"you are making so much progress prince Randy, your parents will be very pleased to hear the news, would you like to meet them now ?" the nurse asked, Randy doesn't want his parents to visit him.
"what's your name?" he asked
"Pamela" she said
"Pamela please don't tell my parents about my progress, if they ask, just tell them there aren't any changes, in fact I'm getting worse, okay?" Randy asked
"but I can't do that, what if someone else tells them the truth?" Pamela said
"okay I hear you, but don't tell them about my progress if they don't ask, especially now, please" Randy
"okay, tell me, we're you really mad or you were just kidding because you look completely different from the person that walked in here a few months back with beard that can mop the floor" Pamela joked, Randy didn't find that funny but he just laughed it out
"well, I wasn't mad, just depressed, but I'm okay now and I'm starting to notice people around me, I see you" Randy said thay then winked, Pamela blushed and walked away.
Randy started drawing up plans to look for yildoz and his son, he thought of all the places yildiz ever wanted to go locally and abroad, his mind was occupied he didn't even notice a lady standing in front of him
"too busy?" she asked
"not at all, how can I help you?" Randy
"can I sit?" she asked
"please" Randy
sue sat and took out a pen and a jotter
"I'm your new psychologist, since it's been reported that you're making a very impressive progress, I'd like to get to know you" She said
"sorry what's your name?" Randy asked
"miss Black" she said "what's yours?" she added
"miss Black, I'm sorry to burst your bubble but I'd like to continue with my old psychologist, I hate change, I hate new" Randy
"but you can't choose" she said
"then I guess you and I won't be talking at all, have a nice rest" Randy said continuing with his plans.
....
Sam realized that he hasn't been treating yildiz fairly, he just had too much to take in, but he finally grew some balls to take charge of his life and treat yildiz as the queen she is. they had a date for lunch today, that's where he's heading playing soft music , clearance Carter, 'I got caught making love', he sang along he was in a better mood.
yildiz was sitting there waiting for him, he hugged and kissed her which came as a surprise to yildiz who have already lost home in him.
"someone looks happy" yildiz said
"I am, I'm happy to see you, to be here with you, I've missed this" he said
"well..." yildiz
"I have decided to bring the a game, there's a lot that held me back that I needed to digest but I think I'm set now..." as he was saying, Susan worh her friend whom happen to be Sam's ex girlfriend appeared, they saw them and went to their table
"hi brother?" Susan said looking at yildiz nasty
"susan" Sam said clearing his throat.
"I see you chose your floozy" Susan said
"yes I have, her name is yildiz not floozy, and I love her, so swallow it or don't I don't care" Sam said
"what, Sam chosong a girl over family, thays first" the other girl said, she clapped her hands once
"girl, not just any girl, a foreigner" Susan said
"you don't say, wow, Sam I'm very disappointed in you" the girl said laughing "it was better when you were still with your ex wife because then your family still meant everything, so her, what's up man, what's with foreigners?" the other girl, Sam looked down, they said all the nasty stuff but eventually got tires since yildiz wasn't responding, after they have left.
"ex wife?" yildoz asked
"I was going to tell you, today, just before they walked in" Sam said
"tell me what?" yildiz
"that I was married, I have three kids with my ex wife" Sam said
"that's nice, where is she?" yildiz
"USA, she got a job offer there, one she couldn't refuse and she took the kids with her" Sam explained
"how old are the kids?" yildiz
"first born is 10, second one is 7 then third is 5" Sam said, yildiz shrieked her forehead
"exactly how long have you been married to her?" she asked
"well I met her in Turkey when I was there for a job opportunity, I stayed for 2 years, so we had our first son in the first few months of my stay, then she came here when our son was 2, that was when I left for only a year or less, then we had our she got pregnant again, so I married her, then had our third, a girl, then when she was turning 3 she left, so basically we dated 6 years, married for 3 years and got divorced" Sam said.
"wow, so do you have access to your kids?" yildiz asked
"I do, we Skype, I visit them once a year, or twice if possible" he said
"that's better, so she's from turkey?" yildiz asked
"yep, she's white, and my family treated her just the way they're treating you" Sam said.
"in my case I understand that they are trying to protect you, to prevent what happened with her to happen again, you know, one can never be too sure about their future, no matter how much you plan, it never goes according to our plans" yildiz said
"I know, that's why I haven't been present, but yildoz I love you, and I can't let what happened between my ex and I rob ke the opportunity to be happy again, because girl you make me happy" Sam said
"are you sure this is what you want Sam?" yildoz asked
"I'm certain" he said and kissed yildiz's hands.
"okay then, but please, from now onwards no more secrets, we need to be upfront with each other" yiodiz said.
"definitely" Sam said, they ate their food
"my brother tells me you have quit your job, why?" Sam asked
" I want to start a business, something thays mine, I'm building a legacy for my son." yildiz
"that's awesome, how's Raman though?" they had a light conversation and laughter, it was a happy day.
...
"why can't your family find out that you are better?" the psychologist asked
"because they are the reason I'm here, it's better for them to think I'm worse than better" Randy answered
"that will be all for today" she said closing her book.
"before you leave, can u ask you a very personal questions?" Randy
"go ahead" she permitted
"are you married?" Randy
"no, why?" she asked
"because I like you, would you go out with me sometimes?" Randy
"you're here, how?" she asked
"so you would if I wasn't here?" Randy
"well I'd consider it" she said
"okay, you don't mind the fact that I was diagnosed crazy ?" Randy
"but u know you were not" her
"wow, wonderful. then we have a date, I'll tell you when and where, soon enough" Randy said, she just smiled.
"I'll wait" she said going out.
Pamela came
"what was that?" she asked
"what my lady?" Randy said
"you guys seemed to have been talking about something thats not related to work" Pamela
"hell no, never, what would we be talking about?" Randy
"good, because I'm jealous" Pamela
"really, care to tell me why?" Randy
"i like you" Pamela
"a mad man?" He asked
"says who?" Pamela
"wow, I'm flattered Pamela, but unfortunately you and I can never pursue any relation since I'm locked in here" Randy
"you will be out soon, you are coming alright" Pamela
"unless you help me out?" Randy testing the waters
Pamela looked around and "you're very sneaky, but I can't pull that one out without the securities, and for their help I will need a lot of cash" Pamela
"but you know I have money, once I'm out then I'll sort you out, and you'll be my girlfriend" Randy sounding desperate
"let me get back to you tomorrow" Pamela walked away.
Randy is trying to play a very dangerous game, she will either get help from the nurse or the psychologist.
