When Love Comes

"Wake up girl or you'll be late for college.

Layla Aydın is a 19-year-old journalism college student who lives with her parents and younger brother Ahmet.

The summer vacation was over and that was the first day in college. Her mother, Lale, was happy for her daughter's conquest. Layla would start her first period and her parents were happy for the girl's conquest.

Five minutes and I promise I'll get up.

Layla Aydın, I told you to get up now.

The girl's mother opened the curtain and the sun of that sunny second came through the window.

***

Emir Divit, a 36-year-old publicist, is the owner of one of Turkey's top advertising and talent agencies. Abandoned and discredited in love, three months ago, the night he would ask his girlfriend to marry him, instead of making a surprise to Sevda, he was surprised to hear that, in addition to her being leaving for Italy, abandoning him after 5 years of dating, in the suitcase she would take his new love, which was none other than his rival.

That morning the publicist woke up late, had lost the hour after spending almost the whole night in the clear, trying to focus on the new campaign in which his agency would compete.

Everything reminded Sevda and after a lot of trying, eventually gave up.

He got out of bed and went to the bath. A new week began and he was sure he would succeed in creating something.

***

-Layla, pay attention on the first day of school, be careful when walking down the street with the headset because I know you and I know you hear it in the heights. You know that even a short walk to college, it's dangerous to move cars this time of day.

Furkan, the young woman's father, scolded his wife.

"Honey, stop treating Layla like a child. She's an adult and she knows right and wrong.

"Daughter, here's the lunch money for the week, and if you need anything, you'll tell me.

Ahmet, who was drinking coffee in silence, complained to his father that while he was carrying his lunch, his sister made money.

"Look at my age for yours, boy.

"Father, Mother, wish me luck and i'll do well on the first day of school. Bye, you little ass, you take care of yourself at school too and make sure you don't get in trouble.

The young woman said goodbye to her family and left. The backpack on her back, saw if the mother was not looking and took off the phone and connected the headset. He kept it in the bag that was on his side, and walked off to college. From her home until then it was less than 15 minutes, so she took the opportunity to do her exercise early.

**

Emir talked to his sister, who in the midst of the tenth marriage crisis, bothered his brother at that time of day.

"Leyla my dear, can we talk when I get to work? I'm driving the traffic is chaotic and you crying like that, I can't understand anything.

"Brother, I swear I tried, but Aras doesn't understand that I want to establish myself in my career and I don't think about having children now.

Emir was the older brother and his younger sister was all he had in life. The parents lived in a city in the countryside and the children lived in the great İstanbul.

All right, Leyla. I'll come by your house tonight. Now I really need to hang up! We'll talk later.

The two said goodbye and Emir stopped at the sign, on a street that wasn't that busy. The sign opened and when he turned the corner, he heard just the tummy of something crashing into his car.

"Let it be no biker- Emir stopped his car and got down in a hurry and was surprised by what he found.

A teenage girl had hit the side of the car and the girl was lying on the ground, moaning in pain because of the impact.

"Girl, don't you pay attention to where you're going? -Emir fought with the young woman who remained drooping with a knee injury.

"You don't pay attention to where you're driving, are you blind or what? I was just around the corner and your car came up to me and ended up running me over.

Emir couldn't believe what she was talking about, there it showed that it was his preference and that girl was wrong and wanted to blame him.

She tried to get up and Emir went to her and helped her stand up.

When the girl touched her hair, Emir saw the headphones. I'm sure she listened to the music in the heights and didn't pay attention to traffic.

"If you had been without these headphones, I'm sure you would have paid attention and wouldn't come in at the same time as me.

Layla was outraged, she was right and she was sure of it and that stupid, lousy driver who approached her car.

"Come here, your know everything, you're the one who's probably bought a license and you're paying for a good driver.

As soon as the girl spoke, she noticed her dirty pants and the broken lucky bracelet.

"Hell! Look what you did. You idiot, my lucky bracelet is broken. Today's my first day in college, and it's your fault I'm going to be late! And on top of that, take a big sermon from my parents.

