Chapter 36

I finished dinner and, just then, I heard my cell phone ringing and I had messages from the girls giving their opinion about Khan's mother. Lisa said: “What did that woman think?” Zoe told me: “You did well to put the points.” Zafirah congratulated me for what I did. Silvina: “What a great friend to have with that lady.”

Marina told me: “People believe that they can say whatever they want about you.”

I told them about Khan's missed calls, that I didn't think about getting back to him quickly, that first he had to resolve his issues and settle his mother's points. The father did behave well.

I asked the girls when they agreed to see each other and I told them that I loved them very much.

I lay on the couch with Martín and Lola.

I took my cell phone and called my dad. I asked him if he could lend me the private jet because he wanted to go to Barcelona for a few days tomorrow and he told me there were no problems.

My dad was in charge of calling Captain Michael to travel as soon as possible and he told me he was going to talk to his driver, whose name was Ryan, so he would pick me up to take me to the airport.

I asked dad if our apartment in Barcelona was available and he told me yes. I thanked him very much and told him that all I needed was for the veterinarian to bring me Lola and Martín's papers so I could take them with me to Spain.

I hung up the phone with Father who, luckily, didn't ask me about my sudden decision to travel because I didn't feel like telling him yet what had happened between Khan and me.

I called the cats' veterinarian, whose name was Nicolás, and asked him to fill out all the paperwork for the cats so I could take them to Spain without problems.

He told me it was fine, that he would take care of it.

It's been a while since he took me on vacation. A few hours later, Captain Michael called me and told me we would be leaving at 8am tomorrow. I thanked him and told him that I already had the documentation for my cats so I could travel to Spain.

From what I had researched, we had to go from Istanbul to Croatia on a first stopover. The second leg of the trip was from Croatia to Barcelona, which was several hours.

I got up from the couch and separated two large suitcases and one small suitcase and the two cat carriers. I put a large suitcase and a small suitcase on the bed and went to my closet. I separated dresses, t-shirts, shorts and skirts, pajamas, shorts and bras.

In addition, I separated two flats and two pairs of Converse. I was thinking of buying some things there. Also, I kept a pair of black jeans and a wide leopard T-shirt and the leopard flats in a suitcase.

Also, I went to the bathroom, took out my cream, a perfume, my toothbrush, a new toothpaste, a shampoo, a conditioner, a soap and put everything in a bag. Also, I put away my laptop and charger.

I sent a message to the driver Rya and told him that dad's private jet would leave at 8. He told me that he would pick me up at 06:30 so we would be on time, since we had to go to the Sabiha Gökçen airport which was on the Asian part of Istanbul.

I closed the large suitcase, I took a Minnie sweatshirt from the closet in case it was cold, I went to the room to see the cats, I grabbed a bag of food, a bag of stones and a shovel and a litter tray, also two plates.

I put everything in the large suitcase and candy and some toys. I grabbed my wallet and took out the money to pay the vet.

I looked for a smaller backpack, but it will fit everything. I took my passport, money, credit and debit cards out of my closet and put everything in my wallet and put everything in my backpack.

I needed to get out what was on my mind and I had deleted Khan's messages from my cell phone. I looked up his number and wrote him a message: “Hi Khan, I haven't read your messages. I am writing to you so you know that I am leaving for a few days, I don't know how many, outside of Istanbul with my cats and because I love you I am going to leave you free and do what you want in your life.

"I'm not going to put up with anyone stepping on me or telling me atrocious things. I hope you're well and that the cats are well cared for and that you pamper them a lot."

Afterwards, I looked up Adrian's number and wrote: “Hello Adrian, I hope you are well.

I would like you to continue sending me messages and photos of the kittens. I'm going to Barcelona for a few days, since I haven't taken a vacation in a while. Thanks for everything".

At that moment, the doorbell rang and it was Nicolás, the cats' veterinarian.

He gave me several papers, one for the microchip that my cats already had many years ago, the rabies vaccine and the triple feline vaccine. I gave him the money, he thanked me and, since he knew I was going to Spain, he gave me all the papers he needed and he told me they would last a month.

I opened the door for him and locked it.

Then, I wrote in my friends' group. I told them that I was going to Barcelona for a week, that I hadn't taken a vacation in a while and that I wanted to go to several museums and that I had several plans. I told them that I was leaving on my parents' private jet and that I told them that I loved them very much.

I put my cell phone on silent to charge it and set the alarm at 05:30. Afterwards, I would sleep on the private jet, I told Lola and Martín about the trip we had.

I lay down in bed and fell asleep from the anxiety of the trip. I got up at 5 in the morning, went straight to the shower and took out the cup.
