His humanity

In the haze of moment he lost all senses as stared at her eyes, holding her hand being so close with her but yet so far.

"Where am I?"she asked with her scratching voice due to the dry throat.

"At hospital! " He couldn't recognize his own voice when come out as he was still hipnotize by her.

"Hospital?!" She closed her eyelid for a moment, that sady his soul that wanted more from her universe looked like eyes.

"Mert!Mert! Where is Mert? Where is my boy?" She yelled as remove the wires not thinking of pain.

"Sibel calm down! He is fine. You save him. Stay down, you are hurting yourself."

"You are lying to me. Leave me! I want Mert."

Sinbad was trying to prevent her to get up in that state when Mert come.

"What are you doing dad?" Mert misunderstand his father as approached Sibel's bed. Sinbad felt like ground need it to be open and swallow him.

"Mum finally you wake up." His eyes held salt water that rolled down becoming precious tears that Sibel couldn't permit him to have. She deleted them and forgot the pain completely and showered him with kisses and hugging as he will be gone in the next second.

Sinbad saw that her love hasn't changed, all contrary has grown more becoming selfless.

Again the mystery why she left Mert started hunting his mind as Sibel couldn't get enough from pampering, kissing, inhaling Mert baby scent as she always did.

Doctor and the nurse arrived as soon as they noticed the alarm when she remove the wires.

"Look like a perfect duo of mother and son. " Doctor said as Sibel wasn't paying any attention to them. She was holding Mert. She couldn't get enough. How could she?

"Ma'am you should be resting you had a grave  operation." Nurse tried to intervene as per separating Mert from  her claws.

"Don't touch my son. I don't care if I face death again and again just to have him in my arms." Sibel sounded radical as all she did was fold her arms around Mert.

"Mom, the nurse is right, you just came from an operation and you need full rest or your stitches will open. At least do it for me mom?"

Mert requested and she nodded. Carefully he put her under blankets. Just like that she swiftly obeyed his words. Doctor and nurse checked out her vitals and replaced the wires. Sibel's attention was on Mert as all along from her eyes tail  some droplets of tears rolled down. She was marveled after Mert, looking at him both with sublime love and the redempt love.

As soon as the doctor and nurse left she invited Mert to join inside the bed. 

Mert saw his father the same as Sibel and her pleading eyes made Sinbad nodd.

Her eyes smiled as moved to make space for her baby.

"Mert, you are my reason to breathe and live. If it didn't happen, what happened I will never let you without my presence."

"Mom, as I said Dad explained everything to me. Don't worry I am not blaming you at all. I know he is the… " Mert held his mouth to say more, to not hurt his father who was kinly listening to their smooth conversation.

"Isn't only your father to blame, I hope I found courage to tell you why I need it to go away from you." Sibel said and fell asleep just like that.

"She looks like a little girl, dad. Always chatting till she falls asleep peacefully. I should leave her alone. Maybe I am hurting her."

"Nonsense, stay there, she will be alert if doesn't see you when she wakes."Sinbad covered them and left a soft peck over Mert's hair.

"Kiss mom too, dad!"

"You do the honor of my boy, I can't touch her without permission from her."Mert stared at him than gladly completed his suggestion.

"What will be the next sin I commit unknowingly with you, love of my life " Sinbad thought as stared  at her peaceful face snuggled inside on Mert crook.

He didn't think for long and took a picture of them like this.

***

"Sibel, Sibel come!"

"I am coming, Sinbad!"

"You are too slow, love."

"No, you are too fast, love."

Mert stirred at sleep, making her eyes open the next moment.

"Again I dream with him?" She thought as look around, the light was off as the night was about to fall over the eternal city. He was standing before the large Window, with his hands shoved in his jeans pocket.

For the first time she saw him like a man, like a human being not like the monster or the devil she always imagined.

The sun set color fell over his face giving him a look of humanity. He was stoic in his glare through the window examining the world as fall at sleep.

" Sinbad" just one barely whisper came from her dry throat, his name and he immediately turned on her side.

"Sibel" he said as left his monumental place and came next to her.

"Did he eat?" Her whisper came again and strangely he could listen perfectly. He smiles, uplifting his charm in her eyes.

"He had never missed a single meal since you left him in my arms. Only yesterday he escaped for a few hours but we ate something before coming here. You scared us."

"Everything happened so fast, but I will do it again and again if he will be safe in the end. I can't live without him, I can't breathe without him. He is the reason I live, Sinbad." She affirmed as looks at Mert sleeping peacefully as she smoothly combs his hair with her fingers.

"Although I was doing for my underworld work I knew you will always protect him that why i brought here to you. "

"Thank you!" Her crying voice come out with a powerful sobbing that tear his heart. He was doubtful to go or not near her till she raised her hand towards him. A single ray of hope that he caught it.

"Don't thank me, Hayatım (my life). I am the one to say thank you for gifting me a child from you flesh and blood."he held her hand so gently you may think would break next moment.

