Can you live without me?

An Odyssey Part-3

Selin was getting restless with every passing minutes. She threw her phone on the bed. Once again unsuccessful in calling Serkan, the service provider informed Selin for the umpteenth time in the last hour that person she was calling to had switched off their phone. She was walking circles in her hotel suite while being dressed in her wedding robe. Her hair and makeup were already done two hours ago.

Finally Selin thought that she had had enough and descended to find Aydan hamim in the banquet hall. Aydan was having a chat with her friends before Selin escorted her out of the banquet hall.

"Where is Serkan Aydan hanim?" Selin asked with a restless tone.

Aydan rolled her eyes before replying, "Selin darling this is the fourth time you are asking me this question in the last half an hour."

"Well how can't I ask? He has a marriage here, we have to get married and no one has seen him for the last four hours. The guests are beginning to approach me about when the wedding will start. Serkan has even switched off his phone."

"Well Selin darling like you had said that he had left you telling that he had work to attend. Then he must have got struck in his work and doesn't want to get distracted so he must have switched off his phone." Aydan said coolly.

"But it's our wedding Aydan hanim." Selin shotback impatiently.

"I thought you knew Serkan better since you both were getting married." Aydan said with a fake disbelief expression on her face, before continuing, "You see for Serkan his work always had his utmost importance and attention."

With that being said Aydan turned on her heels and left Selin alone in the empty hall way leading to the banquet hall. While on her way back to the banquet hall Aydan hoped that Serkan had already asked Eda for forgiveness and that they were back together."

Meanwhile Selin decided to enquire Serkan's whereabouts from Engin, Piril and other Artlife employees, but none of them knew anything new which was unknown to her. As she once again began to walk towards her suite. Her thoughts were filled with many What ifs? What if Serkan remembered? What if Serkan remembered about Eda? Remembered his relationship with Eda. What if Serkan already knew that she had lied to him everything about Eda? Was that the of why he was giving her a cold shoulder during their last interaction?

No..No..No.. Selin thought. She can't lose Serkan again. Not after getting so close to marrying him and fulfilling her lifelong dream. He can't remember. He can't remember Eda. He doesn't want to. He had already forgotten about Eda. Selin ran through these thoughts trying to calm her as she sat on one of the couch in her hotel suite.

Meanwhile Eda and Serkan were walking in the park nearby Eda's house with their hands interwined.

"I wish Sirius was here too. He was great company when you were gone." Eda said looking Serkan in the eye.

"Yes I remember those days when I used Sirius as an excuse to spend more time with you." Serkan replied grinning which had Eda shaking her head jokingly.

Soon Eda and Serkan walked out the park and reached the cafe where they had coffee for the first time as an real couple and not as an fictious one.

"I remember this cafe!" Serkan spoke while looking inside the cafe.

"You do?" Eda asked. A bit surprised that Serkan had managed to recover the memory of them having their first coffee as a couple.

"Yes we definitely sat there-" Serkan said. Correctly pointing to the table where they had once sat but now it was occupied by another couple, before continuing, "and had our first coffee as an couple." While speaking he pulled Eda close to by her waist.
