Give Me Your Hand's

A Slander

After Mehmet's departure, Kenan finds Ivy standing behind the front room wall.

"Do you like eavesdropping on other people's conversations?" The dark gray eye bead stared intently at the plain oval face without any makeup.

"Where should I hide? Your voice sounds quite clear" elak Ivy shrugged his shoulders and walked away from Kenan.

The man soon realized that it was true what the woman said. With its small residence, only two three steps distance between the rooms. It even feels cramped if it is inhabited by two people.

"Did you hear everything?" Kenan poured a plastic teapot filled with water into a glass glass on the table.

"Yes. Why don't you fight for your love? Wouldn't it be painful to lose someone you love?" ask Ivy who walked over to Kenan.

"Do you know what it's like to lose?" Kenan asked back as he stepped forward to approach Ivy. The two men stood face to face at a very close distance, an inch of an adult's palm.

"I don't know" answered Ivy who slightly raised his head, because Ivy's height was only limited to Kenan's neck.

"If you don't know what it's like to lose, don't ever ask me anything!" exclaiming Kenan while advancing his steps back made Ivy spontaneously rewind his steps. Until the woman was cornered on the wall.

"You and I are just strangers who happen to meet, so don't interfere with my business! So will I, I won't interfere in your affairs!" kenan exclaimed with emphasis, the sound was heard right in front of Ivy's ears. Ivy's heart skipped a beat, either out of fear or because there was something else.

Ivy returned to breathing with relief, after Kenan turned her body slightly away from her.

"After lunch I'll take you home. I'll go to the dock first. There is a ship that I have to repair" said Kenan who immediately left Ivy who was still standing sculpting.

The sun had gone up on its head, when Ferrite came to Eleanor's company. The well-built man opened the door of Victor's study, like his own.

"This is the deadline, Victor Eleanor! Did Ivy meet?" ferit asked while leaning his body in front of Ivy's father's desk.

The middle-aged man could only close his eyelids and exhale deeply.

"If you want to marry my daughter, I can give Cansu as Ivy's replacement" Victor said. He tried to buy time so that Ferrite did not withdraw his help.

Ferrite laughed out loud as soon as he heard Victor's offer. The dark brown-haired man turned over Victor's nameplate that was on the table.

"The help I give you is worth the Ivy in your eyes. Am I going to exchange a diamond for a stone?"

Victor Eleanor was silent at the words of Ferrite. The man was right, there was nothing more valuable than Ivy and Deniz in his life. If only someone else could help her without sacrificing her daughter.

Ferrite pointed out the dossier of the agreement they had signed earlier. Immediately Victor got up to his feet with his bead of teary eyes staring at the file.

"This deal is over! I won't give you a dime for your company!" ferrite shouted as he tore the file in front of Victor and then threw it up. The piece of paper flew and fell to the floor. Dismissed Victor's hopes to save his company.

"This agreement may end, but I will bring back my bride! I'll find Ivy in my own way!" threatening Ferrite. The man was about to step away.

"Wait on! If this deal ends, there's no marriage between you and Ivy!" victor exclaims with the rest of his powers to save his daughter from Ferit.

Ferrite walked up to Victor who was standing behind his desk. "There is no covenant, there is no marriage. But I will make your daughter bow her head before me! After he humiliated me in public!"

The hair-bound man immediately turned his back and left Victor sitting limp in his chair.

Victor's hand shook violently when he rubbed the picture frame of his family on the table. He has failed to become a father, head of the family and owner of the company. To save his daughter, he could not.

The middle-aged man immediately took his high blood medicine that was in the desk drawer and immediately drank it. He asked the company driver to drive him back home.

"Sir Victor, we're home" the company driver said when he saw his employer asleep in the back seat.

"Yes" said Victor who soon woke up as soon as he heard the voice of his driver. The driver quickly opened the car door next to Victor.

"Do I need to go inside, sir?" ask the driver.

Victor simply raised his palm as if saying no need, I still powerfully walked. Before the driver left, he saw his employer enter his house.

At about three in the afternoon, Kenan drove Ivy home. At first glance he looked at Ivy's side face when the car he was driving stopped at a red light. So does Ivy, who glimpsed Kenan's face as the car was running. There was only silence coming down their mouths.

At four in the afternoon, the SUV stopped in front of Ivy's house. The house in the Mediterranean style is white with a brown accent. With the shape of the window and the door curved at the top.

Ivy and Kenan got out of the car and stepped closer to the entrance. Ivy pressed the doorbell.

"Ivy...!" exclaimed Nur with his surprise and happy when he saw his master's son had returned home. Ivy hugged the puffed-up woman tightly.

"You okay? Everyone is looking for you" Nur said with teary eyes holding Ivy's face.

"Yes. I'm fine" Ivy replied.

Nur's eye beads turned to the man behind Ivy. Before the housekeeper spoke up, Ivy immediately invited Kenan to enter the house.

Just as they took two steps, Victor was already standing in front of Ivy and Kenan. The two men stopped their steps.

"Do you remember your home? You remember your dad, huh?" victor asked with a sharp look on his eyes.

"Dad..," said Ivy softly. "I'm sorry. Please don't make me marry Ferrite." Those green eyes melted like melted ice cubes.

"Is it because of this man that you ran away on your wedding day?" Victor pointed at Kenan's nose. The young man looked confused.

"Wait." said Kenan trying to explain exactly what happened. But suddenly Ivy cut off his words.

"Yes that's right. He has taken my honor, Father," Ivy said with tears in her eyes.

I'm sorry, Kenan. I was forced to slander you so that father wouldn't force me to marry Ferit. The man will definitely retreat, if he finds out that I am no longer holy.

Kenan and Victor's faces suddenly changed. Kenan immediately pulled Ivy's arm, he wanted the woman to clarify his words. But Victor immediately removed Kenan's hand from his daughter's arm.

"How dare you touch my daughter!" screech Victor who immediately raised his hand to Kenan's face.

"That's not true!" shout Kenan. He stared at Ivy's face.

Victor retreated his steps, he stared at Ivy and Kenan's faces in turn. Trying to figure out which one of them is lying.

"Did you not trust me anymore?" Ivy tries to convince Victor with her cries. Hearing Ivy's cry made the middle-aged man take the wrong decision in his life.

Victor called his housekeeper. "Hand this man! And lock him up in the barn!"