There was her baffled looking at him, so closer and she didn't have the disgusting feeling that he always made her feel. All contrary seems to want more from his proximity.

"Can you do a big favor?" She squeezes his fingers that place a weird but pleasant feeling under her skin.

"Let me guess it! Benim Karagülım (My dark rose), want to get out of hospital before the morning come." He said as she nodded smile.

Maybe was the effect of medicine but she felt a tinkle in her stomach hearing him calling her  Karagülım (dark rose). She purses her lips, blinked her eyes as bobbed head up down, confirming his guess.

"Call it down, Hayatım ( my life)." Another epithet and second tinkle joined the first one in her stomach.

İn the dimm light of the room she could see his feature that wasn't diabolical as she thought  a decade ago. As he left the room she turned to her son that was still heavy sleeping. Her mother instinct made she to place her right elbow over her son head, angling so she could place her head on her palm as the free hand caress Mert hair . The boy in deep slumber feeling the familiar warmth lean down placing his head over her chest and cross the arm around her body.

"Mom, don't leave me! Mom, don't go! Mom, I missed you!"

" I am here baby. I will never let you again." Sibel combined her sweet voice with her hands to calm down her son but couldn't avoid her tears to fall down.

Mert sense her hot tear touch his front slowly he opened his eyelid.

" Mum I am sorry! Did I hurt you?" He immediately detached himself slowly not hurting her.

Sibel had something when her inside pain cross the limit line her body became numb of physical pain. She didn't feel the pain of broken rib's or the multiple scratches on her arms.

"I have missed you boy, you have no idea how much I wanted to say you are my son. But couldn't. I am sorry for every sorrow I cause you my boy."

Her streaming tears ,

her deep breath,

her heart accelerated her beat and in the  next moment her monitor heart start to make a strange click. Mert got alerted.

" Done as per you wishes! Sinbad entered thrilled that made her wish true but face a scenario when she was loosing breath and both mother and son were in devastated situation.  Without thinking went beside her.

A arm took hold her waist so slowly yet firm showing her that someone that care is there for her. She tried to find with her sense who was it but in the moment his breath come to her ear her body went relaxed suddenly.

Did he chante spell with his breath?

Mert was refuge on the other arm of Sinbad. Perplexed she tried to find a reason in all what happened but the pain she was ignoring come back cause her inside pain went away.

" My body is hurting guys." She says as lean on his shoulder to easy the shooting pain across her body.

Mert moved away as Sinbad places her on bed. In a matter of minutes the doctor and the same nurse that accompanied him till now came.

"You can go home miss, but the nurse Carla will come with you as you still will need special attention for couple of weeks at least."

A smile adorned her face making her boys heart beat fast for different reasons.

Sibel set on the wheel chair and painful moan escape from her mouth.

"What is wrong mum?"

"My body hurts and this chair is making all worst." She claimed and was true now that her heart was  Good emotionally her body reminded her that she had an accident.

She felt the chair go back and in swift motion she was floating on air.

" I am sorry for doing this but I think you don't feel the same disgusting emotion as before as you already support my presence and let me hold you." Sinbad and his way to express hit Sibel's correct accord she fold her arms as nodded.

A smile appear on his pursing lips but wasn't the only one smiling. Mert was too.

His being was floating in the air as hold her for dear life in his arms, he raised arms a bit like her face came to his crook. The inhaling of her lungs made his heart a drummer.

"Who do you think you are to hold her? Put her down immediately!" Was the anger voice of Andrea that face them at the doorway.

"Andrea my mom isn't in condition to support your jealousy." Mert interverne.

"You both are trying to brainwash my Sibel."

"She isn't your Sibel and I will make sure she never will be." Mert greeted his teeth toward him infuriating Andrea.

"Sir, the patient can't stay on the wheelchair as she felt pain sitting there. That is why mister holds her in arms."

"I can hold her too. Give her to me."

"NEVER!" was a single word that make poor Carla to step back in fear. Sibel was in deep slumber not recognizing the around she searched for support on his body, sneaking her arms around his neck.

The smirk on Sinbad's face was worth billions as he trolls away from the hospital. An ambulance waits for them outside. Andrea wanted to go with them but Carla stopped him as there were enough people inside the ambulance. Sinbad holds her in his arms even inside the vehicle. She didn't oppose it as was still sleeping.

Mert was watching the scene with admiration. His father was really crazy in love with his mum as couldn't remove the eyes from Sibel. A white tendrils was making Sibel steer as couldn't permit her to wake up, Sinbad blow his hot breath over her face making once again comfortable. He had lean his face to closer and her radiant warm that come from her red lips boiled his nerves he was thirsty and she hold the water of life on her plumbing lips. How much he wanted to end his thirsty but as soon as he closed his eyes the terror he made her pass stopped him from doing further. With closing eyes he let tears wet his harsh skin face, repented of his sins towards her.

"Ohh, your father really loves your mom!" Carla said to Mert as they were set opposite them.

"Yeah!" He shortly responded as he well knew the reason behind those painful tears.
