"So what did Emy tell you? Will they finally come to stay at the mansion?" Seida asked Cem, who had just finished his conversation with Emy.

Cem left his cell phone on the table in front of him and leaned back comfortably on the couch.
It was late afternoon and the family was having their tea in the living room.

"Yes, I will go to pick up the girls tomorrow morning from the hotel."

"Nice.. I" ll inform Eda to get the rooms ready," Seida replied.

"Ah .. Perfect .. I" ll have a company too .. I'm tired of being the only girl in the house ." Esra said excitedly.

"Why are you saying that?" Melis asked as she entered the living room holding a tray of borek **.
"Aren't me and your mother girls?" She asked annoyed and leaned the tray on the table.

"Yes, but .. you and mom are .. Big girls .. I would like a someone close to my age" Esra explained.

"Don't worry Melis Teize " said Kerem, laughing.
" For me you will be my favorite girl." he added and grabbed a borek from the tray.
"Mmm. See? With this goods you made I fall in love with you more" he said pointing to the borek.
Melis sat down next to him and caressed his cheek.
"My dear ..how nice kid you are. How Lucky will be the girl that you'll marry" She answered tenderly.

Cem  took a borek but before he eat it said
"Speaking of that.."

" What? " Seida asked.
Cem sneers at Kerem.

"Let's say that today someone showed her interest in Kerem," he replied, chewing.
Melis clapped excitedly.
"Ah, another bride ..." she exclaimed and Kerem almost drowned with the borek he was eating.

"Bekle (wait), you said today .. Don't tell me this girl is one of Emy's cousins?" Esra asked excitedly.

"Oh, yes," Cem replied.
"her name is Marilou and she is the youngest of the cousins ​​..." he added.

"Allah Allah .. one way or another we're going to be related to the Hatzis," Yusuf said.

"Nonsense ..." Kerem said annoyed.
"Cem is exaggerating .. After all she is almost a child .."

"Child? She is 19 ..." said his cousin.

"She is little ..." Kerem insisted.

"Hmmm. How did our grandpa say that Greek proverb?" Cem Wonder rubbing his chin pretending to think.
"A .. Yes," he exclaimed.
"Little in the eye but to the bed.. "
"Cem!! " shouted Melis, Seida and Yusuf at the same time.

Cem burst out laughing.
"Shame on you," Melis added.

"Why? When  grandpa told that, you didn't seem to bother" he replied.

" Your Grandpa didn't know what he was saying when he drank raki***" Melis explained.

"I don't think your father was the best role model for our kids" Seida told Yusuf.

"Askim (my love) you are exaggerating. You know what a serious man my father was," he replied.

"After the recent events ..? I'm not so sure" whispered Seida and got up from the couch.

"Anyway, I'm going to find Eda ... to get the girls' rooms ready," she finally said.

"Wait. I will come with you," Melis said.
"I want everything to be perfect for our brides," she added, following Seida as Cem , Ezra and Yusuf burst out laughing.

********************** ***** *****

Marilou came out of the bathroom with a towel gently wiping her hair and went to the living room.

On the big couch, Emy was sitting with Rallia, who was painting her nails.

"Wow .. I feel so fresh ..." she said and sat in an armchair opposite them.

"Finally .. You're in the bathroom for an hour" replied her sister observing the fingernails of her left hand.

"My hair needs special care," Marilou justified.
"That's why it's so long ..." she added proudly.

"Yes, my Rapunzel," Emy teased her.

"You're Jealous" exclaimed her cousin and threw her the towel which almost fell on Rallia but
Emy grabbed her in time and stuck out her tongue.

"Come on, get serious ..." Rallia shouted.

"Yes ma'am," Emy said and stand like a soldier.

Rallia put the coat aside and shook her hands back and forth to dry her nails.

"Have you finally decided what to do with Cem?" She asked Emy.

"What question is this?" Marilou extented
"Of course she will accept his proposal."

