Give Me Your Hand's

The Cemetery of Victor Eleanor

The moonlight had already begun to lift upwards when Ivy came out of the house in a hurry. He passed two solid pillars in front of the door of his house.

Without realizing it Kenan followed him from behind and stopped his steps, "Go to my car! I'll drive you!"

"No. I'm not gonna get you in my trouble again. You go!" exclaims Ivy who is trying to find a way next to Kenan.

Unknowingly, Kenan held onto Ivy's right hand and pulled the woman. Ivy immediately turned her body towards Kenan. Two pairs of beads were glued to two hands that were interlocked. Kenan immediately removed his hand grip from Ivy's hand.

"Too late! You've been involving me since our first meeting!" yelled Kenan while raising both of his hands.

Kenan immediately opened the car door for Ivy. Without thinking any more, the woman immediately sat beside the steering chair. Ivy had no choice, he had to get to the factory immediately.

As Ivy's heart grew more agitated, he put his fingers over his lap. Sometimes he bites his lower lip. The SUV was speeding towards Victor.p's factory

"Dad..," Ivy murmured quietly almost inaudibly. His eyes stared carefully at every road he walked. He hoped that the car he was riding could fly quickly. He wanted to know his father's situation immediately.

"What exactly happened?" ask Kenan who does not understand the situation that is happening.

"I don't know. The police called me earlier, saying they said my father's factory was on fire and they couldn't reach my father" Ivy replied, leaning her head against the back of a chair.

From a distance the yellowish red light coming from the blaze was already visible. Ivy was getting panicked to see the fire.

"Ivy, calm yourself. Maybe your father has gone home" comforted Kenan, who saw the woman next to him trying to call his father's cell phone repeatedly.

"How can I calm down? I don't know where my father is! Is my father safe or not? His phone died!" nagging Ivy with a tense.

"Calm down! If you panic, you can't think. We'll be there soon!" exclaim Kenan while changing the gears of his car.

Ivy tried to calm herself down by covering her face with both palms. He could not imagine what if his father died from the fire.

At the scene, sirens were heard from fire engines coming in and out to try to stop the rampage. Police gave yellow lines around the building to keep people from entering the scene of the fire. Some people were busy to watch the incident.

Ivy immediately got out of the car and ran towards the crowd. His eyes were looking for his father.

"Ivy," called Sophia and Cansu who were also among the crowd.

"Where's dad?" Ivy asked while holding Sophia's arm. "Say where's my dad?" she cried again when her stepmother did not answer her question.

"They haven't found your father yet" replied Sophia who tried to prevent Ivy from getting into the fire. But too late, Ivy immediately ran close to that dividing line.

"Let me in! I'm looking for my dad!" ivy exclaimed to the police officer guarding there.

Finally the police officer gave Ivy permission to enter after seeing the woman's teary face. Kenan who lost Ivy immediately looked for the woman in the crowd. But he did not manage to find Victor's daughter.

"Dad...!" Ivy shouted in front of the charred building on fire. He still wished his father was still alive, even though the possibility was very small.

Two firefighters came out with a large plastic bag. Ivy immediately approached them.

"Stop!" exciting Ivy. "Bo.. can I.. look at the...who is inside?"

The officer lowered the black plastic bag to the ground. They opened the plastic bag. Ivy immediately widened the opening of the plastic bag to see clearly whose face was there. A man with a blackened face.

Ivy closed her mouth because she felt her stomach nauseous when she saw the body. Officers further widened the opening of the pouch, Ivy's bead locked to a golden ring that was still coiled on the corpse's fingers.

"Dad...!" ivy screams hysterically making everyone shocked and look at him. Including Sophia, Cansu and Kenan who stood in different places.

Ivy sat on the ground with her tears rushing down. A big hammer hit his head when he saw the face of the man who had loved him all along.

"Don't bring my father...!" Ivy shouted to the officer who put his father's body into the ambulance. The siren roar rang again.

"Dad...!" Ivy screamed while chasing the white car that left the scene. His running speed is not as fast as the speed of the vehicle, he fell down on the asphalt of the highway.

"Dad...!" Ivy shouted as she stretched out one of her hands forward, as if she wanted to reach her father. His eyes were covered with tears.

Unconsciously Kenan who saw the incident also shed his tears. The events Ivy experienced reminded him of his mother's death, albeit in a different way. The feeling of loss again surrounded Kenan's heart.

*****

The next day Ferit Kozan was sitting on one of the chairs by his private pool. He was reading the newspaper today.

