Chapter Text
'I've almost killed a man to protect my beautiful daughter.' Arzu Soyer said, shifting a bit on rought wooden chair.
Worn-off surface of simple table lied between her and the visitor. The latter was Kaya Demiroz. The last man she hoped to see. The audience room was full of such tables and seats, most of them empty at this late evening hour. Guards kept sharp eye on conduct and order.
Somewhere out of this grim prison her family was waiting with worried sadness. Mrs Sema would worry about the family name, while her son and Arzu's husband was shock-struck that his wife fought so fiercely in defence of a girl they scarely knew. He could be saddened that she is arrested and awaiting a trial despite doing the morally right thing. But Melisa was the one to suffer the most while being afar from Arzu. Melisa, the beautiful princess, the younger daughter and until recently the only acknowledged in heart one.
Somewhere else, perhaps at old Mukaddes' home, there was the last member of her family. Her flesh and bone. The other daughter, the one so perilously close to sharein' her mother's fate. Saved in time, now back under loving care of stiched grandma. She was safe, yet each night had to be full of nightmares.
'You can't threaten me because I'm not afraid of you.' Arzu continued, benting a little over table and pointing one finger in emphasise manner.
'I'll tell Jennet everything. She has the right to know. I'll tell her what bastard you are.' she promised, then straightened her back as if released from heavy burden.
'Javidan, it's not smart. She's gonna hate you.' Kaya said to that, tilting round head. His eyes, dark and small like two beetles, contemplated Arzu for a while.
'I know. I- don't expect her forgivness.' she answered, looking away.
'I don't deserve forgiveness. But she has to know who her mother is.' Arzu admitted plainly.
She rose her eyes at Kaya.
'You know you'll lose her, too. After I tell her what you've done to me... you think she'll still call you a father?'
It was exact hit. Arzu could see it; Kaya gritted his teeth.
'Don't you dare. Javidan, unless you got bored of your other daughter?' he warned angrily.
Simmilar threat has thrown her into his arms once, except he changed the outcome at the time, hoping for something better than scraps of scared unwillingness. This time was different. The woman of his life simply didn't listen.
She grew a bit paler.
'No, you don't dare. If you do anything to Melisa, I'll kill you.' Arzu grew grave serious. 'Go ask the rat at the hospital if I hit hard.' she suggested, then rose up.
'End of the visit.' Arzu Soyer announced and left, accompanied by prison guards. Kaya watched her all the way.
'I've so much trouble with you, Javidan.' he sighted, scraching short beard in impatiently worried gestrue. 'You're worth all that trouble.'
Few days, maybe fortnight at most. This is not much time. Wild and vicious plans were racing in Kaya Demiroz head. He could help the slimy wannabe rapist out of this world while he's still in the hospital. If done subtly, it would send Javidan behind bars for quite long time. Yet prison is no place for women, especially the loved one. Then again he could compromise her in eyes of Soyer family. Everybody hides a dark secret and he knew Javidan's gained under new name. Most likely they'd turn against her then; possibly with exception of Melisa, who should be wisely played with. Alas, this would rather push Javidan towards than away from Jennet.
Indeed, all Javidan's family was worried.
Maybe the workaround is to estrange Jennet with Javidan. He could clearly see the way: tell her that Mrs Arzu Soyer did protect her only to cover up Melisa's involvement in the matter. Yes, this was witty; the most solid lie is built on truth. It would work fine. If not that only temporarly. There was one final thing he could do...
Kaya smiled bitterly at night sky full of stars.
'Javidan, you seem to bring out the best in me.' he murmured.