Emir had never met a girl as uneducated and dirty-mouthed as that.

"Hey young lady, I wasn't to blame for anything and you're the one who turned the corner at the same time as me.

Layla knew he was right, but she wouldn't take up her mistake and now she needed to pack her bracelet and didn't know how. If i told the parents the truth. You'd get scolded for being irresponsible, and Lale would probably ground her.

Then an idea came to your mind.

"Look, you drop me off in college, fix my lucky bracelet, and I don't tell my parents anything, and I don't even call the traffic police for you.

Emir couldn't believe what he was hearing, that girl was blackmailing, and on top of that, I wanted him to pay for her bike repair.

"Girl I ...

"All right, you're not going to take it, so I'm going to call my father who's a lawyer right now, and I'm going to call him here to sort this out.

Emir would apparently have a hell of a Monday, meeting that rude girl and a blackmailer.

"All right, girl. I'll drop you off at college and have your bracelet fixed and you forget what happened here.

The publicist helped the girl get in the car. She had given the bracelet to him, which she kept in her suit pocket. The blackmailer settled in the passenger seat and when she got into the car she noticed the way she was installed.

Excuse me? Emir pointed to her feet that she was messing with her phone and didn't pay attention.

"Can you please take your feet off?

"Oops sorry sir. I'm just used to it.

Emir turned on the car and took a deep breath, asked for the college address and found out it was less than 10 minutes away on foot and the girl was making a fool of him. You thought it best not to say anything, you've had too much trouble in less than five minutes next to her.

She heard sound at the last volume and he heard the noise coming from the headphones in her ear.

That's why you didn't pay attention to traffic. Teenagers with no notion and no education. " Emir thought to himself and in less than three minutes parked outside her college.

Emir gave the young woman a ride and didn't even know her name.

"Layla! And what's your name?

"Emir!

"Good... you're delivered. I'm going to ask you to fix your lucky bracelet and ask an employee to bring it to you.

"Why don't you come and get me at 1:00 and bring me my bracelet? So I can apologize for almost running me over and for screwing something that has an important value to me.

The girl looked at the time on the clock and spoke a swear word that Emir even was startled by that girl's manners.

"I expect you up front at 13. You're not late because I must be home before 1:30 or my mom eats my liver.

Emir was left not knowing what to answer and just agreed with the girl and was surprised by the kiss she gave on her face.

She got out of the car and before she got in, she said goodbye to him again.

Bye, Emir. Don't be late and take my bracelet to a jewelry store that's good.

The young woman ran, late leaving a Emir totally unreacted.

Layla rushed into the room and the teacher from the first class of the day was making the call. The young woman excused her and went to sit at one of the back tables as the front rows were all occupied. Took her cell phone out of her purse and looked at the messages in whats' best friends forever group ❤️

"Laylaaaaa, where are you girl?"

"Hey, are you still asleep? Look what time it is.

"Layla dear, where are you?" Elçin and I are coming in and you're not enough.

Layla laughed at the messages of friends Elçin and Samia.

The three girls grew up together and studied together since kindergarten and decided to enter the same college. While Layla chose journalism, Elçin chose Fashion and Samia decided for Nutrition.

It was difficult to find a college, where the three courses that were totally different from each other existed, but with much suffocation, the mothers of the young women ended up choosing İstanbul Üniversitesi.

"Girls, something's come up, I tell you at the time of the break.

He kept his cell phone in his purse and answered the call when the teacher said his name. It was the first day of the next 4 years of the young woman and she would strive, graduate and become a successful professional.

**

Emir parked at the jewelry store that his assistant gave the address, was near the office and he was late. He looked at the time on his watch and passed 8:30.

Surely Kerem, his partner and one of his best friends, was worried about his delay, even though he warned Aisha that a small problem had arisen.

Good morning, sir! Emir greeted the man who arranged a jewel, sitting in a cubicle filled with pieces of watches.