"Business news.sports news," murmured Ferit as he flipped through the gray paper.

"And the news..," Ferrite's murmur came to a halt when his brown eye bead was fixed on a headline this morning.

"News of the Eleanor company factory fire. Victor Eleanor was found dead at the scene of the fire." The sound of writing read by Ferrite.

The thirty-year-old man immediately threw the newspaper on the table. "Victor's wife is dead, Ivy must have heard this."

The morning sun was still not too hot, when several people dressed all in black accompanied the departure of the late Victor Eleanor. Ivy, Sophia, Cansu and Nur could only stand by as soon as the coffin went into the burrow and was covered with piles of dirt.

After they finished praying for the departure of the deceased, they sowed and placed a wreath on Victor's tomb.

"Am I late?" asked a tall man who opened his sunglasses. The man stood beside Ivy and laid his wreath on Victor's belly button.

Just like I thought, this time we meet again Ivy....

Sophia and Cansu were shocked to see who had come to the funeral. But Ivy did not pierce the man's voice, his bead still staring at his father's navel.

"I mourn the death of your father. I just read the news in the newspaper this morning" said Ferrit, extending his hand toward Ivy.

"Thank you," said Ivy who only briefly returned Ferit's hand.

"I didn't expect your father to die so soon. He hasn't seen our wedding yet" Ferrit said with a smile. The man was still standing beside Ivy. But the woman was silent at the man's words.

"Who's that guy next to Ivy?" asked Kenan who was standing near Nur. Since then the man attended the funeral of Ivy's father, he saw how arrogant Ferit's attitude and the man's eyes looked at Ivy.

"He's the guy who's getting married to Ivy. His name is Ferit Kozan" Nur replied, whispering in Kenan's ear.

Kenan only fell silent after hearing Nur's explanation. In her heart she wanted to ask why Ivy had run away from her marriage back then, but she felt the situation was not right.

"Ivy, we'll go home first. You want to come with us home?" sophia asked as she flanked the arm of Cansu, her biological daughter.

"No. I still want to be here" Ivy replied with her face puffy.

"All right." Sophia, Cansu and Nur immediately left the burial site. Some relatives have also returned home, now only Ivy, Ferrit and Kenan are left standing a little far behind the woman.

Ferrite felt just stay himself and Ivy there. He was not aware of Kenan's presence that had been watching him since.

"After your day of mourning is over, I will continue our wedding" Ferrit said, holding Ivy's left hand.

Ivy immediately released his hand from Ferrite. "What do you really want? Why do you want this wedding so badly? We don't know each other!"

Ferrite suddenly laughed out loud at Ivy's question. "Of course I really want this wedding. Because I'll never let go of my bride."

The brown-eyed bead stared intently at Ivy's oval face. The woman could only hold her palm tightly.

"If you need anything, you can find me" whispered Ferrite in Ivy's ear. "Come to my house, and you'll know me."

Ivy could only swallow his saliva after hearing Ferit's words. The man immediately put his sunglasses back on and left Ivy with a look on his sullen face.

After Ferit's departure, Kenan immediately approached Ivy who was still standing in his place.

"I mourn the passing of your father" said Kenan, extending his hand toward Ivy.

"Thank you" Ivy replied with a faint smile. In his mind still ringing the words of Ferit. He fixed the head cover.

"You must have been devastated by this sudden incident." Kenan tried to give his empathy to Ivy.

The green eyes turned red again. "Yes. I haven't been able to tell Dad the truth. How are your parents doing? Are they okay?"

"They're dead. My mother died when I was ten. My father just died a year ago" Kenan replied as he stared at Ivy's father's navel.

"I'm sorry. I think our fate is the same. Both orphans." Ivy turned her back to walk away from her father's belly button.

"An orphan? Who was that woman you were with? Last night they were at the scene of the fire." Kenan followed Ivy's steps.

"The red-haired woman is my stepmother, while the black-haired woman is my half-sister." They chatted while walking, until they reached the exit.

"Well, thank you for your help and I'm sorry I always bother you" Ivy said. He waved his hand to stop the taxi that was driving towards him.

"Yes." Yeah." Kenan answered briefly. "I can take you home."

The taxi Ivy called stopped beside them.

Ivy just shook her head while smiling. "Go back to the dock, isn't it your time to work. Go awayl. See you, Kenan."

"alright. See you soon." Kenan returned Ivy's smile. He then helped Ivy open the yellow back door of the taxi.
