||chapter thirteen||

Cleaning is stressful, I cleaned the entire apartment. I felt all muscles were aching, so I ordered food online with my guest Hania . My food and friend will be here soon, I need a bath before that. I am all sweaty and stinking. I dressed in a loose t-shirt and shorts. Bell rang , who is behind that door? 1) friend2) food with this thought I opened the door to my option one winning here, congratulations to option one, kidding. “Cansu, long time no see” , H ania hugged me and screamed in my ear. She always likes this, hugging and shouting in my ears. “Fine but don’t ruin my eardrums. How about you, Hania? I replied.We took our seats on the balcony's swing. “ I was engaged,” Hania answered. “ Congratulations honey but with whom?” I further added. “ Nick is his name,” she replied . Who Nick , why not Eli? I knew her reason though . It is always good that you ask them their full story behind every decision. “ Cansu, your brother was my crush but Iwant a person who cherished me. Eli is a good person, he will support me always. In life it’s not only about support. Everyday’s life you need a person who supports you and tells you in your bad’s this is wrong, don’t do it . Your brother Eli does not behave like that with me , in his life it’s all about Elena. So, I decided to not choose what my desire wants, I choose what my mind, soul want and definitely what is good for me. I told Eli I want to end our relationship but Eli was not sad to know my decision, rather he was relieved. Because Elena was back in his life. Actually she was always in his mind, he was just trying to forget but failed miserably” Cansu explained to me . Before I could say anything, she excitedly said, “ We can't even imagine what Elena was in that situation. Elena was a cancer patient. She hid her sickness from everyone. She believed that she couldn’t cure so she secretly went to her aunt's house and lived there but her aunt informed Eli about all this. Eli didn’t confront her though. He planned with her that Elena treatment will be continued without knowing Elena. That even possible? No, not. They planned Elena blackmailed, her aunt told her if she continued her treatment , she would help her to hide. Otherwise She will tell everyone a secret.Then, Elena allowed them to continue to do treatment. Eli was so busy with that, he couldn’t react properly in your marriage. Your husband helped them a lot, he financially helped them .Enzo promised them not to tell anyone that Enzo helped them but Eli spilled all the beans to me because I demanded it from him. Let bygones be gones. Elena is all cured and your parents accepted her. They also have a re,marriage , we enjoyed in there”

“OK” I told her and asked also “ How did Nick get the chance to become my brother-in -law?”

Hania in reply giggling, “ Nick is Elena’s cousin. We meet on Eli and Elena’s marriage anniversary. I am telling you he is the biggest flirt I have ever seen but in some way he is careful. He is flirting and at the same time tries also don’t cross his limits. He was so funny. We met in a cafe the next day. Then we arrange more dates to get to know each other. This time I didn’t focus on not only what I want but also what I need as well. I need Nick and I want Nick” Hania finished. “ I am if you are happy, '' I said to her and squeezed in a bear hug. Again the bell rang.This time obviously option two food is here. Hania opened the door and received it. We placed pizza in a plate and pasta in a bowl with cold drinks. I told Hania, let's celebrate her engagement with just the two of us. We played song, danced to them . We are our food and cher's our drink just like kids in “cheers on life and love”. I am happy and carefree after sooo many days.
