Until the End

Atychiphobia-Part 1

"Mhm, I know it's Saturday and we don't work on Saturdays, but I have some articles to verify first." Bora announces, ruining the spell...

"How do you manage to ruin all our beautiful moments, I wonder?" I ask, making one of those sad faces.

He smiles and kisses my cheek.

"It won't take long. After I am done, I am all yours!" Bora says and winks back at me.

"Promise?"

"Promise!"

After Bora left the room and went to his office, I got dressed with one of his T-shirts and went downstairs to prepare breakfast but as soon as I entered the living room, the view left me breathless.

The table was prepared for two. Candles were all over the room and a bottle of wine accompanied by two glasses was waiting on the table.

'Did he prepare all this for us?'

I couldn't believe my eyes, it's not the first time Bora did something like this but I was mad at him, and truth to be told I gave him some hard times the past days, but he still did this.

'He did this and you were getting drunk in a bar...Good job, Ada!'

To say that I felt embarrassed is an underestimate, I was feeling like crap. Bora prepared something nice for us and I ruined everything...And I don't remember anything of what happened last night.

I looked more carefully around me and I noticed my favourite food on the table, everything I liked was there. Even white bread...

On one side of the table I noticed something and that felt like a punch in the stomach.

'I think this was supposed to be my place at the table.' I thought and I got closer.

A beautiful white rose(gül) was placed on the plate, and I swear a tear was threatening to leave my eyes at that moment. Even if I don't like ripped flowers, roses are the only exception as long as there is only one. One rose is the only exception I can accept, because they remind me of my mom... Especially the white one, and he remembered...

'Of course he remembered, you idiot! No one in this world knows you better than him and all you did was to ruin his surprise!'

I stayed there God knows how long, analyzing everything and hating myself for ruining all of this. But there was no going back, all I could do was to think of something to make up for last night, and in a blink of an eye, the perfect idea popped into my head.

And here I am now, knocking on my husband's office door with a cup of coffee in my hands, ready to make him forgive me for the shit I did last night.

I enter the office and he is looking at his laptop, seeming very concentrated on what he is reading.

I approach his desk and leave the coffee next to his laptop.

"Oh, thank you so much aşkim!"

"The pleasure is mine!" I say, closing his laptop.

"What are you doing? I have work to do." Bora says, looking up at me.

His eyes travel down my body, scanning me from head to toe and vice-versa.

"Didn't your parents teach you that it's not nice to stare at someone?" I say, remembering his words from earlier.

"You don't know that it's not nice to wear your husband's clothes?" He asks, pointing to his T-shirt.

"Oh, do you want me to go and change?"

"No! I was joking. It suits you much more well than it ever suited me, anyways..." Bora tells me, grabbing one of my hands and drags me close to him, ending up on his lap.