"Good morning, what can I do for you?

"I'm wearing a bracelet with a broken clasp, from what I understand she's from an old model. Is it possible to weld now?

Emir took the bracelet out of his pocket and handed it to the man, who carefully analyzed the piece.

"Look, I can't do this job right now, because I've got this pair of rings for this morning. Even though it's a simple model bracelet I need some time to weld the piece. If you want to leave here and stop by and pick it up after 2:00.

-14 hours? But the girl needed the bracelet before and Emir didn't intend to revisit that uneducated creature again.

"Can't you fix it before 13? I'll pay triple the service if possible.

"Sir, it's not about the money that I can't get past the service. If you want, that's the time I can deliver.

Emir thought for a few minutes, he was way behind, he needed to organize his next project and that girl messed up her whole day. Either he left it there at the jewelry market near work or he would have to move somewhere else and that would take time and for Emir time was money.

"All right, sir. You can have the bracelet, I'll leave it here, i'll buy whatever it takes, and I'll pick it up after 2:00.

Emir and the goldsmith settled the payment, and I'm sure it was a cheap bracelet, not a diamond-studded one. Did you ever think you'd have to shell out some money on benumbered by a college blackmailer?

Emir would go to the girl's college, take her to the jewelry jeweller and return the bracelet. And he hoped never to meet her again in his life.

He said goodbye to the man and went to work.

On the way, his cell phone rang and only answered the call because it was the mother calling.

"Mom, I can't talk right now, I'm driving and I already know the subject. I'm going to talk to your daughter tonight.

"Son, your sister called me desperately. She thinks Aras will abandon her and her father is already by my side complaining. He insisted that Leyla not get married and look at what happened.

Apparently all the problems in the world took the day off to show up and it wasn't 9:00 in the morning and Emir already wanted the day to end.

"Mom, I'll talk to you later. I really need to hang up and I'm driving. I don't want to get fined or hit anyone again.

He turned off his cell phone before mom answered anything. He entered the garage of the building and parked in the reserved space. He got out of the car, locked himself in the elevator, and in less than three minutes he was already in the agency.

"Emir at last! Kerem is stressed in his office because the project E&K was going to take over went to another agency.

"Another agency? But how? I didn't even sketch or anything.

Emir walked into his friend's office, who was on his cell phone with someone.

Aisha, you can go back to your office. I'm going to go talk to him. Better, don't go to your office, no, bring me a really strong coffee because I need it.

"It's all right! "The secretary left and as soon as Emir sat in the armchair, the friend hung up the phone and Emir noticed his nervousness.

What happened? Emir asked about his friend trying to stay calm.

-You don't have to worry about any project! They sent me an e-mail this morning telling me that another agency took over.

But how? I didn't even get a chance to start working on it.

Emir thought the secretary was referring to another small project and not the project he had trying to do and couldn't because his mind was on his ex-girlfriend.

"Why did they cancel? We had it all right and I didn't even start thinking about the idea of the campaign.

"They didn't tell me, they simply warned that as the contract had not been signed, another agency delivered the project they wanted and that's it. Now do you have any notion of what this is going to do at the agency? We lost two major projects in less than a year.

Emir knew what his friend meant, the first project went away along with Sevda and he suspected he had fingered that useless Onur.

"Tell me the truth, was that the agency that asshole is working at? Sevda! I'm sure she passed all my ideas and as he was faster than me, I ended up being made of muggle twice.

Kerem had no intention of telling his friend the chosen agency, but it was no use hiding anything from Emir.

"I wasn't going to tell you anything, but it was Onur's agency. God knows how from Italy, he managed to get in front of us, probably Sevda must have given the idea of what you intended to do.

Aisha walked into the office and saw the bosses desolate with what was happening. She worked for both of them since college, was their intern and ended up getting the position of secretary/assistant. I had Emir and Kerem as bosses and friends.

"Don't be like that, I'm sure everything will work out and Emir will get new ideas soon.

