Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: Realization.

After a while of not being able to contact and work. David starts realizing that he is attached to Khatoon. Whenever he was stressed or down he always thought about Khatoon and wanted to talk to her. The fact that he hadn't talked to her also made him anxious. All the emotions and. Thoughts that were piled up during the work period came to David suddenly after he finished the work, and everything started going as usual. But, as it all came suddenly, for David it felt like a sudden flood that hadn't been predicted that would occur. As such he was confused as to what it was or what should he do or even what was wrong with him. After a while of thinking about it, he decided to take advice from Johan. But, seeing his situation he puts it on hold. But to his surprise, his situation and confusion were getting more serious. Eventually one day he decides to talk with Johan about it.

In the office:

Hey Johan, can we talk about something?

Yes, what is it?

It is private so how about we finish work soon and head home sooner to talk about it?

That's great. I also have something to tell you about.

Okay, then it's set.

Let's get out at 8. How does that sound?

It's perfect. How about we go to a restaurant?

Okay, you book a table wherever you want then.

I will, bye for now.

Bye. See you later.

After work, both of them go to a restaurant and after ordering David starts talking:

Let me be direct about it then.

Johan interrupts David's talk and asks:

Sorry for interrupting. But is it related to you and Khatoon?

David looking with a shocked expression says: yes it is.

Then Johan continued: let me finish talking about my situation fast so that we can have a long chat about it.

Okay, you go first then.

So, remember how I suddenly got busy last month?

Yes, you said you would talk about it some other time.

Then Johan continued explaining what had happened. About his father's sickness and how he had to work at the family company and do the tasks. After hearing everything David gets angry and asks:

Why did you not tell me about it until now?

Because I didn't want to make you worry more.

But what would father think? I didn't even meet him in the hospital.

Although you have a point. I told him that I didn't inform you of his situation due to some circumstances and he said that it's okay. you just have to meet him when you can. Because he misses you.

Okay, I will visit father tomorrow. But don't hide these things from now on.

Johan makes a smile and says: I will see about it.

Do you never think about trying to change your attitude and behavior?

No, why should I?

See, this is why you have stayed single all over your life.

Johan puts his hand on his chest.

That hurts. You don't have to be that mean.

Truth is always bitter.

Okay, now you know it all. What is the situation you were going to talk about?

Well, now I don't feel you like telling either.

Really?

Damn it, I can't keep it to myself. I need your help.

I know, now tell me.

Just remember I will have my revenge one day.

Yeah, try it, boy.

The situation is like this…

David starts talking about the details of his situation how he is been feeling and the fact that he is feeling something that he can't describe. After David finishes talking Johan looks at him with a surprised look and asks:

Are you sure you have dated anyone your whole life?

Why suddenly ask this?

Because you don't know about dating at all.

What do you mean I don't know about dating?

I mean you have never experienced love.

I see, so you mean what I am feeling now is love.

I can't be sure about it. But from the way you explained it, I came to that suggestion.

Do you mean it can be something else besides love?

Yes, there are a lot of emotions that may be explained the same way, but they feel differently for the person who has them. For example, if you say my body starts trembling and shaking when I see someone and I can't think properly. I may suggest that the person makes you angry. But the real reason can be different. You may get nervous, anxious, or terrified of that person. Because the things that you described all match different situations, but you know how you feel. I said you know nothing about love because while you said how you react you don't know what you are feeling. That means if it is love then as you don't know how you feel it means you have never felt love before. It is also possible that it's not love but attachment or habit. Because you have talked to her a lot you are feeling attached, so separation is problematic for you. Or, since talking to her has become a habit if you don't talk to her it bothers you and you always think about her.

This got more complicated. So how do I know that?

You have to think about that yourself because I have never experienced romance I can't give you an answer. But try figuring it out faster before you start regretting it.

I see. I will do my best then.

That's good.

After that, they continue eating and after finishing their dinner they go home. At home, David searches for it. But, whenever he sees an answer he remembers what Johan told him about intertwined emotions and their signs. After a while, he concludes that he should find a way himself.
