Give Me Your Hand's

Hasan Caught One of Eleanor's Daughters

Inside the Istanbul Mall, dozens of pairs of legs continue to step along each floor pattern depicted under their footwear.

Several colorful-looking banners hung above the ceiling to half the height of the building. The banner contains a discount party held by several stores to welcome the arrival of spring.

Some pairs of eyes did not stop moving observing every storefront that plastered in every store. This is the scene that makes the women hungry and makes the eyebrows of the adam appear wrinkled. Two women of different ages were riding the escalator to the fifth floor, where foodies gathered.

They both entered a Japanese restaurant. With its interior similar to the Japanese home in ancient times. Wall bulkhead made of a wooden frame in the form of dark brown geometry then a thick sheet of white paper as the cover. Some silhouettes of various body shapes

the visible human.

A chandelier with its ball frame exposed fills the Ivy retina. The glow helped Ivy circulate his gaze in all directions.

“That's it!” he shouted to Nur. He pointed his index finger at a long-haired woman. The light of the yellow light made the long hair appear glowing.

They immediately approached the woman sitting in the corner of the room. The woman was bowing her face to read every row of letters printed in the black-covered menu book.

“Cansu,” greet Ivy and Nur together. The two pulled out a chair in front of the woman. Chair without legs. Only in the form of curved wooden backrests and stands made of soft foam pads.

The young woman who was called Ivy then raised her head to look at the two women in front of her. “Ivy.. Nur..”.

Ivy sits himself with his legs bent over the maroon pads, looking to observe Cansu's slightly changed appearance.

A few seconds later, Victor's daughter realized something. “You changed your hair color?”

Cansu smiled revealing a row of flat teeth. All five fingers of his hand swished in combing his hair which was now dark brown, like Ivy's.

“How? Does this color suit me?”

Ivy and Nur show Cansu their two thumbs.

“Oh, you look beautiful, darling.” praise Nur. The woman sat herself next to Ivy.

“Wow!” Ivy exclaimed with her twitching eyelids and the sound of her laughter.

“Nur, I can imagine Mehmet's facial expression as soon as the man saw his current bride,” continued Ivy with a gesture of his hand caressing Cansu's face from sixty centimeters away. The Victor princess then laughed.

Cansu widened her eyelids. The blue-eyed bead immediately popped out of the nest. As if he wanted to tell Ivy, come on. I'm taking your opinion seriously.

“I’m seriously, dear. You look so beautiful,” complimented Ivy with her excited voice, then she took her phone and captured a photo of Cansu. “If Mehmet sees your appearance now, I guarantee he will marry you immediately tonight.”

“Do not!” exclaiming Cansu who immediately snatched Ivy's phone. “I want to give him a surprise.”

Ivy's laughter instantly exploded upon hearing Cansu's words.

“I don't even have any surprises for Kenan.”

“You never change, since childhood always mocked each other. Laugh and cry together. Though in a moment, you will become a wife,”, said Nur who saw the pity of Ivy to his half-brother.

The Victor princess was more able to reveal the expression of her heart, which sometimes rose and fell erratically. Like a wave of sea water hit by the wind to and fro.

In contrast to Cansu who is more closed and serious in disclosing something. This is because Cansu is five months older than Ivy, he can be an older brother to his stepbrother who likes to cry.

After filling their stomachs with Japanese food, Cansu gave Ivy a red cloth bag. “It's a fixture for your Henna Night.”

Ivy opened the bag and saw a red face-covering dress and cloth, a golden hairpick with beaded ornaments, six Henna bottles, six multicolored glitter pots, three shimmer pots, and a few more, three pots of gems and pearls, glue, brushes and pencils.

“It looks like it's complete. Let's get out of here,” invite Ivy who immediately moved out of his chair and followed by the other two women.

“Cansu, have you bought a sexy nightgown for your first night?” whispered Ivy while draping her arm on her half-brother's arm.

“Yesterday I bought it with Mehmet,” replied Cansu who walked with Ivy steps into the sleeping clothing area.

“What is Mehmet's taste? Does she also like this kind of clothes?” ask Ivy who took a nightgown suit with a thin material and in line with the color of the skin.

Cansu and Nur observe the clothes taken by Ivy. Nur's reaction only shook his head, while Cansu only laughed when he saw the inner two pieces wrapped by a thin kimono with a color that matches the color of the skin.

“Definitely Kenan told you to buy clothes like this?”  asked Cansu who was still with her laugh.

Princess Sophia put the nightgown on Ivy. The two brown eyebrows instantly went up and down. “I think it suits you. Kenan will carry you straight up the bed."

“Forget it! I'm not going to wear this!” exclaiming Ivy who returned the nightgown to its original place.

Cansu shook his head looking at Ivy's attitude. “Are you going to wear your pajamas with bears for your first night?”

Ivy snorted as she ruffled her waist in front of Cansu and Nur. “Of course not! But not something like this..”.

Cansu's index finger tapped on her red lips while watching Ivy. He took another nightgown and gave it to his sister. Not transparent but bright red with a length above the knee and an interior of two pieces without a rope.

“It feels more tempting," said Cansu by playing his eyes towards Nur who was beside him. The middle-aged woman replied to him by giving her thumbs up to her two foster daughters.

“At least I still feel like I'm wearing clothes. All right, I'll take this one.” Ivy snatched the nightgown from Cansu's hand.

He didn't want to reconsider because time was moving on. They should celebrate Henna Night in their own places.

After all the needs have been purchased. They descend together towards the ground floor, passing back rows of shops still crowded by visitors. In front of the bakery, they split up. Ivy had to wait for Nur who was in the toilet.

Princess Sophia came out through the same door she used when she entered the mall. His footsteps walked down the grayish-brown paving block floor to his mother's red car.

There was no ill feeling whatsoever that was in his mind, as the light of the lamp that was on one of the poles flickered under the dark sky. Several crows were drumming up on the power cord that ran over the roof of his car.

Just as Cansu was about to open the door of his car, suddenly a huge palm smothered his mouth and nose. The blue-eyed bead instantly opened wide, it was about to take the air that was stuck in its throat.

“To... please! Please...!” shouted Cansu who was trying to free himself from the hands of someone who was behind him.

But his body was getting weaker for a long time because of something he breathed that was in the palm of the big hand.

Cansu's body fell into the arms of a bearded man. The man immediately carried the slender body on his shoulders like a hoe he would carry to the field.

The brown-haired woman was put in a black sedan not far from the red car driven by Cansu. Inside the car was waiting for another friend who was sitting in the steering chair. The two Hasan's men smiled to see Sophia's unconscious daughter lying in the passenger seat.

“Bos, we have managed to catch the woman,” said the man sitting in the steering chair. The man was informing Hasan through his cell phone.

“You're sure it's the woman Mr Ferrit is looking for?”

The man in the steering wheel looked back. He tried to remember the photo Hasan had shown him. His friend who was in charge of smothering the woman also agreed.

“We are sure, Boss. The woman had dark brown hair. When he came, we saw him wearing white clothes and jeans, just like this woman was wearing."

“I'll take care of Mr. Ferrit, while you guys take that woman to the place I sent her location.”

A minute later, the bearded man's phone rang. A short message sent by Hasan. After reading the message, the bearded man immediately drove his sedan to the place his boss had prepared.
