License

"but?" he asked

" He has no right to mistreat me and do you have any idea what he was talking about?" I said.

"Yeah about engagement that's sick don't rely on that it just temporary" he said.

"So you really don't know?" I took a sigh due to my brain current situation.

" is there's anything I should be aware of?" he asked in a friendly way.

My one hand was on my forehead helping me to get rid of scorching sun from my eyes. And with that eyes, I looked from shoes to all over his eyes. FRIENDLY EYES. And what Morris said ' double personality disorder' what the *

"Never mind forget about it"

"So may I consider that you will not tell henna about my engagement as I'm going to ask her out tomorrow?" he tried to carry on the conversation

"As long as this is a temporary engagement plus you will tell her by yourself my mouth is zipped" I said by pretending to zip my mouth using my right hand.

He laughed at me.

Then he explained me the situation of engagement due to business of his father. It just took a few minutes of explanation and all of my worries about their relationship were gone.

NIGHT AT DORM

Me and henna was dead tired from our double shifts so we were sleeping like hell. Lily was awakened as she always watch some episodes of Korean darama from Netflix. What a addiction.

PHONE BELL RINGED

🔊🔊

"henna it's your phone pick it up" lily stood up from her bed and handed it over to henna. I was also awakened from the sudden sound in this graveyard type of dorm with barely phone bell light.

"What? When? Is she alright?" henna stood up from tension with her one hand over forehead.

I also stood up from my bed to ask her out.

Then the phone hanged up, not hanged up it was fell off from her hands on the carpet.

"Henna tell me is everything alright how's your mom?" I asked worriedly

I can see her eyes pouring out and her hands shaking due to anxiety. Something was wrong. She fell on her knees and started crying as hard as she can.

"Henna please tell me I'm getting worried" lily said to her.

"My mom ! Doctor" then she took a breath between her tears " they said that she might not live as she is on ventilator!" she was covering her face with hands as she was getting totally red. It was 2 in the midnight and nearly morning at the US. Her uncle booked a ticket for her to visit her mom to know about her situation. Lily was packing her essential stuffs that she might need and I was trying to give her comfort as far as I can.

We walked outside our dorm towards the parking lot. We called for taxi but no one was available at this time near our university. She can be late for her flight, she need to reach there as fast as she can.

"Henna I can't let you go alone in this condition" I said worriedly.

" I also wanted to take you guys but it's all about the issue of passports I must reach there till morning"henna said

"But none of the  taxi seems to be around" lily said.

When we were talking I felt vibration of phone in my jeans pocket. I picked it up and luckily it was nick again.

"Sorry to call at this time but we heard scary noises from your dorm!" he was talking about the screaming and crying of henna.

"Nick you have car right? Can you drive us right now at the airport?" I asked right away

"Right now…( then he took a stop as he was watching time)  everything's ok?"

" Nothing is okay please be hurry"

I can't describe how this painful journey towards the airport went. He came right away in his causal shirt and trouser with a cap to cover his hairs. Then he noticed henna condition, he was so wonderstuck to see her like this. He asked me but I delayed his sentence saying that we need to go hurry.

The whole travel went silent. As I was sitting on the front seat, all we can hear is henna crying silently, rubbing her eyes and nose.

After getting her off to her flight, we went back towards the hostel.

As soon as I get in the car he asked about the situation right away.

" her mom is on death bed and she is going to see her last time" I said.

" don't worry about her she seems to be a strong girl " he said to comfort me and lily.

"I guess I was misjudging you Nick" it was lily from behind seat. I can see nick smiling on it.

"That's sound good" he replied.

"It should be" Lily said

As soon as we crossed the airport terminal, we were stopped by bunch of police cars. It is Normal routine in Istanbul to check the cars time to time but it doesn't felt normal to Nick.

"Oh damn it" he said worriedly

"What happened?" I asked

"I have no license!" he said.

"Are you kidding me?" I said shockingly. We were just two cars away from the cops.

"Nick I'm taking my words back" lily said.
