When Marriage Comes Before Love

"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.
