Roman went to Afet to apologize again.
"you know when I was about ten or eleven years, my father cheated on mom, I thought it was the first time and begged mom not to divorce him on his behalf, only to find out that he's been unfaithful their entire marriage, and worst of all, he makes it to the news every time he cheats, I swore to never hurt the woman I love like that, I swore, but my mistake is allowing temptation to overpower me, I'm weak, but I promise you that non of the girls I've slept with have a place in my heart, non, you are the only girl I love afet, we've been together long enough to know I can't live without you, I don't want you to be my girlfriend anymore, I want you to be my wife, I'll change for you, I swear I will, marry me afet" he said kneeled down in one knee
"where is the ring?" Afet asked
"just say yes and you'll get more than just a ring" Roman said
"I won't hesitate to leave you, and I'll make sure to leave you poor if you dare cheat on me again" Afet said
"is that a yes?" Roman smiling
"yes" Afet, thy hugged, Roman carried her to the bedroom, with that there's going to be a wedding soon.
the seer knocked on the door, Randy went to open for him
"come in, sorry you had to come all the way, we were still waiting for Roman" Randy said, the seer told them to come but since Roman is not around they didn't.
"I'm here now, call your wife" he said, Randy went to take yildiz and they came down together.
"well since the two of you are here, I'm here warn you, there's a dark cloud coming in your house, soon, you will buy an animal that will turn against you, it will scavenge you, the animal will dine with you, sleep with you, and will kill you, all of you" he said looking at his palms as if reading them
"we will buy an animal? can you be more clearer ?" Randy asked
"my king, there's one and only princess in his entire world, she's the only one, and you'll only find her when your animal has killed her or trying to kill her, bear in mind, you will buy that animal" the seer said
"can we prevent that?" yildiz asked
"can you?" the seer also asked
"tell us what to do?" Randy asked
"open your eyes, that's the only way you will be able to prevent the animal to kill you, don't sleep," he said then left.
an hour later later Roman came home so happy
"she said yes" he told his parents, they looked at each other
"son I think you need to see the seer, he came here earlier looking for you" his father said
"okay, let me go there now, are you coming?" he asked and they didn't wait for him to ask again, they followed him to the hut
"my prince, the noble prince 8f the groblersdal kingdom, the kingdom so great, the lion himself, great warthog, sit down my prince" the seer said
"what's with all the praises?" Roman asked
"your great grandfather, your guardian angel, is the one praising you, he's so sorry you will go through what you're about to go through, you knew so fast, in his eyes he still sees you as a baby, but he wants you to know that he'll protect you, always, my prince, the journey you're about to embark is not going to be easy, you have heard your first warning today, you ignored it, your heart us settling in a very dangerous and dark place, your pure heart will be contaminated, soon the blood that flows will be the blood drained out of your heart, I'm sorry, my prince, the gods will be with you" he then showed them the door, they were all so confused
"dad does he mean I'll die ?" Roman asked
"I don't think so, maybe you'll get hurt" he said but he also understood the way Roman did, he just didn't want to scare him
"gosh I wish he can just be straight up to the point and stop with his idioms" Roman was frustrated
"so you said Afet agreed to be your wife?" yildiz asked
"yes, we need to plan the wedding, we will fly his parents down here, I want to get this over and done with" he wasn't as excited as he came here earlier
"don't get me wrong, you're just twenty years, are you sure this is what you want to do?" his mother asked
"I am" he said
they both just looked at him and decided to keep quiet.
"you know I don't think this marriage will work, your son is marrying for all the wrong reasons, to keep a girl, he's young, that's his first love, and there's no rush, and again the seer" yildiz said in her sleepy voice
"you're not making sense but I hear you, the worst part is that we can't warn him, he'll hate us" Randy said, yildiz was already sleeping.
she saw Roman in her dreams, she was covered with blood, he kept running, running, he fell then a shadow appeared, a woman's shadow, carrying a very small bottle, Roman covered his mouth but the hand of that woman forced him to open his mouth, the hand was so powerful that Roman opened his mouth, then she fed him from that bottle, then then the shadow wasn't a shadow anymore, it was a woman, an Indian woman, she became so clear, with a.very long beautiful hair, long nails, even on her toes, then Roman became a shadow, the laughter of that woman was evil, yildiz kept panting and crying until Randy shook her, she told him about the dream, they woke up and went to the seer
"what you saw, is just a tip of what is really going on, a lot is going to happen, a lot in a year" the seer then went back inside his hut and locked, they went back inside, they couldn't sleep anymore.