Emir took the cup of coffee and drank a sip. His day that started bad, ended up getting worse when he heard that news and blamed the little college blackmailer. She was the one who brought the bad luck to her day.

**

Layla and her friends were sitting in the college cafeteria. The three friends told about the first day of school and Samia noticed that her friend kept looking at the clock.

" Layla, are you worried about something? He texted the group about an unforeseen event, we told him how our first half of class was and you're there looking at this watch. Something's going on and you don't want to tell him? Samia, who of the three friends was always the most discreet and the oldest, noticed that her friend was hiding something and did not want to tell.

"She did something, I'm sure! Tell Layla right away, what did you do to be late? - Elçin was interrogating her friend who had the thought of the man who ran her over and curious to know if he would have the courage to go to college to leave his bracelet.

"Nothing happened, I just had a little problem first thing in the morning. One with no notion almost runs me over, my lucky bracelet went for repair and now I'm going to have to sit here waiting for him.

Samia and Elçin were startled by what she said.

"But you don't have any scratches or anything. What do you mean, one with no notion? Explain it right. - Samia questioned and Layla explained how the accident had happened and that luckily the bracelet was the only one injured in the midst of all the confusion.

"And that was my dear friends of the heart. All right, I was wrong, but he didn't pay attention either and ended up touching the car on me and i got off balance and ended up falling to the ground.

" Layla, you're really crazy girl, have you ever wondered if something worse happens to you? And you're even crazier than getting into a stranger's car.

"His car was luxurious and by the clothes he wore and the watch on his wrist, I assure you poor, he was not.

"Even so, you play with danger," Elçin caught the eye.

"If I'd known about the sermon, I wouldn't have told you.

The signal rang and the break was over and each one would return to his living room.

"I'm going to wait for you until this man comes with your bracelet. Then I'll go with you to your house.

"I agree with Samia.

"All right, my dear best friends. We're going to go or I'm going to end up late until after the break.

The three followed each to her living room and Layla only wished that the class would end and she could meet Emir again.

**

Emir and Kerem, after calm, decided what the publicist would do from now on. His ex knew everything about him, what he thought and what he would do in various situations.

"Man, I'm sorry about what I'm going to tell you, but sevda, besides being in love, is going to give you everything she knows about you on a plate? What did you do so wrong so that the woman who "died" for you now would become the girlfriend of the man who's hated and envied you forever?

Emir felt like a complete failure. Even as Aisha tried to cheer up the boss, he felt useless for the first time in his 36 years of life.

"If I've slept with her for five years so far, I don't know what I've done, how am I going to answer something I'm trying to understand so far?

Emir saw the time on the clock and 15 minutes to 13. He needed to pick up the college blackmailer before she called the police, and when he got to college, her father would be there waiting.

"I have to go now that I have to pick someone up yet and with the confusion, I didn't tell you. I crashed the car, I mean, someone knocked on my door, and finally, I'll tell you after I get back from lunch. Should I be there after 3:00 today and you're going back to the agency or are you going to meet Zeynep?

"I'm having lunch right here. Actually, I thought you'd be around, too.

"I don't miss it, but I need to pick up the girl I almost ran over and as I told you, I'll tell you what happened later.

Emir said goodbye to his friend and first stopped by Aisha's office and warned that anything was on his cell phone.

He went down to the parking lot and would hurry to pick her up and drop her off at the jewelry store. After, i'd go to your house and take a shower, so maybe the headache that was starting to show up was gone.

He'd go to college, get the girl, explain about the repair, and then leave. He got in the car and left with the thought that everything was going to work out.

**

" Layla, I think this man tricked you and you're going to lose your lucky bracelet and you're still going to get scolded by your mother.

The young lady saw the time and he was 15 minutes late. She thought it best to make up an excuse for mom until she figures out what to do with the bracelet. Her father would understand, but her mother would surely fill her bag so much that she would listen to the sermon for the next 10 generations.

I'm going to call my mom, you two shut up, and Samia , if Mom asks, confirm I'm having lunch with you.