"Marilou is not so easy .. On the one hand I think of the company .. It's unfair everything that our grandparents built with so much effort to be destroyed .." Emy replied.

"And after half a century the property passes to us again ..." Rallia added excitedly.

"Part of the shares, not the ownership!" Emy corrected her.

" If you said so" replied her cousin.

"Anyway .. . Girls I can't marry a man who feels nothing for me. Things will get more complicated than they are." Emy admitted and closed her face in her palms.

"Why get complicated? Emy .. What's going on?" Marilou asked.

Emy took one of the decorative pillows on the couch and hugged it.

"I'm afraid ... I'm afraid I've feelings for Cem," she admitted.
"I like him.. . I like him very much .. Every time I see him my heart beats so hard that I think it will break .. my throat dries .. I can not articulate a word .. And when I manage to speak I said things that shouldn't say.  Every time he looks at me my body numbs .." she added.

"Emy .. You aren't afraid that you have feelings for him .. You're afraid that you have fallen in love with him .. Isn't that so?" Rallia asked and Emy looked at her desperately.

"Oh My God!!!"Marilou shouted
" You're already fall in love with Cem" added shoked and closed her mouth.

Emy hid her face on the pillow embrassed.

"I don't believe it .. I left you alone for four days and you fell in love" Rallia exclaimed to her cousin who was sitting next to her.

"These things happen where you least expect them," Marilou said, sitting on the other side of the couch next to Emy who takes her face from the pillow.

"What am I going to do ... I can't marry a man who obviously doesn't feel anything for me," she said, whining.

"Why do you say that? he maybe fall in love with you too" Rallia said.

"Rallia, you saw him with your own eyes
Men like him will never look at someone like me "

" So, This is your chance ..." Marilou replied. Emy and Rallia looked at her without understanding.

"Ah .. Do i tell you everything?" Marilou asked.
"Men are like kids," she explained.

The girls continued to look at her in astonishment.

"The kids need the help of an adult when they are on the road. Someone to grabs them by the hand and leads them to the right place. Men are buds if you don't 'push' them a little they aren't going to show you importance."

Rallia seemed to be processing Marilou's words.
"So what do you suggest?" Emy asked.

Marilou hugged her and caressed her shoulder.
"Marry him Emy! It's a chance to take him by the hand and lead him to you," she suggested.

" little one ... Where did you learn that?" Rallia asked, looking suspiciously.

Marilou smiled wickedly.
"I have a personal advisor on these issues," she said.

"Secret counselor? Little one, tell me quickly who he is?" Her sister warned.

"In order to understand how a man thinks, the only one who can help you is ..." Emy and Rallia waited to hear her answer with impatience.

"An another man of course .. I speak about such issues with Damos." revealed Marilou.

"Which Damo? My brother?" Emy asked in shock.

"Who else .. The only man I can trust for such matters is Damos, who knows me better than anyone. We talk on Viber and he advises me," Marilou admitted.

"OMG, I had the specialist in my house and I didn't know it" Amy replied.

"Now that we know it we have to take advantage of it," Rallia admitted.

"Hmmm .. And now that I have opened your eyes .. With your permission I am going to sleep. I want to shine tomorrow when I meet Kerem" said Marilou and got up to leave.

"Where are you going;" Rallia stopped her.
"To the bed of course .. Where else?" said her sister naturally.

"Emy and I will sleep in the bed .. You will sleep on the couch as the younger one" said Rallia opened and closed her eyes with an affectation.

"But ..." Marilou tried to react but the girls got up and pushed her on the couch.

"Good night Marilou" they said and ran to the bed.

Marilou threw the pillows angrily and they burst out laughing.
"It's my fault I advised you ..." she shouted.
Emy got up and gave her a sheet and a pillow.
Marilou arranged them on the couch and lay down.
"Is just for tonight."she said turning sideways."
"Tomorrow I'll be close to my beloved " she concluded.

Rallia, who was lying on the bed, looked at Emy and said:
"Emiroglou family, you don't know what awaits you"