"I can't believe we're this old" Randy said
"right?, just some time ago we didn't have to wake up at this time to see the seer, Roman is aging us" yildiz said
"I have a bad feeling about this wedding, I'll try to talk to Nathan to do a background check on the girl, we only know the basics about her, and she knows a lot because we have welcomed her here" Randy said
"don't forget Luke, he's going to London in two weeks, he can snoop around too, he's family they'll let him in" yiodiz said
"you're right, I'll call him too in the morning" Randy said
"but she's Turkish right?" yildiz asked
"that's what we know, we don't know her mother that she claims has passed away, what if she's the woman you saw in your dream, all we need to know is the side of her mother's, if it's Indian then we know she's the animal we are going to buy" Randy said
"but Turkish people are mostly mixed, Indians and the other I don't know, they behave like Indians, more modernized Indian without culture, and now her father lives in UK with another woman, an English woman she hates so much, she also refused to fly her father here when she got a job, so she is not a fan of her father as well, it might be because of the woman he married" yildiz said
"or she hates the poor woman because she agreed to be the wife of a man she hates, vise Vesa, this girl has dark secrets, we need to find the truth out." Randy said
they sat there until it was four am, they called Nathan and then Luke, Nathan is going to China with his wife, but promised to send them information as soon as he's able to.
after a week or so, Luke called them and told them that something is really up, but he can't put a finger on what is it exactly.
so he sent them a recording of their conversation with Afet's father
"has your daughter told you we are marrying her?" Luke asked
"she has, we are flying down to South Africa next week, for the wedding" her father
"that's nice, she's going to he the princess" Luke said
"princess? she's marrying a prince? is Roman a prince?" he asked, he looked very surprised and scared
"yes what's wrong?" Luke asked
"I feel very terrible, this marriage will be a disaster" he said
"why, what do you mean?" Luke asked
"no I mean, she, Afet, said she doesn't want my wife to come with me, and I feel bad for leaving her, so I might as well not come" he said
"but you already agreed to fly next week?" Luke
"I'm allowed to change my mind, she'll be fine, it's not like she's alone" he said
"she'll be alone without you, who'll walk her to her husband?" Luke asked
"she'll figure it out, she always does" he said
"your daughter is smart, you gave her education, very expensive education, you can't let her do this alone, you should be proud of her" Luke said
"u cannot afford any fees, I keep hearing people talking about afet and expensive schools and I'm getting confused, I actually became used to hearing odd things about Afet, but the afet a know is not very smart, she would have never made it to any college, or high school, the afet I know, is obviously the afet you out there know, maybe I dont know my daughter, or maybe you don't know my daughter" he said
"but afet said you paid for her fees using her late mom's policies, you did a great job" Luke said
"her late mother? her mother is late?" he asked
"gosh you should know, he's your late wife" Luke was getting frustrated
"I was never married to Afet's mother, her parents were filthy rich and wouldn't allow her to get married to someone like me, we were still in turkey, she was already pregnant then after birth , they brought afet to my home, thy said they don't want her, and no one should know about her, they gave me money to leave the country, and I did, I thought that was going to be a big break for me, I took my daughter and came here with her, when we got here, she suddenly became ill, she suffered from this, to that, we were in and out of the hospital until she went to coma, I've used every cent I got to get her the help she needed, then when she turned 6, she woke up, I went to take her, I heard about an Indian healer in USA, I flew there, we lived there for four years, she spent the rest of the four yes sleeping, almost the whole day, when she was 11, she was completely healed, then we came back here, that's when there were free houses built, I got one then settled, I took her to special schools, because she didn't have primary education and was too old to be accepted, that's the only Afet I know, now people would meet me on the streets and tell me how a wonderful father I am, to take my child to expensive schools when I live here, it's scary" he said
"so you say Afet has no primary education, you're right she would never had made it to varsity, wow, I'm thrilled by this, but the wedding is still on, you need to come" Luke said
"I will, I want to see the Afet you are talking about, I'm certain that's not my Afet, my wife will here in a few minutes, I'll tell her to tell you about Afet, I met my wife in USA, we got married there, she moved here with us, she's the sole provider, I'm a carpenter and its hard to find a job, she's a nurse, the reason why we settled here, is to save money to afford the schools we take Afet to, they are not that expensive but they are demanding, we were surprised when she flew to South Africa, but I want what's best for her, so I let her be, now I call from Roman telling me that Afet is a manager in his company shocked me, and she's got a car, and a house, but she never invited me to visit her, she didn't even call me on her own about this wedding, something is not right" he said
"here's your wife" Luke said
