22. Excuses
I pull the blanket over my head, attempting to gain one hour sleep more. A broken heart and a bed, the perfect match. I still can't believe that 'Eren and I' is over. I should have sense it though. It was too perfect to be true. Perfection doesn't last long.
Wiping away my tears with my thumb, I squeeze my eyes together and try to fall asleep again. But there is a sudden knock at the door of my room. I frown, peeking my head out from the blanket.
It can't be Eren. He broke up with me, he won't be here. Concluding that it must be Madam Tina, I get out of bed and head to the door.
I open it and frown on seeing it's actually Eren with a tray of food in his hands.
"Good mor—"
I slam the door on his face.
He immediately knocks at the door again. "Can we talk?" My heart melts on hearing his voice. Is he going to apologise? "I brought you breakfast."<

Eren 23. Married
Today I woke up early to do some work out. I needed to change my mind and burned all my sadness and fury. As I’m doing some stretchings, my phone suddenly rings. I sigh and quickly pick up the device from the chair. I smile as I see it’s my dear father. He hasn’t called since a week.“Hey daddy.” I say cheerfully on answering.“How are you sweetheart?”Euh.“I-I’m fine.” I lie.“What about you?”“I’m good.” He answers. “I’m coming back next Sunday.”My stomach flips.“Great!” I fake a laugh. I enjoyed living alone with Eren. Not that I don’t miss my father but if he returns, Eren and I will have to pretend that nothing happened between us.“Can you do s
Eren 24. The truth
"Those papers belong to Toni, the one who looked after you the night I went to the Citadel. He is your official bodyguard."At his words, I throw his hands away from my face and step back in shocked. I look at the floor and try to catch my breath.No. No. This is not possible!Concerned, Eren quickly comes to me and takes my hand in his. "You need to trust me Hayat." He pleads, caressing my palm with his thumb. "Let me finish please."Completely perturbed, I nod slowly and look in his eyes. They look so sincere. It makes me want to believe him and trust him, but how could he have been pretending all this time?We take a seat on the bed and Eren holds my hands in his. "Hayat..." He starts, rubbing my knuckles. "I know who are the culprits."My heart skips a beat. I stare at Eren with wide eyes as he licks his lips in a stressed manner. "They are my brothers."
Eren 25. I'm sorry
“I was the one who did the anonymous calls and sent you the emails.”My mouth hangs open.“What?!” I exclaim, not sure that I heard him correctly.Eren nods guiltily. “It was the only way to make you go to the police station and seek protection.”I shake my head and breathe heavily. Oh god.“It was a fake bank account number by the way.” Eren winks teasingly. I give him a friendly tap on his arm and he chuckles shortly.He then clears his throat, returning back to seriousness. “Toni did in sort to change the name of your assigned bodyguard and replace it with his name. This took time and that was why I didn’t arrive at night as was supposed.” He sucks in his cheek. “I took everything on me. I’m the one who wanted to cover my brothers while trying to make things
Eren 26. Light up a lantern
"Eren! It's here, stop!" I scream excitedly as I spot a crowd of people in the far end of the street, visible by an orangy glow.To make himself forgiven for all that happened, Eren has agreed to take me to the latern festival tonight. I have always dream to light a lantern while making a wish and release it in the sky, let the wind take it, knowing that it will stop somewhere. Somewhere out of the blue. Like life, we live and travel with our wishes while being aware that we will die one day, but not knowing where and when.After parking the bike, Eren and I join the clamour group of people. Some are distributing the lanters, some are filling them with air, some lighting their lanterns and some releasing them. My heart fills with happiness at the sight of these."Thank you for taking me here." I murmur happily, throwing my hands around Eren's neck and plant a soft kiss on his cheek.He looks at me wi
Eren 27. Wanting you
After taking a good shower and got into my night robe, I go downstairs to say goodnight to Eren. But as I walk down the stairs, I hear a sad piano melody echoing the salon. He is playing piano at that time? I precipitate towards the music and when I reach the little music room, I find Eren sitting at the piano, his long fingers pressing rapidly the keys as he plays. Since what happened last night with his brothers, he has been sad and silent the whole day. He is always joking and teasing me that it feels so strange to see him in such a state. But as for me, I'm trying not to think of all that happened, of all those horrible truths and the menaces of Eren's brothers. I'm striving to forget about everything, but I just couldn't answer my father's call this morning after knowing the real him now. I don't know how I will be able to face him in six days. Snapping out of my thoughts, I qui
Eren 28. Damon is gone
I slowly open my eyes as I feel someone stroking my hair lightly. I’m blessed to see a pair of radiant sea-green eyes admiring my face. I smile. “Good morning life.” Eren says in a deep morning voice and plants a soft kiss on my forehead. I smile wider. “I wish to wake up everyday like this.” I snuggle closer to him and he wraps his arms tighter around me, the white bed sheet covering our naked bodies. “We will.” He tells me promisingly, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. I beam at him and observe his gorgeous face as a few strands of his messy hair are falling on it. Eren seems so tired but the gleam in his eyes tells me that he is beyond happy. I blush as I notice his lips. It’s red and seriously swollen. Gosh, I bit on them too hard. My cheeks begin heating up as the moments of last night flash in my head. I did it. I did it with Eren, the love of my life. It can’
Eren 29. Little Eren
Four years later “Eren Dan Aiyer!” I cry out for the tenth time at the bottom of the stairs. "We need to go!" He groans in annoyance. “But maa—” “Fine.” I rest a hand on my hip and tap my feet. “I’m going without you.” “No no!” He yells dramatically. “I’m coming, I’m coming!” My soon four years old son immediately runs down the stairs. I smile on looking at him. He is so cute in his blue denim overalls and white shoes. Unfortunately, he resembles his father to such a point that I cry sometimes while looking at him. He took over all his features, even the eyes. That intense turquoise colour. I just pray that the colour will change gradually as he grows up. Eren runs to me and hugs my legs. Giggling, he raises his head to look at me with sheep eyes. “I love the Citadel.” “Shhh.” I place a finger
Eren 30. Erden
Those eyes. It’s him. But when I look at the face, I snap back to reality. It’s not Eren. It’s an updated version of Eren. I am frozen, gaping at him, all stunned by the resemblance. Eren’s face was more angular compared to him. This guy got a thinner jaw and a much pointer nose. His cheekbones are also more sharper. But his eyes, his hair, his thin beard, his height, his body and his lips are exactly the same. How is that possible? Is he his clown or what? The man is staring at me too, his lips parted as if in total shocked. I was about to conclude what was filling his eyes when Eren suddenly comes to hold my hand, throwing me out of my inspection. I immediately step back when I realise that my chest is brushing against the guy’s. I can’t deny. He is damn hot and handsome. He is wearing
