The Turkish Male Charm

The Turkish Male Charm
The Undisputed



This afternoon the city of Mardin was dampened by the rain that fell very heavily. I opened the novel I just picked up from one of the neatly arranged bookshelves in my mini library. I was accompanied by hot milk coffee and my favorite chocolate brownies, I sat on the sofa located by the window, had seen the wet and rainy streets still falling so hard but still it was fun, it was so good, I really like the rain.


A fuschia-colored blanket covered my legs, I had just read a page, Arges came over to me and sat beside me. I raised my head from the direction of the book towards Arges's face which looked restless. What is this, my mind.


"Yasmine, I want to talk to you about something" he said.


I just nodded my head and brought myself closer to Arges, I stroked her hair softly, she did not dodge, she was only silent for a moment.


"Yasmine, I'm sorry. I'm divorcing you" Arges explained.


I was wide-eyed to hear Arges' words, he said without a doubt. I am not capable of words.


"We have to get a divorce, Yasmine" Arges repeated


"Why?" my voice trembled, my eyes began to feel hot as the tears were ready to flow.


"I can't make you happy, Yasmine. I'm barren. While you really want to have children" he explained.


My body shakes withstanding the crying. I'm still trying to digest Arges' words. The news he brought was like lightning in broad daylight.


"I cannot accept this reality. I was waiting for our baby, but I did not give you a child. If you're barren, I can take it. But it's me, Yasmine!" bentak Arge.


I gasped at the snaps of my husband, as long as he knew and married her, never once did he yell at me, now that he divorced me, he yelled at me.


"What's wrong with me?" my many.


"You're not wrong. I've been thinking about this decision for a long time since the beginning we knew the lab results, for me divorce is the best way. I've taken care of all the divorces" Arges explained and left Yasmine drowned.


I cried so much, I never imagined before my marriage ran aground in the middle of the road. A marriage that feels very happy, happy, now extinct already, everything feels destroyed and completely chaotic. Why did my husband choose this decision, O God, I cried.


Arges, who heard his wife's cry, wept. For him this was the hardest decision of his life. Arges doesn't want to get divorced from someone he loves very much. Yasmine is everything in Arges's life. But this reality was too difficult if he lived continuously with Yasmine, he tried to accept it just that his heart always refused, he felt very guilty with Yasmine. The only best way is to get divorced, Yasmine deserves a happy life, Arges thought.


Today's twilight looks gray, the rain that still fell very fast shut the beauty of twilight as if to understand what had just happened, the sadness that enveloped the hearts of Yasmine and Arges, a couple who just decided to get divorced. No sound was heard except raindrops and sobs of crying of the two separate people in their respective spaces.


The coffee I made was cold, the brownies accompanying her looked sad. Everything feels sad. I leaned my head against the window, looking out at the street, quiet, like my heart right now. I want to give back all my happiness that has now been lost. I came back crying, hoping it was all a dream or wishing I could accept the reality after these tears stopped flowing.
