Stay with me

Chapter 63 - Best Day of Life

Omer, with great care, helped Defne down the ladder to the pier. The belly made her awkward, and she was afraid that she would slip and harm Emine. Omer confidently held her hands and his eyes said: "Don't be afraid! I will never let you fall! "And she believed. She completely trusted in his strong hands, and in a minute she felt solid ground under her feet.

- Hurrah! - She exclaimed with relief. "I got here safe and sound. Allah, almost two months before giving birth. If I'm so big and clumsy now, what will happen next?

- And you are not big at all, - objected Omer and carefully supported his wife by the waist. - You are sweet and beautiful.

- Ay, you just say what I want to hear, - Defne dismissed his words.

"Nothing of the sort," he said patiently, and reminded her, "I hate lies if you remember."

- I remember, - Defne grumbled and looked around. Her eyes widened in surprise. Looking at the upward path lined with stones, the garden, the roof of the house visible behind it, Defne involuntarily gasped. Today the trees were dressed in green leaves instead of crimson, but other than that, there was no difference. Omer brought her to the very house where their secret wedding and two happy days away from Istanbul took place. - Omer! You rented the same house! - Defne exclaimed happily and hugged her husband. Omer happily clasped his arms around her and slyly objected:

- Didn't rent it.

Defne pulled away and looked incredulously into his sly face.

- What do you mean by "did not rent it"?

"That is what it means," Omer put his arm around her waist and led her up the path. "This is our home now."

- You bought the house?! Defne breathed enthusiastically. - The same one?

"But you wanted a house on the island," he reminded her. - If we buy, then why not the one with which wonderful memories are associated.

- Yes! Yes! Yes! - Stopping in front of the wide terrace, she exclaimed. - Darling, what a romantic you are! I'll probably never get used to your overwhelming surprises!

Omer hugged her from the back, covered her stomach with his palms, and whispered in her ear:

"It's easy to be romantic with you. And make surprises. To please you is the best that can be in the world.

- True? - Defne turned in his arms and threw her arms around his neck. Rubbing her nose against his nose, she said in a hoarse whisper: "I love you to infinity."

- And I love you, - Omer answered in the same hoarse way and pressed his lips to hers in a gentle kiss.

A door creaked, and Nihan's loud voice burst into the magic.

- Hey! They kiss! Later you'll kiss! We are waiting for you, by the way, for breakfast! Everyone is hungry!

Defne pulled away from her husband and looked in surprise at the terrace. The whole Topal family stood there: Serdar with Nihan and baby Iso, a tenderly smiling grandmother Turkan and radiant Esra. And behind, Omer's grandfather leaned on a cane.

- Why are you here? - Defne was surprised.

- How why? Nihan exclaimed. "Sinan and Seda invited us to the wedding. Where should we stay if not at the house of our beloved son-in-law?

Defne looked at her husband and asked:

- Did my family find out about the house before I did?

He shrugged apologetically and replied:

- It happened so.

- It turned out great! - Defne exclaimed and hobbled briskly to hug her family.
