yildiz was taking her baby to his first month check up, she was driving since Sam wasn't around to drive her, besides, she too needed some space away from him, she felt their relationship is overwhelming for her, everything is moving fast, Sam wants to introduce her to the whole family, her child is still young and she feels like they will judge her, who dates a pregnant woman, or which pregnant woman dates a man she barely knew, her mind was occupied with thoughts when the baby suddenly started crying, she parked on the side of the road to check on her baby, she fed him but he couldn't stop crying, she then just had to drive until the chemist to see what is wrong with the baby.
according to the nurse, there was nothing wrong, but the child couldn't stop crying, so yildiz drove to the traditional healer
"what brings you here?" he asked
"I'm sorry to come unannounced but my child doesn't want to stop crying" yildiz said in a panicked voice
"come in" the healer led her to the hut, he threw the bones down then started enchanting
"there's a certain man that is demanding the child to enter the kingdom" he then paused to look at yildiz "my girl, why are you still here?" he asked
"I can't go back, they will kill me if I do, they will kill my son" yildiz said then the healer shaked dramatically
"they will, but your son needs to enter his kraal, his kingdom is waiting for him, you made a promise" the healer said
"yes, but that promise is to send him to his kingdom when he's much older and could take care of himself, I can't risk taking him there" yildiz said
"I hear you, but I demand to feel my grandson's presence just once in my kraal" the healer said those words in a rather different accent, and different voice, like he was someone else
yildiz cried all the way home, Roman wasn't crying anymore, but yildiz knew it's only a matter of time before he starts again.
two days later Sam came back, he took yildoz to his home to introduce her to his parents and siblings officially, she had to take the baby along.
they sat on the table and got served, they are a very wealthy family.
"so this is yildiz, the lady I've been telling you about" Sam said
they all just paused and looked at yildiz who then looked down
"yildiz, why did you leave your country?" Susan asked, her husband pinched her but she wanted to know
"it's a long story, but my life wasn't safe there" yildiz said
"oh, how so?" she asked again
"she said it a long story Susan, besides she can't share that with just anyone, for her own safety" Sam defended her
"so where is the father of your baby?" John asked
"back in my country" yildiz answered
"you.broke up, came here and met my brother and started dating, or you just left and met my brother?" John again
"John?" Sam scolded
"what? dint we deserve to know? I mean you want us to know her right? so ?" John
"yildiz and the father of her child are ..." Sam tried to explain
"don't speak for her" both John and Susan said at the same time
"John I'm here forever, and I'm moving on with my life, without him, that's all I can say" yildiz said
"so my brother is a rebound?" John asked
"no he's not" yildiz answered
"you have healed?" he asked
"I have" yildiz
"is it, so if it happens your baby daddy comes here, will you still continue with my brother?" John asked, all eyes were at yildiz
"I will" thay answer came from her tip 9f her stomach because it was a lie
"liar, I know when someone is lying, she blinked twice before answering that" Susan said
"Susan stop" Sam said
"how did you even afford to by 15 percent of my father's shares?" Susan asked
"I had shares that I sold, so I used that money" yildiz was getting very upset
"how did you get the first shares that you sold?" John asked putting his both hands on his cheeks
"my ex husband gave them to me" yildiz said, this was new information to San, he was surprised but acted cool
"you were married before?" Sam's mother for the first time on the table table spoke
"yes" yildiz said
"how long did your marriage last?" she asked
"2 years, but we dated for two years also" yildiz said
"you couldn't stay married for 5 years, and you moved on and now have a baby for someone and already is dating my son, do you ever give yourself time to heal?" Sam's mom
"mom please" Sam said thay seeing that yildiz wasn't going to respond, she was playing with her fingers.