Layla dialed and her mother answered and was already asking why the girl had not yet come home.

"Mom, I just got out of class and I'm having lunch with Samia.

Let's celebrate our first day of school and don't worry i won't be late.

"All right, Miss Layla, but I'll wait for you at home before 3:00 p.m. Your brother has school assignment and you need to help Ahmet. Your dad's not coming to lunch either, there's a problem in the office, and he's going to stick around to sort it out. Watch out and send a hug to Samia.

The young woman silently thanked her mother and was nervous about not knowing what to do until Emir's car parked in front of the college.

"I'm safe! Girls, my ride's here. I don't want to talk, and I'll call you when I get home. Samia won't say anything to Mom until I tell you.

The young woman got in the car without waiting for her friends' answers. Knowing the two, Layla knew that they would stop the girl from getting in the car.

Emir barely parked and the girl got into the car and as the first time, put her feet on the dashboard of the car.

"I thought you ran off with my bracelet. "Before Emir could say anything, the girl was already feeling like she was the owner of the car and asking for her lucky bracelet.

"If you can get your feet out of there, I appreciate it. And we're going to get your jewelry now. Actually, it's going to be ready only after 2:00, but I'm going to drop you off at the jewelry house and it's all paid for. I have no more responsibility and you can go your way so I'll follow mine.

Layla wanted to say something, but Emir turned on the sound of the car and the young woman realized that he did not want to talk to her and thought it was better that way.

Besides thick, he was grumpy. He took the headphones out of his bag and put it on Spotify and gave play to his favorite playlist.

Emir drove with great care, after the bad morning he was even afraid to be around that girl and something bad would happen to him. He stopped in front of the jewelry store and the girl had her eyes closed, quietly singing a song he couldn't understand.

She turned off the car and Layla opened her eyes and noticed that they had arrived at the place where the grumpy took her bracelet. If he knew how important that cheap jewelry was, he wouldn't act the way he was acting.

The jewelry store until it was organized at least outside.

"At least I brought my bracelet in a decent place. Now we're going to have lunch and I hope you're ready so I'm going to go home soon.

Layla went down first and Emir followed after her. Upon entering the place, the first thing Emir noticed was the man working on another jewel instead of her bracelet.

"Lord, forgive me for the delay, but the pair of rings was harder than I thought and as you left no contact, I could not warn.

"This can only be a joke! Emir spoke to himself and beside him the college blackmailer looked on his face with a debauched smile.

"Sir, can we wait? I believe in 10 minutes, you will repair that bracelet. I think it's just putting a solder on the clasp and that's it.

Layla , who kept her mouth shut, answered first than the mechanic.

"Sir, this bracelet is special to me, and I'm sure you won't fix it in 10 minutes. So, me and my friend here, we're going to have lunch and we'll be back in an hour.

Layla left first and Emir didn't believe that in addition to paying for the repair, she would want it until he had her lunch.

"The girl's right, forgive me, sir. But in an hour I guarantee it will be ready and I'll give it to you as new. I'm even going to take the opportunity to clean the trinlets that I noticed are old and need only a polish.

Emir tried to understand you, even if he didn't agree. The morning had already been a horror and now i'd must pay lunch for the blackmailer.

When she left, Layla was waiting leaning against the car door.

"So, the jeweler said what time is it ready?

"In an hour and I'm going to drop you off at the first restaurant I find. I've had a rough morning and I must go home.

Layla noticed that that man was very stressed, and it wasn't because of her. He decided to put the cutie aside and ask if he was okay.

"Hey, if you want, I can keep you company for lunch. We're strangers, but I've read once that strangers can be the best listeners. We can have lunch together and you tell me your problems and I'll tell you how my first day in college was.

For the first time since you met that girl, Emir smiled. And it was a sincere smile.

"All right, let's go. I'll buy you lunch, and we can talk for a while.

Layla got in the car and before Emir started the young woman replied that she would choose the place.
