Sora.
Coming out of the sweet little shock, Reyhan looked at her as if he heard it wrong and gave her a questioning look.
"Stay here and...and manage our company," she answered his unspoken question.
Reyhan stopped packing his stuff and stood facing her as he tucked his hands in his pants pockets.
"Company, huh?" he asked sarcastically.
Sora nodded and looked at him, "When you left last time no one was happy. But actually, the company needs people like you." She was talking about anything but important.
"REALLY?" he spoke as if he was not happy with what she said and wished to hear something else from her.
He wished to hear that she missed him, but her words didn't convey the same thing. She was there to plead with him for what exactly he does not know.
He stared into her blinking eyes as if his sight silently asked her, 'Haven't you missed me? Don't you want me to stay? Can't you say you missed me and want me to stay here with you?'
Sora continued looking at him to know what he would say, but the way he sighed suddenly puzzled her when she heard him,
"First, I would like to know did you hate me for what I have done the last year. Also when I came back the way you behaved with me was fake or real?" Reyhan asked, staring straight into her eyes. It was the time he would like to get the answers to his question.
Sora shook her head slightly and whispered, "No, I don't hate you Reyhan. I never did."
Sora took a pause and said again, "Neither my behavior was real. It was fake", which was audible enough to Reyhan.
A wave of happy emotions enveloped his heart as to how much he liked it when she said it but at that moment he thought he is on cloud nine. If he knew it from the beginning, he would have hugged her tightly, not let her leave.
Reyhan leaned toward her and hugged her tightly. Sora could not say anything and let the guy hug her. Now he was more determined to make her by his side.
Reyhan stepped back, "Give me some time and I will make everything right," he said and she looked at him to know what exactly he meant. 'What's there to make everything right?'
"For now I will leave but when I will be back, I wish my family would accept us so I will tell the entire world about us. No need to wait for more, and no need to pretend..." he said but was interrupted by Sora.
It shocked her. "You can't. Not now."
'Why he is not understanding the condition?' Both were on a different paradigm.
"I sure can and I don't care if anyone accepts it or not. I just care about both of us."
"But listen to me first," she exclaimed.
"Don't worry. Leave it to me," he countered, looking so determined. "Once I am back, everyone will know about us."
"You can't. You just don't leave now as your life is at stake.", Sora spoke in a high tone to let him listen to her and to knock his senses. She was about to drag his ears to her but she controlled.
"What? How do you know?", Reyhan was surprised to know that Sora is aware of the situation.
"Yes. I know everything about you. Especially who you are!", Sora spoke in a calm voice.
'And I am not sure I will ever be with you. At least not now.', Sora was in her thought and calm as Reyhan also seems to be calm.
'But how did she know about me? And why she is so calm? Does she have any idea how dangerous my life is and that's why she is refusing to be with me? Or she is also like me?', Reyhan's mind goes haywire.