"Sam I'm just looking out for you, what kind of a girl did you bring to my house, huh? is Sam the only guy you're dating around here?" Sam's mom asked
"I will leave now, thanks for the dinner" yildiz said and went to take her sleeping baby upstairs then went out, Sam followed her
"baby I'm sorry about that, I didn't know they were going to react that way" Sam explained
"it's fine Sam it's not your fault" yildiz said
"let me drive you" Sam offered
when they were still on the way
"why didn't you tell me that you were married before?" Sam asked
"I'm sorry, I just forgot" yildiz said being very honest
"how do you forget that you were married yildiz?" Sam asked
"I don't know, I guess it just slipped my mind" yildiz
"but how? thats not some random relationship, you were married, how long did you take before moving on?" Sam asked.
"Sam what is your question exactly?" yildiz asked
"just answrr my question" Sam snapped
"well, the guy I was married to is my baby daddy's best friend, I mean was, by that time we dated him and I were over and he even got married to some princess, so my marriage ended because my ex husband was abusive, I went back home then got back back him the prince" yildiz tried to explain in a way that won't sound weird.
Sam laughed "so you didn't wait a bit, you just got back with a married man?" Sam asked
"what do you mean?" yildiz asked
"yildiz it's clear you love that prince of yours, how sure am I that you won't dump me for him?" Sam asked.
"I wish I can promise you something, but I can't, if you and I are meant to be then we won't ha to break up, we will overcome all the challenges, but if we aren't then eventually this will end" yildiz said shrugging
Sam just nodded "I'll call you" he said, yildiz got out and walked in the yard.
she told her mother about the distarous dinner.
the following day Sam didn't call yildiz, he was very concerned about his place in yildiz's life, his family made it clear that they don't want yildiz, he wanted to fight for her, but he wasn't sure if that will be worth, he was conflicted.
yildiz called him several times but he didn't pick up, as if the stress wasn't enough, his father didn't want yildiz as a partner anymore, so he told Sam to buy her shares.
after a few days of Sam ignoring yildiz, he finally went to her house.
"Sam?" tildiz said
"hi" he was tense
"come in" yildiz
"thanks" he got in and sat on the couch
"anything to drink?" yildiz
"nothing, please sit" Sam said
"you look down, what's wrong?" yildiz
"I have news, I don't know ifnits bad or good, but my father want to buy back your shares, or you could sell them to me" Sam said
yildiz kept quiet for almost five minutes "10 million" she said finally, Sam coughed
"what?" he was shocked
"ten million for the shares sam" yildiz said
"fine, I'll need a few weeks or a month, is that okay with you?" he asked
"do I have a choice?" yildiz asked, Sam nodded and stood up
"that's all you came here for?" yildoz asked
"yes, what else?" Sam asked
"what do you mean what else, I tried calling you and you ignored my calls, so care to explain why?" yildiz was semi shouting
"my ears are working perfectly yildiz no need to yell, and I need time to think, I don't want to find myself in a situation where I'll have to choose between you and my family, so I need time to think" Sam said
"it's fine Sam, let me make things easier for you then, because I know your family hates me, and obviously they will never support this relationship, let's end it, I too don't want you caught up in between, your family has always been there for you, I'm just a woman that has only a few seconds in your life, don't compromise for me." yildiz said ope ing the door for him
"I said I needed time to think, why are you making decisions already?" Sam asked annoyed
"I'm making this easy for you, you don't have to think about anything concerning this relationship anymore because it's over, done, buried and forgotten" yildiz said
"is thay what you want?" Sam asked
"that's the best decision I wouldn have ever made in my life" yildiz said out of anger
"okay fine m, but for what is worth, I love you, and I would have loved to start something with you" Sam said
"yet you ignore my calls" yildiz
"we are going back and forth, let's have dinner later today to talk" Sam said
"no, goodbye" yildiz then tried to close the door but Sam blocked it
"do you love me?" Sam asked
"I do" yildiz
"then stop acting like you don't we are not kids anymore yildiz, we both know what we want, but you should understand that for me it will be a very big sacrifice to make, and I want to know if it's worth it, so hence I said I need time, can you give me that?" Sam asked, yildiz nodded, they kissed and he left.
