Can you live without me?

An Odyssey Part-5

Eda had slept like a princess. To even say this would be an understatement. It was for the first time in 2 months, Eda had gone to her bed happy and without worries. The same could be said for Serkan too, because finally all his doubts and memory flashes which made him feel uneasy, left him for good.

Eda was still in her bed when her phone ringed.

"Gunaydan! Eda", Serkan greeted.

"Gunaydan, Serkan", Eda greeted back with a thick voice before continuing, "It seems like you got your phone back?"

"Well yes I picked up my phone from my lexus which was parked at our office before coming to you.", Serkan explained to Eda before asking, "By the way from your voice it seems like you are still asleep?"

"Mhmm..", Eda mumbled.

"And I am waiting for you right infront of your house.", Serkan scoffed at Eda before breaking into a chuckle.

Eda raised her head from the pillow to peep through the window above her bed. She saw Serkan infront of her home, standing beside his black BMW coupe while talking to her on the phone. She waved at him.

"Look up! I'm waving at you.", Eda alerted Serkan through the phone.

Serkan looked up and spotted Eda waving at him from her bedside window. He waved back while speaking, "Yeah I see you, are you waving me goodbye? Do you want me to leave right now? We can postpone our plans till lunch if you like?", Serkan asked a bit unsure.

"Hayir! Hayir! Don't leave.", Eda clarified quickly before she began rambling, "I'm waking up, tamam! So, don't leave. I will come and get the door for you. So, you can wait inside while I get ready, tamam?"

"Tamam!", Serkan agreed at this proposal.

Eda got out of her bed and descended down the stairs to open the door for the Serkan. He was already waiting by the door, waiting for her to open up.

On opening the door, Eda saw that Serkan was wearing a white Polo shirt with brown shorts which highlighted his arm and leg muscles very well. In the meantime Serkan observed that Eda was wearing a very funny night dress similar to the one which she had worn during their stay at Antalya, she looked very cute in it. He then couldn't help noticing how funny she looked in her night dress which made him snigger at her.

"What happened?", Eda asked immediately on seeing Serkan smile strangely at her.

"Your dress!" Serkan broke into a chuckle before continuing, "It reminds me of that night in Antalya."

"Oh I see..", Eda agreed with Serkan before narrowing her eyes and asking, "Do I look funny in it?"

"Ahh.. funny yes, but very cute too.", Serkan replied back truthfully, grinning.

Eda too laughed at Serkan's words before asking him to enter the house. Once inside she offered him, "Water?"

"Evet!", Serkan replied back.

Serkan then accompanied Eda to the kitchen where she poured two glasses of water. One for Serkan and one for her. Once both of them had emptied their glasses, she offered him more water but he declined.

Eda then escorted Serkan to the living room. Upon entering the living room, Serkan recalled the evening in which his family and friends had come along to ask for Eda's hand. He was also unwantedly reminded of the salty coffee prepared by Eda's friends which he had to drink against his will because of Eda's family tradition. He let out a small chuckle while thinking about that evening, which didn't go unnoticed by Eda.

"You remembered something?", Eda asked, almost sure of what serkan was thinking.

"Evet! I was reminded of that evenings in which I came asking for your hand." Serkan replied looking Eda in the eye which made her smile shyly.
