From AslanIt was another boring day.I left the warehouse tense and angry. I had just killed a man who had betrayed me.You bastard! Look, it came back to me.My phone rang as I was walking to my car.It was Semih; he hadn't come with me today. I had assigned him to a different job at the warehouse."What's up?""How kind of you, Aslan Abi.""Stop this nonsense!!""Brother, I found the man we were looking for.""Where is that piece of shit Semih? Tell me quick!""At Orkide Kindergarten, brother."What the hell is this?"Son, are you kidding me?!""Brother, I swear, I'm not joking. This bastard was hiding in the kindergarten cafeteria to make it less noticeable.""Okay, hang up now, Semih; be at the door when I call you.""Yes, brother."I immediately drove towards Orkide Kindergarten.I knew what I would do with it if I could get my hands on it!!I got off in front of my school and walked quickly inside.But it must have been after school; there were kids everywhere.A little girl bumped into me."You should have been careful, man; my nails were getting chopped off!" she said, angrily.I could see people around me looking at me with fear.No one had ever looked at me with anything other than fear before.And that's when I saw her.She was wearing a burgundy dress. Her black hair was falling in waves over her shoulders.Her eyes, darker than the night, were wandering around. She had skin as white as the moon.Fuck, I guess too much stress had given her heart palpitations.Because a sudden pain stabbed into my heart.But I ignored it; I was used to all kinds of pain.I kept watching.A woman walked towards her with a little child in her hand.She looked at the woman, smiled, and started talking, occasionally asking the child something and laughing.I wonder if she would smile at me like that if I went and talked to her?What's going on?! Why was I thinking this?Suddenly, a small child fell to the ground.She stopped talking to the woman and ran to the child with concern. She picked him up and began wiping his knee with a tissue from her bag.After thoroughly wiping it down, she put a bandage on it and kissed the boy's cheek.He got back up and started walking. When he came to me, he raised his head, glanced at me, and continued on his way.I let out a sigh of relief. Why had I become like this?It was as if all my anger had vanished, leaving a deep sense of peace.I thought for a while and then went back the way I came.Semih was waiting at the door."So, where's the guy, man?" he said."Semih, screw him, son; I think we really screwed up.""Why are we?""Never mind.""And you have three days to research every single teacher in this school and bring them to me, Semih," I added."Yes, brother," he said.And I drove home.Three days later, I had the information on all the teachers and found her by looking at their photos.Ahsen Çoşkun is a 21-year-old teacher. She lost her parents six months ago. She lives alone.I read all the information, unaware that I would memorize every letter of their names in the coming days.I only looked it up out of curiosity that day, but it would later become an obsession.• Present Day.I left the house quickly because if I had stayed in this rage any longer, I would have harmed the woman.I couldn't bear a single strand of hair falling out.I've had this thing since childhood: a nervous breakdown.The slightest disobedience towards me would fill every cell in my body with anger.In the morning, while I desperately wanted her to come closer to me, Ahsen's pulling away from me made me so angry.I got in the car and drove to the warehouse. I needed to vent my anger immediately.It was after 5:00 when I left the warehouse.My phone rang. It was one of the guards at home."Tell me!""Brother, your aunt is missing."My blood raced. What do you mean, she's missing? My woman!"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU MEANING LOST? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU STANDING THERE FOR?"Dude, Ebru told him I had a headache; the guards should go out front. Ebru had just gone to give him his medication, but he wasn't there, and there was a sheet hanging from the window.""OKAY, SHUT UP, I'M COMING!"I immediately got in the car and drove home. I couldn't think straight. How could she run away from me? How could she?!Yes, I was in love with Ahsen. I understood this, even though it was too late, but I didn't love her yet. Especially the thought of running away made me incredibly angry with her.When I got home, all the guards were lined up."THOSE PEOPLE I ASSIGNED TO BE UNDER THE ROOM SHOULD COME OUT!"I didn't see anyone move, but I could see they were all shaking with fear."WILL YOU COME OUT?! OR SHOULD I BURN THIS HOUSE DOWN WITH ALL OF YOU?! HEE! Two people emerged silently but with great fear. They were so nervous that their faces were pale."Is that you?" I said with terrifying calmness."Y-yes, Mr. Aslan.""Semih, coach, come here," I said."Go ahead, brother," he said."Bring everyone a knife, coach," I said, pointing to the army of guards behind me.When Semih handed them all the knives, I slowly took the rope in the corner and tied the two guards in the middle."NOW YOU ALL!! I GIVE YOU ALL A PIECE OF RIGHT. WHICH PIECE IS YOURS? YOU WILL DECIDE. EACH OF YOU WILL CUT A PIECE OF YOUR FRIENDS. COME ON, GUYS, THE STAGE IS YOURS!" I said in an authoritative voice.They all looked at each other, but none of them could take a step."If anyone can't do it, tell me, and I'll tie them up too! This is a lesson for all of you. I think this lesson will teach you very well not to disobey me!"They all swallowed in fear and started to do as I said."Semih, you stand over them. If even one of their hands shakes, shoot them all!" I said.And I took a few of them and went into the forest. Now it was time to find my princess.Since it was dark, we were searching for Ahsen with flashlights."Brother, there's a woman lying on the ground," said a guard.I went where he said with fear.Ahsen was lying lifeless on the ground...I felt my heart stop for a moment."Ahsen, open your eyes, my darling; I'm here. Open, Ahsen!" I shouted worriedly.But he was still lying lifeless; I immediately hugged him and shouted."BRING THE CAR NOW, MY ASSHOLE!"When the car arrived, we got in, and it started driving to the hospital at top speed.He was still in my arms, and his body was cold as ice."Oh, please, open your eyes, my beauty, please."I tried to open my eyes, but it was so hard because my head was pounding.Oh, where was I? I finally escaped.I finally opened my eyes, but the light was so uncomfortable.I winced.This was a hospital room.I had something warm in my hand. I moved my fingers. It was ahead.Aslan's head was in my hand, and I thought he was asleep.I moved my hand a little more. He suddenly lifted his head and looked into my eyes. His eyes were red."Are you awake, my darling?"My darling? What the hell were we doing? How come I'm your only one?I wanted to say it, but I bit my tongue.I nodded heavily, still feeling a headache.Then something happened.Aslan suddenly stood up and hugged me.I was shocked, so I couldn't react for a few minutes."A-Aslan, stop. What are you doing?"He buried his head in my neck and took deep breaths."I was so scared, Ahsen, that something happened to you."I let him hug me for a few minutes because I was so tired I wasn't in the mood to fight."Aslan, okay, that's enough," I said.He kissed my neck and left."Now, let's get to the point. No matter how scared I am that something will happen to you, that doesn't mean I won't get angry at you. Why did you run away from me, Ahsen?""Because I don't want to spend my life with a maniac like you. I have a job. I have a life. I have friends. I can't stay in that damn house for the rest of my life. Do you understand me? I hate you, and I don't want to spend my life with you."For the first time, I saw it in his eyes. I saw an emotion other than expressionlessness and anger pass by.hurt.My words had hurt him, but why? Why was he keeping me at his house? Why was it that I was hurting him when I said I hated Don?The hurt in his eyes was only for a few seconds, then it gave way to anger."DON'T MAKE ME MAD, AHSEN!! IF I SAID YOU WILL STAY WITH ME, YOU WILL STAY WITH ME. IT'S OVER!"
