DANGEROUS LOVE'S

Last Day in Istanbul

Today is the last day for Japheth to be in Istanbul. Tomorrow he's going to the airport to make his flight to New York. The man was standing on the balcony above his room, wearing only black sleeping pajamas. Both of his hands held a balcony guardrail. His pair of dark eyes stared at the night sky that was strewn with stars and the round rays of the full moon. Deep down and deep in his mind were the words of Hazal who only considered himself as his brother.

Is it in your heart that I'm just a big brother to you? Is there only one Ozcan in your heart? Or another name? Why didn't you refuse my hug while we were at the beach ? Why do you enjoy our time together so much, Hazal ? If you only think of me as a brother, I don't want to be your brother, Hazal....

In the stillness of the cold night, a young girl in her red pajamas was seen sitting on another balcony next to Japheth's room. These two balconies are next to each other and border only a wall about a meter in length. Each balcony has two door leaves made of wood and glass which is an access to enter the room.

A pair of round, brown eyes looked at the stars that seemed close but far from the grasp of his hand. That girl is Hazal. Behind her pair of beautiful brown eyes, the girl was thinking that tomorrow she would part with her foster sister.

If you knew how I felt, I don't know the name of this feeling. But all I know is that my heart wants to be with you. My heart is very calm when you hold me, when you wipe my tears, when your fingers touch my face. Although you always make me angry, but I like your smile and your attention. A feeling that should not have occurred among the foster siblings.

When these two people have shared their own heart with their own heart. Their gazes met each other, when their footsteps were about to head to the room. Their voices greeted each other.

"Hazal"

"Japheth"

"Are you not able to sleep? Get in your room, it's so cold outside."

"I just want to look at the stars in the sky and see the beautiful moonlight."

Japheth went into his room and looked for a jacket in his closet. He picked up a dark brown jacket and took it to Hazal's room. Put the jacket on Hazal's body. The jacket looks too big for a Hazal-sized body. "What a measure of greatness, but it will warm you" said Japheth with a smile with both hands holding Hazal's arms.

"You must also be cold, I'll take something for you" Hazal said. Then he stepped his foot into his room. He took his own handmade scarf, dark blue, a scarf bearing Japheth's name on the edge. Wrapped his scarf to Japheth's neck.

Japheth saw the inscription of his name on the scarf. He held Hazal's hand. "Is this you who made it ?"

Hazal nodded his head with a smile. "I made this last year, I didn't think to give it to you, because it was us...."

Hazal did not continue, and Japheth suddenly hugged him tightly. Hazal returned Japheth's embrace. "I really like your gift, Hazal. I really like him." whispered Japheth to Hazal's ear.

"really ?"

"Yes.I really like this scarf. Can I take this scarf to New York ?"

"Bring this scarf to always remind you of me."

Both hands of Japheth held the little face of Hazal. She brought her face closer to Hazal's and said "I will always remember you, engrave your face in my mind, engrave your smile inside my eyes, and engrave your name in my heart."

Hazal smiled sweetly at the words of Japheth. Seeing Hazal's smile, Japheth could not help but feel. "You're so pretty, Hazal." That instant also their lips touched each other. Japheth kissed Hazal's red lips. Kiss her gently, feeling. Hazal also returned Japheth's kiss, making it deeper. They shared their breaths and shared the air on this cold night. Expressing a feeling that they could not express before, Japheth hugged Hazal tightly, his lips curling over Hazal's.

Hazal closed his eyes, his adoptive parents' faces flashed in his mind. Hazal's tears fell and hit Japheth's nose. Suddenly Hazal's hand pushed her foster brother's body backwards. Then Japheth let go of his kiss. "I'm sorry" said Japheth, still holding Hazal in his arms.

"What's up ? Just what is it ? Is there someone else in your heart?"

"Not..not like that?"

"Then...What is Hazal?"

Hazal broke free from Japheth's embrace. He walked towards the exit of his room.

"Japheth, go back to your room now. It's late at night. Tomorrow morning I have to go to school and you have to go to the airport." Hazal said, turning her back and stepping towards her bedroom door.

"I'm not going out until you tell me the truth."

"We should forget about the kiss earlier, we better be in a relationship as a brother and sister only."

"I can't believe you're saying something like this, Hazal. I know you have feelings for me, I feel every beat of your heart that beats as we get closer, you return every hug, and even you enjoy our kiss. What do I feel is wrong?"

"Please get out of my room, Japheth."

"Okay..maybe I've misjudged you, I don't need this scarf either." Japheth removed Hazal's scarf and threw it on the floor just below Hazal's feet. Then he stepped out of his adoptive sister's room.

Hazal closed the door to her room and she cried behind the door.

I'm sorry, Japheth. Excuse me. Your words are right. I do have feelings for you. Maybe I've fallen in love with you. But.I can't love you as a lover, Japheth. That relationship is forbidden to us. You are my foster brother. How can I face my mother and father ? Please understand, Japheth....
